The aim of the present study was to identify and analyze scientific evidence available in the literature to answer the following question: Are psychological disorders associated with the development of oral lichen planus (OLP)? Using scientific databases (PubMed, LILACS, and Science Direct), a literature search was conducted between December 2016 and January 2017, using previously selected keywords. Two independent reviewers critically assessed the results in three stages, strictly obeying the inclusion and exclusion criteria defined in the study protocol. We assessed paper quality based on STROBE (Strengthening The Reporting of Observational studies in Epidemiology). After analysis, we selected 14 papers, of which 10 showed evidence of association between psychological disorders (in particular, stress, anxiety, and depression) and the development of OLP. The paper-quality assessment by means of STROBE showed that 13 papers presented intermediate quality and one paper presented high quality. In the present systematic review, we found an association between psychological disorders and the development of OLP.

Objetivo: realizar uma revisão integrativa sobre a associação entre o câncer de boca e a infecção pelo HPV. Método: foi realizada uma busca bibliográfica na base de dados científicos PubMed, utilizando descritores previamente selecionados. Dois revisores independentes avaliaram criticamente os resultados, obedecendo estritamente aos critérios de inclusão e exclusão definidos no protocolo do estudo. Além disso, a qualidade dos artigos foi avaliada considerando o Strengthening the reporting of observational studies in Epidemiology (STROBE). Resultados: Após a análise dos artigos, foram selecionados doze artigos, desses, sete mostraram ocorrência de HPV em pacientes com câncer de boca, e apenas dois estudos mostraram o HPV como possível etiologia para o câncer oral. Conclusão: não foi possível associar a presença do HPV à etiologia do câncer de boca, necessitando que mais estudos sejam realizados a fim de analisar melhor essa associação.

Objective: To evaluate the knowledge of patients treated in a public University concerning dental avulsion and its emergency first-aid management. Material and Methods: Three hundred patients were invited to answer a questionnaire about demographic characteristics, attitude and knowledge of first-aid management of dental avulsion. Chi-square test was used to assess the association between knowledge about dental replantation and education level. Results: Female gender (66.7%) aged from 31 to 40 years (31.3%) with high school education (50.3%) predominated among all the participants. It was not found a difference between education level and management of avulsed permanent teeth (p=0.076), and 66% of the respondents were not able to do the replantation. In relation to the management of avulsed tooth, 42.7% of the respondents would brush the tooth and if the replantation was not possible, most of them would choose inappropriate media for storage. The association between the storage medium and educational level showed to be statistically significant (p=0.043). Conclusion: It was possible to notice the lack of knowledge about this subject, and it could result in the worst prognosis. In avulsion cases, the subsequent root resorptions may lead to the loss of the child's tooth. It is important to implement educational campaigns to spread knowledge and improve success rates of permanent avulsed teeth.
A Displasia Ectodérmica (DE) é uma desordem genética rara que afeta cabelos, pêlos, unhas e dentes, resultando em manifestações orais significativas, geralmente percebidas na infância. O objetivo deste trabalho foi revisar na literatura a atuação do cirurgião-dentista frente à DE em pacientes pediátricos. Tratou-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura, descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa, realizada no período de agosto de 2020 a maio de 2021, no portal da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Scielo e Pubmed, sendo selecionados 18 artigos do tipo relato de caso. A média de idade dos pacientes dos estudos variou entre 2 a 14 anos. As manifestações intraorais comumente encontradas foram a hipodontia e oligodontia, seguidas de alterações morfólogicas, enquanto que a anodontia foi considerada rara em casos de DE. O grau de complexidade da síndrome e a manifestação dos sintomas irão ditar a escolha do tratamento, que pode variar entre as resinas compostas, ortodontia e próteses parciais fixas ou remomíveis e totais. A atuação do cirurgião-dentista desde o diagnóstico até a reabilitação definitiva auxilia o paciente em seu amplo aspecto biopsicossocial, reduzindo, portanto, os impactos negativos na qualidade de vida dos individuos afetados.
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.
