RESUMO
The aim of this study was to assess whether a toothpaste containing amyloglucosidase and glucose oxidase (Z) provoked any effect on minor recurrent aphthous ulcers, (RAU) as compared with a placebo toothpaste (P). Twenty patients (11 females), suffering from minor RAU, participated in this study during a period of 15 weeks. The patients brushed their teeth twice a day with the toothpaste. They were examined once a week to monitor the number and size of ulcers. The mean number of ulcers in both groups was about 40% lower than that found before treatment. Ulcer mean diameter had also decreased in both the placebo (about 32%) and experimental groups (about 66%). There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in number of weeks with ulcers, in total number of ulcers per patient, and in mean diameter of the ulcers. In conclusion, no significant differences in therapeutic effects could be shown between treatments with Z and P.

RESUMO
The prevalence of grooved tongue, geographic tongue, and ankyloglossia, was investigated in 660 children, 3 to 13 years old, which attended the Out patient Clinic of the University Hospital of Buenos Aires for unrelated complaints. The figures obtained are at variance--by far--from those published by other people engaged in the same line of research. Probably, further studies with a much larger amount of patients are called for.

In this study the relative frequency of oral lesions was evaluated in a group of 526 patients, 55 years old or elder. Clinical and pathological data were obtained from 244 patients who attended to a clinic of Medical and Social Assistance Program (PAMI) ad from 282 cases registered in the files of the Surgical Pathology Laboratory F.O.U.B.A. (LAP) since 1984 to 1986. The mean age of the groups was 63 years old. The most frequency lesions were the pseudotumors (44.6%) in LAP and (17.2%) in PAMI; premalignant lesions were (20.5%) in LAP, while in PAMI (2.4%). The cysts in LAP found (15.6%) in PAMI were (2.4%). The groups of PAMI showed (90%) of Candidiasis. Traumatic ulcer (30.7%) and afthae (28.8%). In LAP were (4.6%) the traumatic ulcer. The malignant tumors the most frequency was carcinoma espinocelular (8.16%) LAP and (6.56%) PAMI. It was remarkable that stomatodine as represented in PAMI (72.2%) and Candidiasis were (90%). Candidiasis were 90% of the specific inflammations. Results suggest that oral mobility in elderly patients correlates with the findings in this type of social assisted groups. The figures of the importance of methodical collaboration of Stomatologists and Oral Pathologists for differential diagnosis.

The aim of this survey was to determine the prevalence of oral mucosa lesions in children aged 4-13 yr from two schools, one (S1) having a higher socioeconomic status than the other (S2). In all, 846 children were examined, 463 from S1 and 383 from S2, of whom 555 were boys and 291 were girls. There were 359 boys and 104 girls in S1; 196 boys and 187 girls in S2. Fifteen different lesion types were discerned. The most frequent ones were recurrent aphthous ulceration (RAU) (92 cases); fissured cheilitis (54); herpes labialis (44); angular cheilitis (30); geographic tongue (25); smooth tongue (22); and plicated tongue (17). An outstanding finding was the contrasting distribution of certain lesion types in the two schools. RAU was observed in 19% of the children from S1, making up 50% of all lesions detected. However, in S2 only 2% exhibited RAU, making up less than 4% of observed lesions. On the other hand, herpes labialis was seen in 1% of S1 and 10% of S2 children, regardless of age or sex. Plicated tongue was found in 3.2% in S1 and 0.5% in S2; fissured cheilitis in 2.9% in S1 and 12.8% in S2; and angular cheilitis in 1.1% in S1 and 6.5% in S2. Therefore, there were no statistical differences between the schools in the ratio of total lesions observed to children examined, but a significant difference was apparent when individual lesions were taken into account.
