Use of mouthwashes against COVID-19 in dentistry

The proximity to the patient during dental care, high generation of aerosols, and the identification of SARS-CoV-2 in saliva have suggested the oral cavity as a potential reservoir for COVID-19 transmission. Mouthwashes are widely-used solutions due to their ability to reduce the number of microorganisms in the oral cavity. Although there is still no clinical evidence that they can prevent the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, preoperative antimicrobial mouth rinses with chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX),...

RNA In‐situ Hybridisation for Human Papillomavirus Testing in Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma on a Routine Clinical Diagnostic Platform

Abstract Background The current diagnostic standard for detection of high‐risk HPV in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma is via a two‐stage algorithm, namely p16 immunohistochemistry followed by HPV DNA in‐situ hybridisation in p16 positive cases. This study evaluated the feasibility of automated RNA in‐situ hybridisation on a clinical platform as a single‐step alternative to the two‐stage algorithm within a routine diagnostic histopathology setting. Methods Thirty‐eight p16 positive...

Expression of stem cell markers in stroma of odontogenic cysts and tumors

Abstract Background The stroma of odontogenic cysts/tumors may confer them differential biological behavior. We aimed to investigate the immuno‐expression of stem cell markers (Nanog, SOX2, Oct4, CD34) in the stroma of odontogenic cysts and tumors. CD34 was investigated exclusively as a marker for stromal fibroblast/fibrocyte cells (CD34+SFCs). CD34+SFCs were also investigated ultrastructurally. Methods Ten cases each of primary odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), recurrent OKC, dentigerous cyst,...
