Burning mouth syndrome as a manifestation of an unbalanced psycho-neuro immuno-endocrine axis in mentally ill women with intestinal dysbiosis: a literature review
(2022) Bolaños Castillo, Mayra Daniela
Background: Burning mouth syndrome is currently defined as a type of chronic orofacial pain of unknown etiology; however, several publications describe this syndrome as a neurological disorder with multifactorial pathogenesis in which psychogenic, endocrine, and neuropathic factors are involved. The objective of this article is to propose an etiopathogenic model of BMS based on clinical and preclinical evidence published to date. Methods: Through a systematic bibliographic search in 4 scientific databases: PubMed, Science Direct, Embase and the Cochrane library, of articles published in English in the last 20 years. Results: We dare to propose BMS as a trigeminal small-fiber sensory neuropathy influenced by low-grade chronic systemic inflammation, in a scenario of intestinal dysbiosis or psychiatric disorders and exacerbated in peri or postmenopausal women, due to neuroprotective steroid deficiency and greater propensity to psychological disturbances. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop lines of research linked to the taxonomic and functional characterization of the intestinal microbiome in patients with BMS and to compare it with that obtained in mentally ill patients without BMS against a control group, in order, to elucidate its pathogenesis and find new therapeutic targets that allow us to better manage the syndrome, with stable responses over time.
Síndrome de boca ardiente idiopático, construcción de un modelo etiopatogénico de la población femenina
(2023) Rodriguez Coyago, Maria Lourdes
Introduction: burning mouth syndrome is defined as a type of chronic orofacial pain of unknown etiology, although several publications describe it as a neurological disorder with multifactorial pathogenesis. Objective: to propose an etiopathogenic model of burning mouth syndrome, based on clinical and preclinical evidence published to date. Material and methods: bibliographic research and review of the literature through a systematic search of articles published in English in the last 20 years in four scien- tific databases. Results: it’s proposed to consider burning mouth syndrome as an oral neuropathy, influenced by low-grade systemic inflammation caused by intestinal dysbiosis or psychiatric disor- ders; and exacerbated in peri- or post-menopausal women given their deficiency in neuroprotective steroids and their greater propensity for psycholog- ical disturbances. It’s recommended to characterize taxonomical and functionally the gut microbiome of psychiatric diseases women with and without stomatopyrosis. Conclusions: it’s necessary to develop lines of research that seek to taxonomically and functionally characterize the intestinal microbiome of psychiatric conditions women, with and without BMS, to elucidate the pathogenesis of BMS and find new therapeutic targets that allow better management of the syndrome with more stable responses.
Students' perceptions of the performance of the professors of the clinic of the Dental School of the University of Cuenca in the academic year 2021-2022
(2022) Bravo Calderón, Manuel Estuardo; Zumba Garcia, Erika Gabriela; Bolaños Castillo, Mayra Daniela
The clinical teachers create a learning environment that integrates the theoretical knowledge learned in classrooms and laboratories, therefore the student, having a teacher who provides everything he/she needs to become an excellent professional will always be very indispensable. Knowing how students perceive the quality of their teachers can in turn reveal their strengths and weaknesses, and make changes if necessary. The objective of this article is to evaluate the students' perception of the performance of the clinical teachers of the faculty of Dentistry of the University of Cuenca during the academic year 2021-2022.
