Clinical and Pathological Features of Osteosarcomas of the Jaws: A Retrospective Study.

Introduction: Osteosarcomas of the jaw (OSJs) are rare tumors with distinct characteristics from osteosarcomas affecting other bones. This study aims to analyze the clinical, pathological, and therapeutic characteristics of OSJs.

Methods: A retrospective, descriptive cross-sectional study including patients diagnosed with OSJ registered at the "La Paz" University Hospital, Madrid, was performed.

Comparison of hemodynamic changes with general or local anesthesia during dental treatment in pediatric patients: A prospective clinical study.

Background And Aim: Severe hemodynamic fluctuations during dental treatment can trigger highly undesirable physical reactions. A study was made to determine whether the administration of propofol and sevoflurane contributes to the stabilization of hemodynamic parameters during dental treatment in pediatric patients versus the use of local anesthesia alone.

Materials And Methods: Forty pediatric patients needing dental treatment were assigned to either general anesthesia with local anesthesia (study group [SG]) or local anesthesia alone (control group [CG]).

Effect of Photobiomodulation on Atrophic-Erosive Clinical Forms of Oral Lichen Planus: A Systematic Review.

Introduction: Oral lichen planus is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease of unknown origin, characterized by various clinical forms of which the atrophic-erosive causes patients the greatest symptomatology. For this reason, there are different treatments that improve the associated signs and symptoms. One of these therapies is photobiomodulation (PBM), which, although new, has a high level of acceptance in dentistry based on evidence.

Hemodynamic and ventilatory changes in pediatric patients with special needs: A comparative clinical study.

Background: Very limited data are available on the hemodynamic and ventilatory changes during sedation and general anesthesia using bispectral index (BIS) monitoring in intellectually disabled children. The purpose was to determine the hemodynamic and ventilatory changes after propofol and sevoflurane administration in children with special needs (CSN) versus healthy children (HC) during dental treatment.

Material And Methods: Forty pediatric patients needing dental treatment were allocated into two groups: children without systemic disease (healthy children [HC]) and mentally disabled children (children with special needs [CSN]).

Oral status of older people in medium to long-stay health and social care setting: a systematic review.

Background: Older patients who spend long periods hospitalized or those who are in a situation of institutionalization represent a risk group in this regard, as many of them suffer a degree of dependence and need help to perform the basic tasks of personal care. It is therefore important to learn more of the oral health status of this group of patients in order to make a proper assessment of the situation and to develop protocols for its management. The purpose of the study was to conduct a systematic review to ascertain the oral health status of older people patients admitted to institutions or hospitalized for a long period of time.

Influence of operator's professional experience in the postoperative course after surgical extrac-tion of the impacted lower third molar: A pilot study.

Background: Third molars are present in 96.6% of humans, although they do not always erupt completely. Between 9.

Is YouTube a useful tool for oral care in patients with Parkinson's disease?

Introduction: To analyze the quality of YouTube videos offering information about oral care in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Background: Regular oral and dental care is essential for good general health and well-being. In this regard, the motor and/or cognitive problems of people with PD can complicate correct daily hygiene.

Effectiveness of the Botulinum Toxin for Treating Sialorrhea in Patients with Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review.

The main objective was to assess the efficacy of botulinum toxin-based treatment for sialorrhea in adult patients with Parkinson's disease. The search was performed by using the Medline-PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases from January 2000⁻December 2017, in English/Spanish in patients with Parkinson's disease and sialorrhea. The methodological quality of trials was carried out by following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) criteria and the Newcastle⁻Ottawa Scale (NOS).

YOUTUBE videos on oral care of the organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients.

Objective: Video-sharing websites can be a useful platform for disseminating information. The aim of this study was to evaluate information about the oral health care of the organ transplant and hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients available on YouTube™.

Methods: The transversal study evaluated the content of YouTube™ videos.

Pyostomatitis vegetans. Report of two cases and review of the literature.

Pyostomatitis vegetans (PV) is a rare benign chronic mucocutaneous pustular disorder of unknown etiology, though it is usually associated with chronic inflammatory disease of the bowel-particularly ulcerative colitis. At the oral level PV manifests as an exophytic lesion with an erythematous perimeter and a creamy-yellow surface presenting a friable covering membrane which easily disintegrates, giving rise to the development of small ulcers or superficial erosions. The histology shows epithelial acanthosis and superficial ulceration.
