Etiologic factors in denture sore mouth syndrome.

A total of 24 patients, 19 women and 5 men, complaining of denture sore mouth was studied. In part I the following investigations were performed: (1) Mechanical factors were evaluated. (2) Temperature was measured beneath the prosthetic denture. (3) Yeast cultures were made. (4) Patch tests with possible allergens were performed on the buccal mucosa and on the skin of the back. In all these investigations there were no significant differences from the results obtained in a control group. In part II the connection between psychological factors and denture sore mouth was explored. Test results of the denture sore mouth group and a matched control group were compared. The obtained data suggest that complaining behavior concerning somatic symptoms in general, on a neurotic base, is a psychological characteristic of denture sore mouth patients.

IgE-mediated adverse reactivity to a radiographic contrast medium.

In a patient with a previous history of a serious reaction after intravenous injection of the cholangiographic agent ioglycamic acid (Bilivistan), intravenous cholangiography appeared to be necessary. Therefore intradermal tests were performed in the patient and four controls with three radiographic contrast media closely related in chemical structure. In addition a Prausnitz-Kustner test with heated and unheated patient serum was performed. These tests demonstrated the presence in this patient of selective immediate-type reactivity to ioglycamic acid which was probably IgE mediated. Intravenous cholangiography with iodipamide seemed justified and resulted in no adverse reactions. Although this case may be exceptional, the results suggest that intradermal skin tests at proper concentrations may be useful in choosing the administration of radiographic contrast medium to patients with a history of prior adverse reactions.

Etiological factors in the denture sore mouth syndrome: an investigation of 24 patients.

A total of 24 patients, 19 women and 5 men, complaining of denture sore mouth, were studied. In 18 persons complaints had started with the wearing of the first prosthesis. In 12 patients complaints started within the first half-hour of contact. Several prostheses had been manufactured for most patients without any beneficial result. The following investigations were performed: a. Mechanical factors were evaluated; b. Temperature was measured beneath the prosthetic denture; c. Yeast cultures were made; d. Patch tests with possible allergens were performed on the buccal mucosa and on the skin of the back. In all these investigations, there were no significant differences with the results obtained in a control group. Finally, the influence of possible psychosomatic factors is considered.
