Synthesis Repertory – Mouth Chapter – A comparative Study

Dr Sudheera.A.P BHMS, MD(Hom)
Calicut. Kerala 

Repertorium homoeopathicum syntheticum was edited by Frederick schroyens.It was based on 6th edition of Kent’s Repertory.Its first edition was RADAR in the year 1987. RADAR was first developed as research project at University of Namur, Belgium under supervision of Jean Fichefet who is a professor of Maths. His sympathetic reaction after the homoeopathic cure of his son was the beginning of everything. The repertory contained 3712 medicines, from 390 sources. The addition of information in successive version of Synthesis has been stepwise.

A person’s general health and nutrition are reflected in the state of oral mucosa. Examination of mouth mau give some clue to the diagnosis of many diseases. Many of those clinical signs and symptoms are well represented in the MOUTH chapter of synthesis. Many remedies have been added with reference to “Tongue that does not lie” by Dr.Prakash Vakil. These additions corresponds to the clinical experience of Dr. Prakash Vakil(Bombay) who spent a greater part of his life confirming remedies by looking at the tongue. Only the remedies with this reference are the ones considered by “The Vakil Module”.

Like other chapters the subrubrics ar earranged in the following order

  • Side
  • Time
  • Modality
  • Extension
  • Localization
  • Type of pain (description of pain)

The ‘sides’ consists of these symptoms with any subrubrics they may have,
One side
Alternating sides
Right
Left

Time am., pm. Was replaced by the international time table ‘0 to 24 h as used in computer, airports etc.
Eg.:Mouth ,heat after noon 17 h:Hyper

Advantages by using international time table are;

Concise writing-(10 am- 3 pm. Becomes 10 to 15 h.)
Less ambiguous time schedule
Easier search possibilities for the programme

Important signs and symptoms we get in relation to mouth are: 
Tongue:

  • Ankyloglossia:Inability to protrude tongue fully
  • Infants – tongue tie(A congenitally short frenulum linguae)
  • Deviation to affected side
  • When carcinoma involves sides of tongue and floor of mouth
  • Hemiplegia
  • Lesion of hypoglossal nerve-associated with fasciculation of affected side
  • Large tongue(Macroglossia):prevent closure of lips and jaws, spacing of teeth and proclination of incisors
  • Acromegaly
  • Cretinism
  • Cavernous haemangioma
  • Neurofibromatosis
  • Myxoedema
  • Lymphangioma
  • Amyloidosis
  • Tremor:
  • Nervousness
  • Thyrotoxicosis
  • Delirium tremens
  • Parkinsonism

Colour of the tongue:

  • Pallor-Anaemia
  • Red:Acute alcoholic hepatitis
  • Black/ brown spots around mouth, circumoral pigmentation extending to baccal mucosa- Peutz- Jeghers Syndrome –Multiple hamartomatous polyps in small bowel and colon- in addison’s disease-risk for small bowel adenocarcinoma
  • Moistness of tongue: Some indication of the state of hydration of the body provided the patient is not a mouth breather
  • Dry brown tongue – later stages of severe illness-advanced uraemia – acute intestinal obstruction
  • Telangiectasia: Visible dilation of small cutaneous vessels
  • Haemorrhages on buccal mucosa:
  • Scurvy
  • A/c Leukemia
  • Thrombocytopenic purpura
  • Granuloma on gums: from ill filling dentures
  • Epulis :Any swelling arising in the gum of maxilla or mandible

Hypertrophy of gums: 

  • In Pregnancy
  • In those who was treated for long periods with phenytoin
  • Scurvy
  • Pyorrhea alveolaris:Pus can be sqeezed from gum
  • Chronic marginal gingivitis:Gums retracted
  • Bleeds easily
  • Loss their characteristic stippling
  • Furring on tongue in heavy smokers
  • Brown fur, black hairy tongue- fungal infection

Papillae:Generalised atrophy of papillae produce smooth or bald tongue
Vit- B 12 deficiency
Iron defi. Anaemia
Celiac disease
GIT disorders
Deficiency states esp. pellagra

Congenital fissuring:Pappillae are normal, but the surface is interrupted by numerous irregular , but more or less symmetrical folds which tend to run horizontally(Srotal Tongue)
This is of no pathological significance
Chronic superficial glossitis: Due to syphilis there with be fissuring of tongue.
Here areas of leucoplakia are separated by intervening smooth and scarred areas. No normal papillae to be seen and fissures run mainly in a longitudinal direction
Median rhomboid glossitis:A lozenge shaped area of loss of papillae and fissuring is seen in the midline anterior to the foramen caecum

Strawberry tongue: Bright red papillae standing out of a thick white fur. Later the white coat disappears leaving enlarged papillae on bright red surface. Usually in scarlet fever
Geographical tongue:Localized irregular red area of desquamated epithelium and filiform papillae surrounded by whitish yellow border. Pappilae change inn cidtribution and give the appearance of a map – Congenital Heart disesases, A/c gastric problems
In children with fever false geographical tongue
Ranula: Bluish white translucent swelling of variable size and due to blockage of duct of a mucus gland
Sublingual dermoid cyst:Round opaque swelling lying beneath mucosa either above or below the mylohoid. Due to sequestration of epidermal tissue. Beneath the skin along the embryological lines of fusion of the mouth

Buccal mucosa:
Koplik spots:Bluish white spots surrounded by red areola opposite the molar teeth
Irregular areas or dots of slate, gray or blue pigmentation are seen in addison’s disease
Ulcer on buccal mucosa- Behcet’s syndrome(associated with genital ulcers and arthritis, Chrohn’s disease
Leucoplakia:Whitish opaque areas of thickened epithelium.Premalignant lesion
Causes are 6 Ss + candidiasis
Smoking
Syphilis
Sepsis
Sharp edges of a tooth(C/c frictional irritation)
Spirits
Spices

The patient should be counseled to give up identified irritant, then early lesion may disappear after some months, but will return promptly if the old habits are resumed.
Hairy tongue:Keratinized layer fails to desquamate normally from the filiform papillae becomes greatly elongated to resemble a coating of hair. The hair may take on various colours due to the presence of chromogenic organism to produce brown or black hairy tongue.

Breath offensive:
Carious teeth
Infection/ ulceration of gums
Retention and decomposition of secretion in follicles of enlarged tonsils
Smell of acetone:Ketosis
Fishy/ammoniacal odour-Uraemia
Mousy odour- Hepatic failure
Putrid-suppurative condition of lung
Smell as that of apple blossom with a hint of stale feces:Bronchiectasis
Characteristic smell of paraldehyde and alcohol

Stomatitis:

  • General term applied to inflammatory erosive and ulcerative conditions widely affecting the mucus membrane which line the oral cavity
  • Many organisms are to be found in the oral cavity where under normal conditions, the majority are harmless to the individual

Certain factors which reduce harm are;
1)Regular desqammation and replacement of surface cells
2)Constant washing of the oral cavity by saliva sothat organisms are swallowed and destroyed in the stomach
3)The mild antibacterial activity of saliva
4)The health and integrity of the lining epithelium

Predisposing factors;

  1. Anaemia associated with vit B12, folic acid and iron deficiency, vit.C deficiency
  2. Factors affecting the health and efficiency of epithelium_recurrent ulceration or chronic candida albicans
  3. Reduced ability to deal with secondary infection- recurrent ulceration- usually in cyclical leucopenia, agranulocytosis,aplastic anaemia, hypogammaglobulinaemia
  4. Immune or autoimmune mechanism is believed to underlie a variety of conditions affecting the oral mucous membrane

Eg.:Pemphigus
Behcet’s syndrome(damage to submucosal vessels-thrombosis- deep penetrating ulcers 5)Certain chemicals
Mercurial vapour inhalation- Mercury poisoning-(Redness,swelling of gums,
loosening of teeth, necrosis of bone)
Chronic lead poisoning:Blue black line at the gingival margin due to decomposition of lead sulphide in the tissues

Particular types of stomatitis:
Aphthous stomatitis: The term applies to 3 specific entities

  1. Recurrent minor aphthous ulceration
  2. Recurrent major aphthous ulceration
  3. Herpetiform aphthous ulceration not caused by Herpes simplex virus

(Modern medicine- chlorhexidine gluconate mouth wash is used)
Herpes simplex infection:
Gingivostomatitis-infancy and childhood
Many small vesicles appear and rapidly break down to form small yellow ulcers with bright red margins
Febrile+swollen submandibular lymph nodes

Virus infection: Associated with chicken pox, herpes zoster, coxsackie virus
Monilial stomatitis
Angular stomatitis(Angular cheilosis): Moist infected and crusting cracks at the angle of mouth

  • Leak of saliva at the corner of the mouth and the moist skin becomes infected by candida and staphylococci
  • Children
  • Old patient: The face sags and wrinkles to produce a moist fold
  • Deepening of the crease at the angle of mouth tends to occur in the edentulous person, particularly when atrophy of the ridges under the dentures permits overclosure
  • Loss of canine eminence permits the angle of mouth to sag

Denotations:
Astringent-causing contraction of tissue
Blotches- pigmented or erythematous lesion
Cancrum-gangrenous ulcerativeinflammatory lesion
Cancrum oris(Noma):Gangrenous stomatitis:in poorly nourished children
Debilitated adults

In cats and dogs a/c inflammation of ext. ear and auditory canal
Aphthae-small ulcer on a mucus membrane
Lapping- to drink liquid by scooping with the tongue
Parched tongue- to roast slightly
Sordes –A dark brown or blackish crust like collection on the lips, teeth, gum of a person with dehydration associated with a chronic debilitating disease
Taste- pappy (Pap- a food of soft consistency, like that of bread crumbs soaked in milk or water
Phagedenic ulcer-rapidly spreading ulcer, attended by the formation of extensive sloughing( Ulcus Ambulans)
