$Sj{\ddot{o}}gren's$ syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by an autoimmune exocrinopathy involving mainly salivary and lacrimal glands. Apart from manifestations due to involvement of exocrine glands, patients with SS can present with muscular and neurological manifestations. Here, we report a rare case of a 59-year-old woman with primary SS, who presented with severe general toothache and masticatory muscle myalgia successfully treated with clonazepam. Although it was not certain that these symptoms could be originated from focal muscle dystonia or neurological changes that are associated with primary SS, our case suggested that comprehensive evaluation including neuromuscular examinations in the oral and maxillofacial area is needed in patients with SS.

Background: Regardless of countries, the myth that rain makes the body ache has been worded in various forms, and a number of studies have been reported to investigate this. However, these studies, which depended on the patient's experience or memory, had obvious limitations. Google Trends is a big data analysis service based on search terms and viewing videos provided by Google LLC, and attempts to use it in various fields are continuing. In this study, we endeavored to introduce the 'value as a research tool' of the Google Trends, that has emerged along with technological advancements, through research on 'whether toothaches really occur frequently on rainy days'. Methods: Keywords were selected as objectively as possible by applying web crawling and text mining techniques, and the keyword "bi" meaning rain in Korean was added to verify the reliability of Google Trends data. The correlation was statistically analyzed using precipitation and temperature data provided by the Korea Meteorological Agency and daily search volume data provided by Google Trends. Results: Keywords "chi-gwa", "chi-tong", and "chung-chi" were selected, which in Korean mean 'dental clinic', 'toothache', and 'tooth decay' respectively. A significant correlation was found between the amount of precipitation and the search volume of tooth decay. No correlation was found between precipitation and other keywords or other combinations. It was natural that a very significant correlation was found between the amount of precipitation, temperature, and the search volume of "bi". Conclusion: Rain seems to actually be a cause of toothache, and if objective keyword selection is premised, Google Trends is considered to be very useful as a research tool in the future.

Burkitt's lymphoma is a malignant monoclonal proliferation of early B-lymphocyte. Since Burkitt's lymphoma is a highly aggressive disease, early detection is a crucial. This disease often involves jaw and mandibular mass or swelling may also be seen, but in the early phase of Burkitt's lymphoma these symptoms cannot be observed. A rare case of Burkitt's lymphoma without any mandibular mass and the general symptoms was present. The excruciating toothache led the patient to visit the dental clinic and misdiagnosis of chronic periodontal abscess was made initially. Dentists should consider the oral manifestations of systemic disease when the multiple periodontal ligament space widening is observed and the dental treatment for mimicking odontogenic pain has no effect.

Many teeth have been mistakenly extracted or endodontically treated because of an incorrect diagnosis of orofacial pain including toothache, A case report of persistent toothache originating from a malignant lymphoma of left maxilary sinus is presented. Root canal therapy and extraction of left upper quadrant teeth from canine to second molar did not resolve the chief complaint. The patient was referred to a neurologist and was diagnosed with a malignant lymphoma, a rare lesion of the maxillary sinus. The case stresses the importance of malignant neoplasms of maxillary sinus as a potential etiologic factor in the differential diagnosis of orofacial pain.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between depressive symptoms and oral health status in Korean middle-aged women. Methods: We analyzed data from the sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VI). The final sample consisted of 2,691 adults aged 40-64 years. The Chi-squared test was used to assess the rate of depressive symptoms, oral health status, and relationship between oral health status and depressive symptoms. Moreover, logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between depressive symptoms and oral health status. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 program. Results: Overall, 15.1% of subjects experienced depressive symptoms. The rate of depressive symptoms in self-aware oral health, toothache, and mastication problem groups were 19.6%, 19.9%, and 25.3%, respectively. Compared to other groups, the likelihood (odds ratio) of having depressive symptoms was 1.47 (95% confidence interval [CI] : 1.16-1.88), 1.58 (95% CI: 1.22-2.04), and 1.73 (95% CI: 1.32-2.28) higher in self-aware bad oral health, toothache, and mastication problem groups, respectively. Conclusions: We found an association between depressive symptoms and oral health status. Thus, oral health status should be evaluated as a potential risk factor for depressive symptoms.
