ABSTRACT

Introdução: A infecção viral causada pelo HSV-1 leva ao aparecimento das lesões do herpes simples e é caracterizada por períodos de infecção primária, latência e recorrência. Durante a vida do indivíduo esta infecção pode ser reativada por diversos fatores como o estresse. No contexto pandêmico de COVID-19, observa-se um aumento de efeitos psicológicos negativos derivados da exaustão emocional entre os estudantes universitários. Objetivo: Avaliar a relação entre o estresse e a recorrência de lesões do herpes simples bucal durante a pandemia de COVID-19 nos estudantes de graduação em odontologia. Materiais e Métodos: Este estudo observacional, descritivo, transversal e de abordagem quali-quantitativo, foi realizado com uma população constituída por 347 estudantes de odontologia, maiores de 18 anos independente de gênero e cor da pele, que já apresentaram episódios primários e/ou recorrentes de herpes simples bucal antes da pandemia de COVID-19. Foram excluídos os estudantes matriculados em odontologia que se recusaram a concordar com o termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido (TCLE). Resultados: A maioria dos participantes era do gênero feminino (81%) com idade entre 20 e 23 anos. Somente 8% apresentaram recorrência das lesões do herpes simples durante o período pandêmico. Entre eles, 78% apresentaram 1 vez, 11% indicaram 4 vezes e 11% revelaram 5 vezes. Analisou-se o nível de estresse, ansiedade e depressão dos participantes por meio da escala DASS-21 e observou-se que entre os colaboradores que apresentaram recorrência do herpes simples bucal, 44% apresentavam ansiedade grave. Ademais, 44% dos participantes manifestaram nível grave e outros 44% nível moderado de estresse. Conclusão: O estudo mostrou o impacto negativo que o período da pandemia de COVID-19 tem causado nos estudantes de odontologia. Notou-se que a parcela da população que apresentou a recorrência das manifestações do vírus em grande maioria indicou ansiedade no nível grave e estresse nos níveis moderado e grave.


Introduction: The viral infection caused by HSV-1 leads to manifestation of herpes simplex lesions and is characterized by periods of primary infection, latency and recurrence. During the individual's life, this infection can be reactivated by several factors such as stress. In the COVID-19 pandemic context, an increase in negative psychological effects derived from emotional exhaustion among university students is observed. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between stress and recurrence of oral herpes simplex lesions during the COVID-19 pandemic in undergraduate dentistry students. Materials and Methods: This observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study, with a quali-quantitative approach, was carried out with a population consisting of 347 dentistry students, over 18 years old, regardless of gender and skin color, who had already had primary episodes and/or recurrent oral herpes simplex before the COVID-19 pandemic. Students enrolled in Dentistry who refused to agree to the free and informed consent form (ICF) were excluded. Results: Most participants were female (81%), aged between 20 and 23 years. Only 8% had recurrence of herpes simplex lesions during the pandemic period. Among them, 78% presented 1 time, 11% indicated 4 times and 11% revealed 5 times. The level of stress, anxiety and depression of the participants was analyzed using the DASS-21 scale and it was observed that among the collaborators who presented recurrence of oral herpes simplex, 44% had severe anxiety. Besides, 44% of participants expressed a severe level and another 44% moderate level of stress. Conclusion: The study showed the negative impact that the period of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused in dentistry students. It was noted that the portion of thepopulation that presented the recurrence of the manifestations of the virus in the vast majority indicated severe level anxiety and stress at moderate and severe levels

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Erythema multiforme (EM) is a mucocutaneous condition of uncertain etiology, although the hypersensitivity reaction to a wide variety of agents may be related to the onset of the lesions. In about half of the affected patients it is possible to identify a previous infection. This article aims to report a case of EM in the oralmucosa after qHPV vaccine (Gardasil®), to highlight the diagnostic process and the proposed treatment. Female patient, 16 years old, after 10 days of receiving the first dose of the qHPV vaccine. On physical examination, she presented multiple ulcers and hemorrhagic crusts to the touch, based on the clinical picture and the history of the disease, a diagnostic hypothesis was EM. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) was chosen as an alternative treatment, since the exercises applied were not successful. The patient was followed up, reported decreased pain and burn and, after one year of treatment, there was no recurrence of the lesions. Laser treatment showed an effective treatment alternative, in addition to the low cost and ease of application.


RESUMEN: El eritema multiforme (EM) es una afección mucocutánea de etiología incierta, aunque la reacción de hipersensibilidad a una amplia variedad de agentes puede estar relacionada con la aparición de las lesiones. En aproximadamente la mitad de los pacientes afectados es posible identificar una infección previa. Este artículo tiene como objetivo informar un caso de EM en la mucosa oral después de la vacuna qHPV (Gardasil®), para resaltar el proceso de diagnóstico y el tratamiento propuesto. Paciente de 16 años, después de 10 días de recibir la primera dosis de la vacuna qHPV. En el examen físico, presentó múltiples úlceras y costras hemorrágicas al tacto, según el cuadro clínico y la historia de la enfermedad, una hipótesis diagnóstica fue EM. La terapia con láser de baja potencia (TLBP) se eligió como un tratamiento alternativo, ya que los ejercicios aplicados no tuvieron éxito. La paciente fue seguida, informó disminución del dolor y las quemaduras y, después de un año de tratamiento, no hubo recurrencia de las lesiones. El tratamiento con láser mostró una alternativa de tratamiento efectivo, además del bajo costo y la facilidad de aplicación.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Radiotherapy applies ionizing radiation at predetermined doses for a limited period of time in order to destroy tumors. The oral cavity, which has a high rate of cell renewal, is affected by the side effects of radiotherapy including osteoradionecrosis (ORN). This condition occurs due to irradiated bone tissue that becomes devitalized and exposed in the oral cavity. Conservative therapies are recommended for ORN lesions that are not extensive or in an early stage. Surgical intervention is necessary for extensive areas affected by necrosis. This study reports a case of ORN in the left mandibular body which resulted in a pathological fracture. The treatment consisted of segmental mandibulectomy and the use of a reconstruction plate. Also, low-level laser therapy around bone exposure was performed. After surgery, the patient underwent 6 months of follow-up and was satisfied with the outcome. However, the patient died before control of ORN was achieved due to a heart attack.


RESUMEN: La radioterapia aplica radiación ionizante a dosis predeterminadas durante un período de tiempo limitado para destruir tumores. La cavidad oral, que tiene una alta tasa de renovación celular, se ve afectada por los efectos secundarios de la radioterapia, incluida la osteorradionecrosis (ORN). Esta condición se produce debido al tejido óseo irradiado que se desvitaliza y expone en la cavidad oral. Se recomiendan terapias conservadoras para las lesiones de ORN que no son extensas o en una etapa temprana. La intervención quirúrgica es necesaria para áreas extensas afectadas por necrosis. Este estudio reporta un caso de ORN en el cuerpo mandibular izquierdo que resultó en una fractura patológica. El tratamiento consistió en mandibulectomía segmentaria y el uso de una placa de reconstrucción. Además, se realizó una terapia con láser de bajo nivel alrededor de la exposición ósea. Después de la cirugía, el paciente se sometió a 6 meses de seguimiento y quedó satisfecho con el resultado. Sin embargo, el paciente falleció antes de que se lograra el control de ORN debido a un ataque cardíaco.

ABSTRACT

Este trabalho realizou análise crítica acerca dos padrões éticos e jurídicos de trabalhos envolvendo casos clínicos e pesquisas que utilizaram enxertos de órgãos ou tecidos musculoesqueléticos e cutâneos publicados em revistas nacionais e internacionais, incluindo ainda dissertaçães e teses de universidades brasileiras. Foram utilizadas três bases de dados de 2000 até 2010: Scielo, Medline e Bireme. Concluiu-se que muitas vezes os princípios bioéticos e as normas jurídicas não foram adotados quanto à aquisição, a utilização e o descarte de tecidos musculoesqueléticos e cutâneos utilizados em estudos científicos, demonstrando a necessidade de se evidenciar normas éticas e legais para aqueles profissionais que utilizarão esse tipo de material.


Este trabajo realizó el análisis crítico de los estándares é ticos y jurídicos de trabajos que involucren casos clínicos e investigaciones que utilizaron injertos de órganos o tejidos musculoesqueléticos y cutáneos publicados en revistas nacionales e internacionales, incluyendo también disertaciones y tesis de universidades brasi-leñas. Se utilizaron tres bases de datos desde el año 2000 hasta el 2010: SciELO, MEDLINE y BIREME. Se concluye que a menudo los principios de la bioética y las normas jurídicas no se han adoptado en la adquisición, uso y eliminación de los tejidos musculoesqueléticos y cutáneos utilizados en los estudios cienơficos, lo que demuestra la necesidad de evidenciar las normas éticas y legales para aquellos profesionales que utilizarán ese tipo de materiales.


This study performed a critical analysis about the ethical and legal standards of papers published in national and international journals involving clinical cases and research regarding musculoskeletal and cutaneous organs or tissue grafts, also including dissertations and thesis of Brazilian Universities. Three databases from 2000 to 2010 were used, which are SciELO, MEDLINE and BIREME. It was concluded that in many cases Bio-ethics principles and legal criteria were not adopted regarding acquistion, utilization and disposal of musculoskeletal and cutaneous tissues used in scientific trials, thus demonstrating the need of highlighting ethical and legal standards for those professionals who use this type of material.
