RESUMO Objetivos: Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a efetividade de protocolos de escleroterapia com diferentes diluições de oleato de etanolamina no tratamento de varizes orais. Métodos: Dados clínicos e imagens de 14 casos tratados com escleroterapia foram avaliados, sendo realizado análises descritivas. Resultados: As mulheres (58%) e a cor de pele branca (83%) prevaleceram na amostra. A idade variou entre 14 e 79 anos, com média de 47 anos (DP = 19 anos). As localizações anatômicas mais comuns foram a mucosa jugal e o lábio inferior. O volume final do agente esclerosante (Ethamolin®) variou de 0,4 a 4,3ml e a concentração variou de 5% a 100%. O número de sessões variou de 1 a 12 e o número de pontos por aplicação foi de 1 a 7 pontos. Dor e edema foram observados em 43% e 29% dos pacientes, respectivamente. Conclusão: A escleroterapia com oleato de monoetanolamina diluído em anestésico é uma opção segura e eficaz para o tratamento das varizes orais, independentemente da concentração. No entanto, edema e dor parecem estar diretamente associados ao aumento da concentração do medicamento.

ABSTRACT Objective: This study aim to evaluate the effectiveness of sclerotherapy protocols with different dilutions of ethanolamine oleate in the treatment of oral varicose veins. Methods: Clinical data and images of 14 cases treated with sclerotherapy were analyzed and descriptive analyses were performed. Results: Females (58%) and white skin color (83%) prevailed. Age varied between 14 and 79 years, with 47 years on mean (SD = 19 years). The most common anatomical locations were the buccal mucosa and lower lip. The final volume of the sclerosing agent (Ethamolin®) ranged from 0.4 to 4.3ml and the concentration ranged from 5% to 100%. The number of sessions ranged from 1 to 12 and the number of points per application was 1 to 7 points. Pain and edema were seen in 43% and 29% of patients, respectively. Conclusion: Sclerotherapy with monoethanolamine oleate diluted in anesthetic is a safe and effective option for the treatment of this lesion, regardless of concentration. However, edema and pain seem to be directly associated with increased drug concentration.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Lichen planus is considered to be the most common dermatological disease involving the oral mucosa. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the profile, clinical features, and the presence of dysplasia and candidiasis in patients with oral lichen planus. METHODS: A total of 21 patients were selected from 258 patients at risk for oral cancer development. RESULTS: Most of the patients were white (76,2%), female (66,6%), with mean age of 58.8 years. Eight were smokers and seven were alcohol consumers. The buccal mucosa was the most affected site, followed by the tongue and the gingiva. The reticular pattern was the most common appearance. Histopathology depicted dysplasia in nine cases and cytopathology was positive for Candida in eight cases in the first appointment. CONCLUSION: Our data are similar to the literature. Cytopathology was important for the diagnosis of candidiasis. Although the presence of dysplasia was verified, further studies are necessary to clarify the importance of this finding.
