Abstract
BACKGROUND The kidneys carry out many essential processes. A reduced glomerular filtration rate is the primary cause of renal failure. Patients with chronic kidney disease are significantly increasing all around the world. Patients with varying degrees of renal disease will be seen on the dental chair, and the dentist must be aware of dental considerations when treating such patient. Dental clinicians should carefully evaluate the oral findings and general condition of the renal disease patient. OBJECTIVE To increase the awareness of dentists in the dental management of patients with renal diseases or undergoing renal transplant. METHODS This study reviews 56 articles searched on two databases PubMed and Google Scholar with English language. CONCLUSION Every dentist should be well-informed regarding dental considerations and oral manifestations when treating a patient with any renal disease. Simple treatment plan modification can prevent the evolution of mild to critical medical or dental complications in renal disease patients.

Patini R, Cordaro M, Marchesini D, Scilla F, Gioco G, Rupe C, D'Agostino MA, Lajolo C. Is Systemic Immunosuppression a Risk Factor for Oral Cancer? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:3077. [PMID: 37370688 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15123077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2023] [Revised: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Even if the relationship between immunosuppression and increased incidence of systemic cancers is well known, there is less awareness about the risk of developing oral cancer in immunosuppressed patients. The aim of this review was to evaluate the association between immunosuppression and the development of oral cancer. Two authors independently and, in duplicate, conducted a systematic literature review of international journals and electronic databases (MEDLINE via OVID, Scopus, and Web of Science) from their inception to 28 April 2023. The assessment of risk of bias and overall quality of evidence was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and GRADE system. A total of 2843 articles was identified, of which 44 met the inclusion criteria and were included in either the qualitative or quantitative analysis. The methodological quality of the included studies was generally high or moderate. The quantitative analysis of the studies revealed that immunosuppression should be considered a risk factor for the development of oral cancer, with a percentage of increased risk ranging from 0.2% to 1% (95% CI: 0.2% to 1.4%). In conclusion, the results suggest that a constant and accurate follow-up should be reserved for all immunosuppressed patients as a crucial strategy to intercept lesions that have an increased potential to evolve into oral cancer.

Abstract
Background Halitosis is a condition that affects 50% of adults and one third of patients with chronic kidney disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate oral manifestations and volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) associated with halitosis and quality of life in pre-kidney transplantation candidates.
Material and Methods The organoleptic test (OT) and halimetry (HA) (before and after cysteine mouthwash) were performed in patients with the Oralchroma® device, stimulated (SE) and non-stimulated sialometry (SN), Tongue Coating Index (TCI). The OHIP-14 questionnaire was administered to assess the impact of oral health on quality of life.
Results Fourteen individuals with a mean age of 49.64 ± 13.35 years were evaluated. In the organoleptic test, 57.14% of the individuals presented halitosis. Oralchroma results showed that dimethyl sulfide was above the threshold in 85.71% of the individuals, while hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan were above threshold in 28.57%; after the use of cysteine, hydrogen sulfide was present in 100% of the cases, dimethyl sulfide in 57.14% and methyl mercaptan in 50%. In the non-stimulated sialometry, 57.14% of the individuals presented hyposalivation and 21.42% in the stimulated. Regarding the tongue coating index, 100% of the individuals presented tongue coating, with a mean of 7.64. The assessment of impact of oral health on quality of life showed a negative impact in all dimensions.
Conclusions Tongue coating, in association with hydrogen sulfide, was the main cause of halitosis in the study subjects, and hyposalivation may contribute to higher tongue-coating indices. These oral changes negatively affect the quality of life for pre-kidney transplantation patients. Key words:Halitosis, chronic kidney disease, quality of life, kidney transplantation.

Abstract
This systematic review investigates the failure rate and marginal bone loss (MBL) of dental implants placed in patients undergoing solid-organ transplant (SOT) compared to healthy controls. Three databases (PubMed, Web of Sciences, and the Cochrane Library) were searched up to June 2020 (PROSPERO CRD42019124896). Case-control and cohort studies reporting data failure rate and marginal bone loss (MBL) of dental implants placed in SOT patients were included. The risk of bias of observational studies was assessed through the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Four case-control studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria; all had low risk of bias. Meta-analyses revealed consistently lower implant failure rate than control populations at patient and implant levels. SOT patients had a significant difference of −18% (p-value < 0.001) MBL compared to healthy patients. SOT status poses no serious threat to implant survival. Overall, this group of patients presented lower levels of dental implant failure rate and marginal bone loss compared to otherwise healthy patients. Further intervention trials with larger sample size and longer follow-ups are necessary to confirm these summarized results.

Abstract
Purpose Otorhinolaryngological abnormalities are common complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its treatment. The main aim of this study was to provide a brief and precise review of the current knowledge regarding CKD and its treatment-related influence on head and neck organs. Methods The Medline and Web of Science databases were searched using the terms “chronic kidney disease”, “kidney transplantation”, “immunosuppression”, “dialysis” in conjunction with “otorhinolaryngological manifestation”. Articles that did not address the topics, low-quality studies, case reports, and studies based on nonsignificant cohorts were excluded, and the full text of remaining high-quality, novel articles were examined and elaborated on. Results Patients with CKD are prone to develop sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, recurrent epistaxis, opportunistic infections including oropharyngeal candidiasis or rhino-cerebral mucormycosis, taste and smell changes, phonatory and vestibular dysfunctions, deep neck infections, mucosal abnormalities, gingival hyperplasia, halitosis or xerostomia. Immunosuppressive therapy after kidney transplantation increases the risk of carcinogenesis, both related and not-related to latent viral infection. The most commonly viral-related neoplasms observed in these patients are oral and oropharyngeal cancers, whereas the majority of not-related to viral infection tumors constitute lip and thyroid cancers. CKD-related otorhinolaryngological dysfunctions are often permanent, difficult to control, have a significant negative influence on patient’s quality of life, and can be life threatening. Conclusion Patients with CKD suffer from a number of otorhinolaryngological CKD-induced complications. The relationship between several otorhinolaryngological complications and CKD was widely explained, whereas the correlation between the rest of them and CKD remains unclear. Further studies on this subject are necessary.

Abstract
Renal transplant patients are treated with immunosuppressive drugs that decrease the effectiveness of the immune system, making them more prone to developing cancer. Skin and lip carcinomas are common malignancies encountered after transplantation, whereas oral carcinomas are rare. We report the case of a 51-year-old female Caucasian patient, with no history of smoking, who presented white lesions on the tongue and an ulcerated lesion on the lower lip beginning 4 months prior. Diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma for both lesions was made following incisional biopsies. Interestingly, the patient reported a renal transplantation 23 years prior, and was maintained on a combination of cyclosporine, mycophenolate sodium and prednisone. The patient also presented a history of several basal and squamous cell carcinomas on sun-exposed areas of the skin. Both lesions were surgically excised. No sign of recurrence or new lesions in the oral cavity have been observed; however, new skin lesions are frequently diagnosed. This case report highlights that oral cancers may occur in transplant patients in the absence of classical risk factors. Thus, clinicians must be aware of the importance of thorough oral examination in transplant patients in routine follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate long-term outcomes of implant therapy in a cohort of immunosuppressed renal transplant patients compared with a matched control group. MATERIAL AND METHODS Pharmacologically immunosuppressed renal transplant patients received dental implant treatment between 2001 and 2011. Periodontal, clinical and radiographic parameters were prospectively measured with a mean follow-up of 116.8 months (range from 84 to 192 months). A matched controlled non-transplant sample receiving similar implant treatment in the same time was included as a control group. RESULTS Implant survival rate was over 98% in both test and control groups (100% and 98.84%, respectively). Peri-implant mucositis was diagnosed in 46.80% of the implants in the study group and in 48.80% in the control group. Peri-implantitis occurred in 5.10% of the implants in the study group and in 8.10% of the controls. Wound healing and post-operative pain were similar in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Despite the limitations of this study, pharmacological immunosuppression in renal transplant patients did not affect implant outcomes. Renal transplant patients should be carefully controlled periodically after implant treatment. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS The results from this investigation justify the use of dental implants for the dentalrehabilitation of immunosuppressed patients after renal transplantation provided they follow the necessarylong-term monitoring and regular maintenance of their oral and systemic health.

Abstract
Heath care providers should be comfortable with normal as well as pathologic findings in the lips, because the lips are highly visible and may display clinical manifestations of local, as well as systemic inflammatory, allergic, irritant, and neoplastic alterations. Fortunately, the lips are easily accessible. The evaluation should include a careful history and physical examination, including visual inspection, as well as palpation of the lips and an examination of associated cervical, submandibular, and submental nodes. Pathologic and microscopic studies, as well as a review of medications, allergies, and habits, may further highlight possible etiologies. Many lip conditions, including premalignant changes, are relatively easy to treat, when the abnormalities are detected early; however, advanced disease and malignancies are challenging for both the patient and clinician. Treatment should be focused on eliminating potential irritants or allergens and treatment of the primary dermatosis. In this paper we review physiologic variants as well as pathologic conditions of the lips.

Abstract
Oral cancer is historically linked to well-known behavioural risk factors such as tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption. Other risk factors include age over 40, male sex, several dietary factors, nutritional deficiencies, viruses, sexually transmitted infections, human papillomavirus, chronic irritation, and possibly genetic predisposition. Precancerous lesions in the oral cavity include leukoplakia, erythroplakia, and lichen planus. Histology of oral cancer varies widely but the great majority are squamous cell carcinomas.Epidemiological studies and cancer registries have shown a consistently increased risk of oral malignancies in kidney, bone marrow, heart, or liver transplantation, in graft vs host disease, and in patients with HIV infection. Because of the increasing use of immunosuppressive drugs in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, it is useful to more accurately delineate the consequences of chronic immunosuppression to the oral cavity. Oral cancer and precancerous oral lesions in patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] have been scarcely reported and reviews on the topic are lacking.We conducted a literature search using the terms and variants of all cancerous and precancerous oral manifestations of inflammatory bowel diseases. By retrieving the existing literature, it is evident that patients with IBD belong to the high-risk group of developing these lesions, a phenomenon amplified by the increasing HPV prevalence. Education on modifiable risk behaviours in patients with oral cancer is the cornerstone of prevention.Oral screening should be performed for all IBD patients, especially those who are about to start an immunosuppressant or biological drug.

Abstract
AIM Patients with a solid organ transplant can have many different complications in the mouth, as a result of immunosuppression and side effects of drugs. The aim of this study was to examine the frequency and type of oral lesions in renal transplant patients, dental status, oral hygiene, oral lesions related to drugs which patients take and the time of transplantation as well as the frequency of patient's visits to the dentist in the post-transplant period. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was performed in a period of two years and included 100 subjects with a renal transplant during their regular control visits to the Department of Nephrology and Dialysis, Clinical Hospital Centre Zagreb and the Department of Oral Medicine, School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb and 100 randomly selected control subjects at the Department of Endodontics and Restorative Dentistry, School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb. RESULTS Results showed a significantly higher incidence of oral lesions in patients with renal transplant (31%) compared to control subjects. The most frequent were erythematous (inflammatory changes), keratotic lesions and gingival hyperplasia. The average DMFT index was significantly lower in patients with renal transplant than in the control group. One third of patients had a subjective feeling of dry mouth. Oral hygiene was poor overall, and only a small number of subjects used the additional sustainers for oral hygiene. Most patients did not visit the dentist after the transplantation. CONCLUSION Renal transplant patients need a comprehensive and regular dental care during the pre- and post-transplant period and a doctor of dental medicine should be part of a multidisciplinary team of medical specialists.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some regions of Spain along with Canada and Australia have the highest rates of lip cancer in the world. The objective of this study was to examine the trends in the pattern of occurrence of lip cancer in Madrid, Spain. METHODS Data were extracted from the Central Tumour Registry of Madrid, between 1990 and 2011. Variables examined were age, sex, topographic and morphological location and tumour histology. Two consecutive periods, 1990-2001 and 2002-2011, were studied by descriptive and analytical methods, and the data from the two periods were statistically compared. RESULTS A total of 881 cases were registered during the period 1990-2011. Comparing data between the two periods (1990-2001 and 2002-2011), subtle variations in age, histology and location were noted. Gender ratios remained constant. The mean age increased from 66.3 to 69.7 years (P < 0.05). In the second period, the histological distribution showed an increase in frequency of basal cell carcinoma, from 2.1% to 4.7%, while the frequency of squamous cell carcinomas remained constant. Basal cell carcinoma no longer predominantly occurred in women, decreasing from 80% to 21.1% (P < 0.001). The distribution by gender of squamous cell carcinoma had become more equal due an increase in its frequency in women (P < 0.001). Frequency of tumours on lip mucosa and commissure had increased between the two periods (P < 0.004). CONCLUSIONS The pattern of lip cancer reported to Public Hospitals of Madrid is changing: declining rates are noted since 2001-02. However, it is necessary to monitor these data to confirm the observed trends in future years.
