Conservative management of an extensive odontogenic keratocyst in the anterior ...
Chaves, Filipe Nobre; Fernandes, Jefferson Douglas Lima; França, Samuel Rocha; Oliveira, Denise Hélen Imaculada PereiraOdontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are now considered benign cysts of odontogenic origin that are characterized by an aggressive behavior with a relatively high recurrence rate, particularly when OKCs are associated with syndromes. Its histological appearance is characteristic with the presence of an epithelial lining parakeratinized showing a corrugated surface, together with a number of architectural features of ...
Uncommon involvement of multiple lesions in the oral cavity: A case report
Vasconcelos Melo, Thiago; Fernandes , Jefferson Douglas Lima; Oliveira, Denise Hélen Imaculada Pereira; Sampieri, Marcelo Bonifácio da SilvaIn maxillomandibular complex lesions of various etiolopathogenesis may occur. Commonly, lesions are solitary, however, in in rare cases, multiple lesions with distinct natures affect the maxillo-mandibular complex. Until now, the recent literature, there are no reports of simultaneous impairment of periapical cysts, dentigerous and cementoblastoma in the same patient. We report the case of a 38-year-old with sy...
Analysis of the immunoexpression of opioid receptors and their correlation with...
Sousa, Alceu Machado de; Dantas, Thinali Sousa; Silva, Paulo Goberlânio de Barros; Martins, Conceição da Silva; Freire, Gildenio EstevamObjective: Breast cancer is a disease of great concern. The prognosis of this tumor is related to its staging. Opioids are widely used to minimize pain in oncology clinics; however, the relationship between the administration of opioids and their effects on tumor cells has yet to be elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the immunoexpression of mu- (μ) and kappa- (κ) opioid receptors and their corr...

Pharmacological characterization and raman spectroscopy evaluation of oral and ...
Carvalho, Francisco Samuel Rodrigues; Verde, Marina Mota Lima; Viana, Khalil Fernandes; Bezerra, Thâmara Manoela MarinhoBackground: There are several lesions of odontogenic and non-odontogenic origin in the oral cavity, such as odontogenic keratocyst, as well as many treatment options for such lesions. In order to reduce recurrence due to conservative treatments and less aesthetic and functional impairment of the patient (radical therapies), Carnoy’s solution has been used as an adjuvant to surgery, showing satisfactory results....
DNA methylation profiles of 22 apoptosis-related genes in odontogenic keratocys...
Pereira, Karuza Maria Alves; Costa, Sara Ferreira dos Santos; Pereira, Núbia Braga; Diniz, Marina Gonçalves; Castro, Wagner HenriquesObjective. Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are cystic lesions of the jaw and tend to recur after treatment. Marsupialization is an effective preliminary treatment for large OKCs. This procedure induces epithelial lining changes in association with reduc- tion of Bcl-2 protein expression, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. The purpose of our study was to compare the methylation profile of the apoptosis...
Prospective evaluation of quality of life in patients undergoing primary surger...
Viana, Thales Salles Angelim; Silva, Paulo Goberlânio de Barros; Pereira, Karuza Maria Alves; Mota, Mario Rogério Lima; Alves, Ana Paula Negreiros NunesBackground: The purpose of the present study was to compare the preoperative and postoperative health related quality of life (HRQoL) of a sample of patients undergoing primary surgery for oral cancer in 2012-13. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, prospective study of 54 patients in a Brazilian population was performed. HRQoL was measured preoperatively (after histopathological diagnosis) and postoperati...
Immunohistochemical evaluation of GLUT-3 and GLUT-4 in oral epithelial dysplasi...
Feitosa, Sthefane Gomes; Viana, Khalil Fernandes; Luna, Ealber Carvalho Macedo; Costa, Fábio Wildson Gurgel; Cavalcante, Roberta BarrosoObjectives: To evaluate immunohistochemically the expression of GLUT-3 and GLUT-4 in oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) and the oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and assess possible involvement in the malignant transformation of oral lesions. Methods: Tissue samples of 15 cases of OSCC and 15 of OED were subjected to immunohistochemistry with anti-GLUT-3 and anti-GLUT-4 antibodies. Five fields of each case were ...
Educational utilization of microsoft powerpoint for oral and maxillofacial canc...
Carvalho, Francisco Samuel Rodrigues; Chaves, Filipe Nobre; Soares, Eduardo Costa Studart; Pereira, Karuza Maria Alves; Ribeiro, Thyciana RodriguesElectronic presentations have become useful tools for surgeons, other clinicians and patients, facilitating medical and legal support and scientific research. Microsoft(R) PowerPoint is by far and away the most commonly used computer-based presentation package. Setting up surgical clinical cases with PowerPoint makes it easy to register and follow patients for the purpose of discussion of treatment plan or scie...
Evaluation of the p-AKT, p-JNK and FoxO3a function in the oral epithelial dyspl...
Chaves, Filipe Nobre; Marinho, Thâmara Manoela Bezerra; Silva, Paulo Goberlânio de Barros; Oliveira, Francisco Artur Forte; Sousa, Fabrício BituOBJECTIVES: To evaluate the expression of p-AKT, p-JNK, FoxO3a and KI-67 in samples of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) and Oral Epithelial Dysplasias (OEDs) to understand their possible involvement in the malignant transformation process of oral lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Tissue samples of 20 cases of OSCCs, 20 OEDs and normal oral mucosa were subjected to immunohistochemistry reactions for anti-p-Akt,...
