OBJECTIVE
The aim was to investigate the effectiveness of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) as an adjuvant to mechanical curettage (MC) in the treatment of periimplant mucositis in smokeless tobacco (ST) product users.
METHODS
Forty-eight ST product users with periimplant mucositis were
BACKGROUND
The increasing use of chewing tobacco (CT) in the last 10-12 years has led to an increased incidence of potentially malignant oral disorders and frank oral malignancies.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the frequency of oral mucosal lesions and to correlate the dose-response relationship among CT
In Southeast Asia and Taiwan, betel quid chewing is prevalent. Patients with head and neck cancer who chewed betel quid habitually seem to experience more severe chemotherapy-induced mucositis in our clinical practice. To validate this issue, patients with untreated head and neck cancer who received
Acute mucositis is common after radiotherapy for head and neck cancers. During the past 3 decades, there was a gradual evolution in the treatment modalities for locally advanced carcinomas (concomitant radio-chemotherapy, accelerated radiotherapy). These new strategies are accompanied by an increase
OBJECTIVE
Chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis (CIOM) is a common side effect of cancer therapy that may lead to significant morbidity and interfere with the treatment plan. The present prospective, cross-sectional study intended to describe the prevalence of clinically relevant CIOM (CRCIOM) in
OBJECTIVE
Mucositis is a common and troublesome adverse effect of concurrent chemoradiotherapy, often causing treatment interruption and compromising treatment outcome. We sought to identify predictors of mucositis in southern Indian patients treated for gastroesophageal carcinoma.
METHODS
Patients
BACKGROUND
One of the most distressing complications of head and neck cancer patients on chemoradiotherapy is mucositis. There is no proper tool to predict its occurrence in these patients.
OBJECTIVE
This study was conducted to develop a risk-scoring system to predict probable incidence and severity
BACKGROUND
Major environmental risk factors for upper digestive tract cancers are tobacco smoking, alcohol intake and poor oral hygiene. They all result in increased acetaldehyde (ACH) levels in saliva which has been shown to be carcinogenic. During alcohol challenge the oral microbiota is the main
Although tobacco and alcohol abuse are known factors in the genesis of many head and neck cancers, none of the consultants believe that the cause and effect is established in younger patients. No one is willing to make a connection between her carcinoma and her connective tissue disease. With regard
Three women had a diagnosis of oral lichen planus (OLP), which was made on the basis of clinical and histologic features. All three had persistent burning pain associated with large mucosal lesions. Changes in the color (red, red and white, white), configuration, and severity of the lesions were
Chronicles in Drug Discovery features special interest reports on advances in drug discovery. This month we highlight new options to prevent oral mucositis, a treatment-limiting adverse effect of chemotherapy. Studies are currently focusing on mechanism-based therapies to prevent or repair DNA
BACKGROUND
Major risk factors for oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are tobacco smoking, a betel quid chewing habit, and heavy alcohol consumption. However, around 15% of oral SCCs cannot be explained by these risk factors. Although oral SCC associated with dental implants is quite rare, there has
Patients with head and neck squamous cell cancers (HNSC) of stage III and IV have a poor outcome, often losing important functions such as swallowing and speech despite combined surgery and radiotherapy. Two-thirds of such patients die of local recurrence and disseminated metastasis in spite of
Although studies have been done that evaluated the effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in cigarette smokers and vapers, however, literature on the impact of these types of smoking on peri-implant parameters lack. The present clinical trial assessed the effectiveness of PDT as an To improve visualization of suspicious lesions of the oral mucosa and to assess the accuracy of Velscope in assessing cellular changes occurring in oral premalignancy for early diagnosis.In this prospective, randomized in-vivo clinical study a total of 250
