Oral hygiene instructions and professional control as part of the treatment of desquamative gingivitis. Systematic review

Abstract

Background The aim of this present article was to evaluate the scientific evidence on the efficacy of daily hygiene and professional prophylaxis for treatment of desquamative gingivitis. Material and Methods The present systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA protocol. Searches were carried out in Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library up to July 2018, randomized clinical trials and cohort studies on desquamative gingivitis (DG), and oral diseases joined to DG. Results After screening, we found that nine publications met the eligibility criteria eight cohort studies and one randomized control trial. The diagnosis of the diseases corresponded to oral lichen planus (n=185), mucous membrane pemphigoid (n=13); plasma cell gingivitits (n=15) and pemphigus vulgar (n=11). The follow-up was between a week and a year after instructing patients. Dental daily hygiene and professional prophylaxis, at least with supragingival scaling and polishing have significantly improved the extension of the lesion and reduced the activity of DG, and gingival bleeding in all patients. Furthermore, these techniques have also reduced pain and gingival plaque. Conclusions In conclusion the studies presented support the efficacy of maintaining personal and professional oral hygiene in patients with GD, reducing the clinical signs of the disease, regardless of its pathogenesis. Key words: Desquamative gingivitis, oral hygiene, oral lichen planus, mucous membrane pemphigoid; pemphigus, plasma cell gingivitis.

Multidisciplinary Management of Desquamative Gingivitis with Periodontal Disease

“…In this case report, patient's DG condition had improved following completion of initial periodontal therapy. This was in line with the observation [5] which had shown that reduction in the overall inflammatory condition of the mucosa, including ordinary plaque-associated inflammation, was beneficial for controlling this group of immune disease.…”

Gingivitis descamativa asociada a penfigoide de membranas mucosas

“…Los pacientes con DG deben recibir instrucciones por parte del periodoncista sobre el mantenimiento de una higiene adecuada, utilizando diferentes técnicas, cepillos de dientes con cerdas suaves o extra suaves, que se puedan insertar fácilmente sobre el surco gingival y el uso de hilo dental. 25…”

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in Periodontal Diseases: A Systematic Review Based on the Efficacy Model

“…Another manifestation of the periodontal diseases in molar-premolar teeth is the formation of furcation defects [8][9][10][11]. Since gingivitis affects only the soft tissue, its diagnosis and treatment rely solely on clinical findings including redness, puffiness, and bleeding [12][13][14]. However, periodontitis could lead to bone additional information of clinical relevance has to be explored and evaluated.…”
