ABSTRACT Introduction Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an important and potentially curative treatment for some hematological disorders. Chemotherapeutic preconditioning can result in complications due to the direct or indirect toxicities of administered drugs. Among adverse effects, various may arise within oral environment. Objective We investigated occurrence alterations hematologic patients during their hospitalization HSCT. Methods This study involved 30 undergoing HSCT...
In view of the morbidity potential oral complications in patients with leukemia, this study evaluated clinical and microbiological alterations that occur mucosa children acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) undergoing antineoplastic chemotherapy prophylactic administration 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate. The sample consisted 17 aged 2 to 12 years underwent examination for detection lesions. addition, biological material was collected from labial buccal analysis. Oral mucositis observed only 5...
AbstractAbstractThis study aimed to investigate the prevalence of clinical features temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in patients with fibromyalgia. The test group (FMG) consisted 40 women fibromyalgia (FM) compared control healthy subjects using Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD). variables were Fisher’s exact and a Mann-Whitney test. Facial pain was reported by 85% FM group, 77.5% diagnosed myofascial TMD. Muscle during jaw movements, daytime...
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the periodontal conditions and integrity of abutment non‐abutment teeth patients evaluated 7 years after insertion removable partial denture (RPD). Materials Methods Twenty‐two (17 women, 5 men) were assessed at moment later. The following items verified in each assessment: bleeding on probing (BP), depth (PD), gingival recession (GR), mobility (M), comparing direct indirect teeth, not involved design. Tooth was also classified as intact when no caries or...

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) development in fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is not yet fully understood, but altered neuromuscular control FMS may play a role triggering TMD.The purpose of this study was to verify the association between and chronic facial pain groups patients with TMD.A cross-sectional conducted.This involved an analysis electromyographic activity masticatory muscles (n=27) TMD (n=28). All participants were evaluated according Research Diagnostic Criteria for Disorders...
Purpose: Adequate preparation of abutment teeth for removable partial denture (RPD) rest seats allows appropriate masticatory force transmission, retention, and stability supporting structures. It follows that careful will be important the longevity rehabilitation. The present study aimed to clinically evaluate undercut areas in RPD wearers after 2 years use. Materials Methods: A total 193 occlusal, incisal, cingulum were evaluated terms shape, adaptation, wear, caries, fractures, surface...

This study aimed to evaluate the immunoexpression of glucose transporters 1 (GLUT-1) and 3 (GLUT-3) in metastatic non-metastatic lower lip squamous cell carcinoma (LLSCC). Twenty LLSCCs with regional nodal metastasis 20 without were selected. The distribution staining percentage GLUT-1 GLUT-3 each tumor core at deep invasive front assessed. Most tumors (70%) exhibited peripheral for nests, sheets islands neoplastic cells, whereas predominantly central was observed (72.5%). A high...
The use of clinical indicators satisfaction (OHIP) can be applied to evaluate the impact denture on patient quality life, since dental problems and disorders interfere in normal life individuals. Aim: This study aimed at evaluating level patients rehabilitated with removable partial dentures (RPD) after 2 years use. Methods: An observational was carried out 28 a mean age 45 years, treated RPD Department Dentistry Federal University Rio Grande do Norte 2005. Patients signed informed consent...
