Alergije na dentalne materijale
No full textUsna šupljina je konstantno izložena velikom broju potencijalno iritirajućih materijala. Tijekom dentalnog liječenja na oralnu sluznicu djeluje čak 10-15 različitih dentalnih materijala poput kovina ili akrilata koji mogu nepovoljno djelovati na oralnu sluznicu i uzrokovati alergijsku reakciju.
Kliničke manifestafije kontaktne preosjetljivosti usne šupljine mogu se manifestirati u vidu boli, žarenja, suhoće usta te crvenila, erozija, ulceracija i edematozne sluznice.
Navedene kronične promjene najčešće su povezane s dugotrajnom izloženosti usne šupljine dentalnim kovinama, akrilatima , kompozitima i drugim materijalima.
Alergijske reakcije mogu se manifestirati kao rane ili kasne. Klinički primjeri rane reakcije preosjetljivosti su urtikarije, Quinckeov edem te lokalizirana ili generalizirana anafilaksija. U dentalnoj medicini susrećemo se češće sa reacijama kasne preosjetljivosti.
Pacijent rijetko sam prepozna kliničke manifestacije i uzrok, stoga nam je važna dobra anamneza i klinički pregled za određivanje dijagnoze.
Najbolja dijagnostička metoda za dokazivanje alergena je patch test.
Terapija alergije se prvenstveno bazira na uklanjanju uzroka i zamjenu alergena sa drugim dentalnim materijalom.The oral cavity is constantly exposed to a large number of potentially irritating and sensitizing substances. About 10 – 15 different metals, as well as synthetic resin, and other dental materials may act on the buccal mucosa during routine dental treatment.
The clinical manifestations of contact hypersensitivity in the mouth vary from subjective difficulties such as pain, burning and dryness of the mucosa to reddish, erosions, ulcers and edematous mucose.
These chronic changes are most often associated with long-term exposure of the oral mucosa to dental metals, acrylates, composite materials and other substances.
The types of allergic reactions are early or anaphylactoid type and allergic reactions of the delayed or late type.
Some clinical examples of early reaction is urticaria, Quincke’s edema and local or generalized anaphylaxis. Late type of allergy is most comon in dental treatement.
The localization and distribution of the clinical features often help in the diagnosis, since the patient rarely ever recognizes the connection of his disorder with a specific allergen.
Patch test is the best routine examination method to test allergens. Treatement of dental allergy is based on remove allergen materials from oral cavity and replace it with other dental material
Oral helath evaluation in the institutionalized elderly
Full text linkUvod: Udio starije populacije u svijetu ubrzano povećava, a povećava se i interes za oralno
zdravlje starijih osoba. Oralno zdravlje predstavlja važan dio općeg zdravlja, a uključuje
zdravlje cjelokupne usne šupljine odnosno zdravlje zuba, parodontnog tkiva, sluznice i
žlijezda slinovnica.
Cilj: Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi pojavnost bolesti oralne sluznice, analizirati i usporediti
stanje parodonta zuba i način provoñenja oralno higijenskih postupaka, utvrditi i usporediti
dentalni i protetski status, analizirati povezanost upotrebe stomatoloških materijala i pojave
oralnih promjena te utvrditi povezanost izmeñu pojave sustavnih bolesti i terapije lijekovima s
oralnim bolestima kod osoba u ustanovi za starije i nemoćne osobe i osoba koje žive
samostalno.
Ispitanici i postupci: U istraživanje su bilo uključeno 341 ispitanika, 280 osobe smještene u
ustanovi i 61 osoba koja živi samostalno. Postupak obrade svakog ispitanika sastojao se iz
uzimanja anamnestičkih podataka, kliničkog pregleda usne šupljine i dijagnostičkih
postupaka.
Rezultati: Kod osoba smještenih u ustanovi za starije i nemoćne zabilježen je značajno veći
broj oralnih sluzničnih promjena (p=0,016). Kod osoba smještenih u ustanovi za starije i
nemoćne zabilježen je značajno niži nivo lučenja sline (p=0,001) te je jače izražen osjećaj
suhoće usne šupljine (p=0,001) i promjena okusa (p=0,035). Pored toga, kod većeg broja
osoba iste skupine zabilježena je kolonizacija Candida species i oralna kandidijaza u
usporedbi s osobama koje žive samostalno (p<0,001). Značajna razlika zabilježena izmeñu
skupina u KEP indeksu (p<0,001). Takoñer je zabilježeno lošije parodontološko stanje
ispitanika u ustanovi (p<0,017). Kod manjeg broja osoba u ustanovi provedena je protetska
rehabilitacija (p=0,0009). Zaključci: osobe u ustanovi su značajno više zahvaćene oralnim sluzničnim bolestima,
oralnim subjektivnim smetnjama, imaju lošije parodontološko stanje te su slabije protetski
rehabilitirani nego osobe koje žive samostalno.Introduction: There is a growing interest in the oral health of elderly people as the size of
this population is increasing around the world. Oral health is important part of general health
and includes teeth, periodontal health, oral mucosal health and prosthetic rehabilitation.
The aims of this study were to examine the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions and oral
sensorial complaints, as well as periodontal health and oral hygiene level between the
institutionalized and non-institutionalized elderly. Also, the aims were to determine dental
status, prosthetic status and influence of dental material to oral tissue between groups.
Material and methods: The study involved two groups of elderly subjects: the
institutionalized residing in a nursing home in Rijeka and the non-institutionalized elderly. A
total of 341 subjects were included, 280 institutionalized and 61 non- institutionalized. All
patients underwent an oral examination to detect underlying oral diseases related to oral
symptoms. The examination consisted of complete anamnesis and clinical status according to
registration form designed for this purpose.
Results: The prevalence of oral mucosal lesions was significantly higher in the
institutionalized elderly compared with the non-institutionalized elderly (p=0,016). Low
salivary flow was found to be more common in the institutionalized elderly than in the noninstitutionalized
elderly (p=0,001), as well as dry mouth (p=0,001) and taste disturbance
(p=0,035).Significantly higher level of oral colonization with Candida species and oral
candidiasis were found in the institutionalized elderly comparing to the non-institutionalized
elderly (p<0,001). A significant difference was observed between the groups in DMFT index
(p<0,001). Institutionalized elderly had worse periodontal health (p<0,017). Lower number of
prosthetic appliances was observed in the institutionalized elderly (p=0, 0009).
Conclusions: It can be concluded that the institutionalized elderly are significantly affected
with oral mucosal lesions and oral sensorial complaints. They also have worse periodontal health and lower number of prosthetic appliances compared with the non-institutionalized
elderly
Efectiveness of biostimulative therapy in patients with atypical orofacial pain
No full textCilj istraživanja: Cilj ovog istraživanja je istražiti učinkovitost različitih valnih duljina laserskog zračenja u liječenju orofacijalne boli mjerenjem smanjenja boli pomoću vizualne analogne ljestvice (VAS). Ovo istraživanje pružit će značajan doprinos u liječenju atipične orofacijalne boli poglavito njenog najčešćeg oblika a to je sindrom pekućih usta.
Ispitanici i metode: U istraživanje je uključeno 30 pacijenata s dijagnosticiranim sindromom pekućih usta. Svaki je pacijent procijenjen prema subjektivnom izvješćivanju o boli: 0-10 VAS. Orofacijalna bol kvantificirana je VAS-om, gdje je 0 označavalo „bez boli“, a 10 „najgoru moguću bol“ .Pacijenti su zatim liječeni s niskoenergetskim laserom (LLLT) 5 dana tjedno tijekom 4 uzastopna tjedna s 660 nm ili 810 nm.
Rezultati: Dobiveni rezultati analizirani su u dvije skupine. Prva skupina obuhvaćala je petnaest ispitanika koji su liječeni laserom od 660 nm dok je drugu skupinu ispitanika činila skupina od također petnaest sudionika istraživanja koji su liječeni laserom od 810 nm. Parametri koji su istraživani je procjena boli prije i nakon liječenja laserom.Usporedba osjećaja boli prije i nakon terapije laserom valne duljine 660 nm pokazala je da je razlika statistički značajna (z = 2,93; P = 0.003). Usporedba osjećaja boli prije i nakon terapije laserom valne duljine 810 nm pokazala je da je razlika također statistički značajna (z = 3,29; P < 0.001).
Zaključak: Prema današnjim spoznajama razumno je pretpostaviti da biostimulativni učinak LLLT ima povoljan učinak na liječenje boli i kvalitetu života u sindromu pekućih usta. Naši rezultati dobiveni mjerenjem boli pomoću vizualne analogne skale pokazuju da je liječenje niskoenergetskim laserom valnih duljina 660 nm i 810 nm imalo za ishod statistički značajno smanjenje boli kod sindroma pekućih usta. U budućnosti su svakako neophodna daljnja istraživanja koja bi rasvjetlila postojeće nedoumice u liječenju i dovela do standardiziranog protokola liječenja.Objectives: The aim of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of different wavelengths of laser radiation in the treatment of orofacial pain by measuring pain reduction using a visual analog scale (VAS). This research will provide a significant contribution to the treatment of atypical orofacial pain, especially its most common form, which is the burning mouth syndrome.
Participants and Methods: 30 patients diagnosed with burning mouth syndrome were included in the study. Each patient was evaluated according to the subjective reporting of pain: 0-10 VAS. Orofacial pain was quantified by the VAS, where 0 indicated “no pain” and 10 “worst possible pain.” Patients were then treated with low level laser therapy (LLLT) 5 days per week for 4 consecutive weeks with 660 nm or 810 nm.
Results: The obtained results were analyzed in two groups. The first group included 15 subjects who were treated with a 660 nm laser, while the second group of subjects consisted of a group of 15 research participants who were treated with an 810 nm laser. The parameters that were investigated was the assessment of pain before and after laser treatment. Comparison of pain sensation before and after laser therapy with a wavelength of 660 nm showed that the difference was statistically significant (z = 2.93; P = 0.003). Comparison of pain sensation before and after 810 nm laser therapy showed that the difference was statistically significant (z = 3.29; P < 0.001).
Conslusion: According to today's knowledge, it is reasonable to assume that the biostimulatory effect of LLLT has a beneficial effect on the treatment of pain and the quality of life in burning mouth syndrome. Our results obtained by measuring pain using a visual analog scale show that treatment with low-energy lasers of wavelengths 660 nm and 810 nm resulted in a statistically significant reduction in pain in burning mouth syndrome. In the future, further research is certainly necessary, which would shed light on existing doubts in treatment and lead to a standardized treatment protocol
Poremećaji prehrane i njihov utjecaj na stomatognati sustav
No full textPoremećaji prehrane karakteriziraju silan i neodoljiv nagon da se bude mršav te patološki strah od dobivanja na težini i gubitka kontrole nad jedenjem.
Većinom taj poremećaj pogađa ženske osobe i pojavljuje se tijekom mladenačke, ali isto tako i rane odrasle dobi. Uzroci poremećaja prehrane su i dalje nejasni. Pretpostavlja se da veliku ulogu igraju genetska predispozicija, psihički utjecaji, biokemijski čimbenici, karakter osobe kao i socioekonomski status.
Poremećaji prehrane se mogu nadvladavati i važno je da oboljela osoba što ranije zatraži savjet i liječenje, budući da poremećaji prehrane mogu ostaviti ozbiljne fizičke i psihološke posljedice. Fizičke posljedice anoreksije i bulimije mogu biti vrlo teške, ali se uglavnom mogu ispraviti ako se bolest liječi u ranom stadiju. Međutim, ako se ne liječe, teški oblici anoreksije i bulimije mogu završiti smrtno. Među fizičkim posljedicama pribrojavaju se i utjecaji na stomatognati sustav.
Oralne manifestacije poremećaja prehrane su najčešći i najočitiji znakovi koji se mogu pronaći među oboljelima od anoreksije i bulimije. Neke od tih karakteristika pojavljuju se samo ponekad, a neke kod svih oboljelih. Promjene na stomatognatom sustavu uključuju promjene fiziognomije, žlijezda slinovnica, oralne sluznice, gingive i parodonta, tvrdih zubnih tkiva kao i promjene u temporomandibularnom zglobu. Liječnik dentalne medicine može mnogo toga učiniti u smanjenju i uklanjanju tih štetnih posljedica koje su vidljive u usnoj šupljini.
Ipak, uloga liječnika dentalne medicine nije samo uklanjanje oralnih simptoma, nego i aktivno sudjelovanje u psihofizičkom oporavku takvih pacijenata što ujedno i znači podizanje kvalitete života.Eating disorders are characterized by a strong impulse to be thin as well as by a pathological fear of gaining weight and losing control over eating. It primarily affects women during adolescence or early adulthood. The precise cause of eating disorder is not entirely understood, although it is supposed to be due to genetic predisposition, psychological influences, biochemical factors as well as personality traits and socioeconomic status.
Eating disorders can be effectively treated. It is important to seek medical advice and treatment as soon as possible because these disorders have severe physical and psychological consequences. The physical ones can be quite severe but if treated on time they can be fixed. However, if not treated, some types of anorexia and bulimia can be fatal. The stomatognathic system can also be influenced.
Oral manifestations of eating disorders are the most common and obvious ones among people with anorexia and bulimia. Some of these appear only sometimes, and some always. Changes in the stomatognathic system include physiognomic changes, changes in the salivary glands, oral mucosa, gingiva and periodontium, hard tooth tissues as well as changes in the temporomandibular joint. A dentist can do a lot in lessening and removing the effects which are visible in the oral cavity.
However, the dentist’s role is not only to remove the oral symptoms but also to take part in the psychophysical recovery of such patients resulting in improving their quality of life

No full textCilj istraživanja: Opći cilj ovog istraživanja je ispitati učestalost pojavljivanja oralnih
manifestacija nakon bolesti COVID-19 kod studenata FDMZ-a.
Nacrt studije: Presječno istraživanje provedeno na studentima dentalne medicine
Ispitanici i metode: Ispitanici koji su sudjelovali u istraživanju su studenti Fakulteta za dentalnu
medicinu i zdravstvo u Osijeku. Kriterij za sudjelovanje u istraživanju je da su svi sudionici,
njih 169 preboljeli bolest COVID-19. Anketno ispitivanje je provedeno u svibnju 2022. godine.
Upitnik koji su ispunjavali je napravljen samostalno te su uz njega ispitanici dobili informirani
pristanak. Ispitanici su ispunili odgovore na upitniku koji su imali sljedeće dvije skupine
podataka: opći podaci o ispitanicima (dob i spol) i 14 pitanja o problemima vezanim uz zube,
proteze, čeljusti, čeljusne zglobove ili usnu šupljinu na koje su bili predviđeni samo odgovori
„da“ i „ne“ .
Rezultati: Ukupni broj ispitanika bio je 169, od toga 115 (68%) žena i 54 (32%) muškarca.
Oralne manifestacije bolesti COVID-19 češće pogađaju žene. Gubitak osjeta okusa potvrdilo
je 137 studenata, a kod 59 ispitanika pojavljuju se promjene na oralnoj sluznici. Postoji
statistička povezanost te dvije činjenice s nezadovoljstvom u prehrani nakon preboljenja
infekcije.
Zaključak: Najčešće ispitanici imaju jednu oralnu poteškoću uslijed infekcije SARS-CoV-2
virusom, a najčešća je gubitak osjeta okusa gdje je njih 81% potvrdno odgovorilo. Istraživanje
će se kasnije moći koristiti za uspoređivanje s ostalima ili kao popratna literatura za novi članakObjective: The general objective of this research is to examine the frequency of occurrence of
oral manifestations in students of FDMZ after the COVID-19 disease.
Study plan: Cross-sectional research conducted on students of dental medicine
Participants and Methodology: The respondents who participated in the research are students
of the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Health in Osijek. A criterion for participation in the
research is that all participants, 169 of them, recovered from COVID-19 disease. A survey was
conducted in May of 2022. The questionnaire was self-made, and the participants also received
the informed consent document. Respondents’ answers referred to two sets of data:
respondents’ general information (age and sex) and 14 yes-no questions on problems related to
teeth, prostheses, jaws, jaw joints or oral cavity.
Results: The total number of respondents was 169, 115 (68%) of which were female and 54
(32%) were male. Oral manifestations of COVID-19 disease affect women more often. The loss
of the sense of taste was confirmed in 137 students, and 59 respondents encountered changes
in the oral mucosa. There exists statistical interconnection between the said two factors and
dissatisfaction with diet after the recovery of the disease.
Conclusion: Most frequently the respondents have one oral difficulty due to SARS-Cov-2 virus
infection, and the most common is the loss of sense of taste with 80% of the respondents
answering in the affirmative. In the future, the research may be used for comparison with other
studies or as accompanying literature for a new paper
Influence of adorning jewelry on changes in oral mucosa
No full textOralni “piercing” (od eng. riječi “pierce” što znači probušiti, probosti), iako neodobravan u velikom dijelu današnje populacije, postaje jako popularan u 21. stoljeću. Početci “piercing kulture” sežu u daleku prošlost, čak do drevnih Egipćana, Maya i Asteka. Kultura “pirsanja” , danas sve popularnija, ima različita simbolička i kulturološka značenja. Pojedini narodi ukrašavaju svoje tijelo bilo iż kulturnih ili religijskih utjecaja, dok određeni pojedinci stavljaju “piercing” kako bi ukrasili svoje tijelo, pripadali određenoj subkulturi ili jednostavno se izdvojili iz cjeline. Razlozi su šaroliki. Iako je sama kultura “pirsanja” u današnjem društvu praćena raznim negativnim, neodobravajućim komentarima, pravilnim izvođenjem istih (kod iskusnog “pirsera”, u idealnim higijenskim uvjetima i uz pažljivo održavanje), komplikacije i rizici postavljanja “piercinga”, svedeni su na minimum. Naravno, uz to jedna od najbitnijih stavki je da bi sama osoba koja se odluči na postavljanje oralnog nakita, trebala provoditi odličnu oralnu higijenu. Ovim radom također je dan odgovor na pitanje koje, između ostalog, muči i same doktore dentalne medicine: “Koliko oralni “piercing” utječe na promjene sluznice usne šupljine?” Provodeći istraživanje na tri ispitanice, pokazano je da oralni nakit ne utječe na promjene sluznice usne šupljine. Ona ostaje nepromijenjena.During time, oral piercing was never approved amongst people but it becomes very popular in the 21th century. Beginnings of “piercing culture” are very old, even from the time of old Egiptians, Mayas and Astecs. “Piercing culture” is nowdays very popular and it has different symbolic and cultural meanings. Some piercings are put on from cultural or religious reasons, and some people like to put piercings to decorate their body, or to became a part of some subculture. Some people like to have piercings just to be different or unique. Although the piercing culture today is followed with mostly bad thoughts and comments, doing it the wright way, (experienced piercer, great hygienic standards and with very good care), risks are declined to minimal. The most important thing is that the person who decided to put the piercing on, has a great oral hygiene. With this work we found out the answer on the question : „How much do the oral piercings influence changes in oral mucosa?” Making examination on three different people, we found out that the oral piercings do not influence on the changes in oral mucosa. It stays unchange
Uloga biostimulativne laserske terapije u liječenju kserostomije
No full textKserostomija nije bolest, ali može biti simptom različitih medicinskih stanja, nuspojava zračenja glave i vrata ili nuspojava različitih lijekova. Kako bi dijagnosticirali kserostomiju, koristimo se testovima prikupljanja sline (sijalometrija). Vrijednosti sveukupne sline koje su manje od 0,1 ml/min se smatraju kserostomijom, iako smanjena sekrecija ne mora uvijek biti povezana sa osjećajem suhoće.
Cilj našeg istraživanja je bio istražiti mogućnost povećanja salivarne sekrecije upotrebom niskoenergetske laserske terapije (low level laser therapy – LLLT). LLLT je neinvazivna, bezbolna i atermalna terapija, temeljena na biološkim stimulativno-regenerativnim, protuupalnim i analgetskim učincima. Također se pokazalo da LLLT ima virostatski i bakteriostatski učinak. Neka od objašnjenja analgetskog učinka niskoenergetske laserske terapije su : LLLT povećava stvaranje ATP-a, poboljšava lokalnu mikrocirkulaciju, povećava protok limfe, povisuje razinu serotonina i endorfina, pojačava protuupalno djelovanje putem smanjene sinteze prostaglandina. Zbog svog biostimulativnog učinka LLLT se naziva biostimulativnom laserskom terapijom. U našem istraživanju je sudjelovalo 20 ispitanika ( 15 žena i 5 muškaraca) dobi između 50 i 75 godina. Sveukupna nestimulirana slina je bila prikupljena prije i nakon terapije niskoenergetskim laserom. 20 ispitanika je bilo tretirano 5 dana u tjednu kroz 4 uzastopna tjedna sa Ga-Al-As (galij- aluminij-arsen) diodnim laserom od 685 nm. Rezultati su pokazali značajan porast salivarne sekrecije nakon terapije niskoenergetskim laserom. Stoga, možemo preporučiti niskoenergetsku lasersku terapiju kao učinkovitu metodu za poboljšanje kvalitete života bolesnika sa kserostomijom.Xerostomia is not a disease, but it may be a symptom of various medical conditions, a side effect of a radiation to the head and neck, or a side effect of a wide variety of medications. Xerostomia is frequently associated with decrease in the flow rate of saliva. We use salivary collection tests (sialometry) to diagnose xerostomia. Values of whole saliva that are less than 0,1 ml/min are tipically considerd xerostomic, although reduced flow may not always be associated with feeling of dryness.
The aim of our research was to investigate is it LLLT (low level laser therapy) able to increase salivary flow rate. LLLT is a non invasive, painless and athermal therapy, based on biological estimulative-regenerative, anti-inflammantory and analgesic effects. LLLT also appears to have a virustatic and bacteriostatic effect. Some explanation of analgesic effect of LLLT are: it increases ATP production, improves local microcirculation, increases lymphatic flow, increased serotonin and endorphins, increased anti-inflammatory effects trough reduced prostaglandin synthesis. Because of it´s biostimulative effect LLLT is also called biostimulative laser therapy. In our research participated 20 subjects (15 women and 5 men) between age of 50 and 75. The whole unstimulated saliva was collected before and after LLLT. 20 subjects were treated five days in week for four consecutive weeks with a 685 nm Ga-Al-As (Gallium-Aluminium-Arsenide) diode laser. Results showed significatively increased salivary flow rate after LLLT. Therefore, we may recommend LLLT as an effective method to improve the quality of life of patient with xerostomia
Diseases of the oral cavity: their prevalence and relationship with coronary heart disease : doctoral thesis
No full textCilj istraživanja: koronarna srčana bolest je većinom uzrokovana aterosklerozom. U
patogenezi ateroskleroze glavnu ulogu igra upala, odnosno poremećen upalni odgovor.
Budući da je usna šupljina infekcijom vrlo bogato mjesto, te se u njoj razvijaju i neke upalne
neinfektivne lezije, cilj straživanja je bio utvrditi prevalenciju najčešćih bolesti usne šupljine,
te ih povezati s koronarnom srčanom bolesti.
Ispitanici i metode: ispitivanu skupinu činilo je 143 pacijenta s dijagnozom koronarne srčane
bolesti; 149 ispitanika kontrolne skupine regrutirano je pri Klinici za dentalnu medicinu KBC
Rijeka. Svakom ispitaniku utvrđena je aktivnost karijesa, parodontalne bolesti te lezija oralne
sluznice, te je uzet bris za Candidu albicans. Ostali nalazi su uključivali visinu, težinu, te
analizu krvi. Ispitanici su popunili upitnik s općim podacima, oralno-higijenskim navikama, te
ljekovima koje uzimaju.
Rezultati: Prevalencija infektivnih bolesti zuba i potpornih tkiva je bila vrlo visoka. Osobe s
koronarnom srčanom bolesti imaju lošije oralno-higijenske navike i oralno zdravlje; češće
imaju prekomjernu težinu, povišene trigliceride i ALT, osjećaj suhih usta i pečenja, te češće
pate od lezija oralne sluznice. Čak 50% ispitanika ima povišene razine kolesterola.
Zaključak: infektivne bolesti zuba mogle bi biti povezane s rizikom od razvoja koronarne
srčane bolesti. Najvažniji su aktivnost karijesa i gubitak zuba, dok stupanj parodontitisa nema
utjecaja. Mogući čimbenici koji utječu na tu povezanost su razina leukocita i triglicerida –
navedeno podržava hipotezu o upalnoj reakciji kao podlozi ateroskleroze. Potrebno je
ustanoviti mjere primarne i sekundarne prevencije kojima bi se ranom dijagnozom problema u
usnoj šupljini i njihovim liječenjem smanjio mogući bakterijski i upalni teret.Objectives: coronary heart disease is mostly cause by atherosclerosis. Tha major role in
atheroscelrosis is played by inflammation and altered immune response. Since oral cavity is
loaded with infective agents, but is also the site of some inflammatory non-infective lesions,
objective of this investigation was to determine prevalence of most common mouth diseases,
and to correlate them with coronary heart disease.
Patients and Methods: Experimental group included 143 patients diagnosed with coronary
heart disease; 149 control subjects were recruited from the Clinic for dental medicine of
clinical Hospital Center Rijeka. Every patient was assessed regarding the caries activity,
periodontal disease and oral lesions, and swabs were taken for detection of Candida albicans.
Other parameters included heigth, weight and blood analysis. Patients filled out a
questionnaire on general data, oral hygiene routines, and medications taken.
Results: Prevalence of infectious tooth and periodontal diseases was very high. Patients with
coronary heart disease had worse oral hygiene and oral health; they were more likely to be
overweight, to have increased triglycerides and ALT, to suffer from dry mouth and burning
mouth syndrommes, and to have oral lesions. As much as 50% of the subjects had elevated
cholesterol levels.
Conclusion: Infectious tooth diseases may be connected to the risk of coronary heart disease.
The most important factors are the levels of leukocytes and triglycerides – this supports the
hypothesis of inflammation in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. It will be necessary to found
measures of primary and secondary prevention in order to decrease bacterial and
inflammatory load through the early diagnosis and timely treatment of oral and tooth diseases
Impact of psychological state on burning mouth syndrome
No full textSindrom pečenja usta ili stomatopiroza je skup neugodnih simptoma koji se manifestiraju pečenjem dijelova ili cijele oralne sluznice. Može biti uzrokovano različitim predisponirajućim čimbenicima kao što su loši protetski nadomjesci, loša oralna higijena, parafunkcijske navike, dijabetes, nutritivne deficijencije, hormonalne promjene, psihološka stanja itd., a ponekad može biti uzrokovano i bez nekog evidentnog uzroka.
Najčešći mentalni poremećaj je depresija, kojeg smo opisali i uspoređivali sa SPU u našem istraživanju. Provedeno je istraživanje na 40 pacijenata sa simptomima sindroma pečenja, koristeći psihološki upitnik. Težina depresije pokazala se proporcionalna s dužinom trajanja SPU.Burning mouth syndrome or stomatopyrosis is a set of unpleasant symptoms that manifest themselves by burning parts or whole oral mucosa. It can be caused by different predisposing factors such as poor substitute prosthetic, poor oral hygiene, parafunctional habits, diabetes, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, psychological states, ... And sometimes it can be caused without any obvious cause.
