The electronic cigarette (e-cig) was developed to promote and facilitate smoking cessation, however, the relationship of risks and benefits as well as the effects of e-cig on the oral mucosa are unknown. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of using e-cig on saliva and the oral mucosa of its users. Two groups will be composed: Electronic Cigarette Group (GCE) - 48 regular…
This aim of this work is to investigate smoking as an addiction till different molecular changes caused by tobacco. Molecular and cytogenetic analysis will evaluate the tobacco use damage. Four groups will be investigated for molecular and cytogenetic changes; Group 1: 30 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC); Group 2: 30 patients equivalent to group 1 with benign lesions in o…
Recent studies have highlighted the role of tobacco in oral carcinogenesis, and that the exfoliative cytology is an effective technique for evaluation of these patients. The aim of the present study is to conduct a detailed analysis of chronic smoking effect by analysis of epithelial maturation, aneuploidy, and evaluation of epigenetic changes caused by methylation of the DNA repair genes…
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is an infectious disease caused by HIV, which is able to induce morphological and cytological changes in oral squamous epithelial cells. Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate oral mucosa changes caused by HIV infection studying inflammatory activity, cell maturation and morphological changes of the oral mucosa cells from HIV + patients c…

Clinical diagnosis is composed of anamnesis, physical examination, and complementary exams, and during this process there may be failures by both health professionals and patients. To formulate the diagnosis, the only means available are knowledge, identification and appreciation of the patient's signs and symptoms. The aim of this study is to verify the self-perception of patients seen i…
Saliva is a transparent watery secretion secreted by the salivary glands directly into the oral cavity. Most of it (about 99%) is water and about 1% protein. These proteins and peptides can be characterized and analyzed to monitor or identify various diseases. The development of new protein separation techniques and different instrumental devices such as spectrometry offers a wide choice …
The aim of this study is to verify possible inflammatory and cellular maturation changes in electronic cigarette vaporizers (E-cig) and to compare them with chronic smokers, former smokers and non-smokers. Exfoliative cytology of lateral border of the tongue of 80 patients will be collected and smears will be divided into four groups: E-cig group: 20 electronic cigarette vaporizers for at…
