Relationship between fluoride exposure and count of in supragingival biofilm of mexican scholar children.

Background/purpose: The use of fluoride is known to reduce the risk of dental caries. There is limited information on the relationship between () and fluoride exposure. This study investigated the association between the count of on supragingival biofilm and fluoride exposure of scholar children.

Congenital lingual cyst: Expression of MUC protein and report of a new case.

Lingual congenital cysts are uncommon lesions that alter the functions of speech, swallowing and breathing when they have considerable dimension. They usually appear from birth and increase in size gradually in childhood and adolescence. While there are a considerable number of case reports, the nomenclature and origin of this lesion are controversial.

Primordial odontogenic tumour: clinicopathological analysis of six cases of a previously undescribed entity.

Aim: To describe the clinicopathological and immuno-histochemical features of six tumours that do not fulfil the criteria of any of the currently classified odontogenic tumours.

Methods And Results: The patients were three males and three females, whose ages ranged from 3 years to 18 years (mean, 11.05 years).

Expression of PROX-1 in oral Kaposi's sarcoma spindle cells.

Background: The histogenesis of neoplastic spindle cells of Kaposi's sarcoma is still uncertain, but some studies consider it a lymphatic vessel differentiation. Prox-1 is a nuclear transcription factor that plays a major role during embryonic lymphangiogenesis, and it has been considered a specific and sensitive lymphatic endothelial cell marker. The aim of this study was to determine the expression of Prox-1 in oral Kaposi's sarcoma comparing the results with oral benign vascular tumors including capillary hemangiomas and pyogenic granulomas.
