Hepatitis B virus has been a recognized hazard for several years, and in the past oral surgeons and other dental health care staff have been infected as a result of occupational exposure. Hepatitis C virus in contrast does not appear to be a major occupational hazard to dental staff, nevertheless, infection with this virus can lead to significant morbidity and may have oral manifestations. Hepatitis D virus can be nosocomally transmitted, but vaccination against the hepatitis B virus minimizes this problem. Hepatitis E virus is not of clinical relevance to dentistry, although dental staff who are in areas of endemic infection can become infected as a result of enteric transmission. A number of other putative viral agents may also cause hepatitis, but additional data is awaited, and their significance to dental practice is unknown.

The microscopic features of the injury are those of acute inflammation, but the nature of the plant's toxicity remains controversial. The numerous needles (raphides) of calcium oxalate, which are contained in specialized cells (idioblasts) in the plant, and proteases have both been implicated. When stimulated, the idioblasts fire the raphides with some force for a distance of two to three cell lengths. One possibility is that the local toxicity of dieffenbachia may be caused by a combination of this mechanical release of the raphides, which results in traumatic injury, and the effects of a chemical toxin carried on their surfaces and in their grooves.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100992,"journal":{"name":"Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology","volume":"78 5","pages":"Pages 631-633"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0030-4220(94)90177-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92121652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We obtained samples of oral saline solution rinse from 40 patients with Hodgkin's disease before radiotherapy and from 31 patients with Hodgkin's disease who had survived 1 to 24 years after radiotherapy. We also evaluated caries experience and history of fluoride gel use for caries prevention in these patients. Mutans streptococci and lactobacilli levels were significantly higher in the postradiotherapy patients with carious teeth, particularly in those with limited home use of fluoride gels. In the postradiotherapy group, caries parameters were significantly higher (<em>p</em> < 0.05) than in the preradiotherapy group. Within the postradiotherapy group, both caries and microbial parameters tended to be higher in patients who were less compliant about using the recommended 0.4% stannous fluoride “brush-in” technique than in those who used the gel regularly at home. This study indicates that for patients with Hodgkin's disease who receive mantle field irradiation during the management of their disease, a sustained brush-in program with stannous fluoride gel can be of benefit for caries prevention and for limitation of oral levels of cariogenic mutans streptococci.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100992,"journal":{"name":"Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology","volume":"78 5","pages":"Pages 577-582"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0030-4220(94)90167-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18839899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
