    Abstract Aims: To report the case of chronic osteomyelitis of a maxilla in a woman with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (DM), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency and mental illness, in an attempt to clarify its pathogenesis and treatment.
    Methods and results: A case of a woman with moderate G6PD deficiency (Class III) who developed bilateral and asynchronous chronic suppurative osteomyelitis (CSO) of her maxilla with extensive bone sequestra, fistulae and whose management was performed by local surgery for bony sequestra and fistulae removal; closure communication under 4 weeks antibiotic cover.
    Conclusions: CSO of the jaw may be a complication of the G6PD deficiency and DM and its severity depends on patient's medical status.

    Abstract Calcinosis is a connective tissue disorder characterized by ectopic calcification in soft tissues. It is subdivided into: dystrophic, metastatic, idiopathic and iatrogenic calcification. The formation of mineralized material in the salivary glands is a common finding in the daily practice of dentists and other specialists. In most cases, this calcification is a sialolith. However, a type of ectopic calcification termed dystrophic calcification is characterized by inappropriate biomineralization in soft tissues and may be associated with trauma, chronic and localized infection or inflammatory diseases. We report a case of a 9-year-old female patient who complained of small nodules in the left parotid region, which begun two years before. Her main complaint was of recurring periods of worsened symptoms characterized by the exacerbation and symptomatic remission of the gland volume with occasional otolaryngologic infections. This study aims to discuss ectopic dystrophic calcification in the parotid gland associated with recurrent infection in children.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the presence of changes in vibration detection and pressure pain threshold in patients with burning-mouth syndrome (BMS).
    Design of the study: Case-control study. The sample was composed of 30 volunteers, 15 with BMS and 15 in the control group. The pressure-pain threshold (PPT) and vibration-detection threshold (VDT) were examined. The clinical evaluation was complemented with the McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), Douleur Neuropathique 4 (DN4) and Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventories (BDI and BAI, respectively).
    Results: BMS subjects showed a statistically significant higher PPT in the tongue (p = 0.002), right (p = 0.001) and left (p = 0.004) face, and a significant reduction of the VDT in the tongue (p = 0.013) and right face (p = 0.030). Significant differences were also found when comparing the PPT and the VDT of distinct anatomical areas. However, a significant interaction (group × location) was only for the PPT. BMS subjects also showed significantly higher levels of depression (p = 0.01), as measured by the BDI, compared to controls; and a significant inverse correlation between the VDT in the left face and anxiety levels was detected.
    Conclusions: The study of somatosensory changes in BMS and its correlations with the clinical features as well as the levels of anxiety and depression expands current understanding of the neuropathic origin and the possible contribution of psychogenic factors related to this disease.

    Abstract The β2-microglobulin amyloidosis is a newly recognized type of systemic amyloidosis, which occurs in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing long-term hemodialysis. The dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA) of the tongue is an uncommon and late complication, which occurs in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis for more than 20 years. The aim of this paper is to report two cases of lingual amyloidosis associated with long-term hemodialysis. Two patients were referred to the Oral Medicine Clinic due to the presence of multiple nodules on the tongue and macroglossia. The patients had history of chronic renal failure and had been dialysed for more 20 years with bio-incompatible cellulose membrane. Biopsies of the lesions were performed and the histopathological features and Congo red stain revealed oral amyloidosis. Both patients remain in clinical follow-up after 12 and 6 months, respectively. Recognition of the amyloidosis tongue lesions can minimize the complications caused by this condition such as obstruction of the upper airways, making it imperative to carry out early treatment. Furthermore, in patients with oral amyloidosis, lesions in areas of trauma may ulcerate and cause pain and dysphagia becoming necessary periodic surgical removal and regular follow-up of these patients.

    Abstract The purpose of this paper was to present 2 cases of green pigmentation in primary teeth caused by hyperbilirubinemia, from different pathologies during the neonatal period. Medical history revealed systemic problems during the neonatal period of an infectious, neurological, renal, respiratory, and cardiological nature, as well as a high amount of bilirubin in both cases and hepatitis in the first. The staining in the teeth was due to hyperbilirubinemia, caused by these systemic conditions. The clinical characteristics of teeth may help in the diagnosis of present current or past systemic diseases. The reported cases confirm the relevance of past medical history in establishing the diagnosis of the etiology of green pigmentation as a result of high levels of bilirubin serum.
