ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: We compare the results of delay in oral cancer diagnosis before and after a campaign directed toward dentists and raising awareness of the population to achieve early diagnosis of oral cancer in Córdoba, Argentina. The campaign included training dentists in diagnostic skills and a public awareness program through media and networks. STUDY DESIGN: Clinical records (period 1: before intervention program, n = 70; period 2: after intervention program, n = 60) of patients presenting with oral squamous cell carcinoma treated in 2 referral centers were analyzed. Records included first symptoms, first consultation with a health professional, and the time when treatment was formulated. RESULTS: Oral cancer diagnosis at early stages increased from 27% (period 1) to 40% (period 2). Biopsy at first consultation was indicated in 6% of patients in period 1 and in 23.3% in period 2 (odds ratio = 4.68; 95% confidence interval, 1.87-11.73; P < .05). Professional delay at early stage decreased from 72% in period 1 to 36.8% in period 2. During period 1, for initial stage cancer, the average patient and professional delays were 2.7 and 2.9 months, respectively (P = .06); in period 2, patient delay was 2.67 months and professional delay was 1.34 months (P = .005). CONCLUSION: The intervention program helped to improve early-stage diagnosis from 27% to 40% by reducing professional delays.

ABSTRACT

La sífilis es una infección de transmisión sexual (ITS) curable, causada por una bacteria llamada Treponema pallidum. Es de transmisión sexual y vertical en el embarazo. Esta patología se presenta en diferentes estadios, y cada uno se manifiesta con lesiones bucales particulares. El objetivo del presente trabajo es caracterizar las diversas manifestaciones clínicas en el período secundario aportando con imágenes propias de la experiencia en la práctica diaria. Esta etapa secundaria se expresa con gran variabilidad y multiplicidad de lesiones, lo que desorienta y crea dificultades a lahora del diagnóstico. Es de interés también actualizar el conocimiento a los profesionales de la salud y al odontólogo general sobre las pruebas serológicas que lo ayudarán a complementar y confirmar el diagnóstico de certeza.


Syphilis is a curable sexually transmitted disease (STD), caused by a bacterium called Treponema pallidum.It is transmitted sexually and vertically in pregnancy. This pathology occurs in different stages, andeach of them manifests particular oral lesions.The objective of the present article is to characterize the various clinical manifestations in the secondary period contributing with images of the experience in daily practice. This secondary stage expresses great variability and multiplicity of lesions, which is disorienting and creates difficulties when it comes to diagnosis.It is also of interest to update the knowledge for health professionals and general dentists on the serological tests that will help to complement and confirm the firm diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

Etários de adultos voluntarios sanos, para analizar el efecto de dos colutorios sobre el pH salival y relacionarlo con la edad la capacidad buffer y el flujo salival. Se utilizaron dos marcascomerciales de colutorios (MW), ListerineCoolMint® (MWa) y eriobacter® (MWb). Primero se caracterizó la saliva sin estimular de cada individuo, se le midió el volumen minuto, el pH y la capacidad buffer. El pH salival se evaluó antes del buche con cada MW, inmediatamente después del enjuague bucal, 5 minutos después y luego cada 10 minutos (a los 15,25, 35 min) hasta que el pH inicial se recuperó. Para el análisis estadístico de los datos se utilizaron: ANOVA en bloque,test t apareado y el test de correlación de Pearson. Al caracterizar la saliva, se obtuvieron los siguientes valores promedio: 0.63 mL/min, 7.06 y 0.87 de volumen minuto,pH, y capacidadbuffer. Luego del enjuague se observó un incremento inmediato y significativo del pH salival alcanzando valores de 7.24 (MWb) y 7.30 (MWa) para descender a un valor estable luegode 15 minutos. El importante incremento del pH salival luego del uso del colutorio, muestra que la saliva es un sistema dinámico y que el organismo es capaz de responder a estímulos con cambios en su composición. Se hace evidente que el pH del agente externo, no es un buen indicador de su potencialerosivo sobre los elementos dentarios ya que los sistemas biológicos tienden a neutralizarlo. Los presentes resultadosponen de manifiesto la importancia de las mediciones en vivo y refuerzan el concepto de la función protectora de la saliva...

ABSTRACT

UNLABELLED: Malignant neoplasm (MN) mortality worldwide ranks among the first four causes of death, in the 1990 decade (1-4). The aim of this work is to study the eight most frequent MN mortality rates, and especially that one caused by oral cancer (OC) in the province of Cordoba, Argentine Republic, in the period between 1975 and 2000, in order to analyze its characteristics and compare with other populations in America and Europe. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The data were provided by the provincial and national Health Ministry and Globocan 2000. RESULTS: The highest male rates were those of Slovakia and France, prevailing lung and bronchus tumors; whereas in females the highest rate was that of breast cancer in the United Kingdom and Germany, and lung cancer in the United States. Regarding to OC in the populations under study, Slovakia and France held the highest rates for both sexes, being Cordoba and Argentina among the lowest values, especially in women. Tongue was the most frequent site in Cordoba (43.5%), followed by salivary glands (23.7%). Male prevailed over female and the oldest ages were observed in the period 1995-2000. The mortality rates by MN in all sites increased 6.6% in both sexes, and by OC 77% in women within the period under study in Cordoba. Oral cancer is a serious problem for public health causing great morbidity and mortality, a situation that has not improved in decades. Mortality rates are an important tool towards implementation and planning of health policies and programs for cancer prevention.

ABSTRACT

A nivel mundial la mortalidad por neoplasias malignas (NM), figura entre las cuatro primeras causas de muerte en la década del 90 (1-4). El objetivo del presente trabajo, es estudiar la tasa de mortalidad por las ocho NM más frecuentes y especialmente por cáncer bucal (CB) en la provincia de Córdoba, República Argentina en el período 1975-2000, analizar sus características y compararla con la de otras poblaciones de América y Europa. Material y Métodos: los datos se obtuvieron del Ministerio de Salud de Córdoba y Argentina y de Globocan 2000. Resultados: en el sexo masculino se observó que los países con más alta tasa fueron Eslovaquia y Francia, siendo los Tumores más prevalentes los de pulmón y bronquios. En las mujeres el Reino Unido, Alemania y EEUU fueron los países con tasa más alta y el Tumor más frecuente fue el de mama, excepto en EEUU donde el de pulmón lo antecede. En relación al CB en las poblaciones estudiadas, Eslovaquia y Francia fueron los países con tasa más alta para ambos sexos, estando los valores de Córdoba y Argentina entre los más bajos, especialmente en mujeres. En Córdoba la lengua fue el sitio más frecuente (43,5%), seguido de glándulas salivales mayores (23,7%); predominó el sexo masculino y las edades promedio más altas se observaron en el período 1995-2000. Al analizar el comportamiento de las tasas de mortalidad se destacó que las NM en ambos sexos en Córdoba aumentaron el 6,6%, y la mortalidad por CB en mujeres se incrementó un 77% en el período estudiado. El CB es un serio problema de salud pública que causa gran morbilidad y mortalidad no habiendo mejorado en décadas. Las tasas de mortalidad son un instrumento importante para la diagramación de políticas y programas de salud orientados a la prevención del cáncer

ABSTRACT

The aim of the present paper was to evaluate the effect of fenticonazole and to compare it with that of ketoconazole and nystatin in the topical treatment of oral chronic candidosis. Eighty patients diagnosed with erythematous chronic candidosis were divided into four groups, according to the cream they were provided with 3% fenticonazole, 2% fenticonazole, 100000UI nystatin, and 2% ketoconazole in orabase respectively. A clinical assessment was made at 7, 15, 30 and 45 days. Fifty-one of them finished the trial. ANOVA, Kruskall Wallis and Wilcoxon tests were applied for statistical analysis. There was a significative decrease of the oral lesions in all groups (p 0.0001). The remission grade was also analysed according to the localisation: lesions in the buccal mucosa and in the comissure all the patients achieved complete resolution, whereas tongue and palate lesions showed a significative decrease in all the treatments (p 0.00001). Fenticonazole proved to be as effective as nystatin and ketoconazole in topical treatment of oral candidosis.

ABSTRACT

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar el efecto del fenticonazol en el tratamiento tópico de las candidosis crónicas bucales y compararlo con el del ketoconazol y la nistatina. Se incluyeron ochenta pacientes con candidosis crónica eritematosa, de los cuales cincuenta y uno finalizaron la prueba. Fueron divididos en cuatro grupos a los cuales se les administró: fenticonazol al 3 por ciento, fenticonazol al 2 por ciento, nistatina 100000 UI y ketoconazol al 2 por ciento, en orabase respectivamente. Se los controló a los 7, 15, 30 y 45 días. Los datos obtenidos se analizaron estadísticamente con el ANAVA y los test de Kruskall Wallis y Wilcoxon. Se encontró una disminución de las lesiones altamente significativa en todos los grupos de pacientes (p 0,0001). Se analizó el grado de remisión según la localización de las lesiones; se encontró que en todos los pacientes las localizadas en mucosa yugal y comisura alcanzaron la remisión total, mientras que las lesiones de lengua y paladar mostraron una disminución significativa de la intensidad de las mismas (p 0,00001) con todos los tratamientos. El fenticonazol demostró ser tan efectivo como la nistatina y el ketoconazol en el tratamiento tópico de las candidosis orales (AU)
