Mucocele is a common benign neoplasm of oral soft tissues and the most common after fibroma. It generally occurs in the lower lip and its treatment includes excision of cyst and the responsible salivary gland, in order to prevent recurrences. To evaluate the capability of three different lasers in performing the excision of labial mucocele with two different techniques. In the presented cases, exc...

The aim is to discuss four cases of gingival reactive hyperplastic lesions in patients with a history of excision of oral neoplastic lesions and rehabilitation by a free revascularized flap of the iliac crest. One female and 3 male patients were referred due to the presence of exophytic lesions at the rehabilitated sites. The clinical examination revealed that the poor oral hygiene was the common ...

Background The aim of this Italian multicenter study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of a minimally invasive method for the detection of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) based on 13‐gene DNA methylation analysis in oral brushing samples. Method Oral brushing specimens were collected in 11 oral medicine centers across Italy. Twenty brushing specimens were collected by each center...

Introduction . Laser induced thermal effects can preclude a safe histological evaluation of biopsy resection margins. The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of a 976 ‰nm diode laser in oral soft tissue biopsies in an ex vivo study. Materials and Method . A 976 ‰nm diode laser (Solase®, Lazon Medical Laser, China) has been used in the contact mode, using a 400 ‰Î¼m fiber tip, at di...

Follow-up program in head and neck cancer (HNC) is an important issue in patients management. It represents the major dilemma in daily practice clinic. Many guidelines have been published in order to better define the best clinical protocol, but a consensus has not been attained yet.
