Papel de la histamina en el Liquen Plano Oral, Leucoplasia y en el Carcinoma Oral de Células Escamosas. Revisión sistemática / Role of histamine in Oral Lichen Planus, Leukoplakia and in Squamous-Cell Oral Carcinoma. Systematic review

Introducción: Los queratinocitos presentes en las células epiteliales del cuerpo humano producen, de manera continuada, pequeñas cantidades de histamina que se mantienen en equilibrio en el epitelio oral. Cuando este equilibro se ve alterado, se produce un aumento de histamina en el tejido oral pudiendo provocar lesiones. Objetivo: En este trabajo de revisión se estudia la relación del exceso de histamina en el Liquen Plano Oral, la Leucoplasia oral y en el Carcinoma Oral de Células Escamosas. Material y método: Búsqueda bibliográfica en la literatura de estudios caso control y retrospectivos acerca del papel de la histamina en el Liquen Plano Oral, la Leucoplasia Oral y el Carcinoma Oral de Células Escamosas. Resultados: Se ha observado un aumento del número de mastocitos y de histamina en los tejidos orales con patología comparado con los tejidos sanos. Conclusión: Este aumento del número de mastocitos y de histamina en los tejidos orales con patología, provocan una desorganización en los precursores de la inflamaciónpudiendo así dañar el epitelio oral.

Introduction: Keratinocytes present in the epithelial cells of the human body produced, continuously, small amounts of histamine that are kept in balance in the oral epithelium. When this balance is disturbed, there is an increase in histamine in the oral tissue and it can cause injuries. Objective: In this review work we studied the relationship of excess histamine in Oral Lichen Planus, oral Leukoplakia and Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Material and Method: Bibliographic search of the literature of case control and retrospective studies about the role of histamine in Oral Lichen Planus, Oral Leukoplakia and Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Results: An increase in the number of mast cells and histamine has been observed in oral tissues with pathology compared to healthy tissues. Conclusion: This increase in the number of mast cells and histamine in oral tissues with pathology can cause disorganization in the precursors of inflammation and thus can further damage the oral tissue.

Incidence rate of metastases in the oral cavity: a review of all metastatic lesions in the oral cavity.

BACKGROUND: Metastases in the oral cavity are rare and account for only 1 to 3% of all malignant lesions in this area. The primary location from which most metastases have been described in the oral cavity in adult patients include lungs, breasts, kidneys and colon. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A systematic search of the literature was carried out following the PRISMA statement in PubMed database. Clinical trials and case series published in the last 10 years [2010-2020] were eligible to be selected. The headings and keywords used in the searches were "cancer" AND "oral metastases", "incidence" AND "oral metastases", "oral metastases" AND "jaw bone", "oral metastases" AND "soft tissue". RESULTS: For the study of the incidence of metastases in the oral cavity, 9 reports of clinical trials and 7 retrospective studies of case series have been included in this article. The primary locations from which more metastases have been described in the oral cavity are lungs (30.6% or 183 cases), breasts (22.2% or 133 cases), liver (15.5% or 93 cases), prostate (9 % or 54 cases), thyroid glands (8.1% or 49 cases), kidneys (7.3% or 44 cases), skin (2.3% or 14 cases), soft tissues (2% or 12 cases), colon (2% or 12 cases) and gastrointestinal (0.6% or 4 cases). These metastases have a predilection for hard tissues. The clinical presentation of these lesions varies from painless granulomatous lesions to lytic areas in the jaws. CONCLUSIONS: Although metastases in the oral cavity is an uncommon pathology, early diagnosis is needed so that in the event that it is the first manifestation, it allows the primary tumor to be diagnosed as soon as possible.

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw associated with implant and regenerative treatments: Systematic review.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to determine if the treatment with bisphosphonates other anti-resorptive and antiangiogenic agents influences the success of regenerative and / or implant treatments. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We reviewed the literature from the last 5 years in the PubMed database, using the following words: "Sinus Floor Augmentation"[Mesh] OR "Dental Implants"[Mesh]) OR "Guided Tissue Regeneration"[Mesh]) AND "Osteonecrosis"[Mesh]. The articles were selected following the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were evaluated using the 22 items of the STROBE declaration. The following PICO clinical question was applied: Does the treatment with agents associated with drug osteonecrosis influence the success of regenerative and implant treatments? RESULTS: The initial search resulted in a total of 27 articles. After eliminating those that did not refer to the topic, were duplicated or did not meet the inclusion / exclusion criteria, a full reading of the articles was made evaluating their methodological quality, obtaining six studies with high methodological quality and two with moderate. CONCLUSIONS: The literature regarding this topic is scarce, randomized clinical trials would be necessary to establish protocols relative to implant treatment in patients on antiresorptive treatments. The risk of developing an osteonecrosis associated with the regeneration / implant placement in patients with benign bone diseases is scarce, but it exists and it should not be underestimated. Especially, in the posterior areas of the jaw, if the duration of treatment with BP is greater than 3 years, and if the patient is under therapy with systemic corticosteroids.

Autogenous teeth used for bone grafting: A systematic review.

BACKGROUND: Recently, bone graft materials using permanent teeth have come to light, and clinical and histological outcomes of this material have been confirmed by some studies. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the reliability of the autogenous tooth bone graft material applied to alveolar ridge augmentation procedures. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A systematic review of literature was conducted analyzing articles published between 2007 and 2017. The following four outcome variables were defined: a) implant stability b) post-operative complication c) evaluation of implant survival and failure rates, and d) histological analysis. A total of 108 articles were identified; 6 were selected for review. Based on the PICO (problem, intervention, comparison, outcome) model, the chief question of this study was: Can patients with alveolar ridge deficiency be successfully treated with the autogenous teeth used as bone graft? RESULTS: The mean primary stability of the placed implants was 67.3 ISQ and the mean secondary stability was 75.5 ISQ. The dehiscence of the wound was the most frequent complication with a rate of 29.1%. Of the 182 analyzed implants, the survival rate was 97.7% and the failure rate was 2.3%. In the histological analysis, most of studies reported bone formation. CONCLUSIONS: There is insufficient evidence regarding the effects of autogenous teeth used for bone grafting to support any definitive conclusions, although it has been shown clinically safe and good bone forming capacity, and good results are shown about implant stability.

Implantes dentales cortos en la rehabilitación de los maxilares atróficos. Puesta al día / Short dental implants in atrophic jaws rehabilitation. Update

Los implantes dentales cortos, aunque históricamente se han asociado a un mal pronóstico en las rehabilitaciones orales implantosoportadas, con el paso de los años y los avances en implantología, se han convertido en un tratamiento habitual en la práctica diaria de muchos clínicos, obteniendo tasas de éxito que se han incrementado recientemente hasta prácticamente igualarse a los implantes convencionales para muchos autores. La necesidad de reducir tiempos de trabajo, costes económicos y morbilidad intraoperatoria unida a la creciente demanda derehabilitaciones implanto soportadas en pacientes de un rango de edad cada vez mayor hace necesario añadirlos entre nuestras opciones rehabilitadoras implantológicas. Para ello es necesario conocer sus pros y contras y establecer unos protocolos quirúrgicos y de selección del paciente receptor (AU)

Short dental implants, with the passage of time and advances in implantology, have become astandard treatment in clinical practice. The need to reduce intraoperative time, morbidity and economic costs, linked to the increasing demand for implant rehabilitation in patients with a range of growing old (elder patients) makes it necessary to add the min our rehabilitative implantology options. For this reason, it is important to know its advantages and disadvantages, to set up thesurgical protocols and to select the patients correctly (AU)
