[Oral manifestations in gastroesophageal reflux disease].

The gastroesophageal reflux (passage of gastric contents into the oesophagus and the mouth) is the main sign/symptom of a very frequent gastroesophageal reflux disease. Thus, acid regurgitation originates from stomach and it is responsible of the onset of typical symptoms and mucosal injury. Also in oral cavity the noxious acid agent is able to injury oral cavity (soft and hard tissues). These effects are described from international literature, even if a greater interest has shown to date only for hard tissue injury.

Epidemiology of the most common oral mucosal diseases in children.

Dentists who treat children must be alert to the possibility of finding diseases of the oral mucosa, especially in younger children. The present study aimed to review the most updated information and the experience of our group in order to yield epidemiological data that assist diagnosis of the most common diseases of the oral mucosa in children. Recent epidemiologic studies have shown a wide variability in the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions in different regions of the world and have led researchers to draw disparate conclusions. Moreover, studies have not been designed using standard criteria, further explaining the wide variability in the percentage of different groups of children with oral lesions, which ranges from 4.1 to 52.6%. The lesions most frequently considered by authors and that most often appear in the different studies are: recurrent aphthous stomatitis (0.9-10.8%), labial herpes (0.78-5.2%), fissured tongue (1.49-23%), geographic tongue (0.60-9.8%), oral candidiasis (0.01-37%) and traumatic injury (0.09%-22.15%). Dentists must be able to detect any of the numerous possible disorders and perform the correct differential diagnosis, key to the treatment plan. The aim of this paper, based on a review of the different national and international studies, is to contribute data on the most important oral mucosal diseases in the paediatric population in terms of prevalence and differential diagnosis.

The use of doxycycline in periodontology. Histologic in vivo study on mice affected by diabetes mellitus.

Delay in wound healing process and periodontal disease are 2 possible complications of diabetes mellitus; in case of periodontitis, surgical therapy is necessary if, due to the anatomical and topographical characteristics of periodontal lesions, it is not technically possible to eliminate all the etiological factors by scaling and root-planing therapy only. This work aimed at analysing the effectiveness of doxycycline hyclate as an accelerator of the healing process in laboratory animals (mice with diabetes mellitus). The results obtained after surgical incision of the oral epithelium in diabetic mice show that the topical application of doxycycline hyclate improves, in terms of reparative response time, the regenerative capacity of tissues analysed. Further studies are suggested to test the topical use of doxycycline hyclate in diabetic patients undergoing a periodontal operation in order to accelerate the wound healing process of the tissues concerned.

[Oral manifestations in diabetes].

As a systemic disease, diabetes mellitus also involves alterations of oral structures as an integral part of the body. A group of 47 diabetics, 34 females and 13 males, mean age 55 years, were included in the study. Mean blood glucose was 12.6 mol/l. Results of clinical studies of oral alterations showed oral symptoms, i.e. xerostomia, to predominate in study subjects, followed by glossopyrosis, stomatopyrosis, gingivitis with hyperkeratosis and exfoliations effecting the tongue and lips. Membranes and ulcerations were less frequent in the group of diabetics under study. Along with the occurrence of metabolic and hormonal disturbances, cardiovascular diseases occupy the first place, followed by locomotor, gastrointestinal, respiratory and renal disturbances.

Generalized pustular psoriasis. A review of 63 cases.

BACKGROUND: Sixty-three patients with generalized pustular psoriasis were hospitalized during a 29-year period. They were classified into four subgroups on the basis of onset and morphologic pattern of disease: acute (von Zumbusch), subacute annular, chronic (acral), and mixed. This division provides a better understanding of the variability of the disease and helps in choosing treatment. OBSERVATIONS: The average age at onset was 50 years; male and female patients were affected about equally. In 11 patients, flares were precipitated by localized infections. Approximately one fourth of the patients had complications; most were superinfections. The average stay in the hospital was 30 days; factors correlating with a long hospitalization were hypocalcemia, female sex, and a previous history of psoriasis vulgaris or pustular psoriasis. CONCLUSIONS: Whereas topical therapy was helpful, systemic medications were often needed. Coal tar, ultraviolet light, and psoralen-ultraviolet A may be effective; however, they must be used with caution, because they may exacerbate the disease.

[Prevalence of tongue anomalies in children].

The prevalence of grooved tongue, geographic tongue, and ankyloglossia, was investigated in 660 children, 3 to 13 years old, which attended the Out patient Clinic of the University Hospital of Buenos Aires for unrelated complaints. The figures obtained are at variance--by far--from those published by other people engaged in the same line of research. Probably, further studies with a much larger amount of patients are called for.

[Chancriform pyoderma as a clinical problem: observation of 45 patients treated at the Dermatology Clinic, Medical Academy, in Cracow 1962-1986].

A clinical, bacteriological and serological pictures of 45 patients with chancriform pyoderma are presented, A single ulcer (92.8%), localized on genitals (91.1%) in adult males (93.3%), imitating or very similar to syphilitic primary chancre in our material was observed. A second case in the literature, of chancriform pyoderma on the dorsal surface of the tongue was recorded.

[Fungal involvement of the tongue and feces in dialysis-dependent patients].

38 patients regularly receiving dialysis and 3 patients with a renal transplant were investigated with regard to possible colonization of yeasts. The tongue and stool were directly examined with Kimmig agar, the resulting yeasts were then differentiated by means of rice agar and an auxanogram. Candida albicans was the germ most frequently found both on the tongue (47.5%) and in the stool (50%). We discuss the significance of our results.
