RESUMO

This report documents the clinical and histological outcome of 3D-printed calcium phosphate blocks placed in two-stage procedures to successfully rehabilitate atrophic alveolar ridges. This approach yielded a functionally favorable result. Histological evaluations were performed after healing periods of 6 months and showed ongoing bone regeneration and sprouting capillaries.

RESUMO

AIM: To analyze the relation between biopsy specimen's size and the definitive diagnosis. In addition, other variables including oral mucosa region, type of disease and general versus specialist practitioner were also assessed. METHODS: Data from specimens submitted to histopathological examination between 2007 and 2017 were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS: We analysed data on 792 patients. Out of 1089 archived reports, 81 (7.4%) had no definitive diagnosis. Multivariate analysis rendered biopsy length as the factor influencing the possibility to reach a definitive diagnosis. CONCLUSION: The size of the specimen is an important parameter to achieve a correct histopathological diagnosis of the oral lesions investigated. According to our results, it seems that a 10 mm length is adequate to optimize the biopsy outcome. No statistically differences were observed between GPDs and oral surgery specialists, probably because biopsies were performed by experienced general practitioners, although not formally trained.

RESUMO

Background: Lichen planus is a chronic mucocutaneous inflammatory disease. Oral manifestations are common, and may remain exclusive to the oral mucosa without involvement of the skin or other mucosae. A differential diagnosis includes oral lichenoid drug reactions. Allopurinol, which is the first line hypo-uricemic treatment, is often quoted as being a possible offending drug, though oral reactions have rarely been reported. Case presentation: We describe a 59-year-old male gout patient, successfully treated with allopurinol, who developed acute onset of oral lichenoid lesions, involving bilaterally the buccal mucosa, the tongue and the labial mucosa. Histopathology was consistent with a lichen planus or a drug-induced lichenoid reaction. Improvement of the patient's condition after withdrawal of allopurinol confirmed the lichenoid nature of the lesion. Remission was complete after a few weeks. Discussion: Although unusual, allopurinol may induce a lichenoid drug reaction. These reactions may mimic clinically and histopathologically idiopathic lichen planus. Improvement or complete regression of the lesions may be attempted to confirm the diagnosis. According to the latest WHO recommendations, these lesions have a potential for malignant transformation.

RESUMO

Background and objectives: Apart from the primary effect of bite-blocks on tooth position, they may also influence the mandibular condylar growth. Our aim was to investigate their influence on the condylar morphology, with variable masticatory forces. Material and methods: Fifty-two 4-week old male rats were divided into hard and soft diet groups in order to create individuals with different masticatory muscle capacity. Two weeks later, they were equally divided into bite-block and control groups. After a total of 6 weeks experimental time, the animals were sacrificed. The mandibles were scanned with high-resolution micro-CT and 3D analysis was performed on the condylar neck and head of the condyle. The volume and the length of the condylar process were measured. Statistical analysis was done with a one-way analysis of variance. Results: The use of bite-blocks decreased the length of the condylar process (P = 0.001) as well as the volume of the condylar neck (P = 0.001) and head (P = 0.006). The soft diet decreased the volume of the condylar neck (P < 0.001) and head (P < 0.001) two to three times more than the bite-blocks but did not affect the condylar process length. The interaction between the two variables was not statistically significant. Conclusions: Both the bite-block appliance and weak masticatory muscle function reduced the volume at all regions of the condylar process, although the functional factor had a substantially greater effect. However, only the bite-block appliance affected the condylar process length. In the presence of both factors, an additive effect was found but no interaction detected.
