Painful oral aphthous-like lesions in patient with kidney cancer after target therapy and bisphosphonate administration: a case report of adverse dru…

2015

Aim. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting tu- mor angiogenesis and mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors (mTOR) are indicated for the management of several cancer types, as for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Oral ulcerations are reported as common adverse drug reactions of mTOR inhibitors and are currently classified as mTOR inhibitor associated stomatitis (mIAS). Interestingly, these lesions appear as aphthous-like stoma- titis rather than the mucositis seen with chemotherapy agent. Case report. A 49 years old male patient underwent to the left radical nephrectomy in May 2014 for clear RCC. From July to October 2014 he was treated with Pazopanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. In Dece…

Study of oral microbiota and diet as casual factors of Black Stains in the pediatric patient

2019

The aim of the following study is to identify and quantify microorganisms in the saliva of black stain patients using species-specific probes for Actinomyces israelii, Actinomyces naeslundii, Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus spp, as well as a universal probe for bacterial 16S rDNA, to obtain the figure of the total bacterial counts (for test and control group). This study represents a first phase of the research line on extrinsic tooth pigmentation on developmental age patients. Materials and methods. The selected sample is composed of 20 subjects aged between 2 and 15 years and in good general and oral health among the patients included in a dental examination trial at the Department…

PRELIMINARY ANALYSES FROM A HOSPITAL BASED STUDY ON 3154 WESTERN SICILIAN PATIENTS WITH ORAL MUCOSAL LESIONS

2010

Objectives: Diagnosis of the wide variety of lesions that occur in the oral cavity is an essential part of dental practice. The objective of this study was to explore the demographic and behavioural profiles of patients affected by oral cavity diseases on a wide spectrum. Methods: Demographic and behavioural data of 3154 patients with at least one oral cavity disease among those consecutively visited between 2004 and 2009 at the Unit of Oral Medicine, were recorded: gender, age, smoking status, alcohol consumption, drugs use. Analysis was restricted to the eleven more frequent oral cavity diseases. Firstly, Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) was applied as a descriptive tool to geometri…

Factitial pemphigus-like lesions

2007

The maxillofacial region is rarely subjected to self-inflicted conditions such as factitious disease. Nasal ulceration, facial emphysema, periorbital ecchymosis, mandibular subluxation, gingival and mucosal ulceration, dental and salivary gland pain and glossopharyngeal neuralgia have been reported as possible manifestations of factitious disease. We report a case of a young woman who presented with unilateral bullous and ulcerative oral and erythematous facial lesions that were initially diagnosed as pemphigus vulgaris but was later determined to be secondary to self-inflicted injuries. To the best of the authors? knowledge, this clinical scenario has not been previously reported in the co…

Tratamiento ortodóncico : estudio comparativo de selección de casos y calidad de terminación entre un máster universitario y la práctica privada

2011

INTRODUCCIÓN El propósito del presente trabajo sobre el tratamiento ortodoncico es abordar un tema que, hasta donde hemos podido averiguar no se ha tratado en nuestro país, como es el análisis de las diferencias en la selección y la calidad de terminación de casos tratados en un medio formativo de máximo nivel, un máster de especialización universitario a tiempo completo, y en práctica privada por profesionales con formación equivalente. REVISIÓN DE LITERATURA Según la literatura, la maloclusión no es una enfermedad sino una relación oclusal que se encuentra dentro los límites de todas las posibles relaciones oclusales. Decidir el punto exacto en el que una maloclusión específica debe ser t…

Investigación sobre la importancia relativa de distintos rasgos de la dentición en el impacto de la sonrisa

2015

La sonrisa es un saludo universal y amistoso en todas las culturas, clave de la expresión en la vida social de los humanos y es el punto central en el trabajo del dentista. Está compuesta por los dientes, la encía y los labios que delimitan la zona visible y por tanto las características de cada componente individual y su relación con los otros originará una sonrisa de unas cualidades estéticas individuales. Por visibilidad, la región anterior de las arcadas dentales y especialmente el grupo anterosuperior adquiere mayor relevancia estética. Por esto nos hemos centrado en este estudio en ciertos rasgos de la dentición relacionados con los incisivos superiores, bien en su anatomía, su posici…

Isolated lip dermatitis (atopic cheilitis), successfully treated with topical tacrolimus 0.03%

2020

Background Exfoliative and erosive cheilitis, may be a source of speech and chewing discomfort, but may also be an aesthetic issue for the patients affected. Such a clinical presentation may implicate a variety of inflammatory conditions, including atopic (eczematous) cheilitis. Topical and systemic agents, e.g. corticosteroids, have been used to treat inflammatory lip conditions. Topical tacrolimus has also been used in some inflammatory lip conditions. Material and Methods We performed a retrospective clinical analysis of atopic cheilitis patients. Results Between 2015 and 2020, we addressed 7 (seven) patients with atopic dermatitis affecting only lips and were diagnosed as atopic-eczemat…

Epidemiology, clinical manifestations, risk-reduction and treatment strategies of jaw osteonecrosis in cancer patients exposed to antiresorptive agen…

2014

Osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJ) is an adverse side event of bisphosphonates and denosumab, antiresorptive agents that effectively reduce the incidence of skeletal-related events in patients with metastatic bone cancer and multiple myeloma. Available data suggest that 0–27.5% of individuals exposed to antiresorptive agents can develop ONJ. There is increasing evidence that avoidance of surgical trauma and infection to the jawbones can minimize the risk of ONJ, but there are still a significant number of individuals who develop ONJ in the absence of these risk factors. Bone necrosis is almost irreversible and there is no definitive cure for ONJ with the exclusion, in certain cases, of surgica…
