“…Their essential characteristics, although encouraged by a clinical rigor, took their professional walking toward interdisciplinarity. There are, clearly, the magnitude of the significant exchange of knowledge and experiences with other areas of professionals, mainly of Dentistry and Medicine [1][2][3] . The world's scientific literature is replete with present relevant researches on caries in children 4,5 .…”

The background of this study is speech therapists, physicians and dentists that are professionals that in their professional actions, conduct intraoral examinations on their patients. Many children, from birth, have affection for oral lesions that can bring temporary inconvenience to daily life. The purpose is to provide health professionals a systematic review about the most common oral lesions in children and the interests of speech therapy. Health professionals should always seek to increase their knowledge by improving health care for their patients. Keywords: Oral Health; Stomatitis; Mucocele RESUMO Este estudo tem como tema, fonoaudiólogos, médicos e dentistas que são profissionais que, frequentemente, em suas ações profissionais, realizam exames intrabucais em seus pacientes. Muitas crianças, desde seu nascimento, apresentam o acometimento por lesões bucais que podem trazer transtornos temporários ao cotidiano. O objetivo é apresentar aos profissionais de saúde uma revisão sistemática acerca das lesões bucais mais frequentes em crianças e de interesse da fonoaudiologia. Os profissionais de saúde devem buscar sempre aumentar seus conhecimentos melhorando a atenção à saúde de seus pacientes.

“…19 Additionally, the accumulation of plaque caused by poor oral hygiene cause halitosis and increases the severity of mucosal infections, significant event since the presence of uncontrolled infection becomes a limiting factor to the success of the therapy 3,12 . Therefore, the oral cavity should be examined for the presence of candidiasis signals, because of the relationship between xerostomia and fungal growth caused by it.…”

Objective: developing the main diagnoses and nursing interventions related to complications of radiotherapy in patients with head and neck cancer. Method: a descriptive study developed in three stages: literature review in the databases MEDLINE and LILACS; identification of complications reported at least in 50% of the articles, which were xerostomia and mucositis and composition of diagnoses and nursing interventions according to the International Classification for Nursing Practice. Results: there were formulated the diagnoses: "Low Salivation" and "Inflammation of the Oral Mucous Membrane" and 40 nursing interventions. Conclusion: this study contributed in the organization of nursing care through the use of a standardized terminology for diagnoses and nursing interventions that support the nursing consultation in the sector of radiotherapy

2ABSTRACT PURPOSE Radiotherapy induced xerostomia (RIX) is the most common permanent side effect of radiotherapy (RT) to the head and neck (H&N). There is no effective topical treatment. LMS-611 is a mimetic of a natural lamellar body which prevents thick secretions like saliva from congesting organs. Primary objective -assess saliva properties before and during RT to the H&N. Secondary objectives -re-assess saliva properties with the addition of LMS-611, measure inter-patient variability, correlate patient reported symptoms with laboratory measurements and design subsequent first-in-human clinical trial of LMS-611. METHODS Patients with H&N cancer receiving RT as primary treatment were recruited. Patients completed the Groningen RIX (GRIX) questionnaire and provided saliva samples at baseline, weeks 2, 4 and 6 of RT. Saliva adhesiveness and viscosity was tested by measuring time taken to travel 5cm down an inclined plane. RESULTS 30 patients were enrolled. The inclined plane test (IPT) results (seconds) were as follows: baseline 31.3, week-2: 49.7, week-4: 51.1, week-6: 55.7. Wide inter-patient variability was seen at baseline. GRIX scores increased as RT progressed. Spearman rank correlation coefficient of inclined plane tests with GRIX scores was -0.06 at baseline, week-2 0.25, week-4 0.12 and week-6 0.08. LMS-611 concentrations of 10mg/ml and 20mg/ml significantly reduced IPT times on saliva samples. CONCLUSIONS Saliva becomes more visco-adhesive and RIX worsens as RT progresses. There is little correlation between objective and subjective measures of RIX. The addition of LMS611to thick, sticky saliva restores its fluidity ex-vivo. This warrants in-vivo analysis of the effect of LMS-611 upon RIX.
