Abstract We would like to thank Dr. Saga and Dr. Takenoshita for initiating a discussion on our recent systematic review on burning mouth syndrome (BMS) conducted as part of the World Workshop on Oral Medicine VII. Our study reviewed the definitions and diagnostic criteria utilized in randomized control trials (RCTs) involving BMS.(Ariyawardana et al., 2019) The purpose of a systematic review is to collate and assimilate information in order to make judgments on the evidence and ideally make recommendations...
Abstract Regarding recent original article named “World Workshop on Oral Medicine VII: Burning mouth syndrome: A systematic review of disease definitions and diagnostic criteria utilized in randomized clinical trials”, the researchers conducted a systematic review of definitions and diagnostic criteria used for burning mouth syndrome (BMS) studies (Ariyawardana et al., 2019). In that study, diabetes mellitus, Parkinson's disease, autoimmune diseases and thyroid diseases are reported to be often...
Endoscopically-assisted partial parotidectomy for benign tumours has been reported, but we have evaluated its feasibility through different concealed incisions compared with conventional parotidectomy. A total of 124 patients with parotid tumours were enrolled in this retrospective study: an endoscopically-assisted group (n=37) compared with a group operated on conventionally (n=87). The incision for endoscopically-assisted partial, total parotidectomy and selective neck dissection was based on location...

Abstract The current three‐tier grading system (well, moderate and poorly differentiated) used to morphologically classify head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is inadequate for categorisation of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) owing to the lack of prognostic value. The aim of this study was to assess the validity of a classification system for OPSCC based on morphology and HPV infection status. Haematoxylin and eosin slides of 121 patients (100 M, 21 F, age range 40‐89 years)...
Abstract Angular cheilitis (AC) is a clinical entity first described in the XIX century, characterized by erythema, rhagades, ulcerations, and crusting of one or both lip commissures and perilabial skin, responsible of an unpleasant and painful discomfort. Aim of this manuscript was to examine and evaluate the therapeutic options actually available for AC. Despite antifungals being the first‐line treatment for most of clinicians, very limited scientific evidence supports their reliability, with...
