Necrotizing Sialometaplasia and Bulimia: A Case Report. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2020; 56:medicina56040188. [PMID: 32325833 PMCID: PMC7231379 DOI: 10.3390/medicina56040188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2020] [Revised: 04/13/2020] [Accepted: 04/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Bulimia is an eating disorder with a great prevalence in young women. Due to its multifactor ethiology, bulimia has systemic consequences. In the literature, necrotising sialometaplasia is seldom associated with bulimia. Its etiopathogenesis is discussed by several authors; nevertheless, the consensus does not consider the relevance of local trauma associated with induced vomiting. A case of necrotising sialomethaplasia, presented with a single hard palatal ulcer in a bulimic woman is described in the present report. The patient did not present significant systemic laboratorial values, nor physical weight variations, which highlights the relevance of performing a complete medical clinical history when diagnosing this rare pathology.

Psychiatry Res 2018; 266:323-327.

Abstract
Psychotropic drugs may induce impairments in the mouth, jaw and face area. Currently, appropriate pharmacoepidemiologic data are missing. Therefore, a questionnaire-based telephone survey of two non-representative samples of psychiatrists and dentists was conducted. Most of the psychiatrists (79.7%) and dentists (76.5%) indicated that psychotropic drugs may induce dental adverse drug reactions (ADR); in both samples there was an approximately equally sized, relevant proportion of participants who did not believe in the risk of dental ADR of psychotropic drugs (psychiatrists 20.3%; dentists 23.5%). About one third of the participants of both samples (psychiatrists 34.9%; dentists 35.9%) felt that dental ADRs of psychotropic drugs are a serious health problem. The majority of both groups (psychiatrists 97.8%; dentists 97.0%) had never reported a dental ADR. Most psychiatrists and dentists appeared to be aware of the risk of dental ADRs by psychotropic drugs. A relevant proportion of participants of both groups considered psychotropic drugs to be irrelevant regarding dental ADRs; therefore, there may be information needs in both groups. The willingness to report dental ADRs of psychotropic drugs was low in both groups; the evaluation of the actual relevance of this drug-related risk is impeded by the absence of reports of suspected ADRs.

Abstract
Rampant caries and periodontal diseases occur in patients treated with antidepressants such as serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs; e.g., Prozac) which target the serotonin transporter (SERT). As the serotonin 2B receptor (5HT2BR) regulates SERT functionality and capacity to recognize SRIs, we investigated the potential role of 5HT2BR on dental tissues by exploiting 5HT2BR knockout (KO) mice. Compared to wild-type (WT) mice, several structural differences were identified in the teeth of KO mice. In the molar of KO mice, rod curvatures and twisting were altered compared to WT mice, suggesting involvement of 5HT2BR at early stages of enamel formation. The volume of the KO enamel layer was also reduced, and larger porosities were observed in the prismatic enamel, with smaller crystallite thickness. Crystallite pattern disorganization and occlusal abrasion were enhanced in female KO mice, indicating a sexual dimorphism. In the incisor, no difference was detected in the width of the enamel layer between KO and WT mice; however, enamel maturation differed in absence of 5HT2BR. Specifically, the outer aprismatic enamel border was 1.5- to 2-fold larger in KO compared to WT mice, together with a decreased etching pattern. Finally, although no noticeable difference was observed in dentin, the micro-CT three-dimensional pulp reconstruction evidenced a decrease in both length and width of dentin formation in the root canals of the KO versus WT mice. These data provide evidence that 5HT2BR-mediated signaling pathways are involved in enamel formation and dentinogenesis.

Abstract
(A) To assess the prevalence of suboptimal oral health in adults with SMI in studies published in 1971-2009; (B) To describe approaches that promote oral health among adults with SMI. A total of 57 randomized, quasi-randomized, cross-section, and cohort studies from samples of 38-4,769 mental health consumers are identified through database, journal, and Internet searches (Cochrane, FASTSTATS, PUBMED, WHO.int). Selected studies are inclusive for the sample, reported statistical power, and external validity. Oral health adverse outcomes (xerostomia, sialorrhoea, dental caries, extracted teeth, malocclusion, periodontal disease, edentulous, oral cancer) are considered as measurable outcomes. This review suggests a substantial prevalence of suboptimal oral health (61%) among individuals with serious mental illnesses. The following outcomes are mostly met: xerostomia, gross caries, decayed teeth, and periodontal disease. Poor oral hygiene, higher intake of carbonates, poor perception of oral health self-needs, length of psychotropic treatment, and less access to dental care determine suboptimal oral health among this population. Further replication of this research should generate gender-wise ethnic cohorts, including detailed observations of environmental factors, and medical problems that contribute to suboptimal oral health. This review highlights the importance of bridging dental health education to psychiatric rehabilitation programs.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to ascertain the prevalence of cavities among adolescents in public and private schools in João Pessoa, Paraíba State, Brazil, comparing the DMFT in terms of gender and age, as well as education levels and quality among mothers in these two types of schools. The sample consisted of 3,330 adolescents between twelve and fifteen years old: 1,665 attending public schools and 1,665 attending private schools. The DMFT was evaluated by the WHO criteria (1997), using the Kappa (0.92) intra-examiner agreement for cavity diagnoses and the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis statistical analyses. The prevalence of cavities in public schools was 51.6%, compared to 9.3% in private schools. The DMFT for girls was 4.79 and 3.46 for boys in public schools (p<0.0001) and 2.11 and 1.65 (p=0.0007) in private schools. At the age of 12 years, the DMFT was 3.37 in public schools and 1.35 in private schools, while for the age of 15 it was 5.65 and 2.88 for each type of school. Among children whose mothers graduated from high school, the average DMFT was 4.21 in public schools and 1.81 in private schools. The prevalence of cavities was higher among girls in public schools, increasing with age and decreasing with higher education levels among mothers.

Abstract
Obesity (Body Mass Index > or = 30 kg/m2) has a high prevalence of 15-30% among European and American populations. It is an incurable chronic disease with a considerable mortality and co-morbidity. The co-morbidity can be reduced substantially by a moderate weight loss of 5-15%. The main cause of obesity is an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. Therefore, the treatment starts with an energy restricted diet, a reduction of sedentary lifestyle, increased physical activity, and behavioural therapy to change eating habits. When necessary, this treatment can be followed by pharmacotherapy or surgery. Obesity is related to several aspects of oral health, such as caries, periodontitis and xerostomia. In addition, obesity may have implications for the dental treatment plan.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify drugs associated with the complaint of dry mouth. MATERIALS AND METHODS MEDLINE was searched for papers 1980-2002 using keywords, oral, mouth, salivary, drugs, dry mouth and xerostomia, and relevant secondary references were hand-searched. RESULTS Evidence was forthcoming for a number of xerogenic drugs, especially antimuscarinic agents, some sympathomimetic agents, and agents affecting serotonin and noradrenaline uptake, as well as a miscellany of other drugs such as appetite suppressants, protease inhibitors and cytokines. CONCLUSION Dry mouth has a variety of possible causes but drugs--especially those with anticholinergic activity against the M3 muscarinic receptor--are the most common cause of reduced salivation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Late-life depression (LLD) initially occurs after age 65 years and is a major public health concern because the elderly who are at high risk constitute an ever-expanding segment of the population. LLD is a mental illness in which mood, thought content, and behavioral patterns are impaired, causing the individual distress, compromising social function, and impairing self-maintenance skills (eg, bathing, dressing, hygiene). LLD characterized by marked sadness or a loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities and may be accompanied by weight change, sleep disturbance, fatigue, difficulty in concentration, and a high suicide rate. Diagnosis of LLD is sometimes complicated by a denial of mood change and an inability to distinguish symptoms of a concurrent physical illness from those of a depressive etiology. The disorder is most frequently treated with antidepressant medications, and although older individuals have a recovery rate that is comparable with younger adults, they often take longer to recover, have more frequent relapses, and are more sensitive to the side effects of the drugs. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS Individuals undergoing treatment for LLD and those whose illness has not been diagnosed or treated often are seen with significant oral disease by the dentist. Dentists need to be cognizant of how to safely and compassionately provide care to those already receiving mental health services. They must also be familiar with the psychiatric symptoms of the disorder to effectuate a timely referral to a physician of those with occult or relapsing disease. LLD is frequently associated with a disinterest in oral hygiene, a cariogenic diet, diminished salivary flow, rampant dental decay, advanced periodontal disease, and oral dysesthesias. Many medications used to treat the disease magnify the xerostomia and increase the incidence of dental disease. Appropriate dental management necessitates a vigorous preventive dental education program, the use of artificial salivary products, antiseptic mouthwash, daily fluoride mouth rinse, and special precautions in administration of local anesthetics with vasoconstrictors and prescription of analgesics. CONCLUSION Dentists who invoke appropriate precautions can usually provide a full range of services to individuals with LLD, thereby enhancing patient self-esteem and contributing to the psychotherapeutic aspect of management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Olanzapine (OLZ) is unique among currently available antipsychotic medications in its antagonism of a range of receptor systems including dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, acetylcholine, and histamine. Olanzapine's mechanistic complexity provides a broad efficacy profile in patients with schizophrenia and acute, pure or mixed mania. Patients experience symptomatic relief of mania, anxiety, hallucinations, delusions, and agitation/aggression and reduced depressive, negative, and some cognitive symptoms. This paper will review the safety profile of OLZ, focusing on the elderly, where data are available. METHOD Preclinical and clinical studies of OLZ are reviewed, with emphasis on its possible effects on the cholinergic system and the histamine H(1) receptor. Weight change and related metabolic considerations, cardiac and cardiovascular safety, and motor function during treatment with OLZ are also reviewed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION In vitro receptor characterization methods, when done using physiologically relevant conditions allow accurate prediction of the relatively low rate of anticholinergic-like adverse events, extrapyramidal symptoms, and cardiovascular adverse events during treatment with OLZ. Currently available clinical data suggest olanzapine is predictably safe in treating adult patients of any age with schizophrenia and acute bipolar mania, as well as in treatment of patients with some types of neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Many diabetics complain of xerostomia, a condition that can affect oral health, nutritional status, and diet selection. This study's purposes were (1) to investigate the effect on salivary flow of type 2 diabetes and change in glycemic control in a group of older adults over time and (2) to compare flow rates with subjective complaints of xerostomia. STUDY DESIGN A total of 39 older adults, 24 with type 2 diabetes and 15 who were nondiabetic (controls), aged 54-90 years, participated in a 1-year follow-up study. Diabetic status was determined by means of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and 2-hour glucose tolerance tests. Poor glycemic control was defined as HbA1c > 9%. Unstimulated whole, unstimulated parotid, and stimulated parotid saliva flow rates were measured for all subjects by a single examiner at baseline and 1 year later. Each subject completed a standardized xerostomia questionnaire at every visit. RESULTS Age, sex, and duration of diabetes did not adversely affect salivary flow rates. Subjects with poorly controlled diabetes had significantly lower stimulated parotid saliva flow rates at both visits. There were no significant changes in flow rates over time on the basis of diabetic status or glycemic control. Subjects with diabetes reported significantly more complaints of thirst but not of xerostomia at 1 year. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that older adults with poorly controlled diabetes may have impaired salivary flow in comparison with subjects with better controlled diabetes and nondiabetic subjects, yet they may not have concomitant xerostomic complaints. There were no significant changes in salivary flow rates or glycemic control over the 1-year period.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is no consensus on the possible association between diabetes and salivary dysfunction in older persons with diabetes. This study's purpose was to investigate the effect of diabetes and glycemic control on salivary function in an older population. STUDY DESIGN Twenty nine persons with type 2 diabetes and 23 nondiabetic control subjects participated (age range, 54-90 years). Diabetic status was determined by a glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)) test and a 2-hour glucose tolerance test. Poor glycemic control was defined as HbA(1c) >9%. Unstimulated whole saliva, unstimulated parotid, and stimulated parotid flow rates were measured, and subjects completed a standardized xerostomia questionnaire. RESULTS Persons with poorly controlled diabetes had lower (P =.01) stimulated parotid flow rates than persons with well-controlled diabetes and nondiabetic control subjects. There were no significant differences in xerostomic complaints based on diabetic or glycemic control status or salivary flow rates. CONCLUSIONS These results provide some evidence that poorly controlled diabetes may be associated with salivary dysfunction in older adults who have no concomitant complaints of xerostomia.
