Minor salivary glands show diverse levels of secretion in different regions of the oral cavity. The smallest production can be measured at the palatal glands, the highest in the buccal and the lingual glands. The labial glands show an intermediate value between the palatal and the buccal flow rate. According to the literature, secretion of the mino...

Background: The polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM) complex encompasses a heterogeneous group of acquired autoimmune skeletal muscle diseases called idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). Despite their histological and immunopathological differences, the end result of the affected muscles in all of these entities is the triad of chronic i...

The palate and upper lip are the regions of oral mucosa covered with the least amount of saliva. These areas are important for maxillary denture retention and stability. Thus, patients with xerostomia or hyposalivation may have problems with the stability of maxillary complete dentures. The purpose of this study was to compare the unstimulated whol...

The effects of the alkali metals sodium, potassium and lithium on the growth and on certain virulence factors (adhesion, cell-surface hydrophobicity and the germinating ability) of Candida albicans were investigated. It can be concluded that high concentrations of alkali metals possessed an inhibitory effect on the growth of the Candida cells and p...

Polysystemic autoimmune diseases often cause orofacial and stomatognathic symptoms. Inflammation of the temporomandibular joint only rarely and slightly reduces the range of mouth opening (rheumatoid arthritis), which is much more restricted in systemic sclerosis due to fibrosis of perioral soft tissues. Weakness of masticatory and pharyngeal muscl...

Denture retention is related to forces necessary to completely remove the denture from its basal seat. The liquid-joint model for explaining denture retention is accepted by most of the authors. According to this model retentive force is a function of saliva surface tension, liquid film thickness, surface of contact and the liquid-denture contact a...

Inspite of the antiepileptic therapy, both of our patients were suffering from grand mal seizures.
