Background/Objectives: Oral lesions can present with a wide range of clinical appearances, often making diagnosis challenging, particularly for dental students. This study aimed to identify the most common oral lesions treated at a teaching dental cl...

Peri-implantitis is marked by ongoing bone loss and soft tissue inflammation surrounding dental implants. Due to its ability to intensify tissue healing and its compatibility with the body, hyaluronic acid (HA) has appeared as a viable biomaterial fo...

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder characterized by hyperandrogenism, irregular ovulation, and polycystic ovarian morphology. The severity of periodontal inflammation in PCOS may be linked to elevated levels of infl...

All forms of life on Earth are dependent on microbes. In vertebrates, the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract are colonized by large numbers of microorganisms, which includes species from many life forms: bacteria, fungi, archaea, and protozoa...

Background/Objectives: Emotional fear memories are increasingly recognized as contributors to the development of specific fears and phobias. Despite this, relatively little dental fear research has specifically focused on patient memories or their po...

Background: Periodontal disease is a common chronic inflammatory disease affecting the oral cavity involving the tissues supporting teeth. It is a significant oral health concern worldwide, particularly amongst individuals living with human immunodef...

Background: Mandibular advancement devices (MADs) are considered an effective therapeutic option for managing obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in adults. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with a range of comorbidities, notably cardio...

Background: Obesity and periodontitis are two chronic inflammatory diseases with a bidirectional relationship possibly mediated by microbial and immunologic signaling pathways. This narrative review aims to investigate how microbial dysbiosis and inf...

Background: The purpose of alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) is to minimise the physiological alveolar ridge reduction occurring after dental extraction, which can prevent the need for future alveolar ridge augmentation. Biologic materials (biologics...

Background/Objectives: Brown tumors are bone manifestations of hyperparathyroidism, and they are characterized by histologic similarities with Central Giant Cell Granuloma (CGCG). Their diagnosis requires clinical, microscopic, macroscopic, and serol...

Background: Newborns with Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS) usually show varying degrees of upper airway obstruction and difficulty feeding due to severe micrognatia. Mandibular distraction osteogenesis has become popular as an alternative treatment option...
