Diagnóstico clínico de pacientes con estomatitis subprótesis portadores de aparatología protésica / Clinical diagnosis of patients with subprosthesis stomatitis bearers of prosthetic aparatology

Se efectuó un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 75 pacientes con estomatitis subprótesis de la mucosa del paladar duro portadores de aparatología protésica removible, atendidos en la consulta estomatológica del Policlínico de Especialidades del Hospital Provincial Clinicoquirúrgico Docente Saturnino Lora Torres de Santiago de Cuba, desde noviembre de 2014 hasta igual mes de 2015, a fin de caracterizarles desde el punto de vista clínico. En la casuística prevalecieron el sexo femenino, el grupo etario de 60 años y más, así como la ausencia de sintomatología. La estomatitis grado I resultó la más frecuente; mientras que la prótesis desajustada, el tiempo de uso continuo y el hábito de no retirar la prótesis fueron los principales factores predisponentes en la aparición de esta enfermedad. De ahí la importancia de realizar acciones educativas que permitan disminuir la presencia de dicha afección

A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 75 patients with stomatitis subprosthesis of the hard palate mucus bearers of removable prosthetic aparatology, assisted in the stomatological service of the Specialties Polyclinic in Saturnino Lora Torres Teaching Clinical Surgical Provincial Hospital from Santiago de Cuba, was carried out from November, 2014 to the same month in 2015, in order to characterized them from the clinical point of view. In the case material there was a prevalence of the female sex, the 60 years and over age group, as well as the absence of symptomatology. Grade I estomatitis was the most frequent; while loosened prosthesis, the time of continuous use and the habit of not removing away the prosthesis were the main predisposing factors in the emergence of this disease. Reason why it is important to carry out educational actions that allow to diminish the presence of this disorder

Principales lesiones bucales y factores de riesgo presentes en población mayor de 60 años / Leading oral lesions and risk factors present in a population aged over 60 years

Se efectuó un estudio descriptivo en la población mayor de 60 años del área de salud de la Policlínica Moncada, que recibieron atención en la Facultad de Estomatología Raúl González Sánchez, Ciudad de La Habana, durante el año 2006, para determinar los factores de riesgo asociados con la aparición de lesiones bucales, su distribución según edad y sexo, además de identificar el tipo de lesión y su localización anatómica. Se estudiaron 352 ancianos a los que se les aplicó una encuesta para identificar la presencia de factores de riesgo y se realizó un examen físico de la cavidad bucal y el cuello para detectar las lesiones y su localización. Como principales resultados se obtuvo que el 60,7 por ciento de los ancianos presentaron factores de riesgo; los más frecuentes fueron: la ingestión de alimentos condimentados y calientes en un 83,4 por ciento, el hábito de fumar en un 82,1 por ciento seguido del uso de prótesis y el alcoholismo, ambos con 72,4 por ciento. El sexo masculino fue el más afectado en un 58,2 por ciento, el factor de riesgo que predominó fue la ingestión de alcohol en un 75,7 por ciento. En las mujeres el uso de prótesis fue el factor de riesgo que predominó con un 73,3 por ciento, seguido del hábito de fumar; la edad más afectada fue la de más de 80 años en un 41,7 por ciento. El 48,5 por ciento presentaban lesiones, el épulis fisurado fue el más representativo en un 39,1 por ciento, la estomatitis subprotésica con un 35,6 por ciento. La localización anatómica encontrada con mayor afectación fue el paladar duro, encía inferior y mucosa del carrillo. Se evidenció con estos resultados la falta de calidad de las actividades de educación para la salud, ya que predominaron estilos de vida perjudiciales a la salud(AU)

A descriptive study was conducted in a population aged over 60 from the health area of Moncada polyclinic seen in Raúl González Sánchez Stomatology Faculty of Ciudad de La Habana during 2006 to determine the risk factors associated with appearance of oral lesions, its distribution according age and sex and also to identify the type of lesion and its anatomic location. A total of 352 elderlies were studied by means of a survey to identify the presence of risk factors and an oral cavity and neck physical examination to detect the lesions and their locations. Leading results showed that the 60,7 percent of elderlies had risk factors where the more frequent were: seasoned and hot foods ingestion in the 83,4 percent, smoking in the 82m1 percent followed by the use of prostheses and alcoholism, both for a 72m4 percent. Male sex was the more involved in a 58m2 percent, the predominant risk factor was the alcohol ingestion in a 75m7 percent. In female sex the use of prostheses was the predominant risk factor with a 73.3 percent followed by smoking; the more involved age was over 80 years sin a 41,7 percent. The 48,5 percent has lesions; the fissure of epulis was more representative in a 39,1 percent, the subprosthetic stomatitis with a 35,6 percent. The more involved anatomical location founded was the hard palate, lower gum and cheek mucosa.

Burning mouth syndrome: clinical profile of Brazilian patients and oral carriage of candida species

Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a complex disease of unknown cause. It is characterized by a burning sensation in the oral mucosa, notwithstanding its clinical normal aspect. BMS is particularly seen in postmenopausal women. The purpose of this study was to investigate this syndrome on a clinical basis and, in addition, to analyze its possible relation to the frequency of Candida species. Thirty-one patients (28 women and 3 men; 13 Caucasians and 18 non-Caucasians; mean age = 61.3, range 30-85 years) were evaluated. Most patients (80.6 percent) were under long-term medication, antihypertensive, ansiolitic and antidepressant drugs being the most used. Burning mouth complaint was associated with other secondary oral complaints in 83.8 percent of the cases. Tongue was the most commonly affected site (70.9 percent), followed by the vermillion border of the lower lip (38.7 percent) and hard palate (32.2 percent). The association of the burning sensation with oral cancer (cancer phobia) was reported by 67.7 percent of the patients. Haematologic examination (hematocrit, haemoglobin and fasting blood glucose level) revealed 2 cases each of anemia and type 2 diabetes. Local factors, tooth extractions and dentures wearing, were associated with the onset of symptoms in 35.5 percent of the cases. Daily activities were changed as a consequence of BMS in 29 percent of the patients. Among the species of the genus Candida, C. albicans was the most frequent in BMS patients (9 - 29.03 percent) and controls (12 - 38.70 percent), followed respectively by C. parapsilosis (2 - 6.45 percent and 0 - 0 percent); C. tropicalis (1 - 3.22 percent and 2 - 6.45 percent); C. krusei and C. kefyr (1 - 3.22 percent and 0 - 0 percent). Therefore, such difference did not reach valuable results. In conclusion, these data were similar to those reported in other studies. The highlights of the present findings were the possible relation of BMS with chronic drug...

A Síndrome de ardência bucal (SAB) é uma doença complexa, de etiologia desconhecida. Caracteriza-se por uma sensação de queimação na mucosa bucal, não obstante seu aspecto clínico normal, sendo bastante freqüente em mulheres após a menopausa. O propósito deste estudo foi o de investigar a SAB em bases clínicas e, em adição, analisar sua possível relação com a freqüência de espécies do gênero Candida isoladas da cavidade bucal desses indivíduos. Foram estudados trinta e um pacientes, 28 mulheres e 3 homens, 13 caucasianos e 18 não caucasianos, média de idade 61,3 (faixa dos 30 - 85 anos). A maioria deles (80,6 por cento) estava sob medicação por longo período. Anti-hipertensivos, ansioliticos e antidepressivos foram as drogas mais utilizadas. A ardência bucal estava associada a outras queixas secundárias em 83,8 por cento dos pacientes. A língua foi o sítio mais afetado (70,9 por cento), seguida pelo vermelhão do lábio inferior (38,7 por cento) e palato duro (32,2 por cento). A associação de sensação de ardência com câncer bucal (cancerofobia) foi referida por 67,7 por cento dos pacientes. Exames hematológicos (hematócrito, hemoglobina e glicemia em jejum) revelaram dois casos cada, de anemia e diabetes tipo 2. Fatores locais, exodontias, e uso de próteses estavam associados com o conjunto de sintomas em 35,5 por cento dos casos. Foram referidas alterações importantes nas atividades cotidianas, em conseqüência da SAB, em 29 por cento dos pacientes. Leveduras do gênero Candida foram isoladas da cavidade bucal de 45,16 por cento dos indivíduos com SAB e igualmente do grupo-controle, não constituindo dado qualitativamente importante. Dentre as espécies do Gênero Candida, C. albicans foi a mais freqüente (9 - 29,03 por cento e 12 - 38,70 por cento), seguida de C. parapsilosis (2 - 6,45 por cento e 0 - 0 por cento), C. tropicalis (1 - 3,22 por cento e 2 - 6,45 por cento), C. krusei e C. kefyr (1 - 3,22 por cento e 0 - 0 por cento). Em conclusão, nossos...
