Fissured tongue: A sign of tongue edema?

Medical Hypotheses, 2014
Fissured tongue (FT) is a condition frequently seen in the general population. Clinically, FT is characterized by grooves that vary in depth and are noted along the dorsal and/or dorsolateral aspects of the tongue. Furthermore, FT presents many enlarged, smooth filiform papillae and subepithelial inflammatory infiltration.

HLA alleles and fissured tongue

International Journal of Immunogenetics, 2010
SummaryThe aim of this study was to investigate the linkage between HLA and fissured tongue. Sixty‐ nine individuals with fissured tongue and 125 healthy volunteers were typed for HLA‐DRB1*. The results showed increased frequency of HLA‐DRB1*08 (P < 0.001), HLA‐DRB1*14 (P < 0.01), HLA‐DRB1*11 (P < 0.05) and HLA‐DRB1*16 (P < 0.05), while HLA‐

Familial study of fissured tongue

European Journal of Oral Sciences, 1988
Abstract – Clinical and genetic characteristics of histologically defined fissured tongue were examined in a familial study. Fifteen probands with fissured tongue and four probands with geographic tongue were selected from earlier studies. In addition, 12 probands. with tongue fissuring, but without changes of papillary structure, were included.

Changes in composition of whole saliva in patients with fissured tongue

European Journal of Oral Sciences, 1985
Abstract –Both resting and paraffin‐stimulated whole saliva were studied in 25 patients with fissured tongue and in their age and sex‐matched healthy controls. The groups did not differ in dental or periodontal health. No significant differences were found between the groups in the salivary secretion rate, pH and buffer capacity, or in the frequency of

A scanning electron microscopic study of fissured tongue

Journal of Oral Pathology and Medicine, 1986
In this study, scanning electron microscopy was used to describe the surface morphology of fissured tongue. Tissue samples from the anterior part of the tongue were taken from 15 patients with fissured tongue. The formalin‐fixed samples were processed routinely for scanning electron microscopy.

Haematological and immunological features of patients with fissured tongue syndrome

British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1987
Blood samples from 40 patients with fissured tongue syndrome (FTS) were examined, and the results were compared with those of 20 healthy control subjects. FTS was diagnosed when a) the patient had a fissured tongue with smooth-surfaced papillae (n = 25) or b) the patient had geographic tongue and some relatives had fissured tongue (n = 15).
