Case-control study related to the use of L-cysteine in the differential diagnosis of oral halitosis.

Oral halitosis is characterized by a foul, unpleasant breath that emanates from the oral cavity due to local or systemic conditions. Approximately 90% of offensive odors are caused by volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs). L-cysteine, used as a test solution to control bad breath, induces the formation of VSCs and serves as a preliminary rinse.

Three-Dimensional Analysis of the Skull Base of Individuals With Cleft Lip and Palate.

Aims: Identify variations of skull base measurements in individuals with dentofacial deformities associated or not with cleft lip and palate and compare the results with individuals without dentofacial deformities.

Methods And Results: The individuals were categorized into three different groups: dentofacial deformity without cleft malformation, dentofacial deformity associated with cleft lip and palate, and without facial deformity. The inclusion criteria were individuals over 18 years of age, without any intervention involving facial bones or structures of interest for the study and field of view encompassing from the glabella to the hyoid bone.

Volatile sulphur compounds in people with chronic kidney disease and the impact on quality of life.

The objectives are to identify volatile sulphur compounds (VSCs) in individuals with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and to relate quality of life and oral health. A case-control study with 32 individuals with CKD in haemodialysis in the study group (SG) and 32 healthy individuals in the control group (CG) was performed. The VSCs were identified by gas chromatograph before (BC) and after cysteine (AC) mouthwash and an organoleptic test.

Halitosis, reduced salivary flow and the quality of life in pre-kidney transplantation patients.

Background: Halitosis is a condition that affects 50% of adults and one third of patients with chronic kidney disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate oral manifestations and volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) associated with halitosis and quality of life in pre-kidney transplantation candidates.

Material And Methods: The organoleptic test (OT) and halimetry (HA) (before and after cysteine mouthwash) were performed in patients with the Oralchroma® device, stimulated (SE) and non-stimulated sialometry (SN), Tongue Coating Index (TCI).

Sclerotherapy as an esthetic indication in oral vascular malformations: a case series.

Background: The use of monoethanolamine oleate 5% is effective for the treatment of vascular malformations with low blood flow.

Objectives: To report a case series of vascular malformations in the mouth and oral cavity treated with monoethanolamine oleate 5%.

Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was performed in electronic patient charts covering seven years.

Retrospective study of osteoradionecrosis in the jaws of patients with head and neck cancer.

Objectives: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is one of the most severe complications resulting from radiotherapy (RT) in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). It is characterized by persistent exposed and devitalized bone without proper healing for greater than 6 months after a high dose of radiation in the area. To describe the profile and dental management of ORN in HNC patients undergoing RT in an oncological clinical research center.
