Elongated and mineralized stylohyoid ligament complex: a proposed classification and report of a case of Eagle's syndrome.

A classification of the radiographic appearance of elongated and mineralized stylohyoid ligament complexes based on three types of complexes--Type I, elongated; Type II, pseudoarticulated; and Type III, segmented--is proposed. These types are further described by a pattern of calcification: calcified outline, partially calcified, nodular, and completely calcified. The classification is illustrated in a case of Eagle's syndrome in a 55-year-old Mexican-American man with symptoms of chronic otalgia and cephalgia. The surgical management and follow-up of this patient are discussed.

Palatal swellings associated with multilesional disorders: report of cases.

Two cases with similar initial oral manifestations, i.e., solitary, unilateral soft tissue palatal swellings, were presented. These two cases represented separate and distinct conditions, multiple lipomas and neurofibromatosis. These conditions were reviewed briefly, together with tuberous sclerosis, as conditions in which both oral and multiple cutaneous nodules may be present.

Xerostomia: diagnosis and treatment planning considerations.

Long-term xerostomia results in a poor prognosis for the remaining dentition, existing restorations, and denture acceptance. The dentist must be able to recognize xerostomia by the clinical signs and the potential for xerostomia on the basis of a medical history, since xerostomia may not always be the patient's chief complaint. A literature review concerning the etiology, diagnosis, and management of xerostomia is presented.

Medial sigmoid depression: a panoramic pseudoforamen in the upper ramus.

A radiolucency resembling a foramen was observed on a number of panoramic radiographs in the upper ramus just below and slightly anterior to the sigmoid notch. The radiolucency may be unilateral or bilateral and does not correspond to the location of any known major foramina in this region. Eighty-eight skulls with mandibles were examined, and representative samples were photographed and radiographed in order to replicate this foramen-like radiolucency. The radiolucency corresponded to an osseous depression observable in some specimens in the medial portion of the ramus just below the sigmoid notch area. The incidence of this phenomenon in a study of 1,986 panoramic radiographs was also determined.
