  1. Article ; Online: Intraoral cultural tattooing: Possible forensic utility.

    Brooks, John K / Trummer, Alexander J

    Journal of forensic and legal medicine

    2024  Volume 103, Page(s) 102673

    Abstract The custom of oral tattooing is mainly performed in Ethiopia and Eritrea, and usually results in blue pigmentation of the maxillary gingiva in dentate individuals. However, its usefulness has not been explored in the forensic literature. The aim of this article is to provide a review of this custom and include an unusual case study involving persistent gingival pigmentation. Herein, this report describes a 43-year-old woman from Eritrea who presented with slight bluish hue of the edentulous maxillary ridge associated with cultural tattooing. Elucidation of the cause of subtle blue hyperpigmentation may be challenging as cultural tattooing typically fades with age. Timely recognition of this oral pseudopathologic process may serve as secondary evidence for forensic identification and possibly provide aid in localizing one's ethnogeographic origin.

    Abstract The zoonotic infectious disease mpox (previously known as monkeypox) is caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV) from the Poxviridae family. Presently, mpox is receiving worldwide attention because of its emergence in countries that have never previously documented the illness, resulting in a public health emergency. MPXV is transmitted via human-to-human contact, and sexual contact is especially implicated in spread of the disease. Affected individuals experience fever, headache, malaise, and early lymphadenopathy, followed by a secondary mucotaneous rash. Oral ulcers and perioral papules may be the first evidence of the disease. Although there are numerous articles in medical publications documenting the cutaneous presentations of mpox, there is limited information in the dental literature regarding oral lesions. The objective of this article is to review the oral manifestations of mpox and strategies for management of the disease.

    Abstract Background: The hypoglossal nerve stimulator (HNS) device has been employed in some patients with refractory or unsatisfactory outcomes to chronic obstructive sleep apnea management. The objective of this article is to increase recognition of the radiologic appearances of this device within the head and neck region, as seen on extraoral radiographic and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.
    Clinical presentation: A 55-year-old man, refractory to a multitude of apneic medical therapies, underwent a series of preorthognathic radiologic studies. Notably, an implanted HNS lead and ribbon electrodes appeared as hyperdense structures on the panoramic radiograph, lateral cephalogram, and CBCT scan.
    Conclusion: This article provides various radiologic views of the primary components of an HNS. Clinicians should be able to recognize the presence of neurostimulator devices used for management of chronic sleep apnea within the radiologic field of view of examinations of the head and neck.

    Abstract Blue sclera is attributed to a diversity of mechanisms, mostly arising in genetic syndromes and, to a lesser extent, in nongenetic disorders and may occur as a side effect of medication intake. A literature search was conducted to establish a database of blue scleral associations. This article represents the most comprehensive assemblage of etiopathologies coincidental with blue sclera, comprising 66 genetic syndromes, 8 disorders, and 4 pharmacologically induced pigmentations. To increase the knowledge regarding the clinical significance of blue sclera, summaries of the systemic and oral maxillofacial comorbidities are provided. Recognition of the presence of blue sclera is important as it could prompt a timelier and more thorough diagnostic evaluation of possible systemic and dental malformations, potentially improving clinical outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Treatment variation from observational data has been used to estimate patient-specific treatment effects. Causal Forest Algorithms (CFAs) developed for this task have unknown properties when treatment effect heterogeneity from unmeasured patient factors influences treatment choice - essential heterogeneity.
    Methods: We simulated eleven populations with identical treatment effect distributions based on patient factors. The populations varied in the extent that treatment effect heterogeneity influenced treatment choice. We used the generalized random forest application (CFA-GRF) to estimate patient-specific treatment effects for each population. Average differences between true and estimated effects for patient subsets were evaluated.
    Results: CFA-GRF performed well across the population when treatment effect heterogeneity did not influence treatment choice. Under essential heterogeneity, however, CFA-GRF yielded treatment effect estimates that reflected true treatment effects only for treated patients and were on average greater than true treatment effects for untreated patients.
    Conclusions: Patient-specific estimates produced by CFAs are sensitive to why patients in real-world practice make different treatment choices. Researchers using CFAs should develop conceptual frameworks of treatment choice prior to estimation to guide estimate interpretation ex post.

    Abstract Clear aligner therapy (CAT) has gained popularity in recent years. As technological advancements increase within the field of dentistry, clinicians have opted to prouce orthodontic appliances within their own offices or clinics, often referred to as in-house CAT. Construction of in-house aligners utilizes 3-dimensional printing devices, potentially offering practitioners enhanced control and improving patient comfort. The aim of this article is to review the materials, methods, advantages, disadvantages, and procedural outcomes associated with the fabrication of aligners within a dental office or clinic.

    Abstract Mönckeberg medial calcinosis (MMC) is a potentially serious vasculopathy involving calcification of the arterial tunica media of the extremities, heart, and other viscera. There are a limited number of cases reported in the dental literature, usually associated with the facial artery. Although MMC is often discerned as an occult radiologic finding in middle-aged adults, its presence may serve as a harbinger for end-stage renal disease, diabetes, other pathologic processes, and possible regional hypoperfusion. The objective of this report is to feature an elderly patient with MMC of the facial and infraorbital arteries. In addition, a brief review of published cases of MMC and its differential diagnosis have been provided. It is recommended that affected patients be referred for a comprehensive medical assessment. Timely discovery of calcified arteries may improve patient outcomes.

    Abstract Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor involving the vestibulocochlear nerve. Affected patients typically experience a gradual emergence of episodic imbalance and unilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, and headache. Less often, VS may be associated with facial pain; ocular, otic, and taste disturbance; paresthesia of the tongue and face; and temporomandibular disorder-like presentations. There is limited information in the dental literature relating the myriad of oral and maxillofacial manifestations of VS. The objective of this article is to underscore the importance for dental clinicians to seek clinicopathologic correlations with VS-related symptomatology, potentially resulting in a timelier diagnosis and improved patient outcomes. To convey this clinical challenge, a detailed narrative of a 45-year-old patient with an 11-year delay in diagnosis has been reported. In addition, the typical radiographic appearance of an implanted cranial device placed following VS resection has been provided.
