Frecuencia del biotipo periodontal y la relación con la enfermedad periodontal en estudiantes de pregrado de la facultad de odontología de la Universidad de Cuenca 2018
(2018) Niemes Palacios, Gabriela Katiuska; Villavicencio Caparó, Ebingen
Background: The relationship between periodontal biotype and periodontal disease has been reported, with recessions in the thin periodontal biotype and the formation of periodontal pockets in the thick biotype. Objective: To analyze the frequency of the periodontal biotype and the relationship with periodontal disease in pregraduated students of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Cuenca 2018. Methods: An analytical descriptive study was carried out in 304 patients, students of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Cuenca, analyzed the demographic and clinical characteristics including the periodontal status. The association between the variables studied was evaluated using the chi square test, the ORs were calculated and the values lower than p = 0.05 were considered significant. Results: The percentage of periodontal disease found in the evaluated population is 59.5% (Gingivitis 41.78%, Periodontitis 17.8%). The most prevalent periodontal biotype was the normal or intermediate 69% biotype followed by the gross biotype 22% and thin 9%. No statistically significant association of biotype and periodontal disease could be found in relation to sex and age. Conclusions: A large distribution of a third periodontal biotype was found in the studied population. Although the relationship between biotype and periodontal disease could not be confirmed, it was possible to associate the thin biotype with an increased risk for the development of recessions
Lesión liquenoide oral de difícil diagnóstico en paciente ex - afecto a cocaína: a propósito de un caso

Oral lichenoid lesions (OLL) are considered a variation of Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) and can be recognized as a sepárate entity in itself or as an exacerbation of existing OLP. We report a male patient, 42, smoker, with a history of brain trauma and cocaine and alcohol use for 20 years. The patient is currently in recovery and has being medicated with phenytoin and pentoxifylline for 6 years. The patient attended the Diagnostic Service of the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Cuenca, with severe oral pain with 7 days of evolution, which prevented him from eating. Stomatological examination showed erosive lesions surrounded by white reticular plaques at the hard palage level, gums and lip mucosa with skewed distribution. The histopathological diagnosis was not defin itive, but based on history, clin ¡cal, effective response to steroid treatment, and the results of immunological tests, it was determined as idiopathic oral lichenoid lesión. Because of the aberrant histological pattern, this type of lichenoid injury would be excluded from the categories established by the WHO for oral lichenoid reactions.
