“…If the condition is misdiagnosed as a common TMJ arthralgia or osteoarthritis, the joint destruction continues. The functional prognosis of the joint depends on the degree of destruction at the time of the correct diagnosis and start of treatment [10]. Table 3 describes various diagnostic tests for TB and their advantages [2].…”

Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious granulomatous disease caused by the air-borne bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis and less frequently by other bacteria in the M. tuberculosis complex (Mycobacterium Bovis and Mycobacterium africanum). Tuberculous osteomyelitis of the condyle may present atypical clinical findings akin to temporomandibular joint arthritis or middle ear infections. A detailed clinical and radiographic examination aided by a histopathological and a microbiological diagnostic workup is the key to timely detection and administration of appropriate therapeutic regimens. A high degree of clinical suspicion is thus advocated in patients with such atypical presentations. We, hereby, are presenting a rare case of tuberculous osteomyelitis in a 15-year-old female child.

“…Dentre as infecções bacterianas, outras que merecem destaque são a tuberculose e a actinomicose. A tuberculose é uma infecção causada pelo Mycobacterium tuberculosis, com rara manifestação na cavidade oral (Souza, Lemos & Munerato, 2016;Ju et al, 2018). A actinomicose é uma doença causada pela bactéria do gênero Actinomyces spp (Bubbico et al, 2004,Valour et al, 2014, e pode apresentar manifestações orais caracterizadas clinicamente como uma infecção aguda, de rápida progressão ou como uma lesão crônica que se dissemina lentamente, com formação de fibrose (Granados, Ferrer, López & Rubio, 2000).…”

Objective: To evaluate the knowledge of dentistry students at the Federal University of Campina Grande about concepts about the main bacterial infections with oral and / or maxillofacial manifestations. Method: It was an observational, descriptive study, with quantitative and qualitative analysis whose sample was composed of 130 students from the 1st, 2nd, 9th and 10th periods. A questionnaire of 12 objective questions was used about: syphilis, tuberculosis, leprosy and actinomycosis. The results were subjected to Pearson's Chi-Square test. Results: Most participants were female (58%), aged between 18 and 33 years. Regarding the questions that characterized the etiologic agents of bacterial infections, a higher percentage of correct responses was observed in the 9th and 10th period group (p=0.002). When relating the characteristics of syphilis with their respective stages, it was observed that the percentage of error was only 6.15% of the total number of students, with no statistically significant difference (p=0.791) between the groups. In the analysis of possible oral manifestations of tuberculosis, it was observed that the percentage of error was 69.23% of the total number of students, with no statistically significant differences between groups (p=0.060). Most students stated that they acquired knowledge about these infections at the university (54.61%). A total of 63.07% self-assessed their knowledge on the subject as insufficient. Conclusion: Despite the contrary self-assessment, students showed satisfactory knowledge, mainly about the etiological agents of these diseases and about the stages of syphilis.

A case report of a tongue ulcer presented as the first sign of occult tuberculosis

Background Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infectious disease with considerable fatality, typically affecting the pulmonary system and, rarely, other body organs including the oral cavity. Due to the rarity of oral TB, it is frequently overlooked in differential diagnosis of oral lesions. Despite a declining trend in TB incidence in recent years, it is still a major public health problem with high contagiousness, thereby requiring the early diagnosis and prompt treatment. Case presentation A 57-year-old male patient presented with chief complaint of painful ulcer on tip of his tongue. He reported that the ulcer developed without any remarkable event such as mechanical trauma, vesicle formation or systemic illness. His past medical history revealed the TB over 40 years ago, which had reportedly healed after pharmacological treatments. As the ulceration persisted after topical steroid application and careful education about avoiding possible mechanical stimuli, biopsy was performed and histological finding showed typical findings of oral tuberculosis including intense granulomatous inflammatory features with small red rods of mycobacterial organisms as well as epithelioid cells and Langhans giant cells. After suitable antituberculosis treatments, oral tuberculosis ulcer was almost completely healed. We present a case of oral TB affecting tip of the tongue in a patient with a history of pulmonary TB and emphasize the understanding of intraoral manifestations for early diagnosis and prompt treatment of TB. Conclusions The present case represented the importance of understanding oral tuberculosis manifestations for dental clinicians who might be frequently the first health care professionals to encounter various oral lesions.
