OBJECTIVE: Sirolimus (SRL) and everolimus (EVL) are increasingly included in immunosuppressive protocols after heart transplantation. They present some side effects, including the appearance of painful lesions in the oral cavity. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to verify the global prevalence and clinical characteristics of oral lesions induced by SRL and EVL in heart transplant patients. STUDY DESIGN: A systematic review was performed using 5 main electronic databases (Medline/PubMed, SCOPUS, EMBASE, Web of Science, and LILACS), in addition to the gray literature...

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to describe and analyze the epidemiologic and clinical variables associated with, treatment for, and development of cervicofacial infection (CFI). STUDY DESIGN: We retrospectively examined 201 patients older than 14 years who had met the CFI diagnostic criteria and whose treatment required hospitalization and intervention under general anesthesia at our hospital. We performed chi-square tests to compare proportions in categorical variables and either the Student t test or the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to compare quantitative variables...

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to develop machine learning models to predict phosphorylated mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (p-MET) expression in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived texture features and clinical features. METHODS: Thirty-four patients with OTSCC were retrospectively collected. Texture features were derived from preoperative MR images, including T2WI, apparent diffusion coefficient mapping, and contrast-enhanced (ce)-T1WI...

OBJECTIVE: The aim was to optimize diagnostics for carotid artery calcifications (CACs) on panoramic radiographs (PRs) to identify cardiovascular disease (CVD) by investigating how 4 defined CAC shapes are associated with ultrasound (US) findings indicating CVD. STUDY DESIGN: The study included 414 participants (802 neck sides) from the Malmö Offspring Dental Study, examined with PRs. The PRs were assessed for CAC shapes stratified into 4 categories: single, scattered, vessel-width defining, and vessel-outlining...

The occurrence of clear cell histologic sub-type of oral squamous cell carcinoma in the oral cavity is a distinct and exceedingly rare entity exhibiting aggressive behavior. To date, only 10 cases have been published in the literature. We describe 2 extremely rare cases, both presenting with swelling and ulcerated nodule-like proliferative growth in the mandible. Microscopically, sheets and lobules of neoplastic squamous epithelial cells showing clear cell differentiation were appreciated in both patients. Periodic acid-Schiff and mucicarmine revealed negative staining...

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to describe the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in patients with oral lichen planus (OLP) refractory to conventional therapy. STUDY DESIGN: In this single-center retrospective study, patients were prescribed HCQ 200 mg twice daily. Pain, reticulation, erythema, and ulceration scores were recorded. Two-sample and paired t tests were used to evaluate mean and paired pain scores and paired t test to determine substantial differences in paired REU scores, at HCQ initiation visit and final follow-up at 12 to 24 months...

PURPOSE: Evaluate which factors compromise patients' quality of life who have undergone orthognathic surgery in the pre and postoperative period of 2 years. STUDY DESIGN: In this longitudinal prospective study, 46 adult patients undergoing orthognathic surgery were evaluated. The primary outcome variable was quality of life, assessed using the overall score of the orthognathic quality of life questionnaire (OQLQ) in the pre and 2-year postoperative periods. The predictor variables were axis I (temporomandibular dysfunction) and axis II (psychosocial) RDC/TMD diagnoses, assessed preoperatively and 2 years postoperatively; profile, asymmetry, and open bite preoperatively; and orthodontic treatment active 2 years postoperatively...

OBJECTIVE: Maxillary sinusitis can be a sequela of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). This study aims to characterize the microbiome of maxillary MRONJ with concurrent maxillary sinusitis and radiographic maxillary sinus opacification to determine if there is a relationship between the microbiome of MRONJ and sinus disease. STUDY DESIGN: This retrospective case series was conducted using electronic health records from the University of Pennsylvania and affiliated hospitals...

Oral lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs on the oral mucosa and is an oral potentially malignant disease. Treatment of oral lichen planus aims to promote healing of the erosion, relieve pain, reduce recurrence of the erosion, and prevent canceration. Corticosteroids are the first line of treatment for oral lichen planus. Refractory oral lichen planus is a clinical classification of oral lichen planus that has not responded to corticosteroid treatment for more than 2 months. Topical 5-aminolevulinic acid-mediated photodynamic therapy is an innovative and effective treatment for potentially malignant oral diseases and has been reported as an alternative treatment to conventional therapies for oral lichen planus...

This report describes a rare case of primary intranodal Warthin-like mucoepidermoid carcinoma (WL-MEC) presenting as a left level II lymph node mass in a 48-year-old man. Warthin-like mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a recently defined variant of MEC that bears a close histologic resemblance to Warthin tumor. Whereas MEC has readily identifiable key histologic features that render diagnosis relatively straightforward, WL-MEC is a challenging diagnosis due to overlapping histologic features and only limited case reports in the literature...

OBJECTIVES: We calculated the prevalence of unsuspected retro-odontoid pseudotumor (ROP) as detected in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) examinations. Additionally, we examined patient age, sex, and presence and severity of cervical osteoarthritis (OA) as potential risk factors for ROP.

OBJECTIVE: Trismus/reduced mouth opening (RMO) is a common side effect of radiotherapy (RT) for head and neck cancer (HNC). The objective was to measure RMO, identify risk factors for RMO, and determine its impact on quality of life (QOL). STUDY DESIGN: OraRad is an observational, prospective, multicenter cohort study of patients receiving curative intent RT for HNC. Interincisal mouth opening measurements (n = 565) and patient-reported outcomes were recorded before RT and every 6 months for 2 years...

Salivary gland and odontogenic neoplasms with extensive clear cell change are rare lesions but have been increasingly characterized over the past decade. Among this heterogeneous group of neoplasms, hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC), clear cell odontogenic carcinoma (CCOC), and clear cell myoepithelial carcinoma (CCMC) share a monophasic clear cell morphology and an EWSR1 gene rearrangement. While HCCC is relatively well characterized, there are a limited number of EWSR1-reaarranged CCMC of salivary glands reported, and its clinicopathologic features in relation to HCCC and nonclear cell myoepithelial carcinoma (MC) have not been clarified...

OBJECTIVE: This study focused on EXT2, a member of the EXT family involved in heparan sulfate synthesis, to evaluate its potential as a prognostic and predictive biomarker in head-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study used the cancer genome atlas head-neck squamous cell carcinoma (TCGA-HNSC) dataset-based UALCAN database to analyze the EXT2 expression and its clinicopathological features. In addition, we recruited 51 oral squamous cell carcinoma patients (OSCC), the most common HNSCC subtype, to validate the EXT2 mRNA expression analysis...

OBJECTIVE: Assess the impact of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) on xerostomia, salivary flow rate (SFR) and composition in patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) for head and neck cancer (HNC). STUDY DESIGN: Thirty patients undergoing RT (65 Gy) for HNC were enrolled. Saliva and xerostomia evaluations collected pre- and post-PBMT-RT. PBMT involved irradiation of extra and intraoral points, 15-20 sessions, 2-3 times/week. SFR, trace elements, total protein, alkaline phosphatase, xerostomia, and pH were analyzed...
