Comparative analysis of photobiomodulation therapy and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for burning mouth: a randomized clinical trial.
Clin Oral Investig
October 2023
Objective: To compare the effect of photobiomodulation (PBM) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in the treatment of burning mouth.
Materials And Methods: Randomized clinical trial of 25 patients with burning mouth treated by TENS (n=12) and PBM (n=13). The patients were treated weekly for 8 weeks.
Introduction: Radicular cysts (RCs) and residual radicular cysts (RRCs) are the sequelae of dental caries and that leads to proliferation of epithelial rests of Malassez in periapical tissues.
Objectives: The aim was to evaluate the relationship between Langerhans cells, macrophages, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-9, MMP-13), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in the capsule and lining epithelium of cystic lesions.
Materials And Methods: Twenty RCs and 20 RRCs were submitted to immunohistochemical analysis with anti-CD68, anti-CD1a, anti-MMP-9, anti-MMP-13, and anti-TNF-α antibodies.
Article Synopsis
- Verruciform xanthoma (VX) is a rare, benign lesion often found in the mouth, characterized by its painless, rough appearance and varying colors, typically affecting the gingiva and alveolar mucosa.
- A clinical case is reported involving VX in the buccal mucosa that was associated with oral lichen planus, which was confirmed through histopathological analysis showing inflammation and specific cell characteristics.
- Immunohistochemical tests indicated the presence of lipid-laden macrophages (xanthoma cells) in the VX, and the patient is currently being monitored with no recurrence of the VX but has ongoing lesions from lichen planus.
Introduction: Oropharyngeal cancer is characterized by high morbidity and mortality. Prognostic factors for this cancer are therefore useful to predict overall survival and may provide additional therapeutic targets.
Objective: To evaluate the 5-year overall survival and prognostic factors for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
Use of topical anti-inflammatory and antineoplastic agents in the treatment of young-aged actinic cheilitis: A systematic review.
J Cosmet Dermatol
February 2022
Introduction: Several treatments have been used to reduce inflammation and to reverse epithelial alterations in actinic cheilitis (AC).
Aim: A systematic review was conducted to analyze the potential of topical treatments for remission and clinical improvement of AC as well as patient acceptability.
Methods: A systematic review of clinical trials was conducted following the PICO strategy to answer the following question: Are topical anti-inflammatory and antineoplastic agents effective in the treatment of actinic cheilitis? The quality of the studies was assessed by ROB-2, and the certainty of evidence was rated by GRADE guidelines.
