talon cusp is a rare developmental anomaly that occurs most commonly on the lingual side of the incisors. occurrence of the labial talon cusp is rare in the dental literature. till date only seven cases of isolated nonsyndromic labial talon cusps have been reported in the maxillary permanent dentition. however, a few cases of syndromic labial talon cusps and faciolingual talon cusps have been r...

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible relationship between the degree of inflammatory infiltration of salivary glands in Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and the different demographic, clinical and serological features of the disease. A quantitative assessment of the extension of the infiltrates was performed on histology samples from the labial salivary glands (LSG) of 82 patients with ...

this study focuses on one particular sound change common in conversational speech, in which coronal nasal consonants undergo place assimilation toward the following syllable- or word-initial labial consonants. f2 and f3 formant frequency measurements were taken from, and compared between words involving the sequences /vnb/ and /vmb/ across syllable boundary as well as word boundary in assimilat...

Sjögren syndrome is uncommon in children and occurs most often in association with autoimmune diseases (secondary Sjögren syndrome). We describe the clinical and biological features of a 7-year-old girl with primary Sjögren syndrome revealed by recurrent parotiditis. CASE REPORT A 7-year-old girl was referred for investigation of multiple episodes of parotid swelling since age 4 years, withou...

By using CsCl-density-gradient ultracentrifugation, two high-Mr mucin species were isolated from human whole saliva, having buoyant densities in 0.2 M-guanidinium chloride of approx. 1.56 g/ml (pool IA) and 1.48 g/ml (pool IIA). Analytical density-gradient centrifugation of submandibular, sublingual, labial and palatal saliva, followed by immunochemical analysis with anti-mucin monoclonal antib...

The synthesis of immunoglobulins by cells infiltrating the labial salivary glands has been studied by radioimmunoelectrophoresis in 20 patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and in 14 control patients with related disorders. The patients with SS were producing significantly greater quantities of IgG, IgM, and IgA. Synthesis of IgG and IgM correlated with the degree of lymphoid infiltration but n...
