Tonsillolith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Protruding tonsilloliths have the feel of a foreign object, lodged between the outside of wisdom teeth and the temporomandibular joint region of the fleshed jaw. Tonsilloliths or tonsil stones are calcifications that form in the crypts of the palatal tonsils. Tonsilloliths are difficult to diagnose in the absence of clear manifestations, and often constitute casual findings of routine radiological studies. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Tonsillolith   (807 words)

Article : Images- Tonsillolith ; Author : SHETTY D ; Co-Author(s) : LAKHKAR B, SHETTY CM ; Vol / Issue : 11 No.01 Feb ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) Tonsilloliths are concretions of varying size and consistency which can occur within the substance of the tonsil or from around it [1]. The tonsilloliths derive their phosphate and carbonate of lime and magnesia from saliva secreted by the three major and about 400 to 500 minor salivary glands [3]. Differential diagnosis of tonsilloliths includes foreign body, calcified granuloma, malignancy, an enlarged styloid process or rarely, isolated bone which is usually derived from embryonic rests originating from the brachial arches [2]. www.ijri.org /articles/archives/20011101/images03.htm   (422 words)

Britain.tv Wikipedia - Tonsillitis Patients whose tonsils have been removed are certainly still protected from infection by the rest of their immune system. When bacteria that collects on the tonsils consume mucus that has pooled in pits (referred to as "crypts") in the tonsils, a whitish-yellow deposit known as a tonsillolith is produced. Tonsilloliths (or tonsil stones) which occur in the crypts of the tonsils can only be completely cured by tonsillectomy or by resurfacing the tonsil by laser, but practicing good oral hygeine and use of a water-pick may help lessen the symptoms. www.britain.tv /wikipedia.php?title=Tonsillitis   (739 words)

Tonsils   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) People who cough up these stones and then smell them are sure that their breath smells as bad as these stones, this is usually not the case. Tonsilloliths can be alleviated by a medical treatment known as laser cryptolysis, in which the crypts are lased. Tonsilloliths are not associated with any serious medical problems, however, if you are concerned about them, you should speak to a qualified physician. www.sleepdisordersdentistry.com /tonsils.htm   (198 words)

YourArt.com >> Encyclopedia >> tonsil   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) In particular, sufferers of chronic sinusitis or post-nasal drip frequently suffer from these overgrowths of bacteria in the tonsilar crypts. These small whitish plugs, termed "tonsilloliths" and sometimes known as "tonsil stones," have a foul smell and can contribute to bad breath; furthermore, they can obstruct the normal flow of pus from the crypts, and may irritate the throat (people with tonsil stones may complain of the feeling that something is stuck in their throat). The pathogenesis of infectious/inflammatory disease in the tonsils most likely has its basis in their anatomic location and their inherent function as organ of immunity, processing infectious material, and other antigens and then becoming, paradoxically, a focus of infection/inflammation. www.yourart.com /research/encyclopedia.cgi?subject=/tonsil   (1625 words)

Bad Breath Research - Questions Rather, having smelly tonsilloliths often causes people to spend years, wrongly assuming that they must have bad breath. In any case, tonsilloliths can be alleviated by a medical treatment known as laser cryptolysis, in which the crypts are lased. However, since in many cases the tonsilloliths themselves do not necessarily constitute a medical problem, I am not convinced that everyone with tonsilloliths needs to undergo this procedure. www.tau.ac.il /~melros/faq/32.html   (212 words)

catarrh In a survey of patients and general practitioners, over 80% felt it was due to "frequently feeling the need to swallow nasal secretions". Other symptoms associated with catarrh include: snoring, sleep apnoea, bad breath, tonsilloliths, sore throats, tonsillitis, dry cough, choking attacks, blocked nose, thick nose secretions, sneezing, allergy, rhinitis, headache, facial pain, loss of smell, nausea and lethargy. If untreated, catarrh can persist for many years, and may be the cause of considerable distress, both to the sufferer and those around them. www.catarrh.com /catarrh.html   (406 words)

Tonsillolith definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms These stones, called tonsilloliths, are found within little pockets (crypts) in the tonsils that typically form in chronic recurrent tonsillitis and harbor bacteria. When crushed, they give off the characteristic rotten egg smell which is well known to cause bad breath. Tonsilloliths may also give the sense of something being caught in the back of the throat. www.medterms.com /script/main/art.asp?articlekey=7468   (130 words)

ENT: Mysterious white stuff on tonsils   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) The white exudate you're referring to is called a tonsillolith, or calculus of the tonsil. Typically it presents with gritty particles trapped in the crypts of tonsils and is often referred to under the clinical entity of "chronic cryptic tonsillitis." There's often associated halitosis. Many patients will disimpact the tonsilloliths themselves while looking in a mirror. www.parkhurstexchange.com /qa/A.php?q=/qa/ENT/2001-10-07.qa   (154 words)

Halatosis lumps - Gross, I know... - HealthBoards Bulletin Board Also, as one article said, "because people often squeeze the stones between their fingers and become horrified by the smell, tonsilloliths may lead to halitophobia." It seems that just because you have tonsilloliths, that doesn't mean your breath smells the same way the tonsilloliths do! Be wary of "halitophobia." You probably don't have breath that smells nearly as bad as a squished up tonsillolith. Finally, "laser cryptolysis" is the name of the procedure that seals tonsil crypts so that tonsillolith can't form in them. www.healthboards.com /ubb/Forum126/HTML/003022.html   (794 words)

Tonsil Stones However they can be annoying (who wants to cough one up when they are kissing someone!), and sometimes they are an indication that you have bad breath. What was not understood then was that their sole purpose is really to prevent organisms and bacteria from traveling deeper in the throat. Tonsilloliths are not something that you have to live with - there are various treatments to get rid of them, without having your tonsils removed (which can be dangerous as people get older). www.tonsilstones.com   (440 words)

More info on - tonsilloliths pictures A tonsillolith (or tonsil stone) is a ball-like accumulation of food particles, bacteria, leukocytes, Dead white cells, and dried mucus in the folds of tonsils. The balls of bacteria and their waste products are colored white or yellow, are often described as resembling cottage cheese or cauliflower, and have a very foul odor, especially when dislodged and broken.
