ABSTRACT
Glossite migratória benigna, ou, língua geográfica, é uma desordem inflamatória assintomática de etiologia desconhecida que afeta o epitélio da língua. É diagnosticada clinicamente pela perda de papilas filiformes de maneira localizada e pelo aparecimento e remissão dessas perdas de modo migratório. Na maioria dos casos, não há necessidade de recorrer a um tratamento, no entanto, na presença de incômodos, analgésicos podem ser indicados. O objetivo deste estudo é trazer informações sobre o tema retratando suas peculiaridades e importância de conhecimento clínico(AU)
Benign migratory glossitis, or, geographic tongue, is an asymptomatic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology that affects the tongue epithelium. It is diagnosed clinically by the loss of filiform papillae in a localized way and by the appearance and remission of these losses in a migratory way. In most cases, there is no need to resort to a treatment, however, in the presence of discomfort, analgesics may be indicated. The objective of this study is to bring information about the theme portraying its peculiarities and importance of clinical knowledge(AU)

O presente estudo teve por objetivo investigar a relaÆo entre psor¡ase e algumas manifestaães bucais consideradas comuns, principalmente a l¡ngua geogr fica. Foi realizado um estudo epidemiol¢gico, caracterizado como uma pesquisa transversal observacional anal¡tica. Foram examinados clinicamente 39 pacientes, subdivididos em dois grupos, sendo os portadores de l¡ngua geogr fica (Grupo 1) e psor¡ase (Grupo 2). Os resultados foram analisados por meio de an lise estat¡stica descritiva. A partir da amostra analisada, pde-se concluir que uma relaÆo entre a l¡ngua geogr fica e o aparecimento da psor¡ase incerta. Por outro lado, observou-se que a prevalncia da l¡ngua geogr fica em pacientes com psor¡ase foi consideravelmente maior que numa populaÆo normal
This epidemiological study has investigated the association of psoriasis to common oral conditions, especially geographic tongue. Thirty-nine patients were examined in this crosssectional analytical observational research. The patients were divided into two groups: patients presenting geographic tongue (Group 1) and patients affected by psoriasis (Group 2). The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. An unclear association between geographic tongue and the occurrence of psoriasis was observed in this study. However, the prevalence of geographic tongue in patients with psoriasis was significantly higher than its frequency in a normal population

Introdução - A língua desempenha importantes funções na mastigação, deglutição, gustação e fala. Alterações nesse órgão, como sinal de desordens no organismo, são muito valorizadas clinicamente, uma vez que várias doenças sistêmicas podem estar associadas. O objetivo deste estudo é realizar um perfil epidemiológico,retrospectivo, de seis alterações linguais presentes em pacientes assistidos no projeto de extensão de Estomatologia intitulado: Diagnóstico, tratamento e epidemiologia das doenças da cavidade bucal (Lebu), na Clínica Odontológica da Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM), entre o período de 1995 a 2010 e averiguar a relação destas alterações linguais com portadores de prótese e/ou hábitos nocivos. Material e métodos Realizou-se uma pesquisa retrospectiva na Clínica de Estomatologia doDepartamento de Odontologia da UEM, entre o período de 1995 a 2010, utilizando-se de 2176 prontuários de pacientes assistidos e biopsiados no projeto de extensão Lebu. Resultados - Dos prontuários analisados, 132 pacientes (6,06%) apresentavam algum tipo de alteração lingual. Do número total de pacientes com alterações de língua 72% apresentavam uma associação de lesões sobrepostas. Um total de 38,6% dos pacientes fazia uso de prótese, havendo correlação estatisticamente significante entreo uso de prótese e glossodinia. O uso do tabaco e/ou álcool foi visto em 35,60% dos pacientes, sendo sua relação estatisticamente significante com o desenvolvimento da língua saburrosa e língua pilosa negra. Conclusões Dentre as alterações de língua estudadas a de maior prevalência foi a língua geográfica. A faixa etária de predileçãofoi a quarta década de vida. A prevalência da língua saburrosa e língua pilosa negra apresentou relação com os pacientes usuários de álcool e tabaco.
Introduction - The tongue plays an important role in chewing, swallowing, taste and speech. Alterations in this organ as a sign of disorders in the body, are highly valued clinically, since many systemic diseases may be associated. The aim of this study is an epidemiological, retrospective six tongue alterations present in patients from the Extension Project of Stomatology titled Diagnosis, treatment and epidemiology of diseases of the oral cavity (LEBU) in the Dental Clinic, State University of Maringá, between the period from 1995 to 2010 and the investigate the relationship of these tongue alterations with prostheses and/or harmful habits.Material and methods A retrospective study at the Clinic of Stomatology, Department of this University was held between the period 1995 to 2010, using the 2176 records of patients assisted and biopsied in the extension project LEBU. Results 132 patients (6.06%) had some type of the tongue alterations. The total number of patients with tongue alterations (N = 132), 72% had a combination of overlapping lesions. Total of 38.6% of patients used a prosthesis, there was a statistically significant correlation between the use of prosthesis and glossodynia. In relation to tobacco addiction and / or alcohol abuse, 35.60% of patients had some type of addiction, and tobacco useand / or alcohol use was statistically significant for coated tongue and black hairy tongue. Conclusions - Among the tongue alterations studied the most prevalent was the geographic tongue. The age of predilection was the fourth decade of life. The prevalence of coated tongue and black hairy tongue patients were related to the usersof alcohol and tabacco.

Geographic tongue is an inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology that affects the epithelium of the tongue. It has been associated with several cutaneous diseases. To determine the prevalence of geographic tongue and its association with other cutaneous diseases in patients referred to the dermatology clinic of Razi Hospital .A cross-sectional study was performed on all patients referred to one of the dermatology clinics of Razi Hospital between February 21 and March 18, 1996 to determine the prevalence of geographic tongue and other diseases. One-thousand and one-hundred and sixty referred patients were studied. The prevalence of geographic tongue was 6.2%. There was a statistically significant association between geographic tongue and seborrheic dermatitis [P=0.0053]. Geographic tongue is associated with some cutaneous diseases. Detection of these associations could be a clue to the etiology and pathogenesis of geographic tongue

Geographic tongue lesion or benign migratory glossitis is a lesion with prevalence of 1-3% that involves all age and sex groups. Etiology of this lesion is unknown, but some references have pointed out to relationship of stress and this lesion. The aim of this study is to introduce stress as one of the factors in geographic tongue incidence. This research was of a case-control type and our sample in case group included 30 patients affected with geographic tongue lesion which visited Isfahan Dental School department of oral medicine. These patients were randomly selected from men and women. Patients were explained about importance of this disease and diagnosis of it. Standard stress meter questionnaire of Klementz and Roberts was completed by patients and witness group and information was analyzed statistically by T-test. Witness groups were selected from fellows or family members of patients because of similarities in circumstances between two groups. Information gathered from questionnaire showed that average stress number in case group was 386 and in witness group 3032. T-test showed significant difference between stress number of two groups. Average age in case group was 32 years and witness group 42 years, and this difference was significant, But geographic tongue didn't have significant correlation with sex, educational degree, income, number of children, time spent on studying and place of residence. Nowadays, Psychosomatic diseases are very important. Based on the results of this research, it seems that stress is a significant factor in causing geographic tongue. Although, stress is not the only etiologic factor in causing geographic tongue, but its role as psychologic factor cannot be denied
