Alleviation of symptoms and paradoxical brain perfusion shift in oral cenesthopathy
Coping behaviors in oral cenesthopathy were associated with amplified right-sided rCBF asymmetry. This finding challenges the expectation that symptom alleviation would reduce rCBF asymmetry. It may suggest that the coping behavior of the patients with oral cenesthopathy is potentially amplifying asymmetry especially in the higher visual processing to adapt to their symptoms
Case Report
Patients with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) occasionally have difficulties in dental settings owing to specific features, including hypersensitivity and restrictive persistence. When features of ASD remain unnoticed until adulthood, dental procedures would be provided without considering the patient's potential ASD traits. Herein, we present three cases of ASD diagnosed in adulthood that experienced difficulties during orthodontic treatment, r…
A case with burning mouth syndrome followed by dementia with Lewy bodies
Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is characterized by persistent oral burning sensations without corresponding organic findings. Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is a common type of dementia and generally presents visual hallucination and parkinsonism as motor dysfunction besides cognitive decline. In this case report, we present a case in which DLB emerged during the treatment for BMS, with a relatively positive outcome for BMS. A 74 years-old female …
Case series of drug-induced open bite
Although a drug-induced open bite is a rare symptom, prudent medical interviews about symptoms, psychiatric comorbidities, and psychotropic medication history besides oral assessment are necessary to provide a precise diagnosis and appropriate management in collaboration between dentists and psychiatrists
Case Report
Auditory hallucination is usually associated with psychiatric diseases and organic brain illness. It was rarely found as adverse events of antidepressants. Amitriptyline is considered as one of the first line medications for the psychopharmacotherapy of chronic pain including atypical odontalgia (AO) which shows chronic tooth pain without corresponding abnormalities. Anticholinergic adverse events induced by amitriptyline are usually bearable and…
Case report
Long-term, fixed-point posttreatment observation of orthodontically treated patients provided us with the opportunity to capture the onset, development, and improvement of open bite, a type of malocclusion. Based on the chronological sequence of events, i.e., a tendency for open bite to worsen with increasing aripiprazole dosage and to improve with decreasing dosage, it was inferred that the onset of malocclusion was caused by extrapyramidal symp…
A case of vestibular schwannoma with oral burning sensation
BACKGROUND: Despite improvements in surgical techniques, the removal of vestibular schwannoma is related to some complications. Recovery from surgical complications of vestibular schwannoma is often difficult and complications sometimes lead to permanent deficits. However, treatable trigeminal symptoms may be missed in atypical cases. CASE PRESENTATION: A 46-year-old woman complained about burning sensation on her tongue and maxilla for four year…
A case of vestibular schwannoma mimicking burning mouth syndrome
BACKGROUND: An oral burning sensation with unidentified cause in patients with preexisting psychosocial conditions is usually diagnosed as burning mouth syndrome. However, unexpected organic lesions may be detected in rare cases. CASE PRESENTATION: A 35-year-old woman had chief complaints of a burning sensation and numbness of the right side of the lip and tongue, as well as a dry sensation of the mouth with a taste disturbance of the right side …
Personality Traits in Burning Mouth Syndrome Patients With and Without a History of Depression
Objectives: So far, the strong link between neuroticism, chronic pain, and depression has been well-documented in literatures. Some suggested that they might share etiological factors, thus resulting in overlapping constructs. However, such effect has never been tested in burning mouth syndrome (BMS) patients, a complex phenomenon influenced by both neuropathic and psychopathological factors. We aim to clarify how personality affects individual's…
Case Report
Background: Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a common condition of predominant oral pain without evident cause, that maxillofacial surgeons and otolaryngologists often refer to psychiatrists as somatic symptom disorder. In very rare cases, its typical burning symptom mimics those of other diseases in which serious fatal comorbidities may be missed. We encountered three rare cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) with the first symptom of bur…
Case Report
Introduction: Phantom bite syndrome (PBS) is considered as the preoccupation with dental occlusion and the continual inability to adapt to changed occlusion. These patients constantly demand occlusal corrections and undergo extensive and excessive dental treatments. We present three cases with PBS-suspected iatrogenic concerns and the attribution to underlying psychosis. Case Presentation: A 70-year-old female demanded orthodontic retreatment and…
Analysis of Incident Reports of a Dental University Hospital
Incident reports are important for improving the quality and safety of medical care. Healthcare workers with less than one year of work experience have been reported to cause the most incidents, and the most common incident is "drug-related". However, few studies have comprehensively analyzed incidents in dentistry, and the characteristics of dental incidents have not been understood. In this study, to understand the characteristics of dental inc…
Current management strategies for the pain of elderly patients with burning mouth syndrome
Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS), a chronic intraoral burning sensation or dysesthesia without clinically evident causes, is one of the most common medically unexplained oral symptoms/syndromes. Even though the clinical features of BMS have been astonishingly common and consistent throughout the world for hundreds of years, BMS remains an enigma and has evolved to more intractable condition. In fact, there is a large and growing number of elderly BMS…
Clinical features of atypical odontalgia; three cases and literature reviews
BACKGROUND: Atypical odontalgia (AO) is a disease characterized by continuous pain affecting the teeth or tooth sockets after extraction in the absence of any identifiable cause on clinical or radiographic examination. Antidepressants, such as amitriptyline, are reported to be effective in the treatment of AO; however, their efficacy varies depending on the case. In this article, we report three types of AO and discuss its heterogeneity and manag…
Cognitive behavioral therapy for psychosomatic problems in dental settings
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been applied for various problems, including psychiatric diseases such as depression and anxiety, and for physical symptoms such as pain. It has also been applied for dental problems. Although the effect of CBTs on temporomandibular disorders and dental anxiety are well documented, its effectiveness on other types of oral symptoms remain unclear. Little information comparing the different types of CBTs in th…
Psychosomatic problems in dentistry
Many dental patients complain of oral symptoms after dental treatment, such as chronic pain or occlusal discomfort, for which the cause remains undetermined. These symptoms are often thought to be mental or emotional in origin, and patients are considered to have an "oral psychosomatic disorder". Representative medically unexplained oral symptoms/syndromes (MUOS) include burning mouth syndrome, atypical odontalgia, phantom bite syndrome, oral cen…
Oral cenesthopathy
Cenesthopathy is characterized by abnormal and strange bodily sensations and is classified as a 'delusional disorder, somatic type' or 'somatoform disorder' according to the DSM 5. The oral cavity is one of the frequent sites of cenesthopathy, thus the term 'oral cenesthopathy.' Patients with oral cenesthopathy complain of unusual sensations without corresponding abnormal findings in the oral area, such as excessive mucus secretion, a slimy sensa…
