At present, caries has become one of the diseases that threaten peoples' health. Because caries usually does not affect patients' life safety, it is not paid enough attention to. In fact, the harm of caries to human health is significant. Caries can cause damage, defect or loss of teeth in the oral cavity. And it may seriously affect the quality of life and health of patients. Especially for children, they are in a critical period of growth and development. Caries may cause pain, lead to inflammation of alveolar bone and jawbone. The development of the dental system will be affected, and even lead to deformity. The prevalence of caries is high in children. Therefore, general prevention and treatment of caries is of great significance to the healthy growth of children

SummaryBackground and Aim: Substantial evidence supports an association between chronic infections/inflammation, and cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of chronic periodontitis on head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma (HNSCC).Materials and Methods: The study population consisted of 46 patients, divided into two groups. Cases were patients diagnosed with primary HNSCC (n=26). Controls were all patients seen during the same period of time but negative for malignancy (n=20). The severity of periodontitis was assessed through clinical determination of the bleeding index, periodontal index, tooth mobility degree and alveolar bone loss (ABL) on standardized panoramic radiographs. All patients were asked to fill in a questionnaire regarding aspects of quality of life before the diagnostic was established.Results: Each millimetre of ABL was associated with >4-fold increased risk for HNSCC. The strength of the association was greatest in the oral cavity, followed by the oropharynx and larynx. The association persisted in subjects who never used tobacco and alcohol. Patients with periodontitis, whose bleeding and periodontal indices and tooth mobility values were higher, were more likely to have poorly differentiated oral cavity SCC than those without periodontitis (32.8% versus 11.5%; P = 0.038). The patients in the study group had higher values regarding the questionnaire points compared to those in the control group.Conclusions: This study suggests that chronic periodontitis is a risk factor for the development of HNSCC. These results have implications for practical and improved strategies for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of HNSCC.

El presente artículo está enfocado hacia el Estudio del Arte de Calidad de Vida desde el área de la Salud, específicamente tomando en cuenta las investigaciones realizadas con niños(as) y adolescentes en cáncer y su Calidad de Vida; para ello se realizó una revisión de los últimos diez años, después de un arqueo bibliográfico se consideraron aproximadamente 80 artículos para su revisión y discusión. De acuerdo a la revisión realizada se enfocó en tres aspectos: a) Elementos conceptuales relacionados con la Calidad de Vida(CV) y la Calidad de Vida relacionada con Salud (CVRS); b) la medición de la CVRS específicamente en niños(as) y adolescentes y c) Los diferentes instrumentos de evaluación creados para medir la CVRS en niños(as) y adolescentes. En relación con el primer aspecto, este constructo ha sido más fácil medirlo que definirlo, es un concepto extenso y ambiguo. En relación con la medición, uno de los problemas es el relacionado con las dificultades inherentes a su evaluación, debido a la naturaleza bipolar objetiva-subjetiva y su multidimensionalidad, compleja e indeterminada, y esto le da a la evaluación un problema adicional, aunado también que los instrumentos elaborados para tal fin, en ocasiones no cumplen los requisitos mínimos de construcción y generalización de resultados. La mayoría de las investigaciones concluyen que es muy importante la evaluación de la CVRS en el paciente pediátrico con cáncer, ya que la sola presencia de una enfermedad crónica desestabiliza la emocionalidad del paciente. Se concluye la importancia de la medida de CVRS en pacientes pediátricos, para uso en la práctica clínica y en la salud pública, considerar el proceso de crecimiento y desarrollo físico, cognitivo, intelectual y afectivo del niño/a ya que es continuo y representa un reto captar los aspectos positivos y los que afectan negativamente en la calidad de vida del paciente. The present article is focused towards the study of the art of quality of life from the area of the health, specifically taking in has them research made with children (as) and adolescents in cancer and its quality of life; for this is performed a review of them last ten years, after a tonnage bibliographic is considered approximately 80 articles for your review and discussion. In accordance the review focused on three aspects: to) conceptual elements related to quality of life (HP) and the quality of life related with health (HRQOL); b) the measurement of HRQOL in children and adolescents and c specifically) the different assessment instruments designed to measure HRQOL in children and adolescents. Regarding the first aspect, this construct has been easier to measure it to define it, is a lengthy and ambiguous concept. In relation to the measurement, one of the problems is related to the difficulties inherent in their assessment, due to the bipolar nature and its multidimensionality, complex and indeterminate, and this gives the assessment an additional problem, also joined that elaborate instruments for that purpose, sometimes do not meet the minimum requirements of construction and generalizability of results. The majority of the investigations conclude that assessment of HRQL in pediatric cancer patients is very important since the mere presence of a chronic disease disrupts the emotionality of the patient. Is concludes the importance of the measure of HRQOL in patients Pediatric, for use in the practice clinical and in the health public, consider the process of growth and development physical, cognitive, intellectual and affective of the child / to since is continuous and represents a challenge capture them aspects positive and which affect negatively in the quality of life of the patient.

In 1969 the Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP) of Cuba initiated a program to reduce infant mortality, one measure of the quality of life, in 1969. The program developed during the 1970s and while infant mortality was reduced, it became desirable to add other measures directly related to the health of the population to the program. Sampled periodically, characteristics of growth and the development, were selected as additional indicators of the health of the population.

INTRODUCTION Malignant neoplasms of the head and neck, due to its anatomical location, can cause significant alterations in vital functions related to feeding, communication and social interaction of the affected patients. Objective To analyze the quality of life of patients with advanced malignant neoplasms of the oral cavity and submitted to radical operations with curative intent. Material and methods 47 patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), in stages III and IV, underwent surgical treatment with segmental mandibulectomy and complementary radiotherapy. The patients were submitted to the quality of life questionnaires after a minimum time of six months after the surgical treatment. Results Of the 183 patients, only 47 (25.7%) were able to answer the questionnaire and were included as the sample of the study. The majority of patients selected were male (39; 82.9%). The mean age was 64.4 years. The majority of the patients presented clinical stage IV (83%) and were submitted to adjuvant radiotherapy (95.4%). The mean score obtained after the questionnaires were applied was 64.6. The worst scores were found in swallowing and chewing. Conclusion There were no statistically significant differences in the domains of quality of life between the two groups studied (with bone reconstruction versus no bone reconstruction). Patients interviewed 2 years or more after treatment presented higher scores (p = 0.02).

Aromatase inhibitor–induced musculoskeletal symptoms (AIMSS) were first recognized as a distinct entity in 2001, 5 years after the approval of the first aromatase inhibitor, anastrozole. Musculoskeletal symptoms can severely affect patients’ quality of life and also lead to premature discontinuation of aromatase inhibitor therapy. Several interventions for managing AIMSS have been investigated in the last decade, with some demonstrating promise. This article provides an evidence-based summary to guide practicing oncologists in regard to the epidemiology, prevention, and treatment of AIMSS.
