Background: The clinical and pathological evaluation of oral lesions are very important in this field. The purpose of this study was to assess clinico- pathological agreement on 232 cases with oral lesion s.Methods: The consecutive files of 232 patients with oral lesions from pathological laboratory archives of Babol Dental faculty and Shahid Beheshti Hospital were reviewed and the data include...

Background. Reliable immunohistochemical assays to assess the definitive role of mast cells (MCs) and angiogenesis in the pathogenesis of oral reactive lesions are generally not available. The aim of the present study was to evaluate mast cell counts (MCC) and microvessel density (MVD) in oral reactive lesions and determine the correlation between MCC and MVD. Methods. Seventy-five cases of rea...

A varied spectrum of lesions ranging from developmental, reactive, inflammatory to neoplastic manifests in the oral cavity ,as oral mucosa is constantly subjected to varied stimuli. These lesions may be either generalized or localized. Most of the localized oral overgrowths are considered to be reactive rather than neoplastic in nature. The reactive lesions of oral cavity are associated with in...

INTRODUCTION Peripheral reactive lesions of soft tissue are common oral lesions that dentists face during routine examinations. Diagnosis and development of a treatment plan is difficult if dentists are not aware of the prevalence and clinical symptoms of these lesions. The frequency of these lesions differs across various populations. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and di...

Reactive proliferations of the gingiva comprise lesions such as pyogenic granuloma (PG), inflammatory fibroepithelial hyperplasia (IFH), peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF), and peripheral giant cell lesion. Osteopontin (OPN) has a dual role, it promotes mineralization when it is bound to solid substrate, and on the other hand, it inhibits mineralization when it is seen in association with solut...
