Salivary Gland Diseases
Salivary Gland Diseases
● Functional disorders


● Obstructive disorders


● Non-neoplastic disorders


● Neoplastic disorders
Functional Disorders
● Sialorrhea (Increase in saliva flow)


– Psychosis, mental retardation, certain
neurological diseases, rabies,


– mercury poisoning


● Xerostomia (Decrease in saliva flow)


– Mumps, sarcoidosis
Obstructive Disorders
● Sialolithiasis


– 92% occur in submandibular gland


– 6% in parotid gland


– Multiple occurrence in same gland is common
Submandibular Gland Lithiasis
● Diagnosis


– Pain and sudden enlargement of gland while
eating


– Palpation of stone submandibular duct


– Occlusal radiograph (80%)
Submandibular Gland Lithiasis
● Treatment


– Can be removed transorally if in duct and easily
palpable


– If in gland and gland is damaged, then gland
should be removed
Parotid Lithiasis
● Diagnosis


– Based on history


– Swelling during meals


– Bimanual palpation of painful gland


– 40% non-radiopaque


– Most
	
parotid stones are multiple
Parotid Lithiasis
● Treatment


– Stones in extra-glandular portion of duct
can be removed transorally


– Intraglandular stones removed
	
from extra-
oral approach
Non-Neoplastic Disorders
Acute Sialadentis
● Etiology


– Viral - ( Mumps)


– Bacterial
Acute Sialadentis
● Bacterial - swelling and dehydration,
xerostomia, failure of secretion with
ascending infection


– (Staph aureus, Strep progenies, most
common infective organism)
● Painful swelling parotid gland, overlying
skin red, pus from parotid duct
Acute Sialadentis
● Treatment


– Culture pus


– Appropriate
	
antibiotic


– Supportive therapy


• Fluids


• Heat


• Salivary stimulants
Chronic Sialadentis

– May spontaneously heal during
	
puberty
Necrotising Sialometaplasis
● Benign inflammatory condition


● Usually involves in minor salivary gland
of hard palate

Diseases OF Lips??


Any Idea??...
Swelling Of Lips?
Swelling of lips


It May be

4. Haemengioma


5. Lymphangioma
1. Mucocele


2. Abscess

4. Salivary adenoma


5. Basal Cell Carcinoma


6. Squamous cell carcinoma

Disorders of tongue, lips, salaivary glands and teeth
Angular Cheilitis
Angular Cheilitis is the Inflammation of one or
both corners of mouth


Multifactorial disease


with


1. Local


2. Systemic factors
Inadequate
Dentures
• Skin creasing with sliva
leakage and maceration
at corners of the mouth


• Host Defences
Compromised
Systemic
Diseases or
Deficiencies
• Anemia


• Iron Deficiency, B12or


Folate Deficiency


• HIV


• Diabetes Mallitus
Trauma
• S. Aureus Species


• Candida Species
Diagnosis?
1. Complete Medical, social, Dental History


2. Complete Examinations Especially for anaemia,
ill fitting denture, denture and candidial
infections.


3. Investigations?


Microbiological:


Blood Tests:


Complete Blood Count


Serum B12,ferritin, serum and red cell folate levels
Management
Elimination of local factors


Denture Hygiene


Instruct patient to leave denture atnight


Referral to medical specialist for underlying medical
cause


Provision of antimicrobial therapy


1. Local


2. Systemic
Antimicrobial therapy
Candida isolated


1. Nystatin pastilles (intraoral)


2. Nystatin ointment (corners)


	
S. aureus isolated


1. Fusidic acid cream (angles)


2. Mupirocine cream/fusidic acid cream (anterior
nares)


	
Mixed infection


1.
	
Miconazole gel/cream


	
Chlorhexidine mouthwash
Lip Fissures
Less common


Midline of lower lip


Majority of these is due to Infections which may be
S.aureus or candidaalbicans


Treatment principle is based on elimination of secondary
cause of infection and then topical steroid Creams
application.


Recurrence is common


Commonly seen in patients of down syndrome along with
angular
	
cheilitis
Disorders of tongue, lips, salaivary glands and teeth
Allergic Cheilitis
Irritation and scaling of lips caused by allergy due to


1. Lipsticks


2. Ointments


3. Foods


4. Moisturises


5. Tooth pastes


6. Lipstick allergy may also be caused by straw sharingand
kissing


Mangement:


1. Identification and removal of the cause of irritation


2. Topical steroids cream can be used for short term
management
Disorders of tongue, lips, salaivary glands and teeth
Actinic Cheilitis
Solar keratosis


Predominantly
	
male patients


Prolonged exposure to sunlight either occupational or
recreational may result this


Long exposure to sunlight


Lower lip more effected


May progress to carcinoma


Biopsy is necessary for completeassessment
Crusting and induration is due to fibrotic reaction of
the
	
connective tissues.


Treatment :


1. Excision by either lip shaveoperation


2. Laser treatment
Exfoliative Cheilitis
Production of excess amount of keratin


Brown scales are formed which may be removed by the patientor
may persist


Reported to be exclusively in females


Histology is simply hyper parakeratosis


Not a malignantcondition


May be related to stress, no definite cause isknown


Various treatments have been used like local and systemic steroids,
cautery, cryosurgery and many others but all withoutsuccess.


Antidepressants have also been used with some successreported.


Resolves itself usually.

It is a gluey, gelatine - like substance
that adheres to the teeth.
Dental caries or tooth decay is an erosive process that begins
with the action of bacteria on fermentable carbohydrates in
the mouth, which produces acids that dissolve tooth enamel.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY


Poor dental hygiene
A small hole, usually in a fissure or in an area that is


hard to clean


The decay penetrates the enamel into the dentin and


pulp


Exposure of blood vessels, lymph vessels and nerves to


the decaying area


Infection and abscess formation
Clinical manifestation
• Pulsating pain


• Abscess formation


• Swollen face
Prevention
• Mouth care.


• Diet.


• Fluoridation.


• Pit and fissure sealants.

• EARLY LESION


• MODERATE LESION


• ADVANCED LESION

DEFINITION
PERIAPICAL ABSCESS REFERRED TO AS AN
ABSCESSED TOOTH, INVOLVES THE COLLECTION
OF PUS IN THE APICAL DENTAL PERIOSTEUM
(FIBROUS MEMBRANE SUPPORTING THE TOOTH
STRUCTURE) AND THE TISSUE SURROUNDING THE
APEX OF THE TOOTH (WHERE IT IS SUSPENDED IN
THE JAW BONE).
TYPES
• ACUTE PERIAPICAL ABSCESS


• CHRONIC PERIAPICAL ABSCESS
Signs and symptoms of a dental abscess include:


• pain in the affected area when biting or when touching the
affected area


• sensitivity to cold or hot food and liquids


• a foul taste in the mouth


• fever


• a generally unwell feeling


• difficulties opening the mouth


• swallowing difficulties


• insomnia
Treatments


• Root canal treatment will be used to remove the abscess. A
drill is used to bore a hole into the dead tooth so that the pus
can come out. Any damaged tissue will be removed from the
pulp.


• Over the counter (OTC) painkillers may help reduce the
pain while an individual is waiting for treatment


• Antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent the infection from
spreading and may be taken together with painkillers.
Examples of antibiotics include amoxicillin or metronidazole.
