Accurate clinical identification of 'higher-risk' oral premalignant lesions or areas within is important. Assessment methods that predict their presence have great utility.A cross-sectional, observational study enrolled a consecutive sample consenting patients diagnosed with leukoplakia, erythroleukoplakia, erythroplakia. Medical history, visual examination, ViziLite(®) toluidine blue staining (TBlue(®) ), and finally biopsy were completed in single clinic visit. Seventy-seven 100 examined...
ABSTRACT This study was conducted to assess the clinical efficacy and adverse effects of pilocarpine, bethanechol cevimeline In patients with xerostomia. this open‐label crossover assessment in 20 xerostomia, a one‐ two‐week course each medication one‐week washout period prescribed. Side effects, symptoms, whole stimulated unstimulated saliva were measured. Each sialogogue found increase decrease symptoms. A mixed‐effects analysis showed greater on compared pilocarpine (0.106, p=0.0272)....
The purpose of this report was to describe a clinical case conservative management extensive proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) using carbon dioxide laser, as an alternative complete glossectomy, which led sustained successful outcome over 12-year follow-up period.Patients with oral PVL, high risk premalignant condition, are often treated by wide surgical excision. This approach can lead significant morbidity and compromised quality life.A 50-year-old male PVL superficially invasive...
Peri-implantitis is inflammation and alveolar bone loss around a dental implant. Published case reports have described squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) development implants.A 60-year-old female presented with two small fistulas on the ridge of missing tooth #18. The mucosa appeared normal otherwise, no hyperplasia, erythema, or keratotic changes. patient had 14-year history recurrent erythroleukoplakia (with microscopic dysplasia) left tongue that been managed by surgical removal (scalpel...
Oral leukoplakia and oral lichen planus are conditions that have the potential to transform into squamous cell carcinoma. This article describes a series of nine patients with an initial clinical-microscopic diagnosis planus. During close follow-up, these developed localized areas at intervals ranging from one half six years. While both may present white red mucosal changes, their management differs requiring surgical intervention, therefore accurate is imperative.
Recalcitrant oral lesions of pemphigus vulgaris (PV), an autoimmune blistering disease, can result in significant discomfort, difficulty eating, and maintaining hygiene. Increasing the dosage systemic medications to control such localized results increased risk adverse effects.We describe a male patient diagnosed at age 51 with PV by biopsy that included direct immunofluorescence examination. After further baseline laboratory testing, he was started on prednisone mycophenolate. These were...
