Oral mucositis. Is it present in the immunotherapy of the immune checkpoint pd1/pd-l1 against oral cancer? A systematic review
2020
Background Oral mucositis (OM) is a painful lesion that takes place in the mucosa of the oral cavity, usually its etiology is associated with drug therapies in cancer patients. It is presented as well-defined ulcers whose painful symptomatology sometimes implies the suspension of oncological treatment or parenteral feeding, being therefore an important adverse effect, marking the evolution of these types of therapies against cancer. The present work aim is to know the prevalence of oral mucositis in oral cancer immunotherapy compared to its prevalence in standard therapy. Material and Methods A protocol was developed for a systematic review following PRISMA® guidelines and a focused questio…
Comparative evaluation of the effect of Er:YAG laser and low level laser irradiation combined with CPP-ACPF cream on treatment of enamel caries
2013
Objectives: This study investigated the effectiveness of low power red and infrared lasers and that of Er:YAG laser, in association with CPP-ACPF cream, on remineralization of white spot lesions. Study Design: Fifty intact premolars were immersed in a demineralization solution for 10 weeks to induce caries like lesions and then were divided into five groups. In group 1, the teeth were covered with a CPP-ACPF cream for 3 minutes and then irradiated with a low power red laser (660 nm, 200 mW) for 1 minute through the cream. In group 2, the treatment was the same as that in group 1, but an infrared laser (810 nm, 200 mW) was employed. The specimens in group 3 were irradiated with an Er:YAG las…
Oral Infections and the Risk of Mortality in the Iron Age
2008
Medically unattended oral abscesses may spread to their surrounding area or even throught the entire body. Depending on the individual`s constitution, such processes may lead to a life-threatening situation or death. (Pre)historic case studies deliver more information about distribution and adverse effects of oral infections and the risk of mortality. In this particular case report an iron aged skeleton of a 35- to 45-year-old woman from Eulau (Naumburg/ Saale, Germany) shows multiple periapical lesions and their effects on the viscerocranium. Furthermore, alterations on the long bones can be associated with chronic inflammation processes.
Swelling of the mandibular alveolar mucosa
2022
Una donna di 30 anni si presenta all’osservazione degli autori presso il Settore di Medicina Orale (Università degli Studi di Palermo) per la comparsa di una neoformazione gengivale a livello del V sestante. In anamnesi patologica remota non risultano patologie sistemiche attuali o pregresse, la paziente è in apparenti buone condizioni di salute, riferisce di non assumere farmaci e non ha subito in passato interventi chirurgici. La paziente, non fumatrice, non riferisce dolore nella sede interessata ma progressivo accrescimento della lesione. All’esame obiettivo extra-orale non si apprezzano linfoadenopatie latero-cervicali o altre anomalie. All’esame obiettivo intra-orale si rileva una neo…
le cas de l'université de Bourgogne
2017
International audience; Dans le cadre des réflexions sur le développement des centres de soutien à l'enseignement, cette communication s'intéresse aux relations administratives entre les équipes pédagogiques et un tel centre (le CIPE à l'université de Bourgogne) durant les évaluations obligatoires et systématiques d'EEE qui relèvent de ses missions. L'objectif est d'étudier les résultats de l'EEE au regard des relations administratives en intégrant des informations sur les équipes pédagogiques concernées et la nature du dispositif d'EEE choisi par elles. Plus précisément, cette étude est née d'une conception des personnels du CIPE selon laquelle lorsque des difficultés administratives exist…
Depth determination of skin cancers treated with superficial brachytherapy: ultrasound vs. histopathology
2014
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare high frequency ultrasonography (HFUS) and histpathologic assessment done by punch biopsy in order to determine depth of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), in both superficial and nodular BCCs prior to brachytherapy treatment. Material and methods: This study includes 20 patients with 10 superficial and 10 nodular BCCs. First, punch biopsy was done to confirm the diagnosis and to measure tumour depth (Breslow rate). Subsequently, HFUS was done to measure tumour depth to search for correlation of these two techniques. Results: Neither clear tendency nor significance of the punch biopsy vs. HFUS depth determination is observed. Depth value differences …
Comparison of diagnostic accuracy between periapical and panoramic radiographs and cone beam computed tomography in measuring the periapical area of …
2019
Background The aim of the study was compare the sensitivity and measurements obtained from teeth with apical lesions scheduled for periapical surgery using three different diagnostic methods: periapical radiography (Gendex Expert DC), panoramic radiography (Planmeca® Promax 3D Classic) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) (Planmeca® Promax 3D Classic). Material and methods This cross-sectional study involved 35 patients (45 teeth) scheduled for periapical surgery in which periapical radiographs, panoramic radiographs and CBCT scans had been obtained. The images were used to analyze the maximum vertical and horizontal dimension and the resulting areas of the periapical lesions based on t…

A retrospective cohort study which included 91 children and adolescents patients who were treated for maxillofacial fractures during a period of three years between January 2019 and December 2021 at a tertiary hospital in Jordan. Over a period of three years, a total of 91 children between the age of 0 and 19 years were treated with 156 total maxillofacial fractures. Of these, 68 (74.73%) were males and 23 (25.27%) were females. One tenth of patients (10 (10.99%) were children of the preschool group and 55 patients (60.44%) we…
