Properties of polyetheretheretherketone (PEEK) implant abutments: A systematic review
The main objective of the present systematic review is to know the mechanical and functional properties of PEEK (polyetheretheretherketone) abutment and to find out if it is a potential substitute for titanium abutments.An electronic search was conducted in 5 databases: Medline (Pubmed), SciELO, Cochrane, Web of Science (WOS) and Google Scholar. Studies published from 2018 to 2020 and written in English were included. The protocol of this systematic review was registered in PROSPERO (ID 274834). Subsequently, data extraction and quality analysis were performed according to the modified CONSORT guidelines.Initially, a total of 976 articles were obtained. Using Mendeley Desktop, duplicates we…
Pénfigo vulgar: Presentación de catorce casos y revisión de la literatura
El pénfigo vulgar (PV) es una enfermedad mucocutánea crónica de tipo vesículo-ampollares que casi siempre produce manifestaciones orales. El hecho de que en ocasiones sean las ampollas en la mucosa oral la primera manifestación de este desorden implica que los odontólogos deben conocer suficientemente las claves clínicas con el fin de realizar un diagnóstico y tratamiento precoces. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar una serie de 14 casos diagnosticados clínica e histopatológicamente de PV, que acudieron a la consulta de la Unidad Docente de Medicina Bucal de la Universidad de Murcia entre 1981 y 2001. Se realizó un estudio completo de estos pacientes, valorando la edad y el sexo, loca…
Comparison of pain and swelling after removal of oral leukoplakia with CO2 laser and cold knife: a randomized clinical trial
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare conventional surgery with carbon dioxide (CO2) laser in patients with oral leukoplakia, and to evaluate the postoperative pain and swelling. Study design: A total of 48 patients (27 males and 21 females) with a mean age of 53.7 ± 11.7 years and diagnosed with oral leukoplakia were randomly assigned to receive treatment either with conventional surgery using a cold knife or with a CO2 laser technique. A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to score pain and swelling at different postoperative time points. Results: Pain and swelling reported by the patients was greater with the conventional cold knife than with the CO2 laser, statistically signifi…
Closure of oroantral communications with Bichat's buccal fat pad. Level of patient satisfaction
Purpose: To report the closure of oroantral communications with the pedicled buccal fat pad in a series of patients, and to determine the level of patient satisfaction after the surgery. Study Design: A prospective study of patients diagnosed of unilateral or bilateral oroantral communication (OAC) closed using the buccal fat pad between May 2012 and January 2013 was performed. Data analysis extended to: age, sex, and cause, location and size of oroantral communication. Complications and success related to buccal fat pad surgery were evaluated. Also, patient satisfaction was assessed after six months of surgery. Results: Nine patients (3 men and 6 women) with a mean age of 50.5 years and 11…
Analysis of the histopathological artifacts in punch biopsies of the normal oral mucosa
Objectives: To study the most frequent artifacts of punch biopsies of the healthy oral mucosa, distinguishing between those attributable to the surgical technique and those resulting from sample processing in the laboratory. Study design: A total of 186 samples of oral mucosa (dorsal lingual mucosa) were obtained from 186 adult albino rats by the experienced oral surgeons, evaluating the presence of artifacts attributable to the surgical technique (crush, splits, fragmentation, pseudocysts and haemorrhage) and those attributable to sample processing in the laboratory (orientation). Results: The distribution of artifacts attributable to the surgical procedure was as follows: crush 16.67%, sp…
Queilitis granulomatosa de Miescher: presentación de cinco casos
La queilitis granulomatosa de Miescher (QG), consiste en la aparición de edema labial recurrente en uno o ambos labios, el cual puede llegar a ser persistente. Ha sido considerada tradicionalmente, como una forma monosintomática del síndrome de Melkersson Rosenthal, descrito como la asociación de edema labial y/o facial recurrente, parálisis facial recidivante y lengua fisurada. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar una serie de 5 casos diagnosticados clínica e histopatológicamente de QG, que acudieron a la consulta de la Unidad Docente de Medicina Bucal de la Universidad de Murcia. Se realizó un estudio completo de estos pacientes, valoramos la edad y el sexo, antecedentes familiares, l…
Melanoma of the oral mucosa with cerebral metastasis: a clinical case
Summary Oral melanoma (OM) is an infrequent neoplasia making up less than 1% of all melanomas, and which exhibits a much more aggressive behaviour than those found on the skin. We present a case of OM located on the hard palate, vestibular alveolar gingiva of the maxilla, and upper lip in a 75-year-old patient who developed a distant metastasis on the left parietal lobe. The advanced stage of the disease contraindicated any surgical intervention and it was decided to carry out palliative radiotherapy, but the patient died before treatment.
