Latar Belakang. Tindakan pembedahan pada pasien dengan kanker rongga mulut dapat mengakibatkan terjadinya defek di area intra oral dan maksillofasial. Defek tersebut dapat mengakibatkan terganggunya fungsi normal rongga mulut, yaitu mengunyah, bicara dan estetis, serta mengurangi rasa percaya diri. Untuk megatasinya diperlukan rehabilitasi fungsi rongga mulut berupa pembuatan obturator. Tujuan. Rehabilitasi defek pasca bedah pada pasien karsinoma sel skuamosa yang melibatkan palatum keras, sebagian palatum lunak, rongga hidung dan sinus maksilaris. Laporan Kasus dan Penatalaksanaan. Seorang pasien laki-laki, usia 74 tahun, datang ke klinik prostodonsia RSGM UGM, atas rujukan dari RSUP Dr Sardjito Yogyakarta, untuk dibuatkan hidung dan penutup untuk langit-langit mulutnya yang terbuka. Pasien merasa malu karena kondisi hidungnya yang hilang dan terbuka, serta susah untuk menelan makanan dan jika berbicara kurang jelas karena langit-langit mulutnya juga hilang/terbuka. Pasien telah menjalani operasi pembedahan hidung dan palatum, karena terdiagnosa karsinoma sel skuamosa. Pemeriksaan obyektif menunjukkan terdapat defek yang cukuo besar pada rongga hidung dan palatum durum dan sebagian palatum molle. Gigi yang tersisa pada rahang atas hanya gigi 23. Perawatan yang dilakukan adalah dengan pembuatan protesa hidung dan obturator. Obturator dibuat dari bahan resin akrilik dengan klamer C pada gigi 23. Untk menambah kekuatan retensi maka ditambahkan magnet di fitting surface obturator yang dilekatkan dengan protesa hidung. Kontrol dilakukan 1 bulan kemudian. Pasien merasa nyaman menggunakan obturator dengan penguat magnet pada protesa hidung. Pasien bisa menelan makanan dan bicaranyapun sudah lebih jelas. Pasien juga merasa obturatornya tidak mudah lepas, ketika menelan makanan maupun saat berbicara. Kesimpulan. Penggunaan obturator dengan magnet dapat mengembalikan fungsi normal rongga mulut akibat defek pasca bedah, serta mengembalikan rasa percaya diri pasien. Background. Surgery in patients with cancer of the oral cavity can result in defects in the area of intra-oral and maxillofacial. Defects can lead to discruption of the normal functions of the oral cavity, ie chewing, talking and aesthetic, as well as reducing confidence. In order to fix the function, the patient needed rehabilitation of oral function such as the manufacture of the obturator. Objective. Postoperative rehabilitation defects in patients with squamous cell carcinoma involving the hard palate, part soft palate, nasal cavity and the maxillary sinus. Case Report and Management. A male patient, aged 74, came to the clinic of prosthodontics Gadjah Mada University Dental Hospital, upon referral from the Dr. Sardjito Hospital Yogyakarta. He wanted to make the nose and the cover for his open mouth roof. He feels embarrassed because of the condition of his nose was missing and open, as well as difficult to swallow food and if he talk was less obvious because of the condition of his nose was missing and open, as well as difficult to swallow food and if he talk was less obvious because the roof of his mouth is also missing/open. He had undergone nose and palate surgery, as diagnosed squamous cell carcinoma. The objective examination shows that there substantial defects in the nasal cavity and hard palate and part of the soft palate. The remaining teeth in the upper jaw only element 23. The treatment that performed in this patient was making the nose and obturator prosthesis. Obturator is made of acrylic resin with C clamer on teeth 23. In order to add strength retention, there was addition of magnet on the obturator fitting surface that attached to the nose prosthesis. The control performed one month later. Patient feels comfortable using the obturator prosthesis with magnetic on nose prosthesis. He can already swallow food again and the talk has been clearer. He also feels comfort since the obturator was not easily escape, while swallowing food or speaking. Conclusion. The use of the obturator with magnets can restore the normal function of the oral cavity caused by post-surgical defect and restore the confidence of the patient.

Oral Tuberculosis is a rare disease, accounting for less than 1% of all cases of tuberculosis. The most common manifestation is a non healing ulcerative lesion of the mucosa which is often misdiagnosed. The recent increase in the incidence of tuberculosis especially after the advent of HIV infection, combined with an emerging global resistance to anti-tuberculous drugs, warrants an increased awareness of the involvement of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in persistent or atypical lesions in oral cavity and oropharynx. Very few cases of oropharyngeal tuberculosis have been described in literature. We report a rare case of tuberculosis of soft palate secondary to pulmonary TB in an 8 year old child.SAARC J TUBER LUNG DIS HIV/AIDS, 2015 XII (2), page : 31-33

The mouth is the common aperture to the aerodigestive tract. With the coordinated assistance of the tongue and lips it contributes to the formation of meaningful sound whilst the presence of intact dental arches allow for mastication. The oral cavity proper represents the atrium beyond the lips reaching to the palatoglossal arches posteriorly, where the oropharynx begins beyond the oropharnygeal isthmus. It is restricted by the cheeks laterally, the hard and soft palate superiorly and the mobile tongue resting on the mylohyoid muscle inferiorly. The paired major salivary glands drain into the oral cavity along with numerous minor salivary glands. The tongue is a thick, mucosa covered muscular structure concerned with mastication, taste, talking and swallowing. The palate is the roof of the mouth, separating the oral and nasal cavities and participating in speech and swallowing. It can be divided into two parts: a bony anterior hard palate and soft posterior palate.

Fibroma is a common soft tissue lesion of the oral cavity, however, the origin of broma in a palatal region is rare. It may arise as a hyperplastic inammatory reaction in response to a local inciting agent, inammatory source, or chronic traumatic injury. These masses represent hyperplasia instead of true neoplasm. We present a case of broma present on the palatal region in an 8- year-old child diagnosed based on clinical, radiological, and histological features.

Necrotizing Sialometaplasia is rare and in the oral cavity it accounts <1% of all biopsied lesion. For decades Necrotizing Sialometaplasia were treated by conservative management as it is a self healing lesion. The progressive healing period was reported from 2 weeks to 3 months in the literature. Is necrotizing sialometaplasia a self-limiting disease? Here we report a case of non-healing necrotizing sialometaplasia which was treated by surgical management. Complete regression of the lesion was evident after the surgical management and no recurrence until two years of follow-up.

ABSTRACT Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is a Gram-negative commensal bacterium of the oral cavity which has been associated with the pathogenesis of periodontitis with severe alveolar bone destruction. The role of host factors such as reactive oxygen and nitrogen intermediates in periodontal A. actinomycetemcomitans infection and progression to periodontitis is still ill-defined. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the role of NADPH oxidase and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in a murine model of A. actinomycetemcomitans-induced periodontitis. NADPH oxidase-deficient (gp91phox knockout [KO]), iNOS-deficient (iNOS KO), and C57BL/6 wild-type mice were orally infected with A. actinomycetemcomitans and analyzed for bacterial colonization at various time points. Alveolar bone mineral density and alveolar bone volume were quantified by three-dimensional micro-computed tomography, and the degree of tissue inflammation was calculated by histological analyses. At 5 weeks after infection, A. actinomycetemcomitans persisted at significantly higher levels in the murine oral cavities of infected gp91phox KO mice than in those of iNOS KO and C57BL/6 mice. Concomitantly, alveolar bone mineral density was significantly lower in all three infected groups than in uninfected controls, but with the highest loss of bone density in infected gp91phox KO mice. Only infected gp91phox KO mice revealed significant loss of alveolar bone volume and enhanced inflammatory cell infiltration, as well as an increased number of osteoclasts. Our results indicate that NADPH oxidase is important to control A. actinomycetemcomitans infection in the murine oral cavity and to prevent subsequent alveolar bone destruction and osteoclastogenesis.

The intrinsic forces necessary for directing the reorientation of the secondary palate appear to reside in the anterior two thirds of the palate or presumptive hard palate. The hard palate could reorient regardless of whether it was intact or separated from the posterior third or presumptive soft palate. The soft palate could only reorient if the palate shelves are left intact. These intrinsic forces, within the hard palate, may be mediated by the mesenchymal cells, their extracellular matrix, or the epithelium surrounding the shelves. This latter possibly was tested by removing the epithelium, from either the presumptive oral or nasal surface followed by measurement of reorientation in vitro. Only after removal of the oral epithelium was a significant inhibition in reorientation observed. The treatment used to remove the epithelium, EDTA and scraping, was shown to remove 41 % of the oral epithelium leaving the majority of the basement membrane intact. The observed inhibition of reorientation did not appear to be a consequence of wound healing. Creation of wounds twice the area that was observed after treatment with EDTA and scraping inhibited reorientation minimally. These results suggest that the epithelium and particularly the anterior oral epithelium plays a major role in the reorientation of the murine secondary palate.
