Oral manifestations of Type I Neurofibromatosis in a family
2011
Neurofibroma is a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor. It is one of the most frequent tumors of neural origin and its presence is one of the clinical criteria for the diagnosis of neurofibromatosis type I (NF-I). Neurofibromatosis type I is an autosomal dominantly inherited disease due to an alteration in the long arm of chromosome 17. About 50% of NF-I patients have no family history of the disease. NF-I patients have skin lesions (café au lait spots and neurofibromas) as well as bone malformations and central nervous system tumors. Diagnosis is based on a series of clinical criteria. NF-I presents with certain definite oral manifestations which confers to the dentists a major responsibil…
Non-invasive diagnostic tools in early detection of oral epithelial dysplasia
2011
Objective: The incidence of oral cancer worldwide varies 2-18% and in India 0.1 to 13.5%. Early evaluation of oral precancerous lesions can have dramatic effect on oral cancer mortality rate. Among the premalignant stage, leukoplakia is the most commonly encountered clinical lesion and epithelial dysplasia is most important predictive factor. The objective of this paper is to compare the efficacy of exfoliative cytology, toluidine blue and chemiluminescent illumination (VIZILITE) to detect early dysplastic changes in leukoplakia. Study design: Study involved 50 patients of leukoplakia (homogeneous, speckled) in the age group of 20-72 years including males and females in the ratio of 7:3. Al…
