Stainton Syndrome

Stainton-Froste syndrome is a rare disease that manifests itself in the form of multiple cysts on the teeth. This syndrome is named after Charles Stainton and William Frost, who described it in 1876.

Stainton-Frost syndrome is characterized by the presence of many cysts on the tooth enamel. These cysts can be small or large, and they can appear on different surfaces of the teeth. These cysts usually do not cause any symptoms, but in some cases they can cause discomfort and pain.

The causes of the syndrome are still unclear, but it is believed that it may be associated with genetic factors or disorders in the immune system. Treatment for the syndrome may include surgical removal of the cysts or the use of special materials to fill the cysts.

However, although Stainton-Frost syndrome is a rare condition, it can pose a serious problem for dental health and overall well-being. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of your teeth and contact your dentist if any symptoms appear.

Stainton's pellicle syndrome is a relatively rare oral disease that occurs when the immune system is compromised. It affects the salivary glands and is accompanied by profuse salivation at night. The pathogenesis of this disease has several stages of development associated with a violation of the microbiological composition of the oral cavity.

It is now considered proven that oral microorganisms play an important role in the development of the immune response and its disorders in response to pathogenic factors. A mutation was discovered that is associated with a congenital disease of this syndrome - an immunodeficiency state, the development of a viral infection (in particular, the Epstein-Barr virus). These factors lead to hypoxia of salivary gland cells, stimulation of nitric oxide synthesis and its excess. Excessive amounts of nitric oxide lead to disruption of vascular tone in the salivary glands, their atony and the fact that they cease to secrete the required volume of saliva. This disrupts the functioning of salivary
