Objective: Sialolithiasis is a common disease of the salivary glands. Sialolithiasis occurs mainly in the submandibular gland (80–90%) and to a lesser extent in the parotid gland (5–20%). Sialoliths may be single or multiple. Multiple sialolith in the submandibular gland are rare. Seventy to 80% of cases feature solitary stones; only about 5% of patients have three or more stones.  Patients commonly experience pain and/or swelling.Methods: A 51-year-old male came to Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with a swelling and pain at the right submandibular. The panoramic radiograph showed a radiopacity mass with well-defined in right submandibular. The Ultrasonographic interpretation showed hypoechoic inhomogeneous mass with multiple calcification.The submandibular gland removal was performed by extraoral approach.Result:Multiple sialolith in the submandibular gland are rare. A surgical approach for removal of sialolith in the submandibular gland could be intraoral or extraoral. In this case report, we described five stones in the submandibular gland. which were removed by extraoral approach.Conclusion: There are various methods available for the management of salivary stones. In this case report, removal of the submandibular gland with the stone should still be preferred as the gold standard of treatment and could avoid recurrence of this medical condition.

Pendahuluan: Sialolithiasis adalah penyakit umum kelenjar saliva. Gejalanya termasuk pembengkakan kelenjar yang terlibat, terutama selama makan, dan nyeri tekan, yang mungkin mereda tetapi dapat kambuh kembali. Sialolith terjadi terutama di kelenjar submandibula (80-90%) dan pada tingkat yang lebih rendah di kelenjar parotid (5-20%). Sialolith bisa tunggal atau jamak. Multipel sialolith di kelenjar submandibula jarang terjadi. Tujuh puluh dari delapan puluh persen kasus memiliki sialolith tunggal, hanya sekitar 5% pasien yang memiliki tiga atau lebih sialolith. Faktor etiopatogenesis terkait dengan pembentukan sialolith adalah obstruksi, penurunan laju aliran saliva, dehidrasi, infeksi kelenjar saliva, dan terganggunya kelarutan kristaloid. Tujuan penulisan laporan kasus ini untuk menjelaskan etiopatogenesis dan terapi kasus multipel sialolithiasis kelenjar submandibula. Laporan kasus: Seorang wanita 24 tahun datang dengan pembengkakkan dan nyeri pada submandibula kanan. Radiografi panoramik menunjukkan massa radiopak terdefinisi dengan baik dalam submandibula kanan. Interpretasi ultrasonografi menunjukkan massa tak homogen hypoechoic dengan kalsifikasi ganda. Pengangkatan kelenjar submandibula dilakukan dengan pendekatan ekstraoral. Laporan kasus ini menunjukkan Gambaran sebanyak sembilan sialolith di kelenjar submandibula, yang dihilangkan dengan pendekatan ekstraoral. Simpulan: Etiopatogenesis dari pembentukan multipel sialolithiasis pada duktus kelenjar, yaitu faktor mekanis, inflamasi, kimiawi, dan infeksi. Diperkirakan bahwa alkalin serta saliva kental yang mengandung banyak sel mukus, memiliki persentase kalsium fosfat lebih tinggi seperti pada kelenjar saliva submandibula yang mendukung pembentukan sialolith. Pengangkatan kelenjar submandibula beserta sialolith dilakukan sebagai standar baku perawatan dan dapat menghindari kekambuhan. Pasien kontrol kembali satu minggu pasca operasi dengan kondisi baik dan dijadwalkan untuk pemeriksaan radiografis ulang enam bulan kemudian untuk memastikan tidak terjadinya pembentukan sialolith baru di saluran kelenjar saliva.Kata kunci: Multipel, sialolithiasis, kelenjar submandibula. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Sialolithiasis is a common disease of the salivary glands. Symptoms include the glands inflammation, especially during eating, and tenderness, which may subside but may recur. Sialoliths occur mainly in the submandibular glands (80-90%) and to a lesser extent in the parotid glands (5-20%). Sialolith can be singular or plural. Multiple sialoliths in the submandibular gland rarely occur. Seventy out of eighty per cent of cases have a single sialolith. Only about 5% of patients have three or more sialoliths. The etiopathogenetic factors associated with sialolith formation are obstruction, decreasing salivary flow rate, dehydration, salivary gland infection, and impaired crystalloid solubility. The purpose of this case report was to describe the etiopathogenesis and treatment of multiple cases of submandibular gland sialolithiasis. Case report: A 24-year-old woman presented with inflammation and pain in the right submandibular. Panoramic radiograph shows a well-defined radiopaque mass in the right submandibular. Ultrasound interpretation revealed a hypoechoic homogeneous mass with multiple calcifications. Removal of the submandibular gland was carried out with an extraoral approach. This case report showed the appearance of as many as nine sialoliths in the sub-mandibular gland, removed by an extraoral approach. Conclusion: Etiopathogenesis of the formation of multiple sialolithiasis in the glandular duct are mechanical, inflammatory, chemical, and infectious factors. It is thought that alkaline and thick saliva, which contains many mucus cells, has a higher percentage of calcium phosphate than in the submandibular salivary glands, which support the formation of sialoliths. Submandibular gland removal along with the sialoliths is performed as the treatment standard, which can avoid recurrence. The control visit is carried out one week postoperatively in good condition, and the patient is scheduled for another radiographic examination six months after to ensure that no new sialoliths occurred in the salivary gland.Keywords: Multiple, sialolithiasis, submandibular gland.

Abstract Background Lyme disease is the most frequent tick-borne infectious disease in Europe. It often presents with a wide variety of symptoms. For this reason, affection of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) caused by Lyme disease (LD) can be misdiagnosed as a common temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Case presentation The purpose of this case report of a 25-year-old woman presenting to the Departments of Orthodontics and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with extensive symptoms of temporomandibular disorder is to illustrate the delayed diagnosis of Lyme disease which was only made after extensive therapy of the temporomandibular joint. The specialist literature only reports a few cases of patients suffering from Lyme disease with TMJ manifestations. Conclusion This case report and the relevant literature review aim to emphasize the importance of accurate request of medical history and differential diagnosis of acute TMJ arthritis and arthralgia. Early interdisciplinary diagnosis of Lyme disease and early antibiotic therapy are essential to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary, sometimes invasive, therapies.

ResumoSialolitos são estruturas calcificadas, que se desenvolvem no interior do sistema ductal salivar em decorrência da deposição de sais de cálcio ao redor de um acúmulo de restos orgânicos no lúmen do ducto glandular. Acometem mais frequentemente a glândula submandibular e são a causa mais comum de inflamações agudas ou crônicas nas glândulas salivares maiores. São mais frequentes em pacientes de 30 a 40 anos e duas vezes mais em homens do que em mulheres. Os sintomas geralmente se apresentam com o aumento da glândula salivar gerando tumefação local, febre, disfagia e dor. O diagnóstico correto envolve exame clínico, inspeção, palpação, manipulação da glândula e exames radiográficos. Podem ser evidenciados por radiografias convencionais, tomografia computadorizada, ressonância magnética, ultrassonografia, cintilografia, sialoendoscopia e sialografia. O tratamento inclui a eliminação espontânea mediante orientações ou uso de medicamentos sialogogos, ou a remoção cirúrgica do sialolito, sendo necessária, em alguns casos, a exérese da própria glândula. Este trabalho tem como objetivo relatar o caso clínico do paciente G.L.C, 70 anos de idade, sexo masculino, que compareceu ao Serviço de Cirurgia Oral e Maxilofacial do Hospital Federal dos Servidores do Estado, com queixa principal de dor e aumento de volume. Apresentava laudo de ultrassonografia evidenciando a presença de 3 cálculos medindo 10mm, 9mm e 8mm em glândula Submandibular direita. O paciente foi submetido à procedimento cirúrgico sob anestesia geral para exérese da glândula Submandibular que correu sem intercorrências.  O paciente segue em acompanhamento pós operatório de 1 ano com boa evolução e sem sintomatologia.Palavras-chave: sialolito; glândula submandibular; cirurgia oral e maxilofacial.AbstractSialolites are calcified structures that develop within the salivary duct system due to the deposition of calcium salts around an accumulation of organic debris in the lumen of the glandular duct. They most often affect the Submandibular gland and are the most common cause of acute or chronic inflammation in the larger salivary glands. They are more common in patients aged 30 to 40 years and twice as often in men than in women. Symptoms usually present with enlargement of the salivary gland leading to local swelling, fever, dysphagia and pain. The correct diagnosis involves clinical examination, inspection, palpation, manipulation of the gland and radiographic examinations. They can be evidenced by conventional radiographs, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, scintigraphy, sialendoscopy and sialography. Treatment includes spontaneous elimination through guidance or use of sialogogues, or surgical removal of the sialolith, and in some cases the removal of the gland itself is necessary. This paper aims to report the clinical case of patient G.L.C, 70 years old, male, who attended the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service of the Federal Hospital of the State Servants, with the main complaint of pain and swelling. He presented ultrasound report showing the presence of 3 calculi measuring 10mm, 9mm and 8mm in the right Submandibular gland. The patient underwent a surgical procedure under general anesthesia for submandibular gland excision that ran uneventfully. The patient follows a 1-year postoperative follow-up with good evolution and no symptomsKeywords: sialolite; submandibular gland; oral and maxillofacial surgery.

<p>Aplasia of mandibular condyle is one of the several facial manifestations of many syndromes. It is considered as an extremely exceptional stipulation, if it is not seen as a part of any syndrome. The incidence expected 1 in 5600. It occurs due to the growth instability in development of condyle in the intrauterine life, late in the first trimester. It is not discernible at birth and seems to be steadily acquired during the growth. We report a case of condylar aplasia on the right side in an 18-year-old female. The patient reported to the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at ACPM dental College, Dhule, with a chief complaint of underdeveloped lower jaw. The etiology of this condition was unknown, clinical examination and conventional radiographs revealed complete absence of condyle on the right side. A proper diagnosis along with the differentiation from the syndromic cases is of importance. The aim of this article is to present a case with peculiar type of non-syndromic condylar aplasia. <strong></strong></p>

Introduction. Odontomas are the most common type of odontogenic tumors and generally they are asymptomatic. These tumors are formed from enamel and dentin, and can have variable amounts of cement and pulp tissues. According to radiographic, microscopic, and clinical features, two types of odontomas are recognized: Complex and compound odontomas. Complex odontomas occur mostly in the posterior part of the mandible and compound odontomas in the anterior maxilla. Case Report. A young girl patient, 9 years old came to Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with a slow growing and asymptomatic swelling in her left posterior mandible for 5 years in his history taking. The panoramic radiograph show  a radioopacity and radiolucent lesion at the lower second molar region, with well-corticated limits. An insisional biopsi   confirmed  as compound odontoma. The surgery  performed with simple enucleation and curettage under general anaesthesia. Discussion. Compound odontomas are usually located in the anterior maxilla, over the crowns of unerupted teeth, or between the roots of erupted teeth. In this case report, Compound odontomas are found in the posterior mandible. Conclusion. Compound odontomas in the posterior mandible is a rare. The treatment of odontomas depends on the size of the lesion. The early diagnosis, the treatment of choice is conservative surgical enucleation and curettage and prognosis is excellent.

Objective: Odontomas are the most common form of odontogenic tumors of the jaw, represent a benign hamartoma rather than a true neoplasm. They constitute 22% of all odontogenic tumors. Odontomas are consist of two types, compound and complex. The compound odontomas contain recognizable enalmel, dentin and sometimes cementum, shaped in toothlike structures; whereas complex odontomas are composed of irregular masses of dentin and enamel and have no anatomic resemblance to a tooth.Methods: A17-year-old female patient came to Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with a slow growing and asymptomatic swelling in her left mandible. The panoramic radiograph showed a radioopacity and radiolucent lesion, with well-corticated limits. The radioopaque area was amorphous, circumscribed by a thin and irregular radiolucent halo. An inscisional biopsy confirmed the lesion as a complex odontoma. The surgery performed was hemimandibulectomy followed by a reconstruction using a plate under general anaesthesia.Results: Complex odontomas are most likely to be found in the posterior region of the maxilla or the mandible and can be treated with a simple enucleation and curettage. In this case report the hemimandibulectomy was performed due to the extensiveness of the mass.Conclusion: Surgical removal of large complex odontoma with hemimandibulectomy is a rare clinical scenario. The extensiveness of the lesion contributed to its removal technique.
