ABSTRACT

Las lesiones de la cavidad oral corresponden a un hallazgo frecuente y muchas veces difíciles de diagnosticar. Su correcto reconocimiento podría ser clave en detectar patologías que podrían cambiar el pronóstico del paciente. El objetivo de esta revisión es describir una clasificación de las lesiones de la cavidad oral que permita ayudar al diagnóstico en la práctica clínica. Para esto, se detallan y se describen las lesiones, orientando al diagnóstico y a la necesidad de biopsiar. Para simplificar la orientación diagnóstica, las lesiones se clasifican en 2 grandes grupos: tumorales y no tumorales. Las lesiones no tumorales se subdividen en lesiones de la mucosa oral y lesiones de la lengua.


Lesions of the oral cavity are frequent and often difficult to diagnose. However, correct recognition could change the patient's prognosis. This review aims to describe a classification of oral mucosa lesions, to help the diagnosis in clinical practice. The lesions are described for this, guiding the diagnosis and the need for biopsy. To simplify the diagnostic orientation, the lesions are classified into two groups: tumor and non-tumor lesions. Non-tumor lesions are subdivided into lesions of the oral mucosa and lesions of the tongue.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The study's objective was to present a case of diffuse chronic pain with 36 months of development, associated with recurrent oral aphthous ulcers and glossitis, highlighting the importance of the wide differential diagnosis and the possibility of vitamin B12 deficiency as a cause. CASE REPORT: Male patient, 39 years-old, white, reported diffuse pain predominantly in the cervical, thoracic, abdominal, thighs and left knee regions, besides the presence of frequent oral aphtae, lasting more than 5 days, multiple and painful, predominantly on the tongue, for 6 months. The condition was attributed to Behçet's disease, but there was complete and permanent remission after treatment with vitamin B12. CONCLUSION: It's important to insert vitamin B12 deficiency for differential diagnosis in chronic pain scenarios.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The mouth plays a critical role in the transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) owing to the fact that both the tongue and salivary glands are conducive environments for the storage and spread of the virus. This case series aimed to describe the oral manifestations of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and report the rapid response to Phtalox® treatment in all patients who tested positive for the virus. The patients were grouped based on whether according to convenience as soon as they tested positive for COVID-19. All patients had mouth ulcers and were advised to use 5 mL of Phtalox® mouthwash for 1 min, five times daily, in addition to standard COVID-19 treatment. Complete healing of mouth ulcers occurred in all patients diagnosed with COVID-19, and the mean duration for complete healing was 2.37 days. General improvement of COVID-19 symptoms was also observed. Based on the rapid recovery of mouth ulcers observed, we suggest that Phtalox® is effective as a complementary oral treatment for ulcers associated with COVID-19.


RESUMEN: La cavidad oral juega un papel fundamental en la transmisión del síndrome respiratorio agudo severo coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) debido al hecho de que tanto la lengua como las glándulas salivales son entornos propicios para el almacenamiento y la propagación del virus. Esta serie de casos tuvo como objetivo describir las manifestaciones orales de la enfermedad por coronavirus (COVID-19) e informar la rápida respuesta al tratamiento con Phtalox® en todos los pacientes que dieron positivo al virus. Los pacientes se agruparon en función de su conveniencia tan pronto como dieron positivo a COVID-19. Todos los pacientes tenían úlceras en la boca y se les recomendó utilizar 5 ml de enjuague oral Phtalox® durante 1 minuto, cinco veces al día, además del tratamiento estándar de COVID-19. La curación completa de las úlceras orales ocurrió en todos los pacientes diagnosticados con COVID-19, y la duración media para la curación completa fue de 2,37 días. También se observó una mejoría general de los síntomas de COVID-19. Con base en la rápida recuperación de las úlceras orales observadas, sugerimos que Phtalox® es eficaz como tratamiento oral complementario para las úlceras asociadas con COVID-19.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: relatar um caso de paracoccidioidomicose (Pbmicose), diagnosticado pelo cirurgião-dentista, e o tratamento instituído a um morador de zona urbana. Relato de caso: paciente do sexo masculino, com 59 anos de idade, leucoderma, compareceu à clínica odontológica com lesão em boca há cerca de vinte dias e queixa de mobilidade dental na região anteroinferior. Durante a anamnese, constatou-se dificuldade respiratória, hipertensão controlada, tabagismo e etilismo crônico. No exame físico, foi observado aumento de volume do lábio inferior, linfadenopatia bilateral submandibular e lesões ulceradas com aspecto moriforme em mucosa bucal e gengiva inserida do elemento 31 ao 45. Foi realizada biópsia incisional na lesão com resultado positivo para Pbmicose. O paciente foi medicado com itraconazol e apresenta-se periodicamente para acompanhamento. Considerações finais: as lesões bucais dessa doença correspondem a úlceras crônicas e granulomatosas, semelhantes à lesão provocada pelo carcinoma epidermoide oral, assim, o cirurgião-dentista deve conhecer esta micose e considerá-la na elaboração do diagnóstico diferencial. (AU)


Objective: to report a case of paracoccidioidomycosis (Pbmycosis) diagnosed by the dentist, as well as the treatment applied to a resident of an urban area. Case report: male patient, 59 years old, white, referred to the dental clinic with a lesion in the mouth of around 20 days and complaint of tooth mobility in the anteroinferior region. The anamnesis showed respiratory distress, controlled hypertension, and chronic smoking and alcoholism. The physical examination showed increased volume of the lower lip, bilateral submandibular lymphadenopathy, moriform ulcerated lesions in the buccal mucosa, and gum insertion from tooth 31 to 45. An incisional biopsy was performed on the lesion with a positive result for Pbmycosis. The patient was treated with itraconazole and he shows up periodically for follow-up. Final considerations: the oral lesions of this disease correspond to chronic and granulomatous ulcers, similar to the lesion caused by the oral squamous cell carcinoma, thus, the dentist should understand this mycosis and consider it when producing the differential diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: La sialometaplasia necrotizante (SN) es una rara enfermedad benigna, inflamatoria, autolimitante, que afecta más frecuentemente a las glándulas salivales menores y que comúnmente se asocia a las ubicadas en la porción más posterior del paladar duro. Su etiología no esta clara, la mayoría de los autores sugieren que una lesión química, física o biológica de los vasos sanguíneos produciría cambios isquémicos, que provocarían infarto del tejido glandular con necrosis, inflamación e intento de reparación. Clínicamente puede presentarse como una úlcera de márgenes irregulares, ligeramente elevados y lecho necrótico, mientras que histopatológicamente se caracteriza por presentar metaplasia escamosa de conductos y acinos e hiperplasia pseudoepiteliomatosa del epitelio mucoso. La similitud de sus características clínicas e histopatológicas con algunas lesiones glandulares malignas de la cavidad oral, puede resultar en tratamientos innecesarios, considerando que la SN se trata de una patología autoresolutiva, por lo que es fundamental realizar un correcto diagnóstico clínico e histopatológico para evitar tratamientos quirúrgicos mutilantes o innecesarios. En el presente trabajo se presenta un caso de una mujer joven, con diagnóstico de SN, con sus características clínicas, histopatológicas y la evolución de la lesión.


ABSTRACT: The Necrotizing Sialometaplazia (NS) it's a rare self-limiting, inflammatory, benign disease, that most frequently affects the minor salivary glands and it is commonly associated to the glands located at the most posterior portion of the hard palate. Its etiology is not clear. Most authors suggest that a chemical, physical or biological lesion of the blood vessels would produce ischemic changes, which lead to infarction of muscle tissue with necrosis, inflammation and attempts to repair. Clinically it can present as a slightly elevated ulcer with irregular edges and necrotic bed, while histopathologically it is characterized for present squamous metaplasia of ducts and acini and pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia of mucosal epithelium. The similarity of its clinical and histopathological characteristics with some malignant glandular lesions of the oral cavity, can result in unnecessary treatments, considering that NS is a self-sustaining pathology, it is therefore essential to perform a correct clinical and histopathological diagnosis to avoid mutilating or unnecessary surgical treatments. In the present work we present the case of a young woman, with diagnosis of NS, with its clinical and histopathological characteristics and the evolution of the lesion.

ABSTRACT

Las úlceras orales constituyen una de las urgencias en Estomatología, son lesiones inflamatorias de la mucosa bucal que poseen múltiples etiologías. Se presentó una paciente discapacitada, de nueve años de edad que acudió acompañada de sus padres a la Consulta de Urgencia de la Clínica Estomatológica Frank País del municipio Frank País, provincia Holguín, a los 24 días del mes de enero de 2014 presentando una úlcera oral de origen traumático, muy dolorosa de más menos 15,5 mm de diámetro y 5 mm de profundidad en paladar duro por pérdida dentaria y la consiguiente pérdida de la oclusión. Como tratamiento se le confeccionó una placa atraumática de acrílico con un ansa vestibular. El uso de esta placa permitió aislar la zona del trauma con el posterior alivio del dolor, cicatrización de la úlcera y restitución de la dimensión vertical oclusiva. Además, estimuló el brote dentario y la recuperación de la oclusión dentaria. La placa pasiva de acrílico con ansa vestibular se recomienda como una alternativa viable en situaciones similares.


Oral ulcers are one of the urgencies in stomatology; these are inflammatory injuries of oral mucous that have multiple etiologies. A clinical case of a disabled, female patient of nine years old was presented in this paper. The patient came with her parents to the emergency consulting room of Dental Clinic, Frank País municipality, Holguín province, on January, 2014 presenting an oral extremely painful ulcer of traumatic origin, extra less 15.5 mm of diameter and 5mm of depth in hard palate for dental loss and the decrease of the vertical occlusive dimension. A plate of acrylic with one vestibular hanse was made for the treatment. The use of this splint enabled the relief of the pain, cicatrization of the ulcer and the recuperation of the vertical occlusive dimension. This alternative is recommended in similar situations.

ABSTRACT

A mucosa bucal é uma das áreas mais traumatizadas do organismo, podendo apresentar úlceras traumáticas com frequência. São muitos os diferentes tipos de tratamento aos quais ambos profissionais e pacientes recorrem para tratar as lesões ulceradas, como por exemplo, as formulações à base de extratos de plantas e produtos naturais. A utilização de fitoterápicos tem uma longa história de sucessos, porém, o uso combinado de substâncias ainda apresenta escassa referência científica...


The oral mucosa is one of the human body areas most frequently traumatized and usually presents traumatic ulcers. There are different treatment choices among which both professionals and patients may follow in order to treat oral ulcerations, for instance, formulations from plants extract among other natural products. Theuse of phytotherapics has a long history of success, however the associated use of substances still has poor scientific background. The aroeira-do-sertão (Myracrondruon urundeva Allemão) and Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) have anti-ulcerogenic and anti-inflammatory proven activity when used as isolated substances and have been largely prescribed by health care professionals...

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that Arnica montana shows anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. It has been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of several disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Arnica montana on mast cells during the wound healing of oral ulcers. METHOD: An ulcerated lesion was chemically induced on the tongue of 75 male albino rats and, then, treated topically for seven days using saline solution (control), Arnica montana gel or tincture. The animals were killed after 2nd, 7th, 14th, 21th and 42th day of treatment. The tongues were removed and subjected to routine laboratory (0.2% toluidine blue staining). The numbers of mast cell were determined in two regions: superficial and submucosa. RESULTS: The numbers of mast cells were significantly increased for all groups in the region of the deeper tissue when compared to the superficial region. No statistical difference was observed in mast cell numbers for each group. CONCLUSION: This study revealed that Arnica montana tincture and gel were unable to change mast cell population during wound healing of oral ulcer of rats. According to these results, the anti-inflammatory effects of Arnica montana were not related to inhibition of mast cell degranulation.


OBJETIVO: Sabe-se que a Arnica montana mostra atividade anti-inflamatória e anti-oxidante e tem sido usada em medicina tradicional para o tratamento de vários distúrbios. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o efeito da Arnica montana em mastócitos durante a cicatrização de feridas de úlceras orais. MÉTODO: Uma úlcera foi quimicamente induzida na língua de 75 ratos albinos machos e, em seguida, tratada topicamente durante sete dias, utilizando solução salina (controle), gel ou tintura de Arnica montana. Os animais foram sacrificados após 2, 7, 14, 21 e 42º dia de tratamento. As línguas foram removidas e submetidas a rotina de laboratório (coloração com 0,2% de azul de toluidina). A densidade de mastócitos foi determinada em duas regiões: superficial e submucosa. RESULTADOS: O número de mastócitos aumentou nitidamente para todos os grupos na região mais profunda do tecido peri-ulceroso, quando comparada à região superficial. Nenhuma diferença estatística foi observada no número de mastócitos entre os grupos. CONCLUSÃO: Este estudo revelou que a tintura ou o gel de Arnica montana foram incapazes de interferir na população de mastócitos durante a cicatrização da úlcera oral de ratos. De acordo com estes resultados, os efeitos anti-inflamatórios de Arnica montana não foram relacionados à inibição da degranulação dos mastócitos.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Oral tuberculosis is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 2 billion people are infected with tuberculosis. Objective: To report a rare case of oral tuberculosis with ulcers at two different sites. Materials and methods: In order to emphasize the need to consider tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of non-healing ulcers of oral cavity and the role of oral physician in preventing the spread of such lesions, this article presents a case of oral ulcers at two different sites, diagnosed as tuberculosis ulcer. Results: Oral cavity, which is considered to be a mirror of systemic health, rarely manifests tuberculosis. With increasing number of tuberculosis cases and unusual form of the disease in the oral cavity, the cases are likely to be misdiagnosed. Conclusion: An oral clinician should have a thorough knowledge of tuberculosis and its oral manifestations.


Introdução: A tuberculose oral é uma doença granulomatosa crônica causada pelo Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), cerca de 2 bilhões de pessoas estão infectadas com tuberculose. Objetivo: Relatar um caso raro de tuberculose oral com úlceras em dois locais diferentes. Materiais e métodos: Para realçar a necessidade de considerar a tuberculose sob o diagnóstico diferencial das úlceras não curadas da cavidade oral e o papel do dentista na prevenção da propagação de tais lesões, este artigo apresenta um caso de úlceras orais em dois locais diferentes, diagnosticados como úlcera de tuberculose. Resultados: A cavidade oral, considerada como um espelho da saúde sistêmica, raramente manifesta a tuberculose. Com um número cada vez maior de casos de tuberculose e a forma não usual da doença na cavidade oral, os casos são frequentemente diagnosticados erroneamente. Conclusão: O dentista clínico geral deve ter um conhecimento profundo da tuberculose e de suas manifestações orais.
