ABSTRACT

Odontogenic tumors (OTs) are lesions that develop exclusively on maxillary bones, and form a heterogeneous group. They vary from hamartomatous lesions to benign and malign tumors. Although they are rarely observed in dentistry clinics, it is extremely important for the dentist to be aware of them. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of odontogenic tumors diagnosed in the population of Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Cases of odontogenic tumors were selected from the anatomopathological diagnostic services at Federal University of Santa Catarina from 1998 to 2011. Clinical data on these cases were collected from biopsy reports and patient files. Seventy-eight cases of odontogenic tumors were surveyed. Of these diagnoses, 51% were keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KCOTs); the remaining cases were mainly ameloblastomas and odontomas. The most frequently observed lesion in this retrospective study was KCOT (more than half of cases). Thus, this study shows that modifying the classification of the OTs altered the frequency of the lesions, possibly making KCOT the most common lesion observed in diagnostic services worldwide.

ABSTRACT

Primary teeth are interesting models that can be used to study physiological and pathological processes involving cells and extracellular matrices in hard and soft tissues. This study investigated the expression and distribution of biglycan and decorin-the non-collagenous components of the extracellular matrix-in primary teeth tissue, during physiological root resorption. Thirty healthy human primary teeth were grouped together according to root length: Group I - two-thirds root length, Group II - one-third root length, and Group III - teeth with no root. The streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase immunohistochemical method was used with antibodies against the previously named antigens. The proteoglycans studied were found in the pulp and dentin extracellular matrix in all groups without any differences in the proteins, among the groups. Biglycan was observed mainly in predentin and in pulp connective tissue in the resorption area. In addition, decorin was observed mainly in pulp connective tissue, but near the resorption area. Biglycan and decorin were distributed differentially in the dental tissues. The present immunohistocytochemical data, combined with previously reported data, suggest that these proteoglycans could be involved in regulating the physiological resorption process in healthy primary teeth.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: A busca por novos métodos que auxiliem e simplifiquem de maneira eficaz o diagnóstico de lesões maxilares, cistos e tumores, objetiva beneficiar os pacientes e facilitar a atuação dos profissionais da área de diagnóstico bucal. Além dos dados clínicos, radiográficos e histopatológicos classicamente utilizados nos protocolos de investigação das lesões maxilares, a adaptação de técnicas já consagradas na medicina pode ser de grande valia. A técnica de cell block se propõe a auxiliar nesse processo, pois consiste na análise citológica de materiais, efusões e líquidos, coletados de lesões passíveis de punção aspirativa, como cistos e tumores císticos dos maxilares. OBJETIVO: Demonstrar a aplicabilidade da técnica de cell block para avaliação citológica de material biológico coletado a partir de lesões císticas dos maxilares. RESULTADOS: Das 20 lesões, das quais o conteúdo foi processado pela técnica, a avaliação citológica de cinco casos de tumores odontogênicos ceratocísticos (TOCs) demonstrou a presença predominante de ceratina, sempre com áreas de paraceratina. Nos demais casos (cinco cistos dentígeros, cinco cistos radiculares e cinco cistos residuais) foi observada a presença de hemácias, células inflamatórias e fendas de cristais de colesterol. CONCLUSÃO: A avaliação citológica, a partir da técnica de cell block, foi útil no estabelecimento do diagnóstico diferencial entre TOC e demais lesões estudadas, cistos radicular, residual e dentígero.


INTRODUCTION: The search for new methods that aid and optimize the diagnosis of cystic and tumoral maxillary lesions aims to benefit both patients and professionals from oral diagnosis. In addition to clinical, radiographic and histological findings traditionally used in research protocol for maxillary lesions, the adaptation of widely used medical techniques may be very helpful. The cell block procedure streamlines this process, inasmuch as it consists of cytopathological analysis of materials, liquids and effusions, collected from aspirated lesions such as maxillary cysts and cystic maxillary tumors. OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the applicability of cell block technique for cytological assessment of biological material collected from cystic maxillary lesions. RESULTS: The cytological evaluation revealed that five out of 20 lesions, whose content had been processed by this technique, were odontogenic keratocystic tumors (TOCs), predominantly with keratin and always with parakeratin areas. In the other cases (five dentigerous, five radicular and five residual cysts) there were erythrocytes, inflammatory cells, and cholesterol clefts. CONCLUSION: The cytological assessment through cell block technique was useful as to establishing the differential diagnosis between TOC and other lesions, radicular, residual and dentigerous cysts.

ABSTRACT

A matriz extracelular (MEC) pode ser definida como um complexo de proteínas e glicoproteínas que envolve as células nos mais diversos tecidos e tem papel importante na diferenciação e atividade celular, bem como no processo de mineralização e nos processos neoplásicos. Os componentes não colágenos da MEC têm sido abundantemente estudados, visando conhecer os minuciosos detalhes da biologia dos tecidos e assim entender os mecanismos envolvidos em suas patologias. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo estudar a expressão e distribuição dos seguintes componentes não colágenos da MEC dos tecidos dentais: biglican, decorin, fibromodulin, osteonectina (ONC), osteopontina (OPN), sialoproteína óssea (BSP) e osteocalcina (OCC) no ameloblastoma e no tumor odontogênico cístico calcificante (cisto de Gorlin). Para ta nto foi utilizada a técnica da imunoistoquímica, com o método da estreptavidina-biotina-peroxidase, e anticorpos contra as proteínas anteriormente citadas. Os resultados mostraram que o biglican, o decorin e a BSP foram expressos somente nas células epiteliais metaplásicas, nas células fantasmas e células fantasmas em processo de calcificação, no estroma dos ameloblastomas e no ectomesênquima neoplásico do tumor odontogênico cístico calcificante. Já o fibromodulin e a OCC foram predominantemente negativos no componente epitelial e no mesenquimal, com exceção para as células fantasmas, células fantasmas em processo de calcificação e áreas de hialinização próximas ao epitélio. A ONC foi positiva na maioria das células epiteliais, com exceção das células estrelárias dos ameloblastomas folicular e acantomatoso, e também no componente mesenquimal de ambas neoplasias. Já a OPN apresentou positividade somente nos focos de calcificação presentes no tumor odontogênico cístico calcificante. As proteínas estudadas apresentaram distribuição semelhante em neoplasias caracterizadas por padrões de crescimento diferentes, levando a crer que, apesar de partic...
