Oral Pathology

Hyperplasia associated with the border of an ill-fitting denture, also known as epulis fissuratum, is a reactive fibrous hyperplasia. 

Histologically, this lesion is characterized by a mass of dense, fibrous connective tissue covered by stratified squamous epithelium, often with surface ulceration or inflammation. This makes it most similar to an irritation fibroma, which is also a reactive hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue that develops in response to chronic irritation or trauma.

Analgesics should be administered before the effect of local anesthesia wears off (preemptive analgesia). This approach prevents the establishment of pain pathways and provides better pain control than waiting for pain to occur. It ensures patient comfort during the transition from anesthetic effect.

  • Varicose veins are characterized by twisted, swollen veins that often appear blue or purple. Common signs and symptoms include aching or heavy legs, burning or throbbing sensations, muscle cramps, swelling in the lower legs, and skin changes such as color alterations or sores

    Visible Changes:

    • Twisted, swollen veins that are often blue or dark purple.
    • Bulging veins that may appear just below the skin surface.
  • Physical Sensations:

    • Aching or heavy feeling in the legs.
    • Burning, throbbing, or cramping sensations, particularly in the calves.
    • Swelling in the lower legs and ankles.
  • Skin Changes:

    • Color changes in the skin, which may appear red or brown.
    • Development of sores or ulcers on the skin that do not heal easily.
    • Scaly or irritated skin that may crack easily.
  • Other Symptoms:

    • Restless legs syndrome, which can cause discomfort and an urge to move the legs.
    • Pain in the legs or calves after prolonged sitting or standing.

Complications of Varicose Veins

  • Severe Symptoms:

    • Increased leg swelling and pain, especially after long periods of inactivity.
    • Risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can lead to serious complications if blood clots form.
  • Skin Conditions:

    • Lipodermatosclerosis, a condition that causes inflammation and hardening of the skin.
    • Venous ulcers, which are painful sores that can develop due to poor circulation.

Dental Anatomy


Dentinogenesis is the formation of dentin by odontoblasts of mesenchymal origin located at the periphery of the dental pulp

Dentinogenesis is initiated by the inductive influence of the enamel organ involving molecular signaling pathways, such as Wnt, Runx-2, and TGF-?. In the molar tooth, dentinogenesis starts at the late bell stage, and occurs in the crown as well as root regions.

Predentin, the first organic matrix secreted by odontoblasts, is composed by proteoglycans, glycoproteins, and collagens.

Types of Face Bows

1. Earpiece Face Bow

  • Description: This type of face bow has earpieces that rest against the patient's ears. It is designed to record the relationship of the maxilla to the hinge axis of the mandible.
  • Use: It is commonly used in clinical practice for obtaining accurate records of the maxillary arch in relation to the TMJ. The earpieces help in aligning the face bow with the patient's anatomical landmarks.

2. Twirl Bow (or Twirl Face Bow)

  • Description: The twirl bow features a unique design that allows for easy adjustment and positioning. It typically has a rotating mechanism that helps in aligning the bow with the patient's facial midline.
  • Use: This type is particularly useful for obtaining a more precise relationship of the maxilla to the TMJ, especially in cases where the anatomy may be challenging to assess.

3. Bite Fork Face Bow

  • Description: This face bow incorporates a bite fork that is used to capture the occlusal relationship of the maxillary arch. The bite fork is attached to the face bow and is used to record the patient's bite.
  • Use: It is often used in conjunction with other face bows to ensure that the occlusal plane is accurately recorded in relation to the TMJ.

4. Facial Bow

  • Description: This is a more general term that can refer to any face bow used to record facial relationships. It may include various designs and configurations.
  • Use: Facial bows are used in different prosthodontic applications, including complete dentures, partial dentures, and fixed prosthodontics.

5. Shaft Face Bow

  • Description: This type of face bow is less common and may refer to a design that includes a shaft for stability and alignment.
  • Use: It is used in specific clinical situations where a more rigid structure is needed to maintain the relationship of the maxilla to the TMJ.

6. Kavo Face Bow

  • Description: This is a specific brand of face bow that is designed for ease of use and accuracy. It often features adjustable components for better alignment.
  • Use: Kavo face bows are used in various prosthodontic procedures to ensure accurate records of the maxillary arch.

7. Hanau Face Bow

  • Description: The Hanau face bow is a well-known design that allows for precise recording of the maxillary arch's relationship to the TMJ. It typically includes a bite fork and adjustable arms.
  • Use: It is widely used in dental laboratories and clinics for creating accurate dental prostheses.
