Peri-Implant Epstein-Barr Virus (+) Mucocutaneous Ulcer in an Immunocompetent Patient: Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Clin Implant Dent Relat Res
February 2025
Epstein-Barr virus (+) mucocutaneous ulcer (EBVMCU) is an uncommon benign lymphoproliferative lesion that develops in immunocompromised patients. We present a special case of EBVMCU located in the peri-implant mucosa and we review the oral cases published to date. An 88-year-old man with no medical history of interest was attended in the dental clinic due to an ulcerated tumor located in the peri-implant mucosa.

Background: Although postoperative pain after mucogingival surgery can modify the patient's daily life, few studies have compared daily postoperative pain in mucogingival surgery considering patient characteristics. The aim of this study was to evaluate postoperative pain in 24 patients with Miller class III/RT2 multiple recessions treated with the modified VISTA (m-VISTA) versus the coronally advanced flap (CAF) with a connective tissue graft (CTG).
Material And Methods: Data related to pain intensity (PI), pain duration (PD), analgesic drug intake (AI), and time of analgesic need (TAN) were collected in the "UPV/EHU pain diary".
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes the characteristics of oral reactions to injectable soft tissue fillers, focusing on 151 patients, predominantly females averaging 54.9 years old.
- Most reactions occurred about 20.4 months after injection, often presenting as painless nodules in the lips, with silicone and polymethylmetacrylate being the most common fillers used.
- Key findings showed differences in reaction patterns based on the type of filler and highlighted the importance for clinicians to recognize these potential reactions when assessing asymptomatic nodules in older female patients.
Article Synopsis
- The study reviews global research on the malignant transformation of oral leukoplakia (OL), aiming to provide an updated understanding based on rigorous evidence.
- A total of 55 studies involving over 41,000 individuals with OL were analyzed, revealing a pooled malignant transformation rate of 6.64%, with consistent rates across different time periods.
- Key risk factors for malignant transformation include non-homogeneous leukoplakias, larger size, location on the lateral border of the tongue, smoking habits, and the presence of epithelial dysplasia.
Genetic polymorphisms of inflammatory and bone metabolism related proteins in a population with dental implants of the Basque Country. A case-control study.
BMC Oral Health
June 2024
Background: Peri-implantitis (PI) is a frequent inflammatory disorder characterised by progressive loss of the supporting bone. Not all patients with recognised risk factors develop PI. The aim of this study is to evaluate the presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of inflammatory and bone metabolism related proteins in a population treated with dental implants from the Basque Country (Spain).
