ABSTRACT

The complexity of oral ulcerations poses considerable diagnostic and therapeutic challenges to oral specialists. The expert consensus was conducted to summarize the diagnostic work-up for difficult and complicated oral ulcers, based on factors such as detailed clinical medical history inquiry, histopathological examination, and ulceration-related systemic diseases screening. Not only it can provide a standardized procedure of oral ulceration, but also it can improve the diagnostic efficiency, in order to avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: Las úlceras orales (UO) son uno de los signos de toxicidad por metotrexato (Mtx) aún en pacientes con esquemas de dosis bajas para el control de artritis reumatoide (AR). En estos casos establecer un diagnóstico correlacionando UO con el medicamento puede ser un reto. Presentamos 2 casos clínicos de pacientes con AR en tratamiento con Mtx, las cuales desarrollaron UO. En los dos casos, interesantemente los pacientes fueron evaluados tanto por especialistas del área médica y oral sin tener un resultado satisfactorio después de múltiples tratamientos. Las UO resolvieron posterior a la suspensión del medicamento. Se estableció el diagnóstico de Estomatitis por Metotrexato (EMtx) por un especialista en medicina oral. El manejo multidisciplinario en estos casos es clave para el establecimiento de un diagnóstico y tratamiento oportuno.


ABSTRACT: Oral ulcers (OU) are a sign of methotrexate (Mtx) toxicity, even in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that are under a low-dose regime. In those cases, establishing a diagnosis correlating OU with the medication can be quite a challenge. Here we present 2 clinical cases of RA patients under Mtx treatment that developed OU. Interestingly, in both cases the patients were evaluated by two specialists in the medical and dentistry area, and following multiple treatments there was no satisfactory result. However, oral ulcers resolved after stopping the treatment. A diagnosis of Metotrexato stomatitis was established (SMtx) by a specialist in oral medicine. Multidisciplinary management in these cases is key for the establishment of an opportune diagnosis and treatment.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a topical mucoadhesive formulation with Curcuma longa L. extract (MFC) on oral wound healing. Methods: Seventy-two Wistar rats were randomly assigned to 3 groups: Control, Vehicle, and MFC. Traumatic ulcers were made on the dorsum of the tongue with a 3-mm diameter punch. Vehicle and MFC groups received application of the products twice a day, while animals in the control group were cared for in identical conditions but received no product application. Six rats in each group were euthanized at days 3, 5, 10, and 14. Percentage of repair was calculated based on wound area. HE-stained histological sections were obtained for semi-quantitative analysis of re-epithelization and inflammation. Results: Clinical findings revealed that at days 3 and 5, animals from the MFC group exhibited a significantly higher percentage of wound repair. At day 5, animals from this group also demonstrated a significant increase in the degree of re-epithelization and inflammation. Conclusions: MFC is capable of accelerating oral wound repair in an in vivo model by modulating the inflammatory process and stimulating epithelial proliferation. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Male patient, 19 years old, diagnosed with severe mixed tetraparesis, predominantly spastic, secondary to severe perinatal asphyxia, West syndrome and intellectual disability, GMFCS V. october 2012 presents a 1 cm white-colored and painless ulcer on the ventral surface of the tongue, showing indurated borders, and no signs of palpable lymph nodes, compatible with Riga-Fede disease. the patient is referred to the commune hospital. August 2013 attends a dental control presenting the ulcer with similar conditions, awaiting treatment from the hospital. April 2014 he returns for a health control in the same conditions. this time a non invasive intervention is performed, covering the incisal edges of teeth 3.1 and 4.1 with composite resin. A two weeks later control shows a smaller ulceration. By June 2015 the ulcer has healed completely, and stayed healed until january 2016. the mother reports decreased tongue protrusion in frequency and intensity since January 2015. Conclusion: Sublingual traumatic ulcer can be healed by eliminating the cause of the trauma, using a non invasive technique.

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

Objetivos: Descrever as características e os principais achados relatados na literatura quanto à provável etiologia e tratamentos das lesões causadas pela Estomatite Aftosa Recorrente (EAR). Métodos: Realizou-se a revisão da literatura nas bases de dados PubMed, SciELO e LILACS, no período de tempo do ano de 2005 a 2012. Utilizaram-se, isoladamente e em combinação, os descritores a seguir: Stomatitis, Aphthous; Oral Ulcer; Risk Factors e Therapeutics. Resultados: A patogênese da estomatite aftosa recorrente ainda continua indefinida, havendo confirmação científica quanto à sua relação com fatores imunológicos e mutações genéticas. Os procedimentos realizados e recursos utilizados para o tratamento das lesões são paliativos, no intuito de aliviar a dor, não existindo uma terapêutica de cura. Conclusão: Por ser a etiologia da EAR ainda incerta, o tratamento atual das lesões é bastante variado,e baseia-se no alívio dos sintomas da doença, variando, desde o uso de produtos naturais, como a própolis, passando por anti-inflamatórios, até à aplicação do laser de baixa potência.


Objectives: To describe the characteristics and key findings reported in the literature about the possible etiology and treatment of lesions caused by Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis (RAS). Methods: It was conducted a literature review in the databases PubMed, SciELO and LILACS, from 2005 to 2012. Were used singly or in combination, the following descriptors: Stomatitis, Aphthous; Oral Ulcer; Risk Factors and Therapeutics. Results: The pathogenesis of recurrent aphthous stomatitis still remains unclear, however, there is strong evidence regarding its relationship with immunological factors and genetic mutations. The procedures performed and resources used for the treatment of lesions are palliative in order to relieve pain, there is not a therapeutic healing. Conclusion: As the uncertain etiology of RAS, the current treatment of lesions is very wide, and relies on relieving symptoms of the disease, ranging from the use of natural products, such as propolis, to anti-inflammatories, until the implementation of low-power laser.

ABSTRACT

Traumatic ulceration of the ventral surface of the tongue is an uncommon condition in infants and toddlers, which is often associated with natal and neonatal teeth in newborns. The aim of this report is to present a case of bilateral ulcerative ulcers on the ventral surface of the tongue caused by the eruption of first primary mandibular molars in a 14-month-old male child. The child was able to point to the lesions and also refused to consume certain beverages and foods, which favored an early diagnosis. Clinical treatment consisted of manual smoothing of the sharp edges of both mandibular first molars and a home regimen of lidocaine hydrochloride solution (Xylocaine®, Astra) and a steroid solution of triamcinolone acetonide (Omcilon ­ A, Brystol-Myers) for symptoms relief and lesion healing, respectively. Complete healing of both lesions and normal feeding were both observed at a one-week follow-up exam. Early detection of the lesions and parental compliance with recommended home regimens were key factors for a successful treatment outcome, since untreated cases of tongue ulcerative lesions may evoke feeding difficulties and failure to thrive. Although there are several reports of ulcerative lesions on the tongue caused by dental eruption, they are usually associated with the eruption of mandibular primary incisors (Riga-Fede disease). However, there are no reports of ulcerative lesions caused by other primary teeth.


La ulceración traumática de la superficie ventral de la lengua es una condición poco común en bebés y niños pequeños, la cual se asocia a menudo con los dientes natales y neonatales en los recién nacidos. El objetivo de este reporte es presentar un caso de úlceras bilaterales en la superficie ventral de la lengua causada por la erupción de los primeros molares mandibulares temporales en un infante de sexo masculino de 14 meses de edad. En niño fue capaz de señalar las lesiones y se negó a consumir ciertas bebidas y alimentos, lo que favoreció un diagnóstico precoz. El tratamiento clínico consistió en el suavizado manual de los bordes afilados de los primeros molares inferiores y un régimen casero de solución de clorhidrato de lidocaína (Xilocaína®, Astra) junto a la solución esteroidal de acetónido de triamcinolona (Omcilon - A, Brystol-Myers) para el alivio de los síntomas y curación de la lesión respectivamente. La curación completa de ambas lesiones y la alimentación normal se observó en una semana del control de seguimiento. La detección temprana de las lesiones y el cumplimiento de los padres con los regímenes caseros recomendados, son factores claves para un resultado exitoso del tratamiento, ya que los casos no tratados de estas lesiones ulcerosas pueden provocar dificultades en la alimentación y una evolución inadecuada. Aunque existen varios informes de lesiones ulcerosas en la lengua causada por la erupción dental, que se asocian generalmente con la erupción de los incisivos mandibulares temporales (enfermedad de Riga-Fede). Sin embargo, no existen informes de lesiones ulcerosas causadas por otros dientes temporales.

ABSTRACT

Dentes natais são aqueles presentes na cavidade oral ao nascimento de etiologia desconhecida. Um ou dois dentes aparecem comumente na mandíbula (região de incisivos inferiores) podendo causar a doença de Riga-Fede, caracterizada por uma úlcera no ventre da língua relacionada ao trauma devido à presença desses dentes precoces, interferindo na alimentação da criança. Paciente HNS, dois meses de idade, gênero feminino, foi levado pela mãe à clínica de Odontopediatria, pois não conseguia mais se alimentar (mamar no seio materno). Realizou-se uma completa anamnese, na qual a mãe relatou a presença de dentes na cavidade oral do lactente, desde o nascimento, e de uma úlcera na língua. Ao exame clínico, observaram-se dois dentes na região de incisivos inferiores e a úlcera de Riga-Fede. Ao exame radiográfico constatou-se que os mesmos não eram supranumerários, e sim os dentes 71 e 81. Optou-se por mantê-los, já que eram os decíduos e estavam bem implantados. O tratamento preconizado foi o desgaste das incisais dos dentes com disco de Soflex® (3M ESPE, St Paul, Mn, USA) seguido de aplicação de verniz de flúor; prescrição de V.A.S.A. na úlcera, antes das mamadas e Oncilon A® (B-MF, São Paulo, Brasil) em orabase três vezes ao dia, por quatro dias. Dez dias após, a criança retornou para acompanhamento, a úlcera desapareceu e a abordagem mostrou-se indicada e eficaz.


Natal teeth are those present in the oral cavity at birth with unknown etiology. Generally, one or two teeth can appear in the mandibular incisor region and lead to Riga-Fede disease, which is characterized by an ulcer on the ventral surface of the tongue caused by the trauma due to this early tooth, affecting the child´s ability to suckle. Patient HNS, a two-month-old female, was taken by her mother to a pediatric dental clinic because she could not suckle. A complete interview was done, in which mother reported the presence of teeth in the child´s oral cavity and an ulcer on the tongue. Clinical examination revealed two teeth in the mandibular central incisor region and Riga-Fede disease. Radiographs revealed that those teeth were not supranumerary, but teeth 71 and 81. It was decided that they would remain in the oral cavity since they were the deciduous teeth and were well implanted. Treatment consisted of rounding the incisal edges of the teeth with a Sof-Lex® (3M ESPE, St Paul, Mn, USA) disc, followed by application of a fluorine varnish. Additionally, V.A.S.A. should be applied on the ulceration before breastfeeding and Orabase Oncilon A® (B-MF, São Paulo, Brasil) given three times a day for four days. Ten days later, the child returned for a follow-up visit. The ulcer had disappeared and the approach proved to be indicated and efficient.

ABSTRACT

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) consists of a group of genetic hereditary disorders in which patients frequently present fragile skin and mucosa that form blisters following minor trauma. More than 20 subtypes of EB have been recognized in the literature. Specific genetic mutations are well characterized for most the different EB subtypes and variants. The most common oral manifestations of EB are painful blisters affecting all the oral surfaces. Dental treatment for patients with EB consists of palliative therapy for its oral manifestations along with typical restorative and periodontal procedures. The aim of this article is to describe two dental clinical treatments of recessive dystrophic EB cases and their specific clinical manifestations. The psychological intervention required during the dental treatment of these patients is also presented.

ABSTRACT

Las úlceras orales recurrentes (UOR), son lesiones inflamatorias frecuentes de la mucosa oral. Generalmente, son redondas u ovaladas, rodeadas por un halo eritematoso de fondo amarillo grisáceo y dolorosas en su mayoría. Las UOR alcanzan una frecuencia de hasta 20% en la población general, afectando a cualquier grupo etario, en especial a adolescentes y adultos jóvenes. La etiopatogenia de las UOR no está completamente dilucidada; algunos factores involucrados incluyen alteraciones inmunológicas, infecciones, déficit nutricional, traumas de la mucosa, alergia alimentaria y de contacto, enfermedades autoinmunes y neo-plasias; junto con factores psiquiátricos, genéticos y medioambientales. En el presente artículo se discuten las características clínicas, factores etiológicos, diagnósticos diferenciales y el estudio de las UOR.


Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS), are common inflammatory lesions of the oral mucous, usually round or ovoid, circumscribed by an erytematous haloes with a yellow-grey floor and mostly painful. The RAS has reach an incidence about 20% in general population, present on any aged group, especially adolescents and young adults. Etiopathogenesis of RAS is not entirely understood. Some factors involved include immune system anomalies, infections, nutritional deficiency, mucous traumatism, food or contact allergy, autoimmunity illness and cancer; together with psychiatric, genetic and environment agents. In this article, main clinical features, etiology related factors, differential diagnosis and initial study of patients consulting for RAS are presented.

ABSTRACT

Nosso objetivo foi avaliar os efeitos terapêuticos da própolis em ulcerações aftosas recorrente (UAR) do tipo minor em relação ao número de lesões, duração e freqüência das lesões. Setenta pacientes com UAR compuseram o grupo estudado que foi examinado conforme critério de inclusão pré-estabelecido. Quarenta pacientes que apresentavam UAR (idade média de 38,5 anos; 25 mulheres e 15 homens) foram selecionados e medicados durante os episódios recorrentes de UAR utilizando-se uma solução de própolis a 5% tendo o propilenoglicol como veículo. Os pacientes foram orientados a aplicar topicamente a solução três vezes ao dia, a partir dos primeiros sinais clínicos de UAR pelo período de um ano. Foi observada uma redução estatisticamente significante no número, freqüência e duração das lesões (p≤ 0,01). A solução de própolis utilizada como terapia das UAR nesse estudo não apresentou efeitos adversos e se mostrou benéfica no tratamento das ulcerações aftosas recorrentes.

ABSTRACT

El dolor orofacial generalmente tiene su origen en lesiones endoperiodontales; sin embargo, otras causas deben considerarse para establecer un diagnóstico preciso y un tratamiento efectivo. En el año 1994, publicamos una guía diagnóstica(1) basada en la información clínica referida en la literatura con la cual pretendíamos definir los padecimientos dolorosos orofaciales que podrían presentarse en el consultorio dental. Se presenta ahora esta guía actualizada, y se describe el tratamiento indicado que dicta la literatura internacional
