Prevalencia de lesiones bucales en tejido blando encontradas en la Clínica de Estomatología de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de los Andes: periodo 2015-2018 / Prevalence of oral lesions in soft tissue found in the Clinic of Stomatology of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of los Andes: 2015-2018 period

Introducción: La epidemiología sobre alteraciones en tejidos blandos bucales es limitada cuando se compara con caries, enfermedades periodontales y maloclusiones, por lo que su estudio representa un paso adelante en la odontología más allá de los dientes. Objetivo: Describir la prevalencia de las lesiones bucales en tejido blando encontradas en la Clínica de Estomatología de la Facultad de Odontología de la ULA, del 2015 al 2018, con la finalidad de proporcionar una fuente de datos actualizada, que oriente a una mejor prevención y oportuno diagnóstico. Material y métodos: Se realizó una investigación descriptiva, documental, retrospectiva y multivariable. Resultados: De 1,000 fichas clínicas estudiadas, las patologías más frecuentes fueron: lengua saburral (50.6%), queilitis (33.4%), traumatismo de la mucosa de los carrillos (27.6%), várices linguales (18.3%), anquiloglosia (13.7%) y agrandamiento de rugas palatinas (11.7%). La zona con mayor alteración fue la lengua (92.1%), mientras que el paladar fue la menos afectada (29%). De los hábitos predisponentes a la formación de lesiones, el mordisqueo de mucosa fue el más común (16.5%). En cuanto a los factores locales asociados, una higiene oral regular/ deficiente resultó el principal (53.8%). Conclusión: La educación del paciente sigue siendo considerada la clave para disminuir la aparición de patologías y su evolución a entidades más graves (AU)

Introduction: Epidemiological studies on soft tissue alterations in the mouth are limited when compared with caries, periodontal diseases and malocclusions, so their study represents a step forward in dentistry beyond the teeth. Objective: To describe the prevalence of soft tissue oral lesions found in the Stomatology Clinic of the ULA School of Dentistry, from 2015 to 2018, in order to provide an up-to-date data source, to guide better prevention and timely diagnosis. Material and methods: A descriptive and documentary, retrospective and multivariable research was carried out. The statistical package IBM SPSS Statistics v 23 was applied for the analysis. Results: 1,000 clinical records studied, the most frequent pathologies were: saburral tongue (50.6%), cheilitis (33.4%), traumatism of the cheek mucosa (27.6%), lingual varices (18.3%), ankyloglossia (13.7%) and enlargement of palatal rugas (11.7%). The tongue was the most affected (92.1%), while the palate was the least affected (29%). Of the predisposing habits to the formation of lesions, mucosal nipping was the most common (16.5%). Regarding the associated local factors, a regular / deficient oral hygiene was the main one (53.8%). Conclusion: Patient education is still considered the key to diminish not only the appearance of pathologies but their evolution to more serious entities (AU)

Prevalence and heritability of psoriasis and benign migratory glossitis in one Brazilian population

Abstract: Background: An oral condition associated to psoriasis is benign migratory glossitis. The review of the literature does not show any publication about heritability in both soriasis and benign migratory glossitis and prevalence of psoriasis in the Brazilian population. Objective: This research was carried out in order to determine the prevalence of psoriasis and benign migratory glossitis in the Brazilian population from a Brazilian sample, as well as the heritability in these conditions. Methods: Six thousand patients were studied from the records of the outpatient dermatology department. The sample had 129 patients with cutaneous psoriasis, 399 with benign migratory glossitis without psoriasis and a control group with 5,472 patients. After data collection, the statistical analysis was made using Woolf, Chi-square and Falconer tests. Results: The prevalence of psoriasis was 2.15% and the benign migratory glossitis was 7.0%. The prevalence of benign migratory glossitis in the psoriasis group was high (16.3%), and that was statistically significant. Family history in the psoriasis group was 38% for the condition itself and 2,75% for benign migratory glossitis and in the benign migratory glossitis group was 17.54% for the condition itself and 1.5% for psoriasis. The study of heritability was 38.8% for psoriasis and 36.6% for benign migratory glossitis, both with medium heritability. Study limitations: This study was only in the state of São Paulo. Conclusion: This is the first publication that quantifies how much of these conditions have a genetic background and how important the environmental factors are in triggering them.

Lesiones de la mucosa bucal en una población infantil de Montevideo, Uruguay / Oral mucosal lesions in a child population of Montevideo, Uruguay

Justificación: Existen escasos estudios que documenten la frecuencia de lesiones de la mucosa bucal en niños y adolescentes, y todos revelan resultados dispares.Materiales y método: Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo, transversal, en niños de 3 a 12 años de edad que participan del Programa de Salud Bucal de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Católica del Uruguay. Se tomaron en cuenta lesiones en la totalidad de la cavidad bucal, describiendo y registrando cada uno de los hallazgos. Se seleccionaron las 7 lesiones más frecuentes enla bibliografía consultada. Se realizó un análisis estadístico según edad, género y tipo de dentición.Resultados: Se estudiaron 191 sujetos; 103 presentaron alguna lesión. La lesión identificada con mayor frecuencia fue Morsicatio buccarum es decir, mordisqueo de mucosa yugal (trauma inflingido). La siguiente lesión más frecuente fue Lengua geográfica.Conclusiones: Las niñas tuvieron mayor probabilidad de presentar algún tipo de lesión que los niños. El rango de edades de 6-9 años tuvo mayor riesgo de presentar alguna lesión que el grupo de 9-12 años. Los sujetos con dentición mixta tuvieron más riesgo de presentarMorsicatio buccarum que el grupo de dentición permanente. Asimismo, los individuos de 6-9 años tuvieron mayores posibilidades de presentar Morsicatio buccarum que el grupo de 9-12 años. No se encontró un estudio epidemiológicamente comparable que describa las mismas lesiones que éste; esto lleva a concluir que es necesario realizar otros estudios con la misma metodología y ampliando los criterios diagnósticos.

Justification: There are few studies that document the frequency of oral mucosal lesions in children and adolescents, and all of them reveal different results.Materials and method: This was an observational, descriptive, transversal survey, in children between the ages of 3 and 12, that participate in the “Programa de Salud Bucal de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Católica del Uruguay”/ Oral Health Program of the Dentistry School of Uruguayan Catholic University. Lesions in the whole oral cavity were taken into account, describing and registering each one of the findings. The 7 lesions more frequent in the bibliography consulted were selected. A descriptive statisticalanalysis was made using the variables age, gender and dentition stages.Results: 191 children were examined; lesions were found in 103 children. Morsicatio buccarum, meaning the bitening of the cheek mucosa (self inflicted trauma), was the most common lesion. The second most frequent lesion was Geographic tongue. Conclusions: Girls had higher probability of presenting a lesion than boys. The age range between 6-9 had more risk of developing a lesion than the group ranging in age from 9-12. The children with mixed dentition had more risk of having Morsicatio buccarumthan the children with permanent dentition; and the children ranging in age from 6-9 had more probabilities of presenting Morsicatio buccarum than the children ranging 9-12. We could not find any other survey epidemiologically comparable that described the samelesions than ours. This leads to the conclussion that it is necessary to perform further studies with the same methodology and a wider range of diagnosis criteria.

prevalence of tongue abnormalities among the school children in Borazjan, Iran

Tongue is one of the most important organs in the oral cavity which has significant roles in different functions such as speaking, mastication, swallowing, breathing, etc. The tongue may be influenced by internal diseases sooner than other organs and also may be involved in some abnormalities that some are developmental and some of them are genetical and environmental. This study has been performed to measure the relative frequency of tongue anomalies in students in Borazjan city and to determine the relations of age and gender with these anomalies. With randomized stratified clustered sampling, 1540 students were selected from primary, guidance and high school. Then these students were examined. Examination was performed with the natural light in the quiet and relax condition. Lips and cheeks were retracted with abslang and disposable mirror. The results were analysed with chi-square statistic test in SPSS. The prevalence of all tongue anomalies was 34.3% [geographic tongue 4.8%, fissured tongue 11.8%, ankyloglossia 5%, median rhomboid glossitis 1.75%, and hairy tongue 0.8%]. The prevalence of tongue anomalies in this study is near to the results of some past studies but is different with some others. This study showed that tongue anomalies are more prevalent in males than in females but the difference between them was not statistically significant. This study also showed that the rate of tongue anomalies was not related with age

[Study of correlation of stress and geographic tongue lesion in patients referring to Isfahan Dentistry School]

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

Glositis migratoria benigna en relación con candida albicans / Bening migratory glossitis in relation with candida albicans

Realiza una revisión bibliografica a fin de detectar la incidencia de candida albicans en realción con la glositis migratoria benigna. Para el estudio fueron seleccionados 40 pacientes del sexo masculino y femenino con edades de 5 a 75 años, todos con lesión de glositis migratoria benigna. Se observó mayor porcentaje de dicha patología en mujeres (65 por ciento). Se concluyó que la causa que origina la glositis migratoria benigna es desconocida hasta la fecha, existen factores endogenos y exogenos que aceleran el período de aparición. Por otra parte, la herencia juega un papel importante en los pacientes afectados de glositis
