RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether genes in the Wnt pathway, which have been previously associated with both oral clefts and oral squamous cell carcinoma, are also associated with oral potentially malignant disorders (leukoplakia, erythroplakia and lichen planus). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Case-control study: Dataset consisted of clinical information linked to DNA samples from affected subjects diagnosed with oral potential malignant disorders and oral cancer and their matched controls. Individual samples, clinical history, and potential risk factors were obtained through the Dental Registry and DNA Repository project of the School of Dental Medicine, University of Pittsburgh. The rs1533767 (WNT11), rs9879992 (GSK3B), and rs3923087 (AXIN2) were tested. After genomic DNA had been extracted, genotyping was performed blindly to clinical diagnosis status. Representation of genotypes and alleles in affected subjects in comparison to the unaffected individuals was determined using PLINK. Additional analysis was performed to investigate associations between environmental (socioeconomic/lifestyle) risk factors and the oral pathologies studied using STATA. RESULTS: Two of the SNPs tested (rs9879992 in GSK3B and rs3923087 in AXIN2) were statistically, significantly associated with the pathologies studied (p = 0.039 and 0.038, respectively). CONCLUSION: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in genes in the Wnt pathway were associated with oral potentially malignant disorders.

RESUMEN

OBJETIVE: To analyze if differences in lifestyle and environment between coastal and inland areas are associated with differences in frequency of orofacial cleft types. DESIGN: Populational cross-sectional study. SETTING: All live borns with orofacial cleft registered at Brazilian Live Birth Information System between 1999 and 2020. PARTICIPANTS: 33,699 live borns with orofacial cleft. INTERVENTION: Data from borns with orofacial cleft were collected at Brazilian Live Birth Information System. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Differences in frequencies between the cleft types and covariates were determined using chi-square. Bivariate analysis was done to obtain the prevalence ratio of types of clefts by geographic origin. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine adjusted odds ratios, controlling for covariates, establishing a significance level of p value <0.05. RESULTS: The frequency of cleft types was statistically significant different according to geographic origin (inland x coast). For syndromic clefts, the prevalence ratio for cleft lip with/without palate was 3.6 times higher inland (p value = 0.000). Regarding non-syndromics, the prevalence ratio for cleft lip with/without palate was two times higher inland (p value = 0.000). Logistic regression suggested cleft lip with/without palate was 6.33 more likely to occur in inland regions (p value = 0.000). CONCLUSION: Geographic origin was associated with the type of cleft in Brazil, with a higher prevalence of cleft lip with/without palate in inland areas, compared to cleft palate, which was higher in the coast.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the use of salivary biomarkers to identify psychological disorders (anxiety, depression, and stress) in individuals with oral lichen planus (OLP). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The search was made in Medline/Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science, Virtual Health Library, ProQuest, and by cross-reference. Original case-control, cross-sectional, and cohort studies, in human subjects (age ≥18 years) with clinical and histopathological diagnosis, with or without the use of psychometric scales, published until June 2021, were included. Random-effects meta-analyses, subgroup analyses, and sensitivity were performed. Publication bias was measured using the Egger test and visual inspection of the funnel plot. RESULTS: A total of 67 articles were found, of which 12 were included in the meta-analysis. Among the different biomarkers identified, it was only possible to perform a meta-analysis for cortisol. The mean difference between salivary cortisol levels in patients with OLP compared to controls was 3.43 ng/ml (95% CI: 1.20-5.65) with I2  = 98.9%. Studies considered outliers were removed and based on sensitivity analyses, results did not change, therefore, being stable. CONCLUSION: The studies analyzed demonstrated that cortisol was the most quantified biomarker to identify psychological disorders; however, DHEA, IgA, adiponectin, and α-amylase were also evaluated.

RESUMEN

Nonsurgical cosmetic treatments have significantly increased over the last decade. Therefore, this study aims to review the features that should be considered in orofacial esthetic procedures, thorough of a proposal of a new concept called the tissue mimicry concept (MIMT concept) and filling techniques. The MIMT concept described in this article comprises knowledge about anatomy of the face and associated structures, understanding of aging and how this process affects the facial tissues interactions (skin, subcutaneous tissues, muscles, and bones), interpretation of facial analysis, comprehension of dermal fillers characteristics and discernment of the correct filling technique for each region. Based on these variables the MIMT concept proposes the implantation of the minimum-effective quantity of acid hyaluronic fillers (HA) with different physical, chemical and rheological properties (complex viscosity and elastic modulus) in the correct layers; in order to optimize their performance resulting in a natural appearance with fewer risks of adverse events. the versatility, acceptable safety profile, biocompatibility and greater patient compliance presented in the Restylane® line (by Galderma) should be taken in consideration, since the use of a proper HA is noteworthiness. The Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid Tecnology (NASHA®) and the Optimal Balance Technology (OBT®), which make up this line of fillers, allow us to have very firm to very flexible gels, with different particle sizes, with an optimal concentration of HA and with viscoelastic and biocompatible characteristics according to the region of the treated face.
