Oral Lichen Planus - Related Connection with HLA-System Antigens.

Aim: To determine whether there is an immunogenic connection and antigen difference between the HLA antigens in the erosive (EOLP) and reticular (ROLP) oral lichen planus.

Materials And Method: 73 patients with ROLP and EOLP have been tested. Typing of the HLA antigens has been made for locus A and B.

Orthodontic Treatment of a Periodontally - Affected Adult Patient (Case Report).

Background: The advanced periodontal disease is characterised by a strongly pronounced loss of attachment and reduction of the alveolar bone support, which leads to luxation, migration of the teeth, functional discomfort and poor facial aesthetics.

Case Presentation: The aim of this paper is to present the case of a 26-year-old female patient, registered at the Clinic of Periodontology with highly expressed gingivitis, unsatisfactory periodontal status, presence of diastemas between the frontal teeth and attachment loss of 5-6 millimetres in different areas. We conducted a thorough classic periodontal treatment, as well as training for proper maintenance of oral hygiene, with frequent professional oral-prophylactic sessions, complemented with orthodontic treatment.

The Effects of NBF Gingival Gel Application in the Treatment of the Erosive Lichen Planus: Case Report.

The therapy of erosive lichen planus (ELP) has been particular problem in the treatment of oral lesions. This case of ELP in male patient 29 years old was treated with topic application of the NBF gingival gel, three times a day after meal, previously rinsed with Clorhexidine gluconate 0.12%.

Clinical Therapeutic Effects of the Application of Doxycycline in the Treatment of Periodontal Disease.

Objective: To compare the therapeutic effects of the application of doxycycline-full dose (100 mg) and sub-dose (20 mg) in the treatment of periodontal disease.

Material And Methods: A total of 60 patients with periodontal disease were examined. Patients are divided into two groups: A) treated with antimicrobial dose of 100 mg doxycycline once daily for 30 days, and B) treated with 2 x 20 mg/day.

Oral findings in end-stage renal disease.

The aim of the study was to analyse and compare the most frequent clinical oral symptoms, signs and lesions at end-stage renal disease (ESRD), before kidney transplantation (BKT) and after kidney transplantation (AKT). A total of 35 subjects with ESRD were included, 19 in group A (BKT) and 16 in group B (AKT). Oral lesions were classified according to referent clinical diagnostic criteria: Serum albumins, urea, creatinine and salivary urea, creatinine uremic acid were determined by standard biochemical spectrophotometric methods (Human, Germany).

Therapeutic effect of proaftol in treatment of recurrent aphthous stomatitis.

Unlabelled: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a quite frequent, painful, ulcerative disease that affects the lining of the oral cavity and has an unknown etiology.

In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study respondents were divided into two groups where one group was treated with proaftol spray and the other with a placebo.

Role of humoral mechanisms in etiology of lichen planus.

Aim: To examine the role of IgA, CIC and component C3 as indicators of humoral immune response in the etiopathogenesis of oral erosive lichen planus (OELP).

Material And Method: The study comprised 19 patients with OELP whose samples of blood, saliva and tissue were obtained after carefully taken medical history and clinical examination. Samples of oral mucosa were taken from the site of lesion, i.

T-cell subpopulations in lesions of oral lichen planus.

Aim Of The Study: To determine the distribution and frequency of T(CD3) cells and cell sub-populations in tissue specimens of erosive lichen planus (EOLP).

Material And Method: Tissue specimens from buccal mucosa were taken from 14 healthy individuals--control group (CG)--and 17 subjects with EF-OLP. Applying monoclonal antibodies, T(CD3) cells, T cell subpopulations, The CD4, CD8 and CD4/CD8 ratios in both groups were determined.
