Symptomatic Geographic Tongue In An Edentulous Patient With Hypersensitivity To Denture Base Resin
Journal Title: National Journal of Medical and Dental Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Geographic tongue is a commonly occurring painless inflammatory disorder that mainly affects dorsum of the tongue. The cause of geographic tongue is unknown, but a polygenic inheritance and the association with a number of other genetic or medical conditions have been suggested. Generally patients with geographic tongue are asymptomatic. In some cases sensitivity to denture base resins in patients with geographic tongue is reported. This report presents an edentulous patient with symptomatic geographic tongue. The patch test revealed that severe burning sensation over the tongue involving various parts of oral mucosa was due to hypersensitivity to Auto polymerizing acrylic resin.
