Article Synopsis
- The case report discusses a rare occurrence of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in a healthy 23-year-old male, who experienced oral discomfort, mild fever and lesions after exposure to an infected child. Symptoms improved within a week with symptomatic treatment.
- A literature review on HFMD identified 925 articles, narrowed down to 52 relevant studies from the last five years, highlighting typical symptoms like maculopapular lesions on the hands and feet.
- The study emphasizes the important role of dentists in diagnosing HFMD and calls for a surveillance system to monitor outbreaks, promote early detection, and support vaccine research to effectively manage the disease.
This review was designed to determine whether non-surgical periodontal treatment is able to reduce serum glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Several previous reports showed that scaling and root planning (SRP) improve periodontal status in patients with DM, but whether it also improves metabolic control of the disease is unclear. A systematic review was conducted according to the recommendations of the Cochrane Collaboration and PRISMA.

Study Design: The study was carried out on 97 patients admitted to the Hematology Service of the Hospital Duran y Reynals in Barcelona during 2002-2003. These patients received treatment with chemotherapy or conditioning prior to bone marrow transplant.
