ABSTRACT: A case with oral tuberculosis and unaware of systemic tuberculosis is reported. The oral lesions clinically manifested as two painless ulcerations in the hard palate. Pulmonary tuberculosis was diagnosed following the histopathologic and bacteriologic examination of the oral lesions.

ABSTRACT: The creation of sialoliths in the ductal system of major salivary glands causes characteristic symptoms due to the obstruction of the flow of produced saliva. If sialolithiasis is not treated early obstructive sialadenitis will develop and its repeated relapses may lead to fibrosis and degeneration of glandular parenchyma. In this study we present the method of intraglandular injection of biotherapeutic solution (1.000.000 I.U. penicillin G in 5 cc normal saline) to achieve treatment of obstructive sialadenitis and rejection of the sialolith. Our results as shown in tables I and II and in figures 1-9 are very encouraging. From the conclusions drawn it looks like this method can be recommended as an optional solution to surgery (lithectomy-adenectomy) under the conditions mentioned in the discussion.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to present the clinical and histological features of one case of lateral periodontal cyst with keratinization. The incidence, the histological features and the aetiopathogenesis of this type of cyst that is recurred were discussed.

ABSTRACT: Histochemical and ultrastructural study of the epithelial regions forming lumina in one case of pleomorphic adenoma of the palate was undertaken. The ultrastructural findings suggest that these epithelial regions are derived from the intercalated ducts. The presence in the cytoplasm of periluminal cells of pinocytotic vesicles and vacuoles containing material similar in appearance of that seen in the luminal supports a reabsorptive activity of these cells. The microcalculi of calcium phosphate occasionally seen in the cytoplasm of these cells may be formed by the phagocytosis of the endocytotic material from the lumina.

ABSTRACT: The consideration that mucosubstances act as sites of nucleation and salivary calculi growth prompted to this investigation. Nine calculi of the main excretory duct of the submandibular gland were decalcified and routinely embedded in paraffin. From the blocks serial sections were cut and stained with haematoxylin and eosin and the subsequent histochemical methods for mucosubstances. 1) Alcian Blue-PAS. 2) High Iron Diamine-Alcian Blue. 3) Alcian Blue with critical electrolyte concentration. 4) Alcian Blue before and after testicular hyaluronidase digestion. 5) Acrolein-Thionin-Shiff-PAS 6) Toluidine Blue. Neutral and acid glycoproteins originated from the submandibular gland were predominated in the organic matrix. Glycosaminoglycans probably originated from the connective tissue were detected in the outer areas of the organic matrix. In the central and peripheral parts of 3 salivary calculi spheroid bodies, 1-30 in diameter, were present. The spheroid bodies were unstained with all the histochemical methods for mucosubstances. It is possible the glycoproteins of the submandibular gland to act as nucleating sites in the formation of calculi or, to be passive constituents which are bound by the already formed crystals of the calculi.

ABSTRACT: The present work is based on a study of 100 cases of sialolithiasis referred to the Department of Oral Medicine, Dental School, University of Thessaloniki during the period 1963-1986. Among 100 cases sialolithiasis was distributed as following: Submandibular glands 89 cases, parotids 8 cases and minor salivary glands 3 cases. Sialolithiasis of sublingual glands were not found. In most of the cases the calculus was single while on 16 cases calculi were double or even more. Among the cases of sialolithiasis of minor salivary glands we found single in two cases while in the remaining one the calculi were double. There was a slight but not significant prevalence in the male sex (52 male/48 female) and their age varied from 6 to 70 years. In 72% of the cases the patient's age was under 40 with the most common (34%) in the 3rd decade. Inflammatory swelling of the sublingual plica and wharton's duct appeared in 46.4%. Complication of acute sialadenitis was observed in 23.7% of the cases. The first symptom was swelling of the gland during the meals (88.7%) while pain in the gland was followed after different period of time. The duration of symptoms was ranged between 1 to 30 years in 3% of the cases, and in the remaining 61% it ranged from 1 day to 1 year. The calculi were removed surgically in 40 cases and conservatively in 8 cases. All three cases of minor salivary gland sialolithiasis were treated surgically. The remaining 49 patients didn't return for complete treatment.
