Mucocele

Mucocele are tiny sacs under the tongue or other areas inside the mouth that are filled with fluid. They are not generally harmful but can cause discomfort and stress on the person inflicted with it. Mucocele usually goes away within 3 to 6 weeks.

Symptoms:
A bump in the tongue or in other areas of the mouth
Translucent to bluish in color
Soft bump although mucocele can also be hard
Swollen
Painless
May cause swallowing difficulties

Caused by:
Mouth injury
Habitual biting of the lip and other mouth areas
Frequent chewing

Treatment :
The best treatment of mucocele is to leave it alone since it will disappear after a few days to a few weeks. Whether you have mucocele or not, avoid biting or sucking your lips.
To avoid mouth injuries, eat properly by chewing your food well before swallowing.
mucocele usually is removed by surgery [scalpel or laser]. There is a chance that after the mucocele is removed another one may develop.

Trigeminal Neuralgia?

Trigeminal neuralgia is the most common facial pain syndrome. It is characterized by a sudden attack of facial pain described as intense, sharp, like an electric-shock, or stabbing. The pain is most commonly felt in the cheekbone, most of the nose, upper lip and upper teeth and, in some people, it also extends to the lower lip, and chin. Pain is usually felt on one side of the face and lasts from a few seconds to two minutes. Trigeminal neuralgia is the most frequently occurring nerve pain disorder.

The trigeminal nerve is the 5th and largest of the cranial nerves. It provides nerve sensation to the face, mouth, and the front of the scalp as well as controlling the muscles involved in chewing.

The average age of onset is between 50 and 70 years old, though it can be seen in younger people as well. The incidence of trigeminal neuralgia gradually increases with age. Almost twice as many women are affected by trigeminal neuralgia as men.

The primary goals of treatment for patients with trigeminal neuralgia include:
Controlling the symptoms.
Relieving severe facial pain.
The surgical treatment options that are available for patients with intractable trigeminal neuralgia that cannot be adequately controlled with medications.

Metal Dentures

Removable Partial Dentures with cast metal frameworks offer advantages over the conventional dentures commonly used. The frameworks of these dentures are cast to fit the teeth. Since they sit on the teeth, as well as being attached to them, they are extremely stable and retentive. The metal framework does not contact the gums. Thus rarely requires adjustments. Modern frameworks are cast from an extremely strong alloy which can be cast very thin and are much less likely to break than the all plastic variety. They are also much less noticeable to the tongue. The advantage is that sore spots are almost never an issue since neither the framework nor the plastic extensions contact the soft oral tissues with any force. Patients who has TM Joint problems or who are known bruxers are much better off with cast metal partials than with plastic partials.
