With the development of computer and digital technology, the application of computer-aided technology has become a new trend in the field of oral implant. Computer-guided oral implant surgery has the advantages of being safer and more accurate than traditional implant surgery, and it can truly realize the concept of restoration-oriented implant. However, computer-guided oral implant surgery has various steps which cause deviations accumulation, so that some clinicians remain sceptical about the accuracy of the technology. Currently, due to the lack of a quantitative system for evaluating the accuracy of computer-guided oral implantation, the implant deviation in each step is still inconclusively in the stage of research and debate. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the advantages and disadvantages, research progress, accuracy and influencing factors of computer-guided oral implantation, aiming to provide a reference for improving implant accuracy and guiding clinical design and surgery.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the correlation between the expression of cytokeratin 19 (CK19) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). MethodsPubMed, EMbase, CJFD, CBM, CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data and The Cochrane Library (Issue 1, 2015) were electronically searched from inception to January 1st 2015 to collect case-control studies about the correlation between CK19 expression and clinical pathogenic features in OSCC. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsA total of 11 studies were included, involving 612 OSCC cases and 564 normal controls. The results of meta-analysis showed that:The expression levels of CK19 were significantly different between the OSCC group and the control group, between OSCC groups with and without lymph node metastasis, between the high differentiation group and the middle/poor differentiation group, and between the clinical stage I group and the clinical stages Ⅱ to Ⅲ group (all P values≤0.05). However, there were no significant differences in expression levels of CK19 between the male OSCC group and the female OSCC group, and between the carcinoma size T1/T2 group and the T3/T4 group (all P values >0.05). ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that, CK19 expression may be associated with the occurrence, development and transfer of OSCC, and may be positively corrected with tumor malignance. It may be an indicator of poor prognosis and can be considered as a molecular marker of OSCC.
Objective To investigate the possibility of culturing human oral keratinocyte using autologous serum in order to provide theoretical and technical foundation for clinical application of tissue engineering oral mucosa epithelium.Methods The human oral keratinocytes were cultured by the medium containing different concentrations of autologous serum(10%,20%,30%)and fetalbovine serum (10%), respectively. The growth conditions for the cell and the mucosa epithelium in the groups were observed, the cell growth curves were drawn, and the population doubling time (PDT) was counted. Results The results showed that the human oral keratinocyte could proliferate well in the medium containing autologous serum or fetal bovine serum. The differences in the 24hour clone rate and PDT were not significant. Both the area and the thickness of the cultured oral epithelium increased with the increase of the autologous serum concentration, and the difference between autologous serum and fetal bovine serum was significant, especially with the medium containing 20% autologous serum( P＜0.05) . The human nature of the cultured epithelium was demonstrated by the immunofluorescent mouse anti-HLA antigen. Conclusion The autologous serum can replace the fetal bovine serum to culture the oral keratinocyte well, and the cultured oral mucosa epithelium can be better differentiated in the autologous serum than in the fetal bovine serum.
Objectives To assess the effectiveness and safety of any form of therapy compared with glucocorticoid for the treatment of oral lichen planus. Method The Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2007), MEDLINE (1966-2007), EMbase (1966-2007), CBM (1978-2005), CNKI (1989-2007), and VIP (1989-2007) were searched for randomized controlled trials or quasi-randomized controlled trials. Quality assessment and data extraction were performed by two reviewers independently. Meta-analysis was performed for the results of homogeneous studies by RevMan 4.2.9 software.Results Finally, 14 studies involving 9 therapy methods were included. Four studies were concerned with cyclosporine.We performed a meta-analysis of 3 studies. The results showed there was no statistically significant difference in the curative effect of cyclosporine and the steroid with RR 2.94 and 95%CI 1.03 to 9.97. The results showed that the curative effect of total glucosides of paenia plus topical application of triamcinolone acetonide (RR0.21, 95%CI 0.10 to 0.44),tacrolimu (RR 0.18 and 95%CI 0.05 to 0.72), and pimecrolimus (WMD –0.50 and 95%CI –0.85 to –0.15) were better than glucocorticoid. There was a statistically significant difference between fluocinolone acetonide and retinoic acid in terms of curative effect with RR 3.20 and 95%CI 1.03 to 9.97. The curative effect of mesalazine (RR 0.42 and 95%CI 0.05 to 3.54), Mycostatin paste plus desamethasone paste (RR 1.23 and 95%CI 0.93 to 1.61), triamcinolone acetonide plus vitamin B12 ( RR 0.50 and 95%CI 0.05 to 4.94), chitin (RR 1.30 and 95%CI 0.86 to 1.96) was similar with that of glucocorticoid.Conclusion Statistical analysis showed the curative effect of total glucosides of paenia combined with triamcinoloneacetonide is better than glucocorticoid. Due to the mistakes of theincluded studies designs,,further high-quality,largescale randomized controlled trials are required to confirm the effectiveness and safety of this therapy method.
Objective To compare and evaluate the effectiveness and safety of 30ug ethinyl estradiol /150ug desogestrel versus 30ug ethinyl estradiol /75ug gestodene. Methods We searched MEDLINE (1990 to 2007), EMBASE (1990 to 2007), POPLINE (1990 to 2007), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Issue 2, 2007), EMBASE (1990 to 2007) and The Cochrane Library (Issue 2, 2007). Four relevant journals were also hand searched. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing ethinyl estradiol with desogestrel were collected. The quality of the included studies was assessed and data were collected by two reviewers independently. Meta-analyses were performed with The Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 4.2.10 software.Results Six studies involving 3,143 patients were included. Meta-analyses found no significant difference in contraceptive effect between 30ug ethinyl estradiol /150ug desogestrel and 30ug ethinyl estradiol /75ug gestodene (Pgt;0.05). During six months of follow-up, patients receiving 30ug ethinyl estradiol /150ug desogestrel had a higher incidence of irregular bleeding (RR 1.50, 95%CI 1.27 to 1.78; Plt;0.00001); and a lower incidence of vomiting (RR 0.18, 95%CI 0.04 to 0.78; P=0.02]; but higher incidences of breast tenderness, nervousness, headache, chloasma, edema, dyspareunia and varicose (RR 1.23 to 2.69; 95%CI 1.02 to 6.37, Plt;0.05). No significant differences were noted in discontinuation between 30ug ethinyl estradiol /150ug desogestrel and 30ug ethinyl estradiol /75ug gestodene. Conclusion Ethinyl estradiol was similar to desogestrel in terms of the contraceptive effect, while the use of desogestrel might be associated with less irregular bleeding and other common adverse events. As the existing data have a high risk of bias, the current evidence is insufficient and further high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed.
Objective To evaluate the clinical outcome of the buccal fat pad flap in reconstruction of defects of the oral mucosa. Methods From May 1998 to July 2004, 42 patients with oral mucodefects were treated with buccal fat pad flap. Of them, there were 26 males and 16 females, aging 25-76 years. The defect was caused by buccal squamous carcinoma in 7 cases, by buccal leukoplakia in 5 cases, by squamous carcinoma of soft palate in 7 cases, by adenoid cystic carcinoma of palate in 8 cases, by carcinoma of maxillary sinus in 6 cases, by maxillo-alveolar angioma in 5 cases and by keratocyst of maxilla in 4 cases. The locations were buccal mucosa, maxillary sinus and soft palate. The size of defect ranged from 3.0 cm×3.0 cm to 6.5 cm×4.0cm.Results Forty-one cases achieved healing by first intention, except one case because of large defect. Edema faded and epithelization occurred after 4 weeks of operation. Complete epithelization was observed after 6 weeks of operation. Thirty-five cases were followed up 3 months to 5 years. Therewere no obvious differences in layers, color, elasticity, and texture between repaired region and adjacent mucosa. Conclusion The buccal fat pad flap is useful in reconstructing the muco-defects (less than 6.5 cm in diameter) of the posterior maxilla and buccal region without considerable complication. The multiplex blood supply, facility in accessing and minimal donor site morbidity make it a reliable soft tissue graft. The main shortcoming is its limited size.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of bipaddled anterolateral thigh perforator flap in repair of through-and-through maxillofacial defect following oral cancer ablation.MethodsBetween January 2008 and December 2016, 42 patients with oral cancer were treated. There were 31 males and 11 females with an average age of 44.5 years (range, 31-68 years). There were 28 cases of buccal mucosa carcinoma, 10 cases of basal cell carcinoma of buccal skin, 3 cases of gingiva carcinoma, and 1 case of recurrent parotidduct carcinoma. The disease duration ranged from 1 to 24 months (mean, 13.5 months). The size of through-and-through maxillofacial defect ranged from 6.0 cm×4.5 cm to 9.0 cm×7.0 cm. All defects were repaired with the bipaddled anterolateral thigh perforator flap. The paddles were adjusted to repair the buccal area. And the size of flap ranged from 7 cm×5 cm to 10 cm×8 cm. The donor sites were closed directly.ResultsThe operation time was 4.5-7.5 hours (mean, 5.5 hours). All flaps healed and the wounds of recipient and donor sites healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 9-60 months (mean, 22 months). All patients were satisfied with their facial appearance and the speech function. The range of mouth opening was 3-5 cm. Three patients died of recurrence during the follow-up period and the other patients were alive.ConclusionThe bipaddled anterolateral thigh perforator flap is flexible and reliable for the through-and-through maxillofacial defect reconstruction following oral cancer ablation.
