Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in oral diseases Tập 10 Số 6 - Trang 311-318 - 2004
Timo Sorsa, Leo Tjäderhane, Tuula Salo
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of enzymes that in concert are responsible for the degradation of most extracellular matrix proteins during organogenesis, growth and normal tissue turnover. The expression and activity of MMPs in adult tissues is normally quite low, but increases significantly in various pathological conditions that may lead into unwanted tissue destruction, su...... hiện toàn bộ
Vitamin C: the known and the unknown and Goldilocks Tập 22 Số 6 - Trang 463-493 - 2016
SJ Padayatty, Mark Levine

Oral squamous cell carcinoma: overview of current understanding of aetiopathogenesis and clinical implications Tập 15 Số 6 - Trang 388-399 - 2009
C Scully, José Vicente Bagán Sebastián
MEDLINE contains well over 14 000 papers revealed by a search using keywords ‘oral squamous cell cancer’ or ‘oral squamous cell carcinoma’, over 27 000 using ‘oral carcinoma’ and over 48 000 using the keywords ‘oral cancer’. It is difficult to see how clinicians could keep abreast of such a subject. This paper attempts to help by providing an overview of the aetiopathogenesis of oral squam...... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this study was to systematically review the literature to determine: (a) the malignant transformation rate (TR) of oral lichen planus (OLP) and its risk factors; (b) whether or not oral lichenoid lesions (OLL) have a different malignant TR.Materials and Methods<...... hiện toàn bộ
Halitology (breath odour: aetiopathogenesis and management) Tập 18 Số 4 - Trang 333-345 - 2012
C Scully, John Greenman
Oral Diseases (2012) 18, 333–345This article reviews the aetiopathogenesis of halitosis (oral malodour) and management. Halitosis is any disagreeable breath odour. In most patients, the odour originates from the oral cavity. In some patients, it has an extra‐oral aetiology and, in a few, metabolic anomalies are responsible....... hiện toàn bộ
Oral sarcoidosis: a review of literature Tập 11 Số 3 - Trang 138-145 - 2005
Lakshmanan Suresh, Lida Radfar
Sarcoidosis is a common systemic granulomatous disease affecting multiple organs. Oral involvement is relatively rare and, to our knowledge, there have been only 64 cases reported in the English literature. Most cases of oral sarcoidosis present with mobility of the teeth due to rapid alveolar bone loss. Other oral manifestations include asymptomatic swelling of the involved mucosa, gingiv...... hiện toàn bộ
