No full textObjective. The confocal laser scanning microscope represents an effective tool for studying biological samples stained for fluorescence observation. In this study we have used the confocal microscope to analyze ghost cells in calcifying cystic odontogenic tumors.Study design. Specimens from 15 calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor cases were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and scanned by a confocal laser scanning microscope to generate optically sectioned images.Results. All of the analyzed samples presented autofluorescent cells that were identified as ghost cells. The degree of autofluorescence intensity was variable and may be a result of the presence of hard keratin.Conclusion. The confocal laser scanning microscope may be of help in analyzing and defining the nature and extent of keratinization processes in calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor ghost cells

No full textTraumatic ulcerative granuloma with stromal eosinophilia of the oral mucosa: histological and immunohistochemical analysis of three cases.
No full textTraumatic ulcerative granuloma with stromal eosinophilia is an ulcerated oral lesion which pathogenesis is still unclear. Clinically, this disease is characterized by the presence of chronic ulcerative lesions with elevated and indurated borders in the oral mucosa. It usually develops rapidly and persists for several weeks or months, it presents mainly on the tongue but other areas such as gingival, cheek and vestibular mucosa may also be involved. We report three cases showing their clinical, histological and immunohistochemical analysis. In this study the authors underline the importance of a correct differential diagnosis and monitoring of these patients in order to prevent the development of possible serious complications
Confocal laser scanning microscopy of liesegang rings in odontogenic cysts: analysis of three-dimensional image reconstruction
No full textLiesegang rings are concentric noncellular lamellar structures, occasionally found in inflammatory tissues. They have been confused with various parasites, algas, calcification, and psammoma bodies. The authors examined Liesegang rings from oral inflammatory cysts by both optical and confocal laser scanning microscopy, and perfomed a three-dimensional reconstruction. These investigations indicate that Liesegang rings are composed of multiple birefringent concentric rings, resulting from a progressive deposition of organic substances, with an unclear pathogenesis
