it is the output power and density of the lasers which determine whether a laser is a low or high-power one. if the density is less than 670mw/cm2, the laser is called a low power one. the output power of these lasers is usually less than 250mw. they use different mechanisms to accelerate wound healing such as: cellular biostimulation, improvement of circulation, vasodilation, analgesic and ant...

OBJECTIVE Some rheumatic diseases are being influenced by weather conditions. We examined the relationship between oral ulcers and weather/season in Behçet's disease (BD) patients and evaluated the oral ulcers' characteristics by the patients' perspectives. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with BD were evaluated using a self-questionnaire, including patients' clinical and demographical character...

Oral ulcers are the most common mucosal sign in juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE). The ulcers are one of the key clinical features; however, the terminology of oral ulcers, especially in JSLE patients, is often vague and ill-defined. In fact, there are several clinical manifestations of oral ulcers in JSLE, and some lesions occur when the disease is active, indicating that earl...

The recalcitrant oral ulceration (OU) and genital ulceration (GU) of Behçet disease (BD) can be very distressing and no standard therapy has been established yet. To determine the efficacy of Wet-cupping (W-C) as adjuvant treatment of oral and genital ulceration of BD, 24 patients were included in this prospective and comparative study. All patients included in the study had a recalcitrant oral...

Oral ulcers have long been a source of diagnostic difficulty. This has been attributed to the tremendous overlap in their clinical appearances. The problem is compounded by the fact that a number of oral ulcers may be superimposed by infections owing to their easy access to the oral cavity and thin nature of the oral mucous membrane which may get traumatized locally adding additional challenge ...

UNLABELLED Ghrelin exhibits protective and therapeutic effect in different parts of the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of the present study was to examine the influence of ghrelin administration on the healing of oral ulcers in rats with intact salivary gland and in sialoadenectomized rats. Gingival and lingual ulcers were induced by acetic acid. After induction of ulcers, rats were treated wi...

Ulcers are common in the oral cavity. A wide spectrum of disorders can give rise to oral ulcers which may range from a local minor trauma to a significant local disease such as a malignancy or any other systemic illness. Early detection and prevention can have a potential impact on the overall incidence, morbidity, and mortality from oral cancers. However the clinical features may sometimes be ...

introduction Oral ulcers are common, with an estimated point prevalence of 4% in the United States. Aphthous ulcers may affect as many as 25% of the population worldwide. Patients with an oral ulcer may present initially to a general practitioner or a dental practitioner. Most ulcers are benign and resolve spontaneously but a small proportion of them are malignant. The incidence and prevalence ...
