Actinic cheilitis is a precancerous condition characterized by grayish-whitish area(s) of discoloration on the mucosal lip, often blunting the demarcation between mucosa and cutaneous lip. Actinic cheilitis is considered to be an early part of the spectrum of squamous cell carcinoma. Squamous cell
OBJECTIVE
An analysis is made of the etiologic factors underlying actinic cheilitis and of the results obtained following surgical treatment of the disease in a series of 54 patients (32 males and 22 females).
METHODS
The case history was evaluated, along with the triggering factors,
Lower lip squamous cell carcinoma (LLSCC) is one of the most common cancers of the head and neck1 . Actinic cheilitis (AC) is a potentially malignant disorder of the lip, and it is estimated that 3.07% of AC cases undergo malignant transformation2 . Lip carcinogenesis is
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical and histopathologic presentation of actinic cheilitis.
METHODS
A retrospective study on 65 patients attending an Oral Medicine clinic in Greece over a 10 year period. For each case the demographic, clinical and histopathologic
BACKGROUND
Actinic cheilitis, a common disease caused by chronic solar exposure and tobacco use, is considered a premalignant lesion with potential to develop into squamous cell carcinoma. Some of the available treatments are invasive, have unaesthetic results and require multiple
OBJECTIVE
To assess the prevalence of Actinic Cheilitis (AC) among agricultural workers and analyze its risk factors.
METHODS
A cross sectional epidemiological study. A lip lesion was defined as an abnormal change on the lip mucosa surface, such as erythematous pigmented, ulcerative or swelling
BACKGROUND
Most reports of oral lesion prevalence are based on studies of atypical populations. There are no published studies on oral mucosal lesion prevalence in U.S. adults that are based on a national probability sample.
METHODS
The Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, or
A randomly selected study population of 118 male subjects (> or = 40 years) living on the Mediterranean island of Pantelleria (southwest of Sicily, Italy) was examined for the presence of oral mucosal lesions, with particular emphasis on the early diagnosis of oral precancerous and cancerous
OBJECTIVE
To determine the incidence of potentially malignant oral lesions, and evaluate and correlate their clinical and pathological aspects.
METHODS
The sample consisted of cases clinically diagnosed as oral leukoplakia, oral erythroplakia, erythroleukoplakia, actinic cheilitis, and oral lichen
Background: Candidiasis is the most frequent mycotic infection of the oral cavity. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of clinical oral candidiasis and Candida albicans yeast in a population diagnosed of primary
BACKGROUND
Poor oral health is increasing dramatically among old people especially those living in rural and remote areas. Various factors such as low education background, low income, poor living conditions, unhealthy lifestyle, inadequate oral hygiene and tobacco use lead to poor oral health among
The lip represents an anatomical area of the interface between the skin and oral mucosa. It is, therefore, not entirely surprising that SCC of the lip exhibits mixed features between cutaneous and oral mucosal SCC, namely regarding risk factors and biological behaviour. The main risk factors for lip
BACKGROUND
Oral prevalence studies are important to know the state of health and the needs of treatment. Our aim was to determine the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions and associated factors among aging Chileans.
METHODS
A random sample by age, gender, and socioeconomic status was obtained,
The aim of this study was to establish the prevalence of oral manifestations in HIV-infected patients and to correlate their frequency with the clinical stage. One hundred and sixty one HIV-positive individuals were examined, of whom 64 (40%) were in stages CDC-II and III and 97 (60%) in stage
OBJECTIVE
The aims of this study were (i) to determine the prevalence of oral lesions in adults over 30 years old in the city of Oviedo (Spain), and (ii) to analyze the relationship between the prevalence of oral lesions, toxic habits (tobacco and alcohol) and denture wearers in these
