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,
such as in... hiện toàn bộ
Vitamin C: the known and the unknown and Goldilocks Tập 22 Số 6 - Trang 463-493 - 2016
SJ Padayatty, Mark Levine
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), the antiscorbutic vitamin, cannot be synthesized by
humans and other primates, and has to be obtained from diet. Ascorbic acid is an
electron donor and acts as a cofactor for fifteen mammalian enzymes. Two
sodium‐dependent transporters are specific for ascorbic acid, and its oxidation
product dehydroascorbic acid is transported by glucose transporters. Ascorbic
acid is d... hiện toàn bộ
Human papillomaviruses in oral carcinoma and oral potentially malignant disorders: a systematic review Tập 17 Số s1 - Trang 58-72 - 2011

Oral Diseases (2011) 17 (Suppl. 1), 58–72Objectives: Human papillomavirus (HPV)
in oral carcinoma (OSCC) and potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) is
controversial. The primary aim was to calculate pooled risk estimates for the
association of HPV with OSCC and OPMD when compared with healthy oral mucosa as
controls. We also examined the effects of sampling techniques on HPV detection
rates.Metho... hiện toàn bộ
Biofilm lifestyle of Candida: a mini review Tập 14 Số 7 - Trang 582-590 - 2008
CJ Seneviratne, LJ Jin, LP Samaranayake
Candida is the major fungal pathogen of humans causing a variety of afflictions
ranging from superficial mucosal diseases to deep seated mycoses. Biofilm
formation is a major virulence factor in the pathogenicity of Candida, and
Candida biofilms are difficult to eradicate especially because of their very
high antifungal resistance. Consequently, research into the pathogenicity of
Candida has focus... hiện toàn bộ
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
squamous cell... hiện toàn bộ
Rate of malignant transformation of oral lichen planus: A systematic review Tập 25 Số 3 - Trang 693-709 - 2019
Michele Giuliani, Giuseppe Troiano, Massimo Cordaro, Massimo Corsalini, Gioele Gioco, Lorenzo Lo Muzio, Pamela Pignatelli, Carlo Lajolo
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 MethodsPubMed, Scopus,
and Web of Science were used as search engines: only observational, full‐length,

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. In other patients complaining of malodour, this is imagined rather
than re... hiện toàn bộ
The validation of self‐reported smoking status by analysing cotinine levels in stimulated and unstimulated saliva, serum and urine Tập 10 Số 5 - Trang 287-293 - 2004
Vivian Binnie, Stacey Mchugh, L.M.D. Macpherson, B Borland, KERRY J. MOIR, K. Malik
Objectives: Cotinine, a nicotine metabolite, can be used to measure exposure to
tobacco smoke. The aim of this study was to compare cotinine levels in different
biological fluids collected from both smokers and non‐smokers and to relate the
findings to self‐reported smoking status. Data were also collected concerning
the acceptability of the differing methods of sample collection.Material and

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,
gingivitis and... hiện toàn bộ
