Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus is strongly associated with descending necrotizing mediastinitis of odontogenic origin.
We hypothesized that poorly controlled diabetic status may be a negative prognostic factor for acute mediastinitis of odontogenic origin and we conducted a cohort study in order to verify this hypothesis. (Source: Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and Endodontics)

Desquamative gingivitis treatment with topical tacrolimus applied to a custom tray: an open trial regarding its efficacy on patients' symptoms
To evaluate the efficacy of topical tacrolimus offered on a custom tray to treat desquamative gingivitis (DG). Study design: Eighteen patients with symptomatic DG related to oral lichen planus (OLP) or mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) were selected, of which 13 completed the study. Periodontal treatment was followed by the fabrication of a custom silicone tray to apply a tacrolimus gel formulation (0.1%). Clinical evaluation (complaint of pain and burning – visual analog scale from 0 to 10; and the presence of erythema, desquamation, vesicle/blister, erosion, ulcer, and bleeding) was performed by the same examiner on day...

An ulcerated lesion of the left maxillary mucosa
A 67-year-old male patient presented with an ulcerated lesion of the left maxillary mucosa adjacent to the first and second molar teeth, which had appeared six weeks previously (Figure 1). Ulceration was present on both the palatal and buccal gingivae. No other significant intra-oral findings were present. Extra-oral examination revealed no apparent lymph node abnormality. The patient was receiving methotrexate 15mg per week for treatment of polyarthritis for five years; no other contributory medical history was present.

What does the preliminary data tell us about the impact of recreational marijuana use on outpatient sedations?
Over the last few years, the legalization and acceptance of medical marijuana (cannabis) for various health conditions has sparked debates across medical communities and societal settings. Recreational marijuana use in the United States has continued to rise since its legalization by many states. Amongst the many areas of healthcare affected by this evolving landscape is the field of outpatient sedation and anesthesia. The provision of office-based ambulatory anesthesia care is a central element of the day-to-day practice of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (OMSs).
