The clinicopathological characteristics of oral lichen planus and its relationship with dental materials.

The objective of this work was to carry out a clinicopathological study to ascertain whether clinical and histopathologic differences existed between oral lichen planus OLP patients with and without metal restorations. The predominant clinical form in both groups was reticular white, with no statistically significant differences between the forms associated or not with metal. The histological variables showed no statistically significant differences between the groups.

[Sialometry of 156 healthy subjects. Physiologic factors which influence non-stimulated saliva secretion].

PURPOSE: Sialometria or measurement of salivary fluid is an important test for the patients with glandular disfunction. Biological parameters are being studied which may influence the results of the unstimulated salivary flow measurements. METHODS: Sialometria test, which was carried on 159 healthy subjects of a population (81 male and 79 females), studies habits (tobacco), age, sex, corporal weight, environmental factors, oral exploration (caries, lack of teeth and fillings) RESULTS: We found less salivary fluid in the elderly subjects (p = 0.0001), in women (p = 0.045) and with missing teeth (p = 0.0001). We did not find any variation respecting smoking habit, or corporal weight. CONCLUSIONS: Before carrying out the salivary resting flowmetry we ought to bear in mind the variations respecting sex, age and number of teeth missing when interpreting a resting flowmetry.

Histological study of the temporomandibular joint capsule: theory of the articular complex.

The findings of the histological study of the human temporomandibular joint confirm that the cranium and the lower jaw are jointed by two temporomandibular articular complexes (one on the left and another on the right side), each made up, in turn, of two joints--a condylomeniscal condyloarthrosis and a reciprocally fitting meniscotemporal joint. Both these joints are surrounded by short capsular bands which stretch from the condyle to the meniscus and from the latter to the temporal bone and form the true joint capsules. Longer bands which extend from the condyle to the temporal bone may be regarded as reinforcements passing over two articulations.

[The temporomandibular joint in different mammals. A new concept].

The gross anatomy of the temporomandibular joints from omnivorous (pigs), carnivorous (dogs and cats), and herbivorous (cows and sheeps) animals and rodents (rabbits and mice) reveals the existence of right and left temporomandibular joint complex as has been described in humans. Each articular complex includes a temporo-meniscal joint and a mandibulomeniscal joint (in all specimens a combination between a saddle joint and condylar joint). The morphological features of these joints are discussed and the similarities and dissimilitudes between those found in animals and human beings are commented on.

[Oral amyloidosis. Concept, histopathology, clinical manifestations and treatment. Presentation of a clinical case].

The definition and current classification of amyloidosis as well as the incidence, etiopathogenesis, pathology, clinical manifestations, specific diagnosis and prognosis and treatment of the disease are reviewed. A case of amyloidosis of the oral cavity without systemic involvement is reported. A 77 year-old woman suffered from multiple tumor masses in the mouth and presented with symptoms of impaired speech and ingestion.

[Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (mucocutaneous melanosis associated with gastrointestinal polyposis). Presentation of 5 cases presenting in the same family].

Five brothers suffering from Peutz-Jeghers syndrome with freckles in the skin of the face and mucous membrane of the oral cavity, and intestinal polyps are reported. These patients have not been traditionally considered of being at risk. The current opinion is that patients with this disorder can develop malignancies in the gastrointestinal tract, and tumors in other organs.

[Oral lichen planus and Sjogren's syndrome. 2 cases of association].

We described two female patients, aged 55 and 49 years respectively, who fulfilled the diagnostic clinical and histological criteria for lichen planus and Sjögren's syndrome. The association of either lichen planus or Sjögren's syndrome to autoimmune disorders seems not to be fortuitous and common pathogenic mechanisms have been proposed. In the literature, however, the association between lichen planus and Sjögren's syndrome has been infrequently reported.

[Epidemiology of caries in Alicante preschoolers. 2. Risk factors].

An epidemiological study of dental caries amongst preschoolers (aged between 4 and 6 years) from the city of Alicante has been carried out. The influence of the socioeconomic class as well as higienic and diet habits on the appearance dental caries of deciduous teeth has been evaluated. From a total population 7,289 preschoolers, a representative sample of 1,292 children was obtained by the sampling process of a stratified randomization. A statistical significant association was found between socioeconomic class and dental caries (p less than or equal to 0.05), being the lower classes the more prone to dental caries. Higienic habits of the examined children were clearly inadequate; 75.62% of preschoolers showing dental plaque. There was a statistical significant relationship between dental plaque and caries (p less than or equal to 0.05). The ingestion of candies has been shown to be also related with dental caries. Those children who never eat candies showed a prevalence of dental caries of 30.84%, whereas the prevalence increased up to 44% in cases of frequent ingestion of sugared food.

[Oral discoid lupus erythematosus. Diagnostic considerations apropos of a case].

The study and presentation of a typical case of discoid lupus erythematosus with oral lesions in a 30-years old woman, without visceral manifestations at present, was the motive for a revision and updating of the concepts of etiology, differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of this disease. The authors emphasize the importance of the clinical and evolving aspect of the lesions, long-term development, as well as the response to treatment (an antimalarial synthesis, applied systematically and infiltrates with betamethasone solution) in order to reach valid diagnostic conclusions. It is important in the anatomopathological study to include the atrophic zones of the central portion of the discoid lesion.
