Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.
Oral Cavity01:11

Oral Cavity

The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...
Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.
Teeth01:15

Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...
Salivary Glands and Saliva01:23

Salivary Glands and Saliva

The salivary glands, of which there are three pairs known as the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands, play a crucial role in maintaining oral health and initiating the digestive process. Positioned near the ears, beneath the masseter muscle, the parotid glands secrete saliva into the oral cavity through the parotid duct of Stensen. Meanwhile, the submandibular glands, located on the floor of the mouth, secrete saliva through channels named submandibular ducts. The sublingual glands,...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Burning mouth and bad taste in a patient with an edentulous maxilla were resolved by identifying and removing allergens from denture base resins. This case highlights the importance of considering allergies in oral discomfort.

Area of Science:

  • Oral Medicine
  • Allergology
  • Dental Materials Science

Background:

  • Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) often presents diagnostic challenges, with idiopathic cases being common.
  • Patients with dentures, particularly those with an edentulous maxilla, may experience persistent oral symptoms.
  • Allergic reactions to denture components are a potential, though often overlooked, cause of oral discomfort.

Observation:

  • A 60-year-old male patient presented with burning mouth and a persistent bad taste.
  • The patient had an edentulous maxilla and wore dentures.
  • Standard diagnostic approaches for burning mouth syndrome were inconclusive.

Findings:

  • Allergenic components within the denture base resins were identified as the likely cause of the patient's symptoms.
  • Eliminating exposure to these specific allergenic materials led to the complete resolution of the burning mouth and bad taste.
  • This suggests a direct link between denture material allergy and the patient's oral complaints.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the necessity of considering allergic reactions to denture base resins in the differential diagnosis of burning mouth syndrome.
  • Allergy testing and material modification can be effective strategies for managing oral symptoms related to dental prosthetics.
  • Further research into the prevalence and specific allergens in denture materials is warranted to improve patient care.
