RESUMO
The objective of this systematic review is to assess the risk of postoperative bleeding in oral surgery for implant placement in individuals taking antithrombotics (i.e., anticoagulants and/or antiplatelet agents). A literature search was performed in PubMed (MEDLINE), Web of Science, Scopus, and EMBASE databases for articles published until August 2020, with no date restriction, and manually completed. We included prospective clinical studies that provided information regarding the presence of an experimental group (i.e., implant placement), a control group (patients not under treatment with antithrombotics), and a well-established protocol for evaluating bleeding. Meta-analysis determined the risk of bleeding during the placement of implants in antithrombotic-treated patients. Of the 756 potentially eligible articles, 5 were included in the analysis with 4 ranked as high and 1 as medium quality. Antithrombotic treatment comprised the following drug classes: (1) anticoagulants: vitamin K antagonists, (2) nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants, (3) low-molecular-weight heparin, and (4) antiplatelet agents (not specified). The results suggest that the risk of bleeding is not substantially higher in antithrombotic-treated patients (odds ratio = 2.19; 95% confidence interval: 0.88-5.44, p = 0.09) compared with nontreated patients. This systematic review suggests that the absolute risk is low and there is no need to discontinue or alter the dose of the antithrombotic treatment for implant placement surgery.

Although uncommon in patients under oral therapy, bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) can be a very severe issue. Early intervention with surgical resection should be the preferable method of treating any stage of the disease, resulting in better outcomes and decreasing the morbidity of this condition. A 77-year-old female patient attended the Special Care Dentistry Centre of the University of São Paulo Faculty of Dentistry (CAPE FOUSP) complaining mainly of "an exposed bone that appeared after tooth extraction performed six months earlier". The patient was diagnosed with osteonecrosis associated with bisphosphonate (sodium ibandronate) and surgically treated with removal of bone sequestration and antibiotic therapy. The patient was followed up for six years (a total of 6 appointments), presenting good general health and no sign of bone exposure. Imaging findings showed no changes related to BRONJ either.

BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: Patients seropositive HIV and AIDS represent a group of patients who experience longer longevity at the expense of effective therapies for infection control and related opportunistic diseases. However, the prolonged use of these drugs is often associated with adverse events, which theoretically may influence dental management and the long-term stability of dental implants. The objective of this study was to prospectively evaluate a group of HIV-positive people from a previous study who had received dental implants for 12 years after oral rehabilitation and functional loading. CASE DESCRIPTION: Nine patients with a total of 18 implants participated in this study. Viral load was undetectable in 8 patients, with 1 who had 48 copies/milliliter. The cluster of differentiation 4 T lymphocyte count ranged from 227 through 1,000 cells/cubic millimeter, mean (standard deviation [SD]) 564 (271.13) cells/mm3. Five of the 9 (55.5%) patients had visible plaque, and 5 (55.5%) had bleeding on probing with no implant mobility. Radiographs obtained at 6 months, 12 months, and 12 years of functional loading showed mean (SD) marginal bone losses of 0.32 (0.23) mm, 0.37 (0.23) mm, and 2.43 (1.48), respectively. CONCLUSION AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: These results suggest that dental implant treatment in HIV-positive patients achieved long-term survival, with a success rate comparable with that observed in healthy patients, indicating that implant rehabilitation is not a contraindication for HIV-positive patients.

RESUMO
Knowledge of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is mostly based on adult cases, however bisphosphonates are also currently recommended for different paediatric diseases resulting in osteoporosis. The aim of this study was to review the literature on the risk of developing BRONJ in children and adolescents. The PubMed, LILACS, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane databases were searched using the key words "bisphosphonates", "osteonecrosis", "jaw", and "children". Literature reviews, case reports, abstracts, theses, textbooks, and book chapters were excluded. Studies involving children and young adults (younger than 24 years of age) were included. A total of 56 publications were identified. After applying the eligibility criteria, only seven articles remained. Although no cases of osteonecrosis were identified, all studies had weaknesses such as a limited sample size or the absence of risk factors for the development of osteonecrosis. There is general consensus that this subject should be of concern and that further studies should be conducted before any definitive opinion is reached. It is believed that patients with secondary osteoporosis who use bisphosphonates continuously should be followed up during adulthood, since bone turnover decreases over the years.

HPV clinical manifestations have their characteristics modified by the use of combined antiretroviral therapy (cART), although its incidence is unaffected by cART. We report an unusual presentation of oral HPV infection and discuss an effective treatment for disseminated HPV lesions. A 52-year-old male of Asian-origin, HIV-seropositive, presented with extensive nodular lesions throughout the oral mucosa extending to the oropharyngeal region. Biopsy followed by histopathological examination and HPV genotyping were performed. The treatment was initiated with topical application of podophyllin and trichloroacetic acid. HPV lesions in oral mucosa are generally easy to handle. Extensive lesions can make it difficult to choose an effective treatment that meets the patient's particularities and medication availability.

Drooling is a condition that affects patients with difficulties in swallowing, being common in patients with mental, neurological or dysphagic deficiency. This condition is difficult to diagnose, as it is often confused with sialorrhea, and in many cases we have a hyposalivation scenario. Its diagnosis is subjective, which is why scales should be used for the standardization of the evaluation of the degree of drooling before and after the proposed treatment, as the Thomas-Stonell and Greenberg scale. It causes problems such as perioral infections, rashes, wet clothing, leading to social embarrassment, and may be a risk factor for respiratory infections caused by asymptomatic aspiration of saliva. It presents several treatments, among them the pharmacological one, that is dependent of the clinical picture of each patient that must be evaluated daily. This article refers to a series of reports of cases of children in mechanical ventilation by tracheostomy, hospitalized, with clinical diagnosis of drooling, and clinical improvement with the use of scopolamine by gastrostomy, without intercurrences during its use. The objective of this study is to show other professionals the importance of drooling management, and to expose the adopted behavior in the described cases, providing reduction of respiratory infections and improvement of the clinical and social complications resulting from drooling.

BACKGROUND: Among the complex of HTLV-associated diseases, Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is one of the most controversial. This work aims to detect morphological and inflammatory alterations, including clues of the presence of HTLV-1, in minor salivary glands of patients with dryness symptoms. METHODS: We have assessed HTLV-1-seropositive patients (HTLV-1 group) and patients with SS (SS group). We used formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded minor salivary gland tissue to evaluate the morphological aspects and, by means of immunohistochemistry, the presence of Tax protein, CD4, CD8 and CD20 cells. Additionally, viral particles and proviral load were analysed by PCR. RESULTS: The HTLV-1 group had the highest prevalence of non-specific chronic sialadenitis (85.71%; P = 0.017) and greater amount of T CD8+ cells. In the SS group, focal lymphocytic sialadenitis (80%; P = 0.017) prevailed, with a greater amount of B CD20+ . Both immunohistochemistry and PCR identified the Tax protein and its gene in the salivary glands of both groups and in similar proportions. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that HTLV-1-seropositive patients have different patterns of morphological/inflammatory alterations, suggesting a likely difference in the process of immune activation.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to compare the periodontal status of liver transplant candidates (LTCs) with healthy controls. METHODS: Fifty liver transplant candidates (LTC group) and fifty patients without liver disease (control group) underwent a complete periodontal examination. The groups were matched according to sex, age, and smoking status. A structured questionnaire was applied to record demographic data, systemic health, and information related to liver disease. Full-mouth complete periodontal examination of six sites per tooth was performed: gingival recession (GR), probing depth (PD), attachment loss (AL), bleeding on probing (BOP), and visible plaque index (VPI). The groups were compared in regard to periodontal clinical variables. RESULTS: Patients with cirrhosis had greater prevalence of periodontitis than healthy controls (P < 0.001). In addition, they had greater mean percentage of sites with AL ≥3 mm (P = 0.008) and AL ≥5 mm (P = 0.023), greater mean AL (P = 0.003), greater mean gingival recession (P < 0.001), and more missing teeth than in the control group (P = 0.02). CONCLUSION: Liver transplant candidates presented greater prevalence, extent, and severity of periodontitis than matched control patients.

Moebius' syndrome (MS) is characterized by a nonprogressive facial palsy associated with impairment in eye abduction, which can be uni- or bilateral. Some authors raise the possibility that patients with MS may suffer from social stigmatism due to their facial dysmorphism and that constant teasing and bullying perpetrated by people in the same social circle are adjuvants in the development of low self-esteem, behavioral problems, and even psychiatric disorders. Psychological stress, anxiety, and depression are factors contributing to both development and impairment of autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The objective of this work is to report the case of a patient with MS who developed SLE. In the present case report, we have emphasized the importance of both clinical dental examination and surgeon-dentist in the early diagnosis of systemic diseases by considering that these conditions can affect both syndromic and normoreactive patients.

Plasmablastic lymphoma is a non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by its plasmacytic differentiation and predilection for the oral cavity. It is among the lymphomas most commonly associated with AIDS. This report details a case of a HIV-positive patient with a 1-month history of an exophytic mass in the gingival area of the upper left quadrant. The diagnosis of plasmablastic lymphoma was made based on its histopathological and immunophenotypical features. She was treated with chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Despite complete resolution of the lesion, the patient died of cardiorespiratory arrest. This case illustrates plasmablastic lymphoma as the first clinical manifestation of AIDS, highlighting the importance of differentiating between a potentially malignant lesion and other pathologic processes.

BACKGROUND: New clinical approaches to diagnose and monitor individuals with systemic diseases have been employed through the use of oral fluids. Polyomavirus BK (BKPyV) and JC (JCPyV) infect asymptomatically around 80% of general population worldwide remaining latent in the body. In case of immunosuppression, a replication can occur, leading to diseases. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to detect and quantify BKPyV and JCPyV in oral fluids of individuals with chronic kidney failure (CKF), kidney transplantation (KT) and controls compared with their detection in blood and urine, traditionally used for this test. STUDY DESIGN: Forty six subjects were included and distributed into 3 groups: 14 with CKF (Group 1), 12 with KT (Group 2) and 20 healthy individuals (Group 3). In a total, 315 samples were collected and analyzed through RT-PCR, being 151 of gingival crevicular fluid, 46 of saliva, 46 of mouthwash, 43 of blood and 29 of urine. RESULTS: All subjects from group 1 were positive for BKPyV in at least one collected samples and 14% were positive for JCPyV. In Group 2, 91.7% were positive for BKPyV and 51.7% for JCPyV. Among subjects of Group 3, 80% were positive for BKPyV and 45% for JCPyV. CONCLUSIONS: Oral fluids exhibited high prevalence of BKPyV and JCPyV and were equally efficient compared to urine and blood. The use of oral fluids to detect these polyomaviruses enhances positivity in screening, even in cases of absence of viremia and especially in individuals who are not able to urinate.

BACKGROUND: Human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is known to be associated with neoplastic and neurodegenerative changes, and it is believed to be associated with various systemic inflammatory diseases, including Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Although HTLV-I infection is endemic in Brazil, there is no information regarding the association between HTLV-I infection and SS in the Brazilian population. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of SS in HTLV-I-infected individuals and the prevalence of HTLV-I infection in individuals diagnosed with SS. METHODS: Serology for HTLV-I was performed in 50 patients presenting with complaints consistent with SS (the SS group). The HTLV-I group comprised 129 HTLV-I-infected patients who were screened for SS. RESULTS: None of the patients in the SS group tested positive for HTLV-I. Of the 129 patients in the HTLV-I group, 46 (35.7%) had xerostomia, 18 (13.95%) had xerophthalmia, eight (6.2%) had hyposalivation, two (1.55%) showed impaired tear secretion, and one (0.77%) was positive for autoantibodies (anti-SSB). In addition, six underwent minor salivary gland biopsy, and the histopathological findings were consistent with SS. Only two (1.55%) met the diagnostic criteria for SS. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of SS was found to be three times as high in HTLV-I-infected individuals as it was in those without HTLV-I infection. However, given the small number of HTLV-seropositive patients with SS, it is impossible to state that HTLV acts as an immune-activating pathogen for SS.

Oral manifestations are common findings in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients and frequently influence the overall health. Oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL) is strongly associated with HIV infection demonstrating its relationship with the individual's immune status and progression of immunosuppression. This study aims to retrospectively evaluate OHL in HIV patients, analyzing its incidence, demographic aspects and possible changes in clinical and epidemiological profile of the disease over 17 years. The records of 1600 HIV-infected patients were reviewed. The data were correlated and analyzed, considering HIV exposure category, age, gender, harmful habits, CD4 level, use and type of antiretroviral. OHL was observed in 215 (13.4%) patients. Most were men in the fourth decade of life, 171 (79.5%) and 112 (52,1%) respectively, but an increase in the incidence of OHL among female patients and those in the fifth decade of life was observed. Tobacco smoking was the most frequent harmful habit reported by 114 (68%) patients. OHL occurred mostly in patients with CD4 counts between 200 and 500 cells/mm3 35 (55.5%). The lower incidence of OHL was found among patients using at least one non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). OHL is related to CD4 count, use of ARVT and tobacco smoking and is also more prevalent in men in the fourth decade of life. These characteristics were recognized in absolute values, but when verifying the behavior over the years we noticed that the incidence of OHL is decreasing and its epidemiological characteristics changing.

O transplante de fígado é o tratamento preconizado para a doença hepática terminal. Infecções são complicações frequentes e estão associadas à alta morbidade e mortalidade de pacientes pré e pós-transplantados. Assim, a prevenção de processos infecciosos é fundamental para reduzir a progressão da cirrose e diminuir o risco de complicações após o transplante. Portanto, o objetivo desta revisão de literatura é verificar quais são as condições bucais de candidatos ao transplante de fígado e de pós-transplantados, bem como verificar se a doença hepática está associada com pior condição bucal. Os artigos incluídos demonstraram higiene bucal ruim, alta prevalência de doença periodontal e de doença cárie. Alguns estudos observaram maior perda óssea e maior perda de inserção clínica em pré e pós-transplantados do que em pacientes sadios. A literatura é controversa em relação à associação entre condição hepática e doença cárie. Não há evidência suficiente para suportar a hipótese de que a doença hepática seja um fator de risco para doenças bucais
Liver transplantation is the indicated treatment for endstage hepatic disease. Infections are frequent complications in patients waiting for liver transplant and post-transplant patients, and have been associated with high morbidity and mortality.Thus, prevention of infections is important in the reduction of the progression of hepatic disease and in the reduction of complications in the transplanted patient. The aim of the review is to describe the oral conditions of liver transplant candidates and transplanted patients, and to verify if hepatic disease is associated with poor oral conditions. The included articles demonstrated poor oral hygiene, high prevalence of periodontal disease and caries disease. Some of the studies observed greater bone loss and clinical attachment loss in liver transplant candidates and transplanted patients, when compared to healthy controls. The literature is controversial regarding association between liver disease and dental caries. We concluded that there is not enough evidence to support the hypothesis that liver disease increases the risk for oral diseases

O projeto Sorria mais São Paulo, recentemente lançado pelo Governo do Estado, prevê, em uma de suas vertentes, a instituição da "Odontologia Hospitalar" e, visando a integralidade da atenção à saúde, incluiu o Cirurgião-Dentista (CD) à equipe hospitalar. O objetivo deste estudo foi mapear os atuais serviços de Odontologia na Rede Hospitalar Pública do Estado de São Paulo. Para tanto, foi consultado o Cadastro Nacional de Estabelecimentos de Saúde (CNES). A rede pública conta com 199 hospitais, sendo apenas 20% dos municípios contemplados. O Departamento Regional de Saúde I apresenta a maior concentração desses estabelecimentos (37). A esfera administrativa da maioria dos hospitais é privada (87,4%) e 66,3% são de gestão municipal, sendo que 17% atendem exclusivamente ao SUS. Existem 859 CDs contratados, porém mais da metade desses profissionais possuem perfil de atuação diferente do proposto pelo programa de "Odontologia Hospitalar". Em relação à jornada de trabalho, 58% trabalham menos de 20 horas semanais e pelo menos metade do tempo desses profissionais é destinado ao atendimento ambulatorial de pacientes. 58,20% dos CDs possuem vínculo de "autônomo", e 40,39% das contratações são intermediadas por entidades filantrópicas. Ao avaliar os CDs que possuem o perfil designado no programa "Odontologia Hospitalar", verifica-se que a relação leito/CD é de 87,57:1. Com CDs com uma carga horária pequena e dividida entre o atendimento ambulatorial e hospitalar, parece apropriado tanto à estruturação de novos serviços como o aumento de contratações específicas para suprir a demanda crescente desse profissional de saúde em hospitais.
The Sao Paulo state government recently began a project known as "Sorria Mais São Paulo" ("Smile More São Paulo"). which, among other measures, instituted a Hospital Dentistry Program within the state's public healthcare system. In an attempt to be more comprehensive, the state government has added dental surgeons (DSs) to hospital staff. The goal of this study was to chart the dentistry services available in Sao Paulo's public healthcare system. To do so, Brazil's National Health Establishment Registry (CNES) was consulted. The state's public healthcare network includes 199 hospitais, though only 20% of the state's cities are covered. The largest concentration of establishments (37) are in the DRS I region. In these hospitais, the administrative sectors are often private (87.4%). 66.3% are under city management, and 17% are exclusively public hospitais. Though 859 DSs have been hired, more than half of them per- form tasks that were not proposed by the Program, 58% work fewer than 20 hours per week, and more than half of their time is spent on ambulatory care services. Of these DSs, 58.20% are considered "independent contractors." and 40.39% of their hirings are initiated by philanthropic entities. When one considers only the DSs that perform the tasks of the Program, the ratio of hospitalized patients to doctors is 87.57:1. With DSs working few hours and dividing their time between surgery and ambulatory care, it seems that the state needs to develop new servicesand increase hirings in order to meet the demand for these healthcare professionals.
