Trismus refers to a person’s inability to normally open his or her mouth. Trismus can occur as a symptom due to tumor ingrowth or it can occur postsurgical following the treatment for head and neck cancer. Radiation-induced trismus is also a relatively common oral complication. This review aimed at reviewing the etiopathogenesis of trismus in patients with head and neck cancer. Of the 16 publications included after final screening, of which one was a nonrandomized control trial, one a randomized control trial, 6 prospective cohort studies, and 8 retrospective cohort studies. Among them, 6 articles addressed the possible mechanism for trismus related to tumor ingrowth, 8 articles suggested the likely reason for trismus in patients who had undergone radiation therapy and 2 articles addressed the postsurgical cause for trismus. This review highlights the possible involvement of infratemporal fossa as a predetermining factor for developing trismus related to tumor extension. The molecular mechanism of radiation-induced fibrosis is well studied in the literature.

Abstract Background: To investigate the bidirectional association between tooth loss and hypertensionMethods: PubMed, EMBASE, OVID were searched through May, 2020. Longitudinal and cross-sectional studies reporting the association between tooth loss and hypertension were included. We quantitatively analyzed the basic framework and study characteristics, and then pooled estimate effects with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of outcomes of each included studies using random-effects meta-analysis.Results: This systematic review included sixteen studies involving about 188,000 participants. Quantitatively summarized results suggested, compared to individuals who have lost fewer than ten teeth, there was no significantly difference in the incidence of hypertension among participants who lost more than ten teeth (OR: 1.09, 95%CI: 0.93,1.28). Besides, there is no significant difference of incident hypertension between individuals who ever lost teeth and never lost teeth (OR:1.03, 95% CI: 0.85,1.25). There was a significant association between hypertension and incidence of tooth loss (OR: 1.33, 95% CI: 1.04,1.70). Subgroup analysis by study design, age, gender ratio and religion showed statistically significant association between hypertension and incidence of tooth loss in specific subgroups.Conclusions: This meta-analysis identified hypertension as a significantly risk factor of tooth loss while tooth loss was not an efficient predictor for incident hypertension. Considering the limited number of available researches and drawback of cross-sectional studies, more high-quality prospective studies of large sample sizes are needed to understand details of this bidirectional association. Since both tooth loss and hypertension are worldwide problems, our study provides new and comprehensive evidence for the prevention in oral complication of hypertensive patients.

Introduction: Non-Hodgkin`s lymphoma is one of hematologic malignancy that responds to chemotherapy. Chemotherapy agent can cause oral complication such as oral mucositis, hemorrhage, xerostomia, hyposalivation and periodontitist. The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical feature of the oral cavity in patients with non-Hodgkin`s lymphoma whose underwent chemotherapy  Method: This study used an observational descriptive method. This type of research is observational descriptive. The study population was non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma sufferers who were undergoing chemotherapy at the Hematology and Medical Oncology Outpatient Installation Division of Internal Medicine at Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung. The study sample was taken by consecutive sampling method The numbers of samples in this study were 30 people according to predetermined criteria. Result: The result shows that all samples have abnormalities of the oral cavity that patients who have an abnormality are amounted to 20% and patients who have more than one kind of oral abnormalities amounted to 80%. An abnormality of the oral cavity that the most often found in this study is xerostomia with hyposalivation. Conclusion: Clinical feature of the oral cavity in patients with non-Hodgkin`s lymphoma whose underwent chemotherapy are abnormalities in the oral cavity, where the number of samples that experienced more than one type of oral cavity abnormality was greater when compared to the number of samples with a kind of abnormality. Oral cavity. Most of the samples studied had oral cavity abnormalities in the form of serostomia accompanied by hyposalivation.

Abstract Aim The aims of this review of the literature are to offer further insights into possible problems related to tongue piercing and present three case reports showing undesired effects of tongue piercing. Background From a dental perspective, oral piercings and especially tongue piercings are not a harmless fashion trend since they can be associated with local and systemic risks and complications. A search of the literature was conducted to investigate the documentation of health risks associated with tongue piercing using the MEDLINE database as well as the German literature. Review Results The literature contains numerous case reports, a limited number of studies, and a review describing a wide variety of complications, especially in patients who have undergone tongue piercing. In the majority of cases, the piercing of the tongue is performed in the midline. Piercings are made of different materials, usually metal or synthetic materials. Complications during piercing, immediately following piercing, as well as long term were found. Conclusions The three cases presented here demonstrate some of those adverse effects. The most commonly described oral complication is the damage of teeth and the periodontium caused by tongue piercings. Tongue piercing is a personal decision, but it is important that patients are fully aware of possible oral health hazards. Clinical Significance Patients need better information on the potential complications associated with tongue piercing. Dental practitioners should educate patients about potential side effects and possible oral, dental, and systemic complications. Citation Ziebolz D, Stuehmer C, van Nüss K, Hornecke E, Mausberg RF.

State Of The Science

Abstract Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw is an oral complication in cancer patients being treated with either antiresorptive or antiangiogenic drugs. The first reports of MRONJ were published in 2003. Hundreds of manuscripts have been published in the medical and dental literature describing the complication, clinical and radiographic signs and symptoms, possible pathophysiology, and management. Despite this extensive literature, the pathobiological mechanisms by which medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw develops have not yet been fully delineated. The aim of this manuscript is to present current knowledge about the complication ragarding to the definition, known risk factors, and clinical management recommendations. Based on this current state of the science, we also propose research directions that have potential to enhance the management of future oncology patients who are receiving these agents.

The Impact

Background and aim: Mucositis is a well-known side effect to chemotherapy treatment after breast cancer surgery. The number of women who experience oral complication that is not classified as mucositis is less investigated as well as the impact of oral complication on the women’s quality of life. \textit{Aim:} To describe how many women with breast cancer report oral complications during their adjuvant chemotherapy with Ebirubicin, Cyclophosphamide and Taxotere or Taxol, to describe which oral complications the women report and the impact the oral complication has on women’s daily life and quality of life.Methods: A cross-sectional design was used. The women were invited to fill out a self-composed questionnaire at proximal 12 weeks after initiation of the treatment. The questionnaire had two scales to summarize information about oral complication and their impact on daily living was used. The questionnaire has been face- and content validated. Internal consistency was between 0.76 to 0.83.Results: All 101 women had experienced oral complications to some extent. A linear regression analysis has reviled that redness, coaching and changes of taste explained 74% of reported reduction in quality of life. There was a positive correlation between the sum of symptoms (number of symptoms and duration) and reported quality of life score r = .480 (p = .000).Conclusions: Oral complications was experienced by all women who were treated with CT after breast cancer surgery. Redness, coaching and changes of taste were significant contributors to reducing quality of life and need to be prevented during chemotherapy.
