“…15 Previous studies have described an increase in OML in psoriasis, 31,32 especially fissured tongue and geographic tongue. 10 This study recorded no cases of geographic or fissured tongue and there was no significant difference in OML frequency between the groups. This may relate to the fact that all patients with psoriasis in the study were on systemic or biologic medication, and therefore disease activity was controlled.…”

Background Poor oral health (OH) is a risk factor for systemic disease and lower quality of life (QoL). Patients with inflammatory dermatologic/rheumatologic diseases report more oral discomfort, dry mouth, and periodontal disease than controls. Medications used to treat these conditions can also adversely affect OH. Objectives The aim was to assess the OH of patients with chronic inflammatory dermatologic/rheumatologic diseases treated with systemic/biologic therapy, compared to controls. Methods Patients with chronic inflammatory dermatologic/rheumatologic diseases treated with systemic/biologic therapy were recruited from outpatient clinics across two university hospitals. All patients had a standardized World Health Organisation OH assessment performed consisting of an OH exam and questionnaire. Age‐ and sex‐matched controls without chronic inflammatory disease were recruited from a pigmented lesion clinic. Charts of patients with chronic inflammatory dermatologic/rheumatologic diseases were reviewed to assess OH documentation. Results One hundred patients were examined (50 cases and 50 controls). Patients with inflammatory dermatologic/rheumatologic diseases (cases) had poorer periodontal status (mean loss of attachment 6.9 mm vs. 1.9 mm controls, p = 0.01), more missing teeth (mean 7.7 vs. 4.4 controls, p = 0.029), more dry mouth (82% vs. 20% controls, p = 0.001), and less frequent tooth brushing (60% vs. 80% controls, p = 0.037). Of 250 patient charts which were reviewed, 98.4% (n = 246) had no documentation of OH. Conclusion Patients with severe inflammatory dermatologic/rheumatologic conditions have poorer OH and OH‐related QoL. Clinicians should appreciate the risk of poor OH in this cohort and have a low threshold for involving OH professionals in care pathways for severe inflammatory disease.

“…Notable mechanisms of irritation that may give rise to fibrous hyperplasia include injury of the buccal mucosa secondary to biting, prosthetic maladjustments, diastemas, restorations or fractured teeth and trauma caused by orthodontic appliances. 3 In addition, psychological disorders such as stress, anxiety and irritability can also favor the development of the lesion [1,2,3].…”

Aims: the objective of the present study is to report a clinical case aimed at the diagnosis and treatment of a traumatic fibroma located in the region of the unilateral buccal mucosa based on clinical and histopathological examination. Case Report: A 43-year-old male patient, melanoderma, attended the Nilton Lins University dental clinic reporting the existence of a large nodule in the cheek region. Based on the clinical appearance of the lesion, the diagnostic hypothesis of traumatic fibroma was established; therefore, the surgical excision of the lesion was determined for subsequent referral to confirm the hypothesis. The removed content was transferred to a container containing a 10% formaldehyde solution and sent to the Department of Pathology and Legal Medicine of the Federal University of Amazonas for histopathological analysis, which disclosed benign epithelial thickening with parakeratosis and underlying connective tissue hyperplasia. Given the characteristics presented in the analyzed histological picture, the definitive diagnosis was reactive fibroepithelial hyperplasia. Conclusion: Establishing a preliminary diagnosis of the lesion was essential for planning the surgical procedure. The use of the conventional technique for the removal of the reactive fibroepithelial hyperplasia obtained satisfactory results, both for the postoperative recovery and for the infeasibility of recurrence, thus providing satisfactory comfort to the patient.
