The role of patients' understanding of the pathophysiology in improving their symptoms in Burning Mouth Syndrome: A cohort study.

Introduction: Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) can present with a variety of oral mucosal symptoms such as burning, discomfort, xerostomia, dysgeusia, involving part or all of the mouth and lips but without visible lesions. This study assesses the patients' understanding of the pathophysiology of their condition and that influence on their outcome.

Material And Methods: A single-center, observational, retrospective study was conducted.

Evaluation of Alveolar Bone Reconstruction In Clefts With Early Or Late Secondary Bone Grafting: Use Of The 3d Kamperos score.

There is still no consensus on the optimal age for alveolar grafting. In order to decide on the success of this graft, the best known radiographic assessments lacks precision. Kamperos recently proposed a 3D CBCT score that simultaneously assesses alveolar bone height and thickness, as well as the nasal floor level.

Delayed diagnosis and inappropriate clinical management of nicorandil-induced oral lesions: A case report.

Oral ulcers have a number of causes, and as a result, their etiology can be difficult to determine. Clinical management can range from simple treatment of the symptoms to extensive surgical excision, as in the case of malignant ulcers. Nicorandil, an antiangina drug, has been identified as a potential trigger for cutaneomucosal ulcers.

Effects of green light photobiomodulation on Dental Pulp Stem Cells: enhanced proliferation and improved wound healing by cytoskeleton reorganization and cell softening.

Photobiomodulation (PBM) has been shown to improve cell proliferation and cell migration. Many cell types have been investigated, with most studies using deep penetrating red light irradiation. Considering the interest of surface biostimulation of oral mesenchymal cells after surgical wound, the present study aimed to assess green light irradiation effects on Dental Pulp Stem Cells' (DPSC) proliferation and migration.

A 37 mm Spindle Cell Lipoma on the Floor of the Mouth.

Spindle cell lipoma (SCL) is a rare variety of lipoma that mostly arises in male patients and rarely affects the oral cavity. The floor of the mouth is an uncommon site for SCL, and very few cases have been reported in this location. A case of SCL is reported in a 70-year-old woman who had noticed a swelling of the floor of the mouth without any functional consequence.

Fuchs Syndrome: Medical Treatment of 1 Case and Literature Review.

Fuchs syndrome is a particular type of erythema multiforme major; the lesions are only found on the mucosae and specifically affect oral, ocular, and genital mucosae. The cause is not always immediately apparent, which is why this pathology requires a rigorous, detailed clinical examination to eliminate a differential diagnosis. The severity of the symptoms, particularly of oral and ocular symptoms, requires immediate treatment.

Assessment of leakage at the implant-abutment connection using a new gas flow method.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate, with a new gas flow technique, leakage at the implant/abutment junction in systems with four different connections.

Materials And Methods: Five Branemark System, five One Morse, five Intra-lock System, and five Ankylos Plus implants and abutments were used. A hole was drilled in the apex of each implant to allow gas to flow through the connection from negative to atmospheric pressure.

Development of a new quantitative gas permeability method for dental implant-abutment connection tightness assessment.

Background: Most dental implant systems are presently made of two pieces: the implant itself and the abutment. The connection tightness between those two pieces is a key point to prevent bacterial proliferation, tissue inflammation and bone loss. The leak has been previously estimated by microbial, color tracer and endotoxin percolation.
