Despite advances in AIDS control after the advent of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), immune activation persists and is associated with disease progression caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1. HIV-1 infection has been associated with periodontitis, and it is known that periodontitis influences the systemic state and may be responsible for the continuous immune sti…
Oral cancer is undoubtedly one of the major public health problems in Brazil, and despite advances in prevention and diagnosis procedures, little improvement in epidemiological indicators has been detected over time. Thus the discussion of public policies with risk factor elimination/reduction strategies and case tracking seems to be promising, and will be addressed at this event, with em…
The revolution of ART made HIV-1 infection a chronic controllable disease, reduced HIV-1 mortality rate, and dramatically increased life expectancy of HIV-1-infected patients. In this scenario, periodontitis assumes an important role in the HIV-1 infection status for activating systemic inflammation favoring viral replication and influencing HIV-1 status, and also acting as a possible res…
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting women with a frequency of 0.1 to 4% in a general population. The development of clinical protocols for the diagnosis of OLP has been suggested in order to standardize and use in small and big groups for developing multicentric studies. This study aims to determine the clinical, histopathological and immunopathological pr…
Oral Cancer is a major public health problem in Brazil, and little improvement in epidemiological indicators has been detected over time. In Ribeirão Preto, part of the oral cancer prevention and early diagnosis campaign involves the action of dentists in the annual flu vaccination campaign. The association of the two campaigns allows the extremely important interaction between dentists a…
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the oral mucosa, often affecting females, especially in adults and the elderly. Characteristically, the pathogenesis of OLP mainly involves the action of T cell subpopulations, including CD4 T helper lymphocytes and CD8 T cytotoxic lymphocytes, the latter involved in the process of inducing basal keratinocyte apoptosi…
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease, which mainly affects women, with frequency ranging from 0.1% to 4% in the general population, and, although controversial, it is considered a potentially malignant disorder. Several markers have been proposed as indicators of malignant transformation, with the possibility of contributing to clarifying the issue of malignant trans…
