A combined treatment regimen for desquamative gingivitis in patients with oral lichen planus

2007

Background:  Chronic desquamative gingivitis (DG) is a condition characterized by erythema, ulceration, and desquamation of the free and attached gingiva, usually expression of a district-systemic disease, such as oral lichen planus (OLP). Methods:  A combined protocol of oral hygiene and topic corticosteroid therapy was applied in 30 patients with DG associated with OLP. Plaque index (PI) and bleeding on probing (BoP) were evaluated at baseline and after 3 months. Results:  PI scoring was significantly lower after treatment in anterior, posterior, and all sites (P < 0.0001) as well as in vestibular and lingual ones (P < 0.0001 and P = 0.0001, respectively). BoP measures were found to be re…

Diagnostic Pathways and Clinical Significance of Desquamative Gingivitis

2008

The term desquamative gingivitis (DG) refers to a clinical manifestation that can be caused by several disorders. Many of them are immunologically mediated; in addition to the oral cavity, they can affect extraoral mucocutaneous sites, e.g., larynx, conjunctiva, esophagus, nasal and genital mucosa, and the skin. The degree of oral, periodontal, and systemic involvement determines the overall morbidity and, sometimes, the mortality of these disorders. We comprehensively review disorders commonly associated with DG and highlight diagnostic pathways, guidelines for differential diagnosis, and oral, periodontal, and systemic implications. More rare conditions are reviewed as well. Mucous membra…

A numerical method for imaging of biological microstructures by VHF waves

2014

Imaging techniques give a fundamental support to medical diagnostics during the pathology discovery as well as for the characterization of bio-medical structures. The imaging methods involve electromagnetic waves in a frequency range that spans from some Hz to GHz and over. Most of these methods involve ionizing waves and scanning of a large human body area even if only a focused inspection is needed. In this paper, a numerical method to evaluate the shape of microstructures for application in the medical field, with a very low invasiveness for the human body, is proposed. In particular, the tooth’s root canal is considered. In fact, this is one of the hot topics in the endodontic procedure…

A tool in support of oral implantology

2009

Il brevetto si riferisce ad un dispositivo che trova applicazione nella tecnica “flap-less” in chirurgia impiantare (inserimento di impianti senza esecuzione di lembo chirurgico), tecnica meno invasiva e traumatica per il paziente; esso consente di: - eseguire in modo diretto e preciso la rilevazione del profilo osseo esterno del sito impiantare - determinare l’angolazione ottimale dell’asse di foratura - guidare l’operazione di fresatura secondo l’asse prescelto Il dispositivo, grazie alla sua adattabilità e modularità è utilizzabile per eseguire siti implantari sia singoli che multipli ed è adattabile a tutte le variabili anatomiche che si possono presentare, è inoltre sterilizzabile e qu…

Malattia parodontale e malattia cardiovascolare: correlazione o semplice coincidenza? Revisione della letteratura

2007

The present paper reviews relationship between chronic periodontitis and cardiovascular diseases. Original papers on this subject, published in English in the period between 2001 and the first semester 2006, were located in the MEDLINE/PubMed database. Additional studies were obtained by searching reference lists of previously published papers. Periodontal infection provides a chronic reservoir of inflammatory mediators and cytokines, lipopolysaccharide, which contribute to the formation of atheroma. Moreover, periodontal pathogens can penetrate the epithelial barrier of the periodontal tissues and reach the blood stream, carrying out a local atherogenic activity. Some studies indicated tha…
