RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have indicated an association between oral hypofunction and frailty in community-dwelling older adults. However, this issue has not been evaluated in institutionalized older patients. We aimed to determine the prevalence of physical frailty in this particularly vulnerable group and evaluate its association with oral hypofunction, analyzing possible differences by gender. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted in private and public care homes in Guayaquil (Ecuador) from January 2018 until December 2019. Participants were classified as robust, pre-frail, and frail according to the Fried's frailty phenotype. Oral hypofunction was defined as the presence of at least three positive items in the following list: poor oral hygiene, oral dryness, reduced occlusal force, decreased masticatory function, and deterioration of swallowing function. The relationships between frailty and oral hypofunction were analyzed using logistic regression models for the whole sample and stratified by gender. Statistical analyses were performed using STATA 15.0 software (Stata Corp. LP, College Station, TX, USA). RESULTS: Among the 589 participants analyzed (65% women), the median age was 72 years (interquartile range: 66-82). Pre-frailty and frailty were presented in 66.7% and 28.9% of them respectively. Weakness was the most frequent item (84.6%). There was a significant relationship between frailty and oral hypofunction in women. In the overall sample, the frequency of frailty was 2.06 times higher (95% CI 1.30-3.29) in patients with oral hypofunction, and this association was maintained in women (ORa: 2.18; 95% CI 1.21-3.94). Reduced occlusal force and decreased swallowing function were items significantly associated with the presence of frailty (ORa: 1.95; 95% CI 1.18-3.22 and ORa: 2.11; 95% CI 1.39-3.19, respectively). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of frailty and pre-frailty was high among institutionalized older people and was associated with the presence of hypofunction, especially in women. Decreased swallowing function was the most strongly item associated with frailty.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This systematic review aimed to highlight the usefulness of the clinical examination of the oral cavity for the diagnostic suspicion of anorexia (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN), being of main interest to the paediatric dentist and paediatrician due to the early onset of symptoms in Eating Disorders (EDs). METHOD: A systematic search, applying PICO question, was carried out in biomedical and other electronic databases from 2005 to 2020. Both case reports and case series of patients under 65 years of age with AN and BN were included. Data were extracted and statistically analysed. RESULTS: A sample of 111 studies was obtained (n = 192; 92.78% female). The most prevalent diagnosis was restrictive type AN (n = 110; 57.29%). Only 16 (8.33%) patients had been clinically examined at the oral cavity, indicating the presence or absence of oral manifestations (OM) and showing dental erosion (n = 10) as the most frequent. CONCLUSION: There is a lack of information about the oral examination of anorexic and bulimic patients. Dental erosion and other oral manifestations can help us to make an early ED diagnosis. Clinical observation and basic erosive wear examination (BEWE) Index are necessary steps to detect and record any anomaly in oral cavity during the evaluation of these patients.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of knowledge on oral cancer and level of preventive care among the population. A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed to evaluate 408 individuals through a face-to-face survey at Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil during the 2016 academic year. Sixty-one percent (61%) of respondents said they knew of the existence of oral cancer, but 56.1% did not know that 'white spots' in the oral cavity could become malignant, and 50.7% did not know that 'lumps'could be oral cancer. Moreover, 81.8% said they had never undergone screening for oral cancer. This shows the continued need to implement preventive measures such as educating patients in self-examination of the oral cavity, intensifying prevention campaigns and raising awareness among dentists regarding their responsibility in early detection.


Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el nivel de conocimiento de la población sobre el cáncer bucal y evaluar el nivel de atención preventiva. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y de corte transversal que evaluó 408 individuos a través de una encuesta de forma personal. El estudio se realizó en la Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil durante el periodo lectivo 2016. El 61% de los encuestados indicaron conocer la existencia del cáncer bucal, sin embargo 56,1% ignoraban que las "manchas blancas" en cavidad bucal podrían malignizar; 50,7% desconocían que los "bultos"podrían ser un cáncer bucal. Por otra parte, el 81,8% respondieron nunca haber sido sometidos a un examen de prevención contra el cáncer bucal. Esto nos muestra que es necesario continuar estableciendo medidas preventivas tales como educar a los pacientes en la realización de un autoexamen de la cavidad bucal, intensificar las campañas de prevención y concientizar a los odontólogos en cuanto a su responsabilidad en la detección precoz.

RESUMO

Comunicar un caso clínico poco frecuente para contribuir al conocimiento de las características clínico-diagnósticas de las manifestaciones bucales de la sífilis y del abordaje terapéutico de esta patología. Caso clínico: una paciente femenina de 15 años de edad, sin antecedentes patológicos, fue derivada a la Cátedra de Odontología Integral Niños de la Universidad de Buenos Aires, por lesiones orales de 30 días de evolución. Clínicamente, se observaron rosáceas en filtrum, escamas en semimucosa labial, pápulas y erosiones; además, se hallaron adenopatías submaxilares bilaterales y occipitales. Se solicitaron hemograma completo, eritrosedimentación, VDRI cuantitativa y cualitativa, FTA-abs y prueba de Elisa para VIH. Tras los resultados, la paciente fue derivada a un servicio de infectología, con diagnóstico presuntivo de secundarismo sifilítico. Allí recibió tratamiento con penicilina G benzatínica 2.400.000 Ul en dosis única. Conclusión: el diagnóstico oportuno y un tratamiento precoz evitan las complicaciones serias y la diseminación de la enfermedad...

RESUMO

El síndrome de Hiper EgE (SHIE) es una rara inmunodeficiencia caracterizada por abscesos cutáneos, neumonías recurrentes, conformación de neumatoceles y elevados niveles de IgE en suero. Se ha reconocido la asociación de rasgos faciales, esqueléticos y dentales, pero su frecuencia es poco conocida. Objetivo: describir la epidemiología, presentación clínica, hallazgos de laboratorio y tratamiento de este síndrome desde el punto de vista médico y odontológico, con énfasis en las manifestaciones estomatológicas y dentales. Métodos. Métodos: realizamos una revisión científica sistemática de todos los reporte y series de casos de SHIE en las bases de datos Lilacs, Medline, SciELO y Biblioteca Cochrane, utilizando como descriptores DeCS/MeSH las palabras claves: hyper IgE AND immunodeficiency, hypereosinophilia, Job´s syndrome, hiperinmunoglobulinemia E. Resultados: revisamos 31 publicaciones con 328 pacientes. Los abscesos cutáneos se encontraron en 89 pior ciento de los casos, la neumonía en el 87 por ciento y la IgE sérica dio una mediana de 3.417 Ul/mL. Los rasgos faciales característicos estuvieron en el 69 por ciento, las alteraciones dentarias en 58 por ciento y la candidiasis oral fue reportada en 53 por ciento de los pacientes. Conclusión: el síndrome de IgE es un desorden multisistémico que afecta a la dentición, el esqueleto, el tejido conectivo y el sistema inmune. Por esto, el odontopediatra debe ser capaz de reconocer el fenotipo orofacial para mejorar la calidad del diagnóstico y brindar el abordaje terapéutico apropiado...
