We present a new arch-shaped intraoral Tongue Drive System (iTDS) designed to occupy the buccal shelf in the user's mouth. The new arch-shaped iTDS, which will be referred to as the iTDS-2, incorporates a system-on-a-chip (SoC) that amplifies and digitizes the raw magnetic sensor data and sends it wirelessly to an external TDS universal interface (TDS-UI) via an inductive coil or a planar inver...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a malignant salivary tumor that may arise in either major or minor salivary glands. Because of its frequent microscopic appearance resembling cross-sections of tubular structures (cylinders), it was previously referred to as “cylindroma.”. Clinically, adenoid cystic carcinoma is most common in the parotid gland, palate being the most common intraoral site.

Aim Distal metastases to oral cavity are very rare. Adenocarcinoma, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and squamous cell carcinoma are the most common metastatic tumours. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic relevance of metastatic renal cell carcinoma on tongue manifestations in large patient series. Methods A patient with distal RCC metastases to the tongue and neck lymph nodes as the f...

Lymphoepithelial carcinoma (LEC) of the tongue is a rare subtype squamous cell carcinoma. Histologically, it an undifferentiated with rich lymphocyte and plasma infiltration. The most common location for LEC in head neck salivary glands, oral cavity extremely rare. second case report lateral presented. In addition, review literature was performed, relationship between Epstein–Barr virus infecti...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of hypothyroidism with adjuvant treatment in oral tongue carcinoma patients treated primarily with surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review was carried out to analyze hypothyroidism incidence and its relation to adjuvant treatment (radiation/radio-chemotherapy) in oral tongue carcinoma after the primary surgical ...

The objective of the present study was to determine the 'stemness' characteristics of CD133+ cells (harvested from the squamous cell tongue carcinoma Tca-8113 cell line) in vitro and to observe the tumourigenicity of the CD133+ cells in the bodies of NOD/SCID mice. Single cells from the Tca-8113 cell line were observed for multiplication capacity in vitro. The suspending and pelletizing phenome...

Articulatory data have gained increasing interest in speech recognition with or without acoustic data. Electromagnetic articulograph (EMA) is one of the affordable, currently used techniques for tracking the movement of flesh points on articulators (e.g., tongue) during speech. Determining an optimal set of sensors is important for optimizing the clinical applications of EMA data, due to the in...

Intraoral piercing has increased in popularity in the last few years. This type of jewelry has been associated with periodontal and muco-gingival defects such as attachment loss and gingival recession. This case report described a 25-year-old female presented to the clinic of Periodontics at Witten/Herdecke University in Witten, Germany, with a tongue stud placed through the mid-dorsum of her t...

Carcinoma of the oral tongue is one of the most common sub sites of oral cancer. Comparative worldwide studies have reported its incidence to be much higher in India (Moore et al., 2000; Mishra and Meherotra, 2014). In Chennai, India, oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) represents 5% and 1.6% of incident cancers of all sites among males and females respectively as per the reports of pop...
