Abstract

Eating disorders are regarded as “psychiatric syndromes”characterized by irregular eating habits and severe distress about body image. A multidisciplinary approach of a dentist, a psychiatrist and a physician are important and mandatory for correctly diagnosing and proper management of the patient with these disorders. The oral manifestations should be treated at the earliest, failure to which it may lead to more severe systemic complications. This review elaborates the current data regarding the aetiology of each, investigative features, risk factors involved, associated complications and treatment modalities that will be efficacious for the clinician in management of such disorders.

Abstract

HIV is an infection that can lead to AIDS. HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. It’s a virus that breaks down certain cells in your immune system (your body’s defense against diseases that helps you stay healthy). Oral lesions are common in HIV infection. There are over 30 different kinds of oral lesions related with HIV. It is essential to implicit that the oral lesions seen in HIV positive patients are a consequence of immunodeficiency triggered by the Human Immuno-deficiency Virus and not related to the direct influence of the virus on oral tissues. Dental diseases like caries and periodontal disease have greater influence on patients with HIV infection. So, it is crucial that the physician and dentist, together, detect and diminish risk factors for oral diseases associated with HIV infection.

Abstract

Osteoma is a benign osteogenic lesion manifesting from compact or cancellous bone. These can be classified into three types according to their origin. Slow growing osteomas are benign tumours. The recurrence rate is very rare. A very rare neoplastic lesion in the maxillofacial region like Peripheral osteoma is more frequently found in mandible. This is an unusual case of peripheral osteoma present in the buccal aspect of premolar region of mandible corresponding to apical 2/3^rd of ischolar_main. The radiograph provides sufficient information for diagnosis but CT scan is the choice for planning surgery. Completely removing the tumour surgically is the most preferred treatment.

Abstract

Osteoma is a benign slow growing tumour which commonly occurs in craniofacial bones. These tumoursoccur mainly due to proliferation of cancellous bone. It can be of peripheral, central or extra-skeletal type. In peripheral type which is described in this case report arises from the periosteom and is a very rare occurrence in the mandible. Osteomas are usually asymptomatic and can interfere with the aesthetics if they continue to grow to a larger size. These lesions are mostly discovered during routine clinical or in radiographs. Here we discuss a single large peripheral osteoma which arise from the right lower border of the mandibular body in a 50 yr old woman. This lesion caused a deformity of the facial region. Radiographic examination including IOPA, OPG and lateral oblique revealed a solitary radiopaque bony neoplasm. Incisional biopsy of the lesion confirmed the diagnosis to be an osteoma.

Abstract

Lipomas are comparatively uncommon mesenchymaltumours which are benign and originates from adipose cells. Oral lipoma can occur anywhere in the body but commonly develop intraorally in lip,tongue, palate,buccal mucosa, vestibule, and below the tongue and salivary glands. Their progressive growth cause hindrance with speech and mastication due to the tumour’s dimension. Here in thispublication we discuss a case of lipoma in a 28-year-old female patient underneath the anterior one–third of tongue with no pain but interfering with speech and phonation for 2 years.The patient was completely asymptomatic with a large swelling in floor of the mouth and complained of difficulty in speech and eating.
