ABSTRACT Mycoplasma-induced rash and mucositis is a distinctive subset of reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruption identified in 2015 to differentiate it from other mucocutaneous disorders such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, erythema multiforme major, and toxic epidermal necrolysis. Although its pathophysiology is not completely understood, Mycoplasma-induced rash and mucositis is characterized by polyclonal B cell proliferation, production of antibodies against Mycoplasma pneumoniae, subsequent immune complex deposition, and keratinocyte apoptosis. Clinical manifestations include scattered cutaneous lesions and severe mucositis, which predominantly affect children and […]

ABSTRACT Peri-implant diseases, caused by bacteria from biofilm related to dental implants, are one of the main causes of late loss of implants. In this sense, peri-implant diseases are divided into peri-implant mucositis, when it affects only the soft tissues, and peri-implantitis, when there is a bone involvement, which can lead to the failure of dental implant therapy. Thus, biofilm removal is essential for peri-implant health, allowing long-term success in implant therapy. To improve the visualization of oral biofilm, which […]
