Tongue Crenation (Scalloped Tongue) – Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Multifunctional organ like tongue is an important indicator of underlying systemic diseases. However, sometimes under physiological influences, the tongue alters in its shape and size and appears clinically same as it appears under pathological state. An elderly male patient reported for replacement of missing natural teeth. Medical, dental, drug and psychosocial history were insignificant. The tongue had multiple indentations that conformed to the pattern of the surrounding teeth. A cast partial denture was indicated for both maxillary and mandibular arch. Factors leading to overgrowth of the tongue under physiological influences are discussed.
