Introduction: Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is a virus prevalent in the general population and is considered a sexually transmitted infection, and can be transmitted by non-sexual forms such as casual contact and vertical transmission. The virus is considered the etiologic agent of some carcinomas, inducing the appearance of pathologies such as cervical cancer and oropharyngeal cancer. When it occurs in children, it may be the first indication of sexual abuse, emphasizing that sexual assault represents the main form of contamination by human papillomavirus (HPV) in children from five years old. Objective: To report a case of diagnosis of injury from the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and identification of sexual abuse in a child, with the purpose of showing the importance of pediatric dentistry in the diagnosis of violence suffered by patients, raising awareness among the dental class. Results and Discussion: The closest family members are the main responsible and often the child aggressors themselves and, therefore, it is worth noting that those responsible for mistreating their children hardly take their children to the pediatric dentist more than once, in order not to be discovered4. Thus, it is up to the professional to pay attention to the child's behaviour during the consultation and carry out detailed anamnesis and clinical examination. Final considerations: In addition, the professional has the obligation of reporting cases of abuse to the competent body, thus promoting the removal of the child abuser and preventing further episodes like this from continuing to cause traumas in them.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the second cause of morbidity and mortality in Brazil is cancer. Malignant neoplasm of the head and neck is considered one of the main tumors in Brazil and in the world, with high mortality rates. This is due to the diagnosis, which is made late, often when the disease has advanced clinical stages, reaching metastasis. This work is a descriptive study of secondary data carried out through a survey by the Department of Informatics of the Brazilian Unified Health System. After obtaining the data, they were tabulated. A literature review was also carried out to support the research, using the Google Academic, Scielo and Pubmed platforms. The analysis was performed using mortality data from malignant neoplasms of the lip, oral cavity and pharynx in Pernambuco from 1996 to 2019 and, according to the survey, 6,121 deaths were registered. The data showed a higher mortality rate in males; patients between 55 and 64 years old; in addition to brown people. The highest number of deaths in individuals with less education was also observed. Although studies on the prevention and cure of cancer are currently intermittent, the data analyzed show that the rates of appearance of new cases have grown in recent years and tend to increase in the next due to daily life habits. Thus, it is important to invest in research aimed at inhibiting the appearance of new neoplasms.
Introduction: Candidiasis or Candidosis are designated names designated as infectious names for fungi of the genus Candida spp., which establish a commensal relationship with the immune system when the system is depressed or by some pathogenic infections. As proposals of oral candidiasis can be hyperplastic in primary and secondary cited by the following types: pseudoplastic, erythematous, pseudomembrane, erythematous; there is a category called “lesions also associated with Candida spp.”, which includes denture stomatitis (PE). Knowing the relationship between the development of the disease and the use of dental prosthesis, the present work aims to carry out a literature review on the subject. Methodology: This is a descriptive work with a qualitative aspect of literature review, where they were used as sources of scientific and scientific research. The search platforms used were PubMed, Scielo and the Virtual Health Library. Results and discussion: The presence of devices or devices such as appliances or orthodontic appliances can provoke or modify the best of the microbiota, due to the physical-bio oral environment. In addition, the prosthesis is often related to the use of oral prostheses, such as traumatic ulcers, mucogingival hyperplasia and many oral candidiasis. One of the causes of PE is the proper use of the prosthesis, which, associated with poor hygiene, can be a factor that potentiates the disease; therefore, it is extremely important that the patient is advised about the risk of developing the condition and how to avoid it. Final considerations: The relationship between the use of dental prosthesis and the development of oral candidiasis is well related in the literature. Therefore, dental professionals must take care of patients who use the device for disease care, seeking to improve the possibility of disease development.
Introduction: Dentistry currently plays an important role in the different therapeutic phases against cancer, whether in the phase that precedes cancer treatment, where a previous evaluation can effectively reduce complications arising from infectious or inflammatory processes of oral origin, which can exacerbate during treatment. and after neoplastic treatment, or in the prevention of oral sequelae that occur during and after radiotherapy treatment. Objectives: To carry out a literature review on the oral manifestations resulting from radiotherapy, addressing the management and treatment of complications. Materials and methods: This is a descriptive work with a qualitative aspect of literature review, where scientific articles and books were used as research sources. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 96 studies were found and 22 were selected. Results and discussion: The oral manifestations resulting from radiotherapy are well recognized in the literature and the most frequent are oral mucositis, xerostomia, loss of taste, trismus and osteoradionecrosis. Conclusion: Adequacy of medium before radiotherapy treatment is widely recommended in the literature as a prevention of oral manifestations resulting from cancer treatment. In addition, dental follow-up of the patient during cancer treatment is necessary, for this, it is recommended that the dentist be part of the multidisciplinary oncology team. Thus, combining prevention with follow-up, it is possible to obtain a reduction in the rates of involvement of these manifestations and, consequently, less interruption of treatment and an improvement in the quality of life of radiotherapy patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
