ABSTRACT
The aim was to review previous cases of Odontogenic Keratocyst or Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor according to the new WHO classification. We used all cases diagnosed as Odontogenic Keratocyst or Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor registered in the archives of the Pathologic Anatomy Laboratory of the Department of Pathology and Oral Diagnosis of the School of Dentistry of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which were collected from September, 1983 until September, 2008. The terms Keratocyst or Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor were searched for and the following data were collected from the case files: age, sex, location of the lesion(s), and patients chief complaints. Hematoxilin and Eosin slides were reviewed according to the 2005 WHO criteria. The results found are in accordance with the literature. Due to its benign features, the Orthokeratinized Odontogenic Keratocyst found in our sample had its diagnosis changed to Orthokeratinized Odontogenic Cyst, as recommended by the WHO. Histopathologic exams are required for every bone lesion, in order to establish correct diagnosis. Because of its features, the Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor must have more aggressive treatment, compared with odontogenic cysts, and long-term follow-up is mandatory.
El objetivo fue revisar los casos anteriores de queratoquiste odontogénico (QO) o tumor odontogénico queratoquístico (TOQ) de acuerdo con la nueva clasificación de la OMS. Fueron utilizados todos los casos diagnosticados como QO o TOQ registrados en los archivos del Laboratorio de Anatomía Patológica del Departamento de Patología y Diagnóstico Oral de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Federal de Río de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, registrados a partir de septiembre de 1983 hasta septiembre del 2008. Los términos "Queratoquiste" o "tumor queratoquistes odontogénicos" se buscaron y los siguientes datos se obtuvieron de los archivos del caso: edad, sexo, localización de la lesión (es), y quejas de los pacientes. Las muestras histológicas de hematoxilina y eosina fueron revisadas de acuerdo a los criterios de la OMS 2005. Los resultados encontrados estaban de acuerdo con la literatura. Debido a sus características benignas, el queratoquiste odontogénico ortoqueratinizado encontrado en nuestra muestra había cambiado su diagnóstico de quiste odontogénico ortoqueratinizado, según lo recomendado por la OMS. Los exámenes histopatológicos son necesarios para toda lesión ósea, con el fin de establecer el diagnóstico correcto. Debido a sus características, el TOQ debe tener un tratamiento más agresivo, en comparación con los quistes odontogénicos, donde un seguimiento a mediano y largo plazo es obligatorio.

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi realizar uma revisão da literatura a respeito dos efeitos do clareamento dental sobre a polpa dental, incluindo a penetração dos agentes clareadores na câmara pulpar, as ações destas substâncias no interior da polpa e, por fim, os efeitos das fontes de luz sobre a polpa. Concluiu-se que os estudos a respeito deste assunto ainda são limitados, portanto deve-se ter cautela na aplicação destes agentes, bem como das fontes luminosas, sempre respeitando as indicações para cada situação.
The aim of this paper was to review the literature about the negative effects of bleaching agents on dental pulp tissue, including the penetration of these substances on the pulp chamber, the actions of these agents inside the pulp, and the effects of light sources on pulp. It was concluded that the studies about this subject are still limited, therefore caution is necessary when these agents are used, as well as light sources, and the indications must always be respected for each situation.
