Background: 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....
Oral Potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) enroll a set of conditions defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as oral lesions that have been shown to be associated with an increased risk of malignant transformation. Sometimes, these lesions present oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) with different degrees, which can be predictors of malignancy. In this context, aiming to understand the process of progress...
Objectives: 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 ...
