1/6. Postanesthetic necrotic defect.An unusual defect was noted in a 10-year-old girl near the usual site of administration for an inferior nerve block. It was interpreted to be the result of a local anesthetic having been administered 2 months previously.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = administration (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/6. Rare lesions of the oral cavity: case report of an actinomycotic lesion limited to the gingiva.actinomycosis is an infectious disease that frequently has chronic granulomatous and suppurative lesions caused by saprophytic actinomyces species. Although cervicofacial actinomycosis is known to be the most common type, intraorally and periodontally types occur rarely in a localized fashion. The present case reports on an adult periodontitis patient with a diffuse and atypic actinomycotic lesion which was limited to the gingiva and had an abscess formation, a large desquamation and subsequent exposure of the alveolar bone in the involved region. diagnosis was based on histopathological examination, the history of the case and clinical nature of the lesion. The patient responded to daily administration of 100 g doxcycycline (first day-bid) for 3 weeks and 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate irrigation (following tooth brushing) performed with oral hygiene reinforcement and periodontal debridement procedures. Complete improvement of the lesion was observed after 5 weeks. Due to the opportunistic characteristics of the actinomycotic infection, early and adequate differential diagnosis of actinomycosis prior to therapeutic attempts, as well as management steps, are of great importance in the oral cavity to prevent the spread of the disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = administration (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/6. Oral geotrichum candidum infection associated with hiv infection. A case report.Infections with geotrichum species, although rare, are sometimes seen in immunocompromised hosts. We report a case of oral geotrichosis in a patient seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus who had erythematous mandibular and maxillary gingiva but was otherwise free of any active systemic disease. geotrichum candidum was shown by both culture and histopathology to be present in the lesion and was deduced to be the causative organism. The patient responded well to several weeks of treatment involving oral topical administration of nystatin vaginal tablets.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = administration (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/6. Treatment of gingival lichen planus with a free gingival graft: a case report.lichen planus is an inflammatory dermatosis affecting the skin and mucous membrane. In oral lichen planus, the gingival tissue is often involved. Treatment is symptomatic and depends mostly on the administration of corticosteroids and tranquilizers. This report presents the case of a patient with gingival lichen planus who was treated with free gingival graft. Followup after 3 1/2 years showed that the lesions had completely disappeared.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = administration (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/6. Endogenous endophthalmitis with subretinal abscess after dental procedures.Endogenous endophthalmitis with subretinal abscess is an extremely uncommon complication following dental procedures. An unsuspected source of infection or misdiagnosis of the condition as iridocyclitis may result in inadequate or delayed treatment leading to severe visual impairment. A high index of suspicion is required for accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment. A 49-year-old man was found to have endophthalmitis in his right eye after treatment of gingival abscess. Ophthalmoscopic examination revealed multiple septic emboli and a 4-disc diameter sized subretinal abscess in his retina. No other infectious origin could be found on systemic work-up. Cultures from blood, urine, aqueous and vitreous were all negative. Pars plana vitrectomy was performed 8 days after the initial presentation because of deterioration of visual acuity to finger counting despite intravitreal and systemic antibiotics administration. visual acuity recovered to 20/25 one month postoperatively and the retina remained attached during follow-up for 1 year. Ophthalmologists should be aware of the possibility of transient septicemia-induced endophthalmitis and subretinal abscess after dental procedures. Prompt intervention with systemic and intravitreal antibiotics combined with pars plana vitrectomy can achieve successful visual and anatomic outcome.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = administration (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/6. pigmentation following long-term bismuth therapy for pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis.In the recent literature, only a few reports deal with generalized pigmentation caused by bismuth treatment. We report a patient developing generalized pigmentation of the skin and mucous membranes without further signs of chronic bismuth poisoning following long-term administration of bismuth for pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis. bismuth deposits were documented in a skin biopsy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = administration (Clic here for more details about this article) |
