Role regarding basic aminoalkyl chains within the steer marketing involving Indoloquinoline alkaloids.
In relation to the presence of marginal gap and sealing ability, the studies yielded contradictory results. According to some authors, the sealing ability of Biodentine® is greater than that of MTA® during the first 24 hours, though both materials prove equal after one week. Other authors recorded no significant differences.

Considering the limitations and heterogeneity of the studies included, there is not sufficient evidence to confirm the clinical superiority of Biodentine® as a root-end filling material in periapical surgery.

Melanoma is an aggressive malignant tumor, rarely observed in the oral cavity. The aim of this study was to describe the clinicopathologic features of a series of oral melanomas.

A retrospective descriptive study was performed. A total of 15,482 biopsy records from two oral and maxillofacial pathology services in Brazil were analyzed. All cases of oral melanomas were reviewed, and clinical, demographic, histopathological data, treatment, and follow-up status were collected. In addition, immunohistochemistry stains (pan-cytokeratin AE1/AE3, vimentin, α-SMA, CD45, S-100 protein, HMB-45, Melan A, and Ki-67) were performed.

The series comprised of 5 males (71.4%) and 2 females (28.6%), with a mean age of 58.0 ± 9.2 years (range 45-69 years) and a 2.51 male-to-female ratio. The gingiva (n = 3, 42.8%) and hard palate (n = 2, 28.6%) were the most common affected sites, presenting clinically as ulcerated swellings with a brown to black color. Cervical lymph node metastasis was detected in three patients during similar to previous studies and reflected the characteristics of the services from where lesions were retrieved.
Exfoliative and erosive cheilitis, may be a source of speech and chewing discomfort, but may also be an aesthetic issue for the patients affected. Such a clinical presentation may implicate a variety of inflammatory conditions, including atopic (eczematous) cheilitis. Topical and systemic agents, e.g. corticosteroids, have been used to treat inflammatory lip conditions. Topical tacrolimus has also been used in some inflammatory lip conditions.

We performed a retrospective clinical analysis of atopic cheilitis patients.

Between 2015 and 2020, we addressed 7 (seven) patients with atopic dermatitis affecting only lips and were diagnosed as atopic-eczematous cheilitis. They were treated with 0.03 per cent topical tacrolimus ointment and responded completely.

These cases represent an underreported atopy / eczemaevent;-few cases of atopic cheilitis without concomitant dermal lesions appear in the literature. We are also showing and discussing yet another application of tacrolimus in a local atopic form of inflammation affecting the lips.

Carcinogenesis is a dynamic process which traditional biopsying can not keep up with. Saliva as fluid in the vicinity of the tumor can offer better insights to this process. This study aimed to identify the accuracy of salivary DNA integrity index in differentiating between oral premalignant lesions and oral cancer.

This phase II diagnostic test accuracy study included 93 patients divided into three groups 30 oral cancer patients, 33 patients with oral premalignant lesions divided into 21 oral lichen planus patients and 12 patients with leukoplakia and 30 normal individuals who acted as controls. Oral rinse was collected from all participants and they all underwent conventional visual and tactile examination, and patients with oral lesions had the diagnosis confirmed by histopathological examination of tissue biopsy. CID44216842 nmr DNA integrity index was determined as the ratio between ALU247 and ALU115 measured by qPCR.

There was no statistically significant difference regarding ALU115, ALU247 and DNA integrity index between the three study groups. The index was significantly higher in the oral cancer group than the oral lichen planus patients, while no significant difference was found between the oral cancer and the leukoplakia cases. The DNA integrity index sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were 73%, 45%, 55% and 65% respectively.

Salivary DNA integrity index showed poor diagnostic abilities in differentiating between the oral cancer and premalignant lesions.

This multicentre cross-sectional study aimed in examination of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of patients after solid organ transplantation (SOT).

Patients after SOT (liver, lung and heart) at one out of three German centers (Goettingen, Essen, Leipzig) were included. For comparison, a healthy control (HC) was recruited. OHRQoL was assessed by German short form of oral health impact profile (OHIP G14). Oral examination comprised decayed-, missing- and filled-teeth index (DMF-T), remaining teeth and periodontitis severity.

In total, 196 patients after SOT and 130 HC with comparable age, gender and smoking habits were included (p>0.05). DMF-T and number of remaining teeth was worse in SOT group (p<0.01). OHIP G14 sum score was significantly higher in SOT (3.49 ± 5.73 vs. 1.33 ± 2.63, p<0.01). In contrast to HC, in SOT no associations between OHIP G14 and oral health parameters were found (pi>0.05). Number of remaining teeth was not an independent predictor of OHIP G14 sum score in SOT (β -0.082, CI95 -0.156 - 0.045, p=0.28).

OHRQoL of SOT recipients is not affected by their oral condition, leading to the assumption that the individual perception of patients physical oral health is not in line with the clinical situation.
