Letter to editor: support to the spanish language, from Oral Medicine
2017
Odontogenic myxoma (OM) is a benign intraosseous neoplasm that exhibits local aggressiveness and high recurrence rates. Osteoclastogenesis is an important phenomenon in the tumor growth of maxillary neoplasms. RANK (Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor κappa B) is the signaling receptor of RANK-L (Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand) that activates the osteoclasts. OPG (osteoprotegerin) is a decoy receptor for RANK-L that inhibits pro-osteoclastogenesis. The RANK / RANKL / OPG system participates in the regulation of osteolytic activity under normal conditions, and its alteration has been associated with greater bone destruction, and also with tumor growth.To analyze the imm…
Application of a capsaicin rinse in the treatment of burning mouth syndrome
2010
Objective: To examine the efficacy of a new topical capsaicin presentation as an oral rinse in improving the symptoms of burning mouth syndrome (BMS). Study design: A prospective, double-blind, cross-over study was made of 30 patients with BMS. There were 7 dropouts; the final study series thus comprised 23 individuals. The patients were randomized to two groups: (A) capsaicin rinse (0.02%) or (B) placebo rinse, administered during one week. After a one-week washout period, the patients were then assigned to the opposite group. Burning discomfort was scored using a visual analog scale (VAS): in the morning before starting the treatment, in the afternoon on the first day of treatment, and at…
Efect of periodontal disease and non surgical periodontal treatment on C-reactive protein. Evaluation of type 1 diabetic patients
2011
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze how anti-infectious periodontal treatment affects C reactive protein (CRP) values in patients with type 1 diabetes, and correlate baseline CRP levels with periodontal disease severity. Study Design: A cohort of fifty three subjects with type 1 diabetes and moderate to severe periodontitis were recruited. Periodontal parameters were measured, and blood samples were obtained to evaluate high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). Group 1 was treated with scaling, root planning, and systemic administration of doxycycline. Group 2 received only scaling and root planning. Results: Hs-CRP was reduced after periodontal treatment in group 1 (-0…
Stimulated and unstimulated saliva samples have significantly different bacterial profiles
2018
Epidemiological studies use saliva on a regular basis as a non-invasive and easy-to-take sample, which is assumed to be a microbial representative of the oral cavity ecosystem. However, comparative studies between different kinds of saliva samples normally used in microbial studies are scarce. The aim of the current study was to compare oral microbiota composition between two different saliva samples collected simultaneously: non-stimulated saliva with paper points and stimulated saliva collected after chewing paraffin gum. DNA was extracted from saliva samples of ten individuals, then analyzed by 16S rRNA pyrosequencing to describe bacterial diversity. The results demonstrate significant d…
Efectividad de dos intervenciones de higiene oral en la escuela.
2003
La llave para conseguir mejorar la salus oral de la población esta en implementar programas de promoción y prevención de salud oral y, en lo que a niños se refiere, la escuela es el lugar idóneo para ello. Dichos programas han de ir encaminados a lograr cambios de actitudes y habilidades favorables encuanto a autocuidados. Conocemos que la complejidad en la információn y en la estructura del programa, no mejora los resultados en salud. El objetivo de este trabajo es comparar la eficacia de dos intervenciones de educación para la salud comunitaria, encaminada a mejoraarel nivel de higiene oral y analizar que área de la cavidad oral cepillan mejor los participantes en el estudio utilizando co…
Aesthetic assessment of the effect of gingival exposure in the smile of patients with unilateral and bilateral maxillary incisor agenesis.
2014
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the dental esthetic perception of the smile of patients with maxillary lateral incisor agenesis (MLIA); the perceptions were examined pre- and post-treatment. Esthetic determinations were made with regard to the gingival exposure in the patients¿ smile by orthodontists, general dentists, and laypersons. Materials and Methods: Three hundred eighty one people (80 orthodontists, 181 general dentists, 120 laypersons) rated the attractiveness of the smile in four cases before and after treatment, comprising two cases with unilateral MLIA and contralateral microdontia and two with bilateral MLIA. For each case, the buccal photograph was adjusted usi…
Psychosocial impact of malocclusion in Spanish adolescents
2013
Objective: To evaluate the psychosocial impact of malocclusion, determine its relationship with the severity of malocclusion, and assess the influence of gender and social class on this relationship in adolescents. Methods: A random sample of 627 Spanish adolescents aged 12 - 15 years underwent intraoral examinations by 3 calibrated examiners (intraexaminer and interexaminer kappa > 0.85) at their schools. Psychosocial impact was measured through a self-rated Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ). The severity of malocclusion was measured by the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN). Gender and social class were also recorded. Results: The total PIDAQ score and…
Documento de consenso sobre el tratamiento antimicrobiano de las infecciones bacterianas odontogénicas
2005
Las infecciones de la cavidad bucal son un problema de salud pública frecuente y motivo constante de prescripción antibiótica; el 10% de los antibióticos se emplean para tratar este problema. Sin embargo, hasta la fecha son pocos los estudios realizados para determinar su incidencia. Asímismo, su relación con ciertas enfermedades sistémicas (cardiacas, endocrinas, etc...) confiere a estas patologías una importancia vital. A pesar de la reconocida frecuencia e importancia de las infecciones odontogénicas, llama la atención la actual dispersión de criterio en varios aspectos referentes a su clasificación, terminología y recomendaciones terapéuticas. El objetivo principal de este documento, re…
Oral cancer risk and molecular markers
2004
El aspecto clínico y en especial el grado de displasia que pueden presentar las lesiones precancerosas de la cavidad oral sugieren su capacidad potencial de malignización. Cada vez es más frecuente encontrar investigaciones orientadas hacia la búsqueda de nuevos marcadores, más específicos, que contribuyan a determinar el grado de alteración celular y permitan una mayor aproximación al conocimiento del grado de degeneración maligna de aquellas lesiones. En el presente trabajo de revisión se repasan los conceptos más actuales de estos marcadores, agrupados por familias: marcadores de crecimiento tumoral; marcadores de supresión tumoral y de respuesta antitumoral; marcadores de angiogénesis; …
La periodontitis como factor de riesgo en los pacientes con cardiopatía isquémica
2004
La patología cardiovascular y en especial la cardiopatía isquémica (CI) se encuentran entre las principales causas de muerte en el mundo occidental. Recientemente se ha incrementado el interés en investigar la relación entre la cardiopatía isquémica y diversas patologías infecciosas como desencadenantes de la misma, como se ha observado con la Clamydia pneumoniae y el Helicobacter pylori. La periodontitis también se ha relacionado con el incremento de riesgo de aparición de enfermedad coronaria, debido a que ambas patologías presentan algunas características comunes como la edad, el sexo y el hábito tabáquico entre otras. Existen muchas similitudes entre la patología vascular inducida por b…
