Comparation of the eutectic mixture of lidocaine/prilocain versus benzocaine gel in children
2011
Objective: To compare the anesthetic effect of a non commercial eutectic mixture of 4% lidocaine/ prilocaine (PLO 4%) and 20% benzocaine gel (Hur- ricaine®), as topical anesthetic, prior to inferior al- veolar nerve block and buccal infiltration anesthesia in 5 - 12 year old children. Study design: Infiltrative anesthesia was applied in 50 children, divided in two groups (n = 25) using PLO 4% and Hurricaine® as topical anesthesia prior to infiltration. Physical reac- tions were registered using the Sound-Eyes- Motor Scale. Physiological changes expressed by ar- terial pressure and heart rate. Subjective pain re- sponse was scored on a Facial Image Scale. Physical physiological and subjectiv…
Stafne's bone cavity: An unusual case with involvement of the buccal and lingual mandibular plates
2014
Lingual mandibular bone defects, also known as Stafne bone cavity (SC), are unilateral asymptomatic radiolucencies, generally seen in the mandibular angle, below the inferior alveolar canal. Although panoramic radiographies normally offer enough information to make a correct diagnosis, additional studies are often required, especially in atypical cases. The present report describes an atypical presentation of a Stafne’s bone cavity in a 78 years-old male patient. In this particular case, an asymptomatic and radiolucid lesion was observed during a routine dental examination. The computed tomography (CT) showed an involvement of both lingual and buccal mandibular plates producing a tunnel-lik…
The histology and immunohistochemistry of free buccal mucosa and full-skin grafts after exposure to urine
1999
Objective To investigate the histological and immunohistochemical behaviour of free buccal mucosa and full-skin grafts after exposure to urine. Materials and methods A buccal mucosal graft and a full-skin graft were freely transferred into the bladder of 12 minipigs, after stripping the bladder mucosa. Endoscopic investigations were carried out 2 and 5 months after surgery, and the grafts examined after death at 7 months, both histologically and immunohistochemically. Results Shrinkage of the full-skin graft was apparent endoscopically in five cases. Of the nine full-skin grafts, four showed severe inflammatory reactions, two necrosis and two ulcerations. Conversely, the 10 buccal mucosal g…
Microneedle-Based Delivery: An Overview of Current Applications and Trends
2020
Microneedle arrays (MNA) are considered as one of the most promising resources to achieve systemic effects by transdermal delivery of drugs. They are designed as a minimally invasive, painless system which can bypass the stratum corneum, overcoming the potential drawbacks of subcutaneous injections and other transdermal delivery systems such as chemical enhancers, nano and microparticles, or physical treatments. As a trendy field in pharmaceutical and biomedical research, its applications are constantly evolving, even though they are based on very well-established techniques. The number of molecules administered by MNA are also increasing, with insulin and vaccines administration being the …
