Background: Endoperiodontal lesion (EPL) is defined as a pathological communication between pulpal and perio- dontal tissues. Currently, accurate diagnosis and treatment of this pathology are challenging. This study aims to identify the different endoperiodontal therapies to propose a clinical protocol to simplify and unify the criteria for EPL tre...
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) commonly affects older patients; however, several studies have documented an increase in its incidence among younger patients. Therefore, it is important to investigate if this trend is also found in different geographic regions. The pathology files of diagnostic and therapeutic institutions from different parts...
Background
Proliferative verrucous/multifocal leukoplakia (PVML) is an oral potentially malignant disorder (OPMD) that exhibits high rates of malignant development (MD). This study aimed to analyse the risk of MD of PVML, as well as to investigate the possible risk factors associated with its malignisation.
Methods
A bibliographical search of the...
Objective
The aim of this study is to present and discuss the salient clinicopathological features, differential diagnosis and epithelial immunohistochemical profile of three additional cases of peripheral odontogenic keratocyst (POKC), as well as to present a review of the literature. POKC is a locally aggressive odontogenic lesion. The peripheral...
Objective
Oral leukoplakia (OL) is the most frequently encountered oral potentially malignant disorder. The aims of this systematic review are to estimate the overall malignant transformation of OL and to assess the risk factors associated with malignant transformation of OL published in the last 5 years (2015‐2020).
Material and Methods
We perfor...
Background: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis on the presence of IL-1β polymorphisms in patients with peri-implantitis (PI). PI is the main complication associated to dental implant therapy. Although its main risk factors are history of periodontitis, poor plaque control and lack of regular maintenance, genetic susceptibility could a...
Background:
To clinicopathologically characterize the diagnosis of oral lichenoid disease (OLD) and its main subtypes: oral lichen planus (OLP) and oral lichenoid lesion (OLL), in order to correctly asses their prognosis.
Material and methods:
Ambispective cohort study of 384 patients with diagnosis of OLD, based on pre-established clinical and...
Background
Peri‐implantitis is the inflammatory process, which most commonly affects the therapy with dental implants. However, there are other reactive and neoplastic entities, mainly benign but also malignant, which also take place in the peri‐implant mucosa. There is little information about the histopathological analysis of these peri‐implant i...
Objective:
Granular Cell Tumour (GCT) is a benign neoplasm that originates from Schwann cells. Within the oral cavity, it usually appears as a lingual nodule and especially amongst female adults. Histologically, GCT shows a proliferation of polygonal cells with eosinophilic granular cytoplasm, which can be associated to a pseudoepitheliomatous hyp...
Background:
Chili is the most heavily and frequently consumed spice, either as a flavouring or colouring agent, and it is also a major source of pro-vitamin A, vitamin E and C. The main capsinoidcapsaicinoid found in chili peppers is capsaicin. It has been demonstrated that capsaicin acts as a cancer-suppressing agent through its antioxidant and a...
Objectives:
To investigate the molecular pathogenesis of implant-associated peripheral giant cell granuloma (IA-PGCG).
Methods:
A convenience sample of 15 IA-PGCG cases was selected. Hotspot mutations of KRAS, FGFR1, and TRPV4 genes, previously reported in conventional giant cell lesions of the jaws, were investigated by Sanger sequencing. As th...
Objective:
The target of the current systematic review is to gather and synthesize the most recent scientific information about the role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in the molecular pathways of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Background:
Oral squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignancy of the oral cavity, with a poor prognosis and...
Background:
Juvenile spongiotic gingival hyperplasia (JSGH) is a distinct clinicopathological entity of the buccal gingiva of young patients which has been related to several factors such as plaque formation, hormonal modifications, and viral infections; however, its true etiopathogenesis remains unsolved. Several immunohistochemical studies have...
Introducción: el carcinoma de células escamosas (COCE) es el representante más importante del cáncer oral, y todavía muestra una alta tasa de mortalidad y de morbilidad. En más del 15 % de los casos no se puede relacionar con ningún factor reconocido. En los últimos años, diferentes estudios han señalado que la enfermedad periodontal (EP) podría se...
Background
Lipomas are benign neoplasms derived from adipose tissue that are unfrequently found in the oral cavity. The objective of this study is to identify the main clinicopathological characteristics of this tumour in a case series of oral lipomas (OL) in a population from Spain and Brazil.
Material and Methods
A multicentre retrospective obse...
