OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of a combination of topical corticosteroids with topical antimycotic drugs in the therapy of atrophic-erosive forms of oral lichen planus (OLP).

PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study population consisted of 60 patients with OLP subdivided into three groups matched for sex and age. The first group (25 patients) and the second group (24 patients) received respectively 0.05% clobetasol propionate ointment or 0.05% fluocinonide ointment in an adhesive medium (4% ...

BackgroundSeveral studies in the past have investigated the expression of micro RNAs (miRNAs) in saliva as potential biomarkers. Since miRNAs associated with extracellular vesicles (EVs) are known to be protected from enzymatic degradation, we evaluated whether salivary EVs from patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) were enriched with specific subsets of miRNAs.MethodsOSCC patients and controls were matched with regards to age, gender and risk factors. Total RNA was extracted ...

BACKGROUND: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease that can be painful, especially in the atrophic and erosive forms. Several drugs have been used with varying results, but most treatments are empirical, and do not have adequate control groups or correct study designs.

OBJECTIVES: To compare the effectiveness of clobetasol and ciclosporin in the topical management of OLP and to evaluate which is more cost-effective and which gives the longest remission from signs and ...

Most lymphocytes in the lamina propria of oral lichen planus (OLP) lesions express and secrete interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), whereas they do not secret interleukin-4 and -10 or transforming growth factor-beta. We analyzed whether the polymorphisms of several cytokines may influence the susceptibility to OLP. Cytokine typing was performed by a sequence-specific PCR assay. Thirteen cytokine genes with 22 single-nucleotide polymorphisms were ...

The most important complication of oral lichen planus (OLP) is the development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) but this is a very controversial matter. The aim of the study was to estimate in a Northern Italian cohort of OLP patients the risk for OSCC. Four hundred and two patients with histologically confirmed OLP diagnosed from January 1988 to July 1999, were followed-up to the end of February 2001. The standardized incidence ratio (SIR) of OSCC was calculated for the entire ...

To assess the aetiology of liver disease associated with lichen planus, we prospectively studied 70 consecutive newly diagnosed patients with oral lichen planus (OLP) living in northwest Italy (Piemonte) and 70 controls matched for age and sex with other oral keratoses coming from the same district. Twenty-two patients with OLP (31.4%) and 9 controls (12.9%) were found to be affected by chronic liver disease (CLD) (P = 0.014). In sixteen of the 22 OLP patients with CLD the liver disease ...

BACKGROUND: Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) includes a range of variants frequently having oral, particularly gingival, lesions. It has been suggested that MMP exclusively involving the oral cavity could be a distinct subset, but the immunological status of patients with predominantly oral lesions has received little attention.

METHODS: Indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) on normal human skin and normal human salt-split skin (SSS) as a substrate and immunoblotting on extracts of human ...

OBJECTIVE: Even though diagnostic oral exfoliative cytology is a useful, economical and practical tool in the diagnosis of oral dysplasia and carcinoma, it is not yet extensively used. The results of conventional exfoliative and liquid-based diagnostic cytology in oral potentially malignant lesions (PML) are herein reported and compared with the histological diagnosis.

METHODS: Either conventional (89) or liquid-based (384) exfoliative cytology was used for the diagnosis of oral ...

AIM: To assess the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions (OML) and evaluate its association with tobacco and alcohol consumption and the wearing of removable dentures in an adult population from the Turin area, Italy.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study, based on an invitational self-selected screening, was performed on 4098 subjects. It included clinical examination plus biopsies when necessary. Patient history included age, sex, denture wearing and risk habits. Internationally ...

Comparison between low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and clonazepam for treating burning mouth syndrome (BMS) patients has never been documented; the aim of this study was to assess the effects of LLLT photobiomodulation versus medical therapy with clonazepam on BMS. Thirty-three patients (25 female, 8 male, mean age = 67.12) were randomly allocated to two different groups: the first one (group A, 18 patients) underwent two laser irradiation sessions weekly for 5 weeks, whereas the second ...

BACKGROUND: Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) used to be considered as a single entity but it is now evident that a range of variants exists. Among them, pure ocular cicatricial pemphigoid (OCP) and pure oral pemphigoid (OP) appear to be very different subsets. Previous immunogenetics studies have found increased occurrence of the DQB1*0301 allele mainly in patients with OCP whereas in patients with OP the data are more open to doubt.

OBJECTIVES: To analyse HLA predisposition in a group ...

To date there are still no reliable biomarkers for oral potentially malignant disorders (PMDs) to predict the risk of progression to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Within a prospective clinical trial of patients with PMDs, DNA content flow cytometry (DNA FCM) was evaluated for 60 PMDs using fresh samples obtained by a dermatological curette. There were 6/42 PMDs without dysplasia, but with DNA aneuploidy, versus 8/18 with both dysplasia and aneuploidy (p=0.02). When the tongue and the ...

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease that can be painful, mainly in the atrophic and erosive forms. Numerous drugs have been used with dissimilar results, but most treatments are empirical and do not have adequate control groups or correct study designs. However, to date, the most commonly employed and useful agents for the treatment of LP are topical corticosteroids. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial has been designed to compare the efficacy and ...

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the degree and causes of underdiagnosis of incisional biopsy in oral potentially malignant lesions (PML).

DESIGN: Cross-sectional retrospective study.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: All pathology slides (incisional biopsy and resection specimen) from 46 patients with oral PML were reviewed and scored blind. The provisional diagnosis was considered in order to provide underdiagnosis or overdiagnosis according to whether this score was lower or higher than the final ...
