| Abstract: |
The purpose of this study was to examine the topographic distribution of Helicobacter pylori on oral mucosa in various oral lesions such as inflammation, oral ulceration, keratosis, candidiasis and burning mouth syndrome in comparison with healthy oral mucosa.We applied nested PCR on cytologic specimens collected from 9 topographic sites of the healthy oral mucosa and from various oral lesions.Of a total 426 patients 66 (15.49 %) were positive for H. pylori,with no predilection for sex but with higher frequency in older patients, and with almost equal distribution on all examined topographic sites of the oral mucosa. H. pylori was detected in all examined diseases, except in candidiasis, with prevalence on tongue mucosa and inulcerous lesions although without significant differences between lesions and healthy oral mucosa (p = 0.059).H.pylori is non-pathogenic for oral mucosa since it colonizes almost with the same frequency healthy and diseased oral mucosa. There is no preferential oral site or lesion for colonization of H. pylori. |
