Clinical and epidemiological profile of oral squamous cell carcinoma in young adults: a multicentric study in Argentina.

Introduction: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is an increasingly prevalent disease, especially among young patients. Research on the factors influencing the progression of this disease is still limited in Latin America.

Objective: To analyze the sociodemographic, clinical-pathological characteristics as well as risk factors involved in young adults with OSCC.

[Effect of the accumulation of risk factors on the risk of oral squamous cell carcinoma].

Introduction: the causative factors of oral squamous cell carcinoma are not necessary and not sufficient causes, even the most accepted ones, such as tobacco and alcohol. Little is known about the cumulative effect of all risk factors for oral cancer. The objective of this work was to analyze whether the sum of oral cancer risk factors is associated with an increase in its risk.

Effect of two mouthwashes on salivary ph.

To analyze the effect of two mouthwashes on salivary pH and correlate it with age, buffer capacity and saliva flow rate in healthy volunteers, a crossover phase IV clinical study involving three age-based groups was designed. Two commercial mouthwashes (MW), Cool Mint ListerineR (MWa) and Periobacter R (MWb) were used. The unstimulated saliva of each individual was first characterized by measuring flow rate, pH, and buffer capacity.
