Granulomatosis with Poliangeitis (Wegener's Granulomatosis): Orofacial Manifestations. Systematic Review and Case Report.

Purpose: To present an update the orofacial manifestations of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and present a clinical case with the initial signs in the oral cavity.

Materials And Methods: A bibliographic search was performed on Pubmed with the keywords 'Wegener's granulomatosis', 'etiology', 'oral manifestations', 'oral cavity', 'gingiva'. The inclusion criteria were papers published in English in the last 10 years that made reference to clinical cases with in which the oral cavity was affected.

Corticotomy in orthodontic treatment: systematic review.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate corticotomies effects to accelerate or facilitate dental movements in different kind of orthodontic treatments.

Data: This report followed the PRISMA Statement. A total of 9 articles were included in review.

Functional outcomes after glossectomies: Pilot study on use of a thrombin-fibrinogen biosponge (TachoSil).

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the use of a thrombin-fibrinogen biosponge (TachoSil) has any advantage in tongue healing.

Study Design: A retrospective study with 30 patients treated with partial glossectomy (below half a tongue) was designed. We compared the results from a group using the biosponge (n =15 patients) and a control group (n = 15).

Intraosseous Leiomyoma of the Jaw in an Adolescent.

Leiomyoma is a benign tumor of the smooth muscle that rarely occurs in the mouth as an intraosseous lesion. The purposes of this paper are to: (1) present a case of an intraosseous solid leiomyoma of the mandible in a 13-year-old child, who presented with a well-defined unilocular radiolucency in the right mandible incidentally discovered during a routine dental radiographic examination; and (2) conduct a review of the literature to describe clinicopathological features and management of intraosseous jaw leiomyoma (IJL). A total of 17 articles describing 18 cases of IJL satisfied the selection criteria; including the present patient, to date a total of 19 cases of IJL have been reported.

Analytical parameters and vital signs in patients subjected to dental extraction.

Background: Dental consultation may provoke stress to the patient, especially when a dental surgery is going to be performed, stressful situations can cause a reaction in the sympathetic nervous system that could lead to cardiovascular alterations. Blood pressure and cardiac frequency are used often as an indirect measurement and this parameters combined can serve as good indicators of stress. Objective: Analyze the changes in vital signs and analytical parameters induced by a dental extraction.

TETIS study: evaluation of new topical hemostatic agent TT-173 in tooth extraction.

Objectives: TT-173 is a new hemostatic agent consisting of yeast-derived microvesicles containing a modified version of recombinant human tissue factor. In the present work, the procoagulant activity of TT-173 has been evaluated for the first time in humans.

Methods: This is a phase I, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, systemic absorption, and immunogenicity of TT-173 in healthy volunteers undergoing tooth extraction.

The importance of a good evaluation in order to prevent oral nerve injuries: a review.

Objective: Oral nerve injuries are a less frequent complication but they involve a decrease in the patient life quality. The purpose of the current review is to know the described risk factors to prevent injuries and to know the therapies against an established injury.

Materials And Methods: A Pubmed search of the English and Spanish language literature from 2000-2012 using the keywords 'oral surgery' or 'trigeminal nerve injuries' or 'lingual nerve injuries' or 'mandibular nerve injuries' was performed.

Lemierre Syndrome associated with dental infections. Report of one case and review of the literature.

The first publication on Lemierre Syndrome appears in 1936 by Lemierre. It is defined as an "oropharynx bacterial infection characterized by the thrombophlebitis in the internal jugular vein, derived in a systemic septic embolism". In 81% of the cases, the Fusobacterium necrophorum is the most frequent etiologic agent.
