A mucocele is a tiny, fluid-filled cyst within the mouth. A blockage or damage to the salivary gland is the most prevalent cause. A mucocele is formed when saliva pools due to a blockage or damage within the salivary gland. Biting the lip, cheek, or other parts of the mouth can cause a mucocele to develop. Its management may be difficult for dental practitioners. The purpose of this clinical case report was to discuss mucocele therapy using traditional methods, as well as the benefits and reasons of recurrence.

Abstract Aim The aim of the documentation of this clinical case is to make clinicians aware of “meth mouth” and the medical risks associated with this serious condition. Background Methamphetamine is a very addictive, powerful stimulant that increases wakefulness and physical activity and can produce other effects such as cardiac dysrhythmias, hypertension, hallucinations, and violent behavior. Dental patients abusing methamphetamine can present with poor oral hygiene, xerostomia, rampant caries (“meth mouth”), and excessive tooth wear. Oral rehabilitation of patients using methamphetamine can be challenging. Case Description A 30-year-old Caucasian woman presented with dental pain, bad breath, and self-reported poor esthetics. A comprehensive examination including her medical history, panoramic radiograph, and intraoral examination revealed 19 carious lesions, which is not very common for a healthy adult. She reported her use of methamphetamine for five years and had not experienced any major carious episodes before she started using the drug. Summary The patient's medical and dental histories along with radiographic and clinical findings lead to a diagnosis of “meth mouth.” Although three different dental treatment modalities (either conventional or implantsupported) have been offered to the patient since August 2007, the patient has yet to initiate any treatment. Clinical Significance This clinical case showing oral manifestations of meth mouth was presented to help dental practitioners recognize and manage patients who may be abusing methamphetamines. Dental practitioners also may be skeptical about the reliability of appointment keeping by these patients, as they frequently miss their appointments without reasonable justification.

Bhd Syndrome

Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome is a rare hereditary disorder associated with autosomal dominant hereditary epithelial carcinomas, in which patients have an increased incidence of renal cell carcinomas, scattered hamartomas, pulmonary cysts, and spontaneous pneumothoraces. Other less common findings include lipomas, parathyroid adenomas, salivary gland tumors, and colonic polyps/tumors. Early diagnosis of BHD can help establish renal screening and reduce mortality by early detection and more effective treatment of renal cell carcinoma. This case report describes the sonographic features of salivary gland oncocytomas found in a patient with BHD.

В статье представлено описание семейного случая миотонической дистрофии Россолимо-Штейнерта-Куршмана-Баттена. Диагноз подтвержден в результате ДНК-диагностики: выявлено увеличенное число копий CTG-повтора гена DMPK, ответственного за развитие миотонической дистрофии. A family case report of Rossolimo-Steinert-Curschmann myotonic dystrophy is presented. An increased number of copies of CTG-repeats of the DMPK gene responsible for the development of MD, i.e., the diagnosis was confirmed by molecular genetic method.
