This integrative literature review aimed to analyze studies about factors associated with the utilization of dental health services by the pediatric population between zero and 15 years old, published between 2006 and 2016 and available in Portuguese, English or Spanish. A survey of articles in the Lilacs and Medline databases was carried out, using the search strategy: ("dental care/utilization" OR "dental health services/utilization") AND ("child" OR "child, preschool") AND NOT adult. To analyze the methodological quality, the adapted Critical Appraisal Skill Programme (CASP) and the Agency for Healthcare and Research and Quality (AHRQ) were used. The following predictors of use of dental health services stood out: factors associated with children or adolescents (age, frequency of tooth brushing, chronic conditions), caregivers (schooling, perception of child's dental health, perceived oral health needs), dentists (availability at night and on the weekends) and follow up of oral health by the family health team. These are inherent factors for the planning of oral health policies or programs for the pediatric population. However, these factors vary according to the context, and therefore, a contextual analysis should be conducted.

Primary manifestations of extraganglion non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) from T-cells in the oral cavity are rare and often difficult to diagnose. Herein, we describe a case of T-cell NHL with a primary lesion on the lip diagnosed with a 25-year-old woman. The patient reported the appearance of the initial lesion on the upper lip, which advanced to the hard palate and oral mucosa. Histological examination and immunohistochemistry were compatible with peripheral T-cell NHL without further specifications. The proposed treatment consisted of six cycles of multiagent chemotherapy. The patient died from complications of the disease before the third cycle of chemotherapy. Understanding the clinical signs of lymphoma is important for the early diagnosis of this disease to avoid aggressive and potentially fatal behavior.

The condylomata acuminata is a benign epithelial neoplasm induced by papillomavirus, and it is characterized by the proliferation of stratified squamous epithelial tissue that affects the anogenital and oral mucosa. It is considered to be a sexually transmitted disease and has a higher prevalence in individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus. Various therapies have been used for the removal of lesions, such as cryotherapy, surgical laser and surgical excision, which are painful and scarring. These techniques, however, do not eliminate the virus and relapses are common shortly after treatment. The use of immunomodulators has been proposed to be an alternative treatment, as imidazolquinoline has been shown to be effective in the treatment of lesions in the anogenital region. However, its use in the oral cavity has been the subject of few reports in the literature. Thus, the objective of this study is to describe a case of warts in the labial mucosa of an HIV positive patient using imidazolquinoline 5%.

Introduction: Individuals undergoing onco-hematologic treatment present higher risk for developing oral and/or systemic infections, due to the intense immunosuppression and compromise of the mucosal barriers during treatment. The aim of this study was to identify the fungal and viral oral infections that most frequently affected patients undergoing onco-hematologic treatment in a University Hospital, and relate them to the biopsychosocial data, underlying disease and treatment. Methods: This was a crosssectional study in which descriptive analysis of the data was performed, and the Exact Fisher test was applied to verify the association between the infections and the variables: sex, age group, educational level, underlying disease and treatment, considering a 5% probability of error. Results and Discussion: The clinical exam revealed that oral candidiasis was present in 8.92% of the individuals, and herpes simplex, in 4.5%. No significant associations were found between the variables and infections. The fungal and viral oral infections were little prevalente in individuals with hematologic neoplasms in the present study, suggesting that the action of dental surgeons in caring for the onco-hematologic patients at the Institution evaluated and the protocols use were efficient.

Aim To evaluate the use of the network of oral health services by children and adolescents with leukemia, according to the phase of cancer treatment, type of dental treatment received, and access barriers. Methods and Results An exploratory cross‐sectional study carried out in a referral hospital in cancer in northeast of Brazil, with all children and adolescents (3–16 years old) with leukemia who used dental services and who attended the medical consultation in the outpatient clinic between March and August 2016. The analysis of the medical records and a structured interview with caregivers were performed. The majority who used only the specialized network were in a single phase of cancer treatment (49.1%), had oral mucositis treatment (79.2%), and had a time of displacement for oral health services greater than 40 minutes (92.6%). In addition, dental care was centered in the specialized network (76.8%) and during hospitalization (37.7%). Conclusions The findings suggest that the oral health care of these individuals is centered on tertiary care, reflecting a deficiency in communication between the network services, as well as the nonrecognition of the basic network as a caregiver source by its users. Despite this, more research is needed.

Objetivo: Relatar o caso de um paciente com diagnóstico de Síndromeda Imunodeficiência Adquirida (SIDA) e Sarcoma de Kaposi (SK)tendo como sítio primário a cavidade bucal. Descrição do caso: Pacientedo sexo masculino, previamente hígido, apresentou um quadrode astenia, tosse seca, perda ponderal, esplenomegalia e odinofagia.Paciente foi encaminhado para um Hospital Universitário, onde foi realizadoum teste rápido para Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana (VIH),sendo positivo para o mesmo. O paciente não sabia sobre a infecçãodo vírus e devido ao quadro de imunossupressão severa com contagemde células CD4 de apenas 5 células/mm³e carga viral de 246.441cópias/mlapresentava infecções secundárias à SIDA.No exame odontológico,foi observadauma lesão em palato duro de coloração arroxeada,compatível com SK, tal lesão apresentouum curso rápido einvasivo, comconsequente disseminação da doença.Para determinaro diagnóstico foi realizada uma biopsia incisonal da lesão sob profilaxiaantibiótica, devido ao quadro de imunossupressão do paciente.O resultado do diagnóstico patológico foi de SK. Com isso, o pacientefoi encaminhado para tratamento especializado. Conclusão: O SK frequentementetem como sítio primário a boca, por isso, é importante oconhecimento do cirurgião-dentista sobre esse tipo de lesão para queseja possível a realização do diagnósticoprecoce, no intuito de realizarmedidas terapêuticas necessárias para atenuar os sintomas e melhorara qualidade de vida do paciente.ABSTRACTPurpose: To report the case of a patient diagnosed with Acquired ImmuneDeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and Kaposi’s Sarcoma (KS) with thebuccal cavity as the primary site.

O cuidado ao paciente hospitalizado é desafiador devido à complexidade das doenças e seus respectivos tratamentos. Além disso, alterações bucais podem alterar a evolução e resposta das condições sistêmicas e vice-versa. Então, a participação do cirurgião-dentista na equipe multiprofissional é fundamental para promover um cuidado integral e mais resolutivo. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste artigo é relatar três casos de experiências exitosas da Odontologia no Hospital Unimed Recife 3. Os casos evidenciam que a presença do dentista em ambiente hospitalar pode colaborar de maneira significativa no cuidado integral do paciente, sendo esse profissional essencial na busca de focos infecciosos bucais, no diagnóstico e tratamento de lesões bucais decorrentes de trauma e de outras etiologias e no restabelecimento e/ou manutenção da saúde bucal.
