Article Synopsis
- This systematic review assesses the effectiveness of direct and indirect immunofluorescence in diagnosing oral lesions, comparing their performance to conventional diagnostic methods.
- The review analyzed data from 37 studies published between January 15, 2024, and May 15, 2024, finding that direct immunofluorescence (DIF) generally showed higher sensitivity and specificity than indirect immunofluorescence.
- The findings indicate that DIF is a more reliable diagnostic tool for conditions like pemphigus vulgaris and mucous membrane pemphigoid, suggesting that its use, possibly alongside indirect immunofluorescence, can improve the evaluation of oral health issues.

Summary/introduction: Velopharyngeal incompetence(VPI) is the failure of closure of the velopharyngeal sphincter, which consists of the muscles of the soft palate and the superior pharyngeal constrictor, and functions to separate the nasopharynx and oropharynx during phonation and swallowing. VPI is most frequently congenital/syndromic (with structural deficit) but can be acquired. A subset of acquired VPI, occurring in structurally intact velopharynx, has been described in children, and these are isolated and acute-onset, with a substantial proportion thought to have an infectious origin.
