Objectives: To undertake a retrospective inspection of the general features, clinical presentation and outcome 808 Italian patients with oral lichen planus (OLP), followed up from 6 months to 17 years. Results: The mean age was 61 years for women ( n = 493) 58 men 315). More than 20% total cases had liver abnormalities 164) which 83.5% infected hepatitis C virus 137). reticular plaque form were predominant type, affecting almost 60% patients. 12.3% also extraoral manifestation, taking into...
Objectives Osteonecrosis of the jaw ( ONJ ) is a potentially severe adverse effect bisphosphonates BP ). Although risk increases with increasing duration treatment, there are currently no reliable estimates time to onset TTO The objective this study was estimate and associated factors in ‐treated patients.

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease that can be painful, especially in the atrophic and erosive forms. Several drugs have been used with varying results, but most treatments are empirical, do not adequate control groups or correct study designs.To compare effectiveness of clobetasol ciclosporin topical management OLP to evaluate which more cost-effective gives longest remission from signs symptoms.A randomized, comparative, double-blind was designed. Forty consecutive...
To assess the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions (OML) and evaluate its association with tobacco alcohol consumption wearing removable dentures in an adult population from Turin area, Italy.A retrospective study, based on invitational self-selected screening, was performed 4098 subjects. It included clinical examination plus biopsies when necessary. Patient history age, sex, denture risk habits. Internationally accepted criteria were adopted to classify OMLs.Males observed have more OMLs...
Objective: Even though diagnostic oral exfoliative cytology is a useful, economical and practical tool in the diagnosis of dysplasia carcinoma, it not yet extensively used. The results conventional liquid‐based potentially malignant lesions (PML) are herein reported compared with histological diagnosis. Methods: Either (89) or (384) was used for dysplasia/carcinoma 473 subjects were scalpel biopsy histology. Cells collected using Cytobrush device smears dermatological curette cytology....
Background: Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is a rare oral mucosa disorder, frequently involving periodontal sites, with high rate of progression to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and (VC). This article describes the clinical features follow‐up group patients PVL, attention involvement covering alveolar crest its malignant transformation. Methods: Patients were retrospectively evaluated for demographic data, risk habits (smoking drinking), locations PVL lesions, incidence,...
Objectives To investigate the quality of sleep and psychological profiles a large cohort Italian patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS) to clarify relationships between these variables pain. Methods In this case–control study, 200 BMS vs an equal number age‐ sex‐matched healthy controls, recruited in 10 universities, were enrolled. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Hamilton Rating for Depression (HAM‐D), Anxiety (HAM‐A), Numeric Pain Intensity...
A systematic review from the Cochrane Collaboration stated that alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) may help in management of burning mouth syndrome (BMS). Because all data on ALA came a single group, it has been stressed its effectiveness should be reproduced other populations.A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, including two test groups (Group and Group B) one control group C), was carried out to evaluate efficacy systemic (400 mg) plus vitamins treatment BMS.Sixty-six patients (54...
Since the discovery of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis jaw, there has been increasing evidence in recent years induced by drugs other than bisphosphonates, mainly agents with antiangiogenic and antiosteoclastic activity. Mandibular was observed a 51-year-old female medullary thyroid cancer receiving cabozantinib, new tyrosine kinase inhibitor having The bone necrosis appeared after dental extraction. clinical, radiographic histologic picture chronic non-healing extraction socket...
Acanthosis nigricans (AN), tripe palms (TP) and the sign of Leser‐Trélat (LT) may be seen with presence malignancy. have a mucocutaneous localization involving oral mucosa papillomatous verrucous lesions usually on lips buccal mucosa. These paraneoplastic dermatoses are generally linked intra‐abdominal malignancy, most often gastric adenocarcinoma. Improvement associated after treatment malignancy has been frequently observed. We report case 53‐year‐old man suffering from advanced...
To evaluate the degree and causes of underdiagnosis incisional biopsy in oral potentially malignant lesions (PML).Cross-sectional retrospective study.All pathology slides (incisional resection specimen) from 46 patients with PML were reviewed scored blind. The provisional diagnosis was considered order to provide or overdiagnosis according whether this score lower higher than final diagnosis.Concordance between scores for diagnoses compared unreviewed assessments.Upon review, significantly...
Background: The association between hepatitis C virus (HCV) and oral lichen planus (OLP) is more common in the Mediterranean area Japan, possibly because of immunogenetic factors. Methods: Intermediate‐resolution HLA‐DRB typing by hybridization with oligonucleotide probes was performed 31 Italian OLP patients HCV infection, 45 48 British without infection. As healthy controls we included data from 145 unrelated 101 bone marrow donors. Results: HCV+ve possessed HLA‐DR6 allele frequently than...
Abstract Background. This study prospectively assessed 2‐[F18]‐fluoro‐2‐deoxy‐ D ‐glucose–positron emission tomography (18F‐FDG‐PET)/CT (PET/CT) in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Methods. Twenty‐three patients completed preoperative TNM staging (CT, MR, whole‐body fusion imaging PET/CT). In who underwent surgical therapy (19 of 23), based on PET/CT scan was compared with pTNM. Results. correctly staged 16 19 primary tumors (accuracy 84.2%, sensitivity positive predictive value 100%) and ruled...
