The limitation of markers for chronic oral diseases such as oral lichen planus (OLP) and burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a diagnostic challenge for clinicians. The pathogenesis of OLP and BMS is not yet fully understood. Therefore, diagnoses are mainly based on the observation of clinical features and history, rather than established markers. C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) are used to determine the state of inflammation; however, these markers have some limitations. Recently, a new inflammatory marker, pentraxin-3 (PTX3), has been identified in other systemic inflammatory diseases. PTX3 is a member of the pentraxin family and is classified as a long pentraxin. PTX3 is found in various human tissues, whereas the classical short pentraxin, CRP, is secreted only in the liver. PTX3 is a marker of autoimmune diseases and periodontitis. However, there are no studies on PTX3 in OLP and BMS; therefore, we sought to determine if PTX3 can be a diagnostic marker for OLP and BMS. PTX3 was found to be correlated with other inflammatory markers, suggesting its diagnostic value for inflammatory oral diseases. We also found that the PTX3 levels were lower in patients with OLP and BMS. ESR levels were elevated in the OLP and BMS groups, but CRP levels were not. Despite these associations, no correlation was found between PTX3 expression and other known clinical features of OLP and BMS. We suggest that PTX3 plays a role in the immunological and neurological pathways involved in the complex pathogenesis of OLP and BMS.

Cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) is classified as a fibro-osseous lesion and usually presents as a progressively growing lesion that can reach a large size if left untreated. Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a non-neoplastic development that affects the craniofacial bones and is characterized by painless hypertrophy due to the replacement of bone by abnormal fibrous tissue. Herein, a case of concurrent occurrence of COF and FD involving the right mandible is described in a 14-year-old male patient. In this review, the current knowledge of FD and COF is summarized, emphasizing the importance of integrating the understanding of clinical, radiographic, and histopathological features. In addition, the relevant aspects associated with differential diagnosis and patient care are evaluated.
