Topic tacrolimus, alternative treatment for oral erosive lichen planus resistant to steroids : a case report
2006
The lichen planus is a mucocutaneous disease with unknown etiology and auto-immune pathogenia. There have been three variants of lichen planus: the reticular, the plaque-like and the atrophic-erosive lesions. It?s a chronic disease with acute relapses that generally affects more frecuently to women from the fourties. The diagnostic is based on the clinic identification of the lesions joined with the histopathologic study (basal cells hidropic degeneration, linfoplasmocitic infiltration and absence of displasy signs). The great number of therapeutic options are explained for its high prevalency (0.5-2%), its recurrence and its risk for malignant transformation. We present a case of oral eros…
Osteonecrosis maxilar y bisfosfonatos: presentación de tres nuevos casos
2006
Los bisfosfonatos están adquiriendo una relevancia terapéutica cada vez mayor, dada su utilidad en el manejo de diversas patologías. Con el incremento de su uso, se están documentando casos de necrosis ósea mandibular, y en menor medida maxilar, de difícil solución y con una importante afectación de la calidad de vida de los pacientes en tratamiento con estos fármacos. El factor que con mayor frecuencia desencadena el proceso es la actuación de los profesionales: odontólogos, estomatólogos y cirujanos orales y maxilofaciales. La previsión, las intervenciones atraumáticas y el tratamiento conservador, parecen ser los medios más adecuados para minimizar la incidencia o resolver las complicaci…
Osteonecrosis of the jaws and bisphosphonates : Report of three cases
2006
Bisphosphonates are recently acquiring increasing relevance in the treatment of several diseases. In line with the increased use of these compounds, cases of mandibular osteonecrosis, and to a lesser extent, maxillary osteonecrosis, are being reported. This necrosis is difficult to treat in patients who usually have a previously limited quality of life. A surgical performance carried out by oral and maxillofacial surgeons, stomatologists and odontologists might lead to bone exposure. A treatment based on conservation and as harmless as possible seems to be the most advisable way of acting with these patients in order to minimize the incidence and treat the complications, once the lesions ha…
