Transient lingual papillitis is an inflammatory disease of the tongue that can be very symptomatic in children.

The potential causes of this condition are reviewed and a differential diagnosis is provided.

[The oral mucosa and delayed hypersensitivity].

Buccal mucosal allergies are rare because the conditions for sensitization are less favourable in the buccal environment. Clinical presentation is dominated by subjective manifestations (hardening, hypersialorrhea, "burning mouth" syndrome). Extradental etiologies are linked with cosmetic and medicinal topics, as well as dental etiologies caused by metals, alloys of mercury and resins.

Oral candidosis.

Oral candidosis is the most common opportunistic fungal infection encountered in dentistry. Normally a benign inhabitant of mucous membranes, the fungal organism, Candida albicans, may present serious, even life-threatening infection in specific patient populations. As an opportunistic organism, Candida albicans is extremely responsive to any process resulting in immunosuppression. The clinical manifestations of oral candidosis are variable, occasionally complicating the clinical diagnosis and management. Treatment is often initially rendered based on a provisional clinical diagnosis and supplemented with adjunctive laboratory tests. Specific therapeutic intervention should be tailored to the individual patient, based on the current health status of the patient and the clinical presentation and severity of the infection.

[Effectiveness of vitamin A acid in diseases of the mouth mucosa: lichen ruber planus, leukoplakias and geographic tongue].

52 patients, with different pattern of oral lichen planus, pre-malignant leukoplakia or geographic tongue, were treated with vitamin A acid. The systemic medication resulted in regression of discrete papules and leukoplakia-like appearance of oral lichen planus. Linear-hypertrophic pattern of the oral mucosa showed distinct involution only by topical administration of vitamin A acid. Also the patients suffering from pre-malignant leukoplakia or geographic tongue partly improved after a vitamin A acid therapy. Systemic side effects were noted after ignoring the tolerance limit (30 mg/day vitamin A acid/3 weeks). Inflammation and occasionally maceration appeared when local treatment was used over 3 weeks. Recurrence was observed in 11 patients.
