Assessment of the oral microbiome in the development of recurrent oral aphthae in patients with gastrointestinal pathology

Chronic recurrent oral aphthae in residents living in an ecologically unfavourable region are characterized by a permanent course and prolonged recovery processes of regeneration of pathological elements of the oral mucosa. Using the microbiological method and modern test systems, it has been found that on the surface of aphthae an extremely diverse state of the oral microbiota is determined and its types are diverse. Trigger mechanisms have been determined. The role of representatives of various types of microorganisms - enterococci, staphylococci, streptococci, yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida (C. albicans) and obligate-anaerobes in the development of recurrent oral aphthae has been established. The data obtained can serve as an indication for the development of modern treatment and preventive measures regarding this category of patients.

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis / Шинэ санаа Шинэ нээлт

@#Aphthae are common oral lesions that affect approximately 10% to 20% of the population. Recurrent Aphthous Ulcers (RAU) are usually classified into three different types: minor, major and herptiform RAU. The etiology of aphthous stomatitis is unknown but according to increasing evidence, its development has an immunogenic process that causes the ulceration of the involved oral mucosa. Similar-appearing lesions may arise in following systemic disorders: 1. Behcet’s disease 2. Sweet’s syndrome 3. Cyclic neutropenia 4. Benign familial neutropenia 5. MAGIC syndrome 6. A periodic syndrome with fever and pharyngitis 7. Various nutritional deficiencies with or without underlying gastrointestinal disorders Several studies from the UK, United States, and Spain have demonstrated that hematinic deficiency (iron, folic acid, or vitamin B12) are twice as common in RAS patients than incontrols. Case report: A 10 year old male patient presented a 3-year history of episodes of multiple minor recurrent Ulcers, this year major aphthae on the anterior ventral surface of the soft palate. Patient had difficulty in eating and in speech. Clinical examination revealed multiple symptomatic ulcers with a perilesional erythematous halo covered with a pseudomembrane. The size of major aphthae was than 20 mm in diameter. The ulcers were not associated with any type of discharge. The ulcers were tender on palpation. The medical history and the family history were non-contributory. A clinical diagnosis of major aphthous ulcers was made on the basis of the history and the clinical examinations. The patient was subjected to a therapeutic regimen consisting of daily topical application of Prednizoloni 0.05%, topical lidoksor and systemic vitamin and Cefatoxime Natrii, Immunomodulators Biferon, Amphotericin B. Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) or recurrent aphthous ulcers (RAU) remains a common oral mucosal disorder in most communities of the world. Proper systemic evaluation is important before prescribing the medication.

Manifestaciones bucales relacionadas con el diagnóstico de enfermedades reumáticas / Oral manifestations related to the diagnosis of rheumatic diseases

Introducción: las enfermedades reumáticas se caracterizan por presentar una amplia gama de manifestaciones sistémicas. Sin duda alguna, la cavidad bucal es asiento de muchas de ellas, que incluso llegan a formar parte de los criterios diagnósticos de estas enfermedades. Objetivo: exponer las consideraciones sobre la relación existente entre afecciones bucales y enfermedades reumáticas. Métodos: se realizó una revisión sobre la relación entre afecciones reumáticas y manifestaciones bucales en Internet. La búsqueda abarcó artículos publicados en los últimos 5 años. Se evaluaron revistas de impacto de la Web of Sciencies, Scopus, Redalyc y Latindex relacionadas con el tema (37 revistas). Se consultaron las bases de datos de sistemas referativos, como MEDLINE, PubMed y SciELO con la utilización de varios descriptores tanto en inglés como en español. Se incluyeron artículos en idioma inglés, portugués y español. Se obtuvieron 77 artículos, se circunscribió el estudio a 49 que enfocaron esta temática de manera más integral. La revista que mayor representatividad del tema tuvo fue la Revista Cubana de Reumatología con 24,67 por ciento del total de artículos, el resto de las revistas se comportaron de manera uniforme. Análisis e integración de la información: existe estrecha relación entre las enfermedades bucales y las afecciones reumáticas. En ocasiones, las manifestaciones bucales constituyen criterios diagnósticos de las enfermedades reumáticas; las úlceras bucales, la xerostomía, la gingivitis y la afectación de la articulación temporomandibular son las de mayor incidencia. Conclusiones: las manifestaciones bucales pueden ser expresión del desorden reumático, pero también pueden inducir su aparición o ser los causantes de su descompensación. La presencia de procesos infecciosos así como la utilización de medicamentos con acción inmunosupresora y/o inmunomoduladora, son elementos que refuerzan aun más esta relación(AU)

Introduction: rheumatic diseases are characterized by a wide range of systemic manifestations. The oral cavity is home to many of these manifestations, which may even constitute diagnostic criteria for those diseases. Objective: describe the relationship existing between oral disorders and rheumatic diseases. Methods: a review was conducted on the Internet about the relationship between rheumatic diseases and oral manifestations. The search included papers published in the last five years. An evaluation was performed of high impact journals from the Web of Sciences, Scopus, Redalyc and Latindex which dealt with the subject (37 journals). Databases from reference systems such as MEDLINE, PubMed and SciELO were consulted with the aid of various search terms in English and Spanish. The papers included were in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Of the 77 papers obtained, the reviewers selected the 49 which approached the study subject in a more comprehensive manner. The journal with the highest presence of the topic was the Cuban Journal of Rheumatology, with 24.67 percent of the total papers. The remaining papers were evenly distributed among the other journals. Data analysis and integration: there is a close relationship between oral diseases and rheumatic conditions. Oral manifestations sometimes constitute diagnostic criteria for rheumatic diseases. Among the most common of these are mouth ulcers, xerostomia, gingivitis and temporomandibular joint disorders. Conclusions: oral manifestations may be the expression of rheumatic disorders, but they may also induce their emergence or be responsible for their decompensation. The presence of infectious processes, as well as the use of drugs with an immunosuppressive and/or immunomodulatory action, may further strengthen this relationship(AU)

Estomatitis aftosa recidivante: Conducta odontológica / Recurrent apthous stomatitis: Dentist behaviour

En la cavidad bucal se pueden producir una variedad de enfermedades de diferente etiología, por ello es muy importante que el odontólogo las identifique y conozca las consecuencias que ocasiona si no se previenen o tratan a tiempo. Se funda como premisa que el cuidado periodontal es, en esencia, labor del odontólogo general y que éste no puede pasar por alto la responsabilidad de proveer atención a todos los pacientes. La incidencia excesivamente alta de los problemas periodontales entre las población, dificulta que un número reducido de especialistas los pueda enfrentar. Asimismo, el estrecho vínculo entre los tratamientos dentales restaurativos y los regímenes periodontales hace muy importante que el odontólogo general disponga de conocimientos a fondo sobre periodoncia. Entre las variedades de entidades patológicas con predilección con la cavidad bucal humana de presentación frecuente, están las ulceraciones bucales recidivantes, llamadas comúnmente aftas. Actualmente, la estomatitis aftosa recidivante, se reconoce como la enfermedad más común de la mucosa bucal conocida en el humano. Constituye una de las urgencias en Odontología es una forma de ulceración que se caracteriza por la aparición de una o más ulceras dolorosas con pérdida de la continuidad del epitelio, variable en forma, número y tamaño. Cura en pocos días, semanas o meses dependiendo de los factores de riesgo que la desencadenen. Los ataques pueden repetirse periódicamente. Es importante que el odontólogo, las identifique, así como las consecuencias que ocasiona si no se tratan a tiempo, así como las complicaciones. El propósito de este reporte es describir las diferentes presentaciones clínicas de dicha patología, su etiología, diagnósticos diferenciales y diferentes métodos de tratamiento, además de la interconsulta con diferentes áreas, para valorar sus complicaciones y cuidados postoperatorios

A variety of different etiologies pathologies can affect the oral cavity, due to this reason, dentists must be able to identify them and their consequences if they are not treated on time. It is primordial for the general practitioner dentists the periodontal care of their patients. Among the population the periodontal diseases are very common and only a reduced number of specialists can treat them. The close relation between restorative dental treatments and periodontal treatment procedures lead to the tendency that de general practitioner has enough knowledge in the periodontal field. Among the variety of pathologic entities that affect the oral mucosa, that presents as ulcer and are really recurrent is the aphtous stomatitis in its different types. Actually the recurrent aphtous stomatitis is recognized, as the most common oral mucosa disease at the human beings. It is considered one of the emergencies in dentistry, and appear as one or multiple, different shapes o sizes, painful ulceration, due to the lost of epithelium. They cure in days, weeks or month upon of its type and etiologic factor. Recurrences may be periodically. Dentist must be able to recognize and treat them. The purpose of this research is to describe the possible etiologic agents, clinical features and treatment of this disease and also to recommend the multidisciplinary attention to these patient. For this paper was made a study based on the lineaments of the descriptive documental research, mainly with scientific bibliographic references literature national and international

The relationship between recurrent aphthae and immunologic reaction on Helicob acter pylori infection / 实用口腔医学杂志

Objetive:To investigate the relationship between recurre nt aphthae and immunologic reaction on Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) i nfection. Methods: The dental plaque was collected and the blood serum were extracted from 107 patients with recurrent aphthae and 99 he althy individuals. H. pylori infection was detected by urease test, and the antibody to H. pylori was detected by ELISA assay. Results: In the dental plaque the detectable rate of H. pylori was 53.3% in t he patients and 32.3% in the controls (P0.05). The quantitative analysis showed that the level of anti-H . pylori antibody (?g/ml) in the controls,the patients with light recurrent a phthae and those with severe was 17.69?4.41,29.30?8.24 and 41.75? 9.73 res pectively (P
