Modern urban areas have recently become increasingly polluted. Heavy metals are one group of industrial pollutants which have no biological functions and accumulate in various parts of human bodies. The principal hypothesis of this study was that the pollution of the environment by certain heavy metals, that is, lead, cadmium, nickel and mercury, caused long-lasting changes in teeth, through deposition in dental hard tissues. Therefore, the aim was to compare their concentration in saliva, dental calculus and teeth extracted from inhabitants of Pancevo and Belgrade belonging to 5 age groups.

Abstract

This report presents a case of a psychiatric patient with scurvy. Upon the clinical examination of the oral cavity, dry and pale lips were noted. Gingiva was highly edematous, soft, purple blue with ulcerated margins. Bleeding was noted upon slightest provocation. Teeth were also affected by the vitamin C deficiency with multiple caries. The patient was asthenic and adynamic. Petechial bleeding and hematomas were present on the skin of extremities. Therapy consisted of rehydration and vitamin C compensation - 2 g daily i.v. during 10 days period, and 1.5 g daily orally during the following 2 months. The patient maintained only partial plaque control, and complete recovery of the oral cavity was not established because the patient didn't comply. Concerning that scurvy is a rare disease nowadays, it is very important to recognize its clinical signs, and to establish a valid and prompt diagnosis, because, when untreated, scurvy can have severe consequences on the entire organism.
