Immune cellular profile of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw
Silva, Paulo Goberlândio de Barros; Oliveira, C. C. de; Brizeno, Luiz André Cavalcante; Wong, Deysi V. T.; Lima Júnior, Roberto César PereiraOBJECTIVES: Characterize the cell profile and immunostaining of proinflammatory markers in an experimental model of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Male Wistar rats (n = 6-7) were treated chronically with saline solution or zoledronic acid (ZA) at 0.04, 0.20, and 1.00 mg kg(-1) (1.4 × 10(-7) , 6.9 × 10(-6) , and 3.4 × 10(-5) mol kg(-1) ), and subsequently, the fir...

Silva, Paulo Goberlânio de Barros; Verde, Maria Elisa Quezado Lima; Brizeno, Luiz André Cavalcante; Wong, Deysi V. T.Abstract Immune cell profile of dental pulp tissue treated with zoledronic acid. International Endodontic Journal. Aim To characterize the pulp immune cell profile in the teeth of rats treated with zoledronic acid (ZA). Methodology Male Wistar rats (n = 6 per group) received four intravenous infusions of ZA at doses of 0.04, 0.20 or 1.00 mg kg 1 ZA or saline (control). On the 70th experimental day, they were euth...

Influence of educational level, stage, and histological type on survival of ora...
Dantas, Thinali Sousa; Silva, Paulo Goberlânio Barros de; Sousa, Eric Fernandes; Cunha, Maria do P. S. S.; Aguiar, Andréa Sílvia Walter deAbstract: The mortality rate associated with oral cancer is estimated at approximately 12,300 deaths per year, and the survival rate is only 40% to 50% for diagnosed patients and is closely related to the duration of time between disease perception and its diagnosis and treatment. Socioeconomic risk factors are determinants of the incidence and mortality related to oral cancer. We conducted a retrospective, cro...
Aneurysmal bone cyst of the zygomatic Arch causing limited mouth opening
Benevides, Breno Souza; Menezes Junior, José Maria Sampaio; Holanda, Marcelo Esmeraldo; Sousa, Fabrício Bitu; Lopes, Mariana Canuto Melo de SousaThe Aneurysmal Bone Cyst (ABC) is an expansive osteolytic, radiolucent, multilocular, eccentric lesion of unknown origin consisting of spaces filled with blood in any segment of the skeleton, being most frequently encountered in the diaphysis of the long bones or the spinal cord. It may occur as distinct clinico-pathological entity or as pathophysiological alteration of a preexisting lesion, like giant-cells le...
Molecular analysis of oral bacteria in heart valve of patients with cardiovascu...
Oliveira, Francisco Artur Forte; Forte, Clarissa Pessoa Fernandes; Silva, Paulo Goberlânio de Barros; Lopes, Camile B.; Montenegro, Raquel CarvalhoAbstract: Structural deficiencies and functional abnormalities of heart valves represent an important cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and a number of diseases, such as aortic stenosis, have been recently associated with infectious agents. This study aimed to analyze oral bacteria in dental plaque, saliva, and cardiac valves of patients with cardiovascular disease. Samples of supragingival plaqu...

Soares, Eduardo Costa Studart; Costa, Fábio Wildson Gurgel; Bezerra, Tácio Pinheiro; Nogueira, Carlos Bruno Pinheiro; Silva, Paulo Goberlânio de BarrosIntroduction Oral anticoagulants are widely prescribed drugs. Interruption of anticoagulant therapy prior to oral surgery has been an issue of great controversy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of bleeding complications after dental extractions in patients on anticoagulant therapy (warfarin) in whom different local hemostatic methods were used. Material and methods Patients using warfari...

Oliveira, Francisco Artur Forte; Fernandes, Clarissa Pessoa; Araujo, Kenia Samara Barbosa; Alves, Ana Paula Negreiros Nunes; Sousa, Fabrício BituAim: To present the clinical findings of a patient with Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP), highlighting peculiarities of dental treatment in patients with this condition. Background: FOP is a rare genetic disease characterized by skeletal malformations and ectopic ossifications in skeletal muscles, tendons, ligaments and aponeurosis. Exacerbation of these ossifications can be caused by dental treatmen...
