  Prognostic biomarkers in oral leukoplakia

  Abstract I would like to make some comments on the systematic review recently published in Oral Diseases (Villa et al., 2019) on prognostic biomarkers in oral leukoplakia. I consider this an important subject as oral medicine specialists are keen to understand the role of biomarkers in stratifying the risk of oral leukoplakia and to reinvigorate future research.

• Dimensional changes of buccal bone plate in immediate implants inserted through open flap, open flap and bone grafting, and flapless technique. A CBCT randomized controlled clinical trial

  Abstract Objectives To assess through Cone‐beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) buccal alveolar bone alterations after immediate implant placement using the following techniques: open flap and grafting (flap‐graft), open flap and no grafting (flap‐nograft), flapless and no grafting (noflap‐nograft). Materials and methods This was a three‐armed parallel group randomized clinical trial with allocation ratio 1:1:1. Patients were eligible in cas

• A complete physical mapping of the VDR gene for dental implant loss: a pilot study

  Abstract Objectives The aim of this pilot case‐control study was to investigate the association of clinical variables and genetic polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) with dental implant loss. Material and Methods This study was carried out with 244 individuals with mean age 51.90 ± 11.28 (81 cases and 163 controls matched by age, sex and smoking habit). Also, the clusterization phenomenon was investigated stratifying the

• Maternal alcohol consumption and oral clefts: a meta-analysis

  Our aim was to evaluate the possible correlation between maternal alcohol consumption during the first trimester and the risk of having an offspring with non-syndromic oral cleft. We electronically searched all published papers from 1950 to 2019 about maternal alcohol consumption and oral clefts in PubMed, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) databases. Descriptive and qu

• Metastatic epithelioid haemangioendothelioma masquerading as periodontal pathosis: a case report

  We present a non-healing lesion on the gingivae attached to the mandible that mimicked periodontal disease, and was refractory to local debridement and oral hygiene measures. Biopsy examination showed a metastatic epithelioid haemangioendothelioma. This rare vascular tumour is considered to be malignant and management is controversial, owing to the paucity of published data. Treatment was provided in a multi-disciplinary setting as a result of es

• Use of a suction tube to prevent nasal pressure sores during nasotracheal intubation

  Nasotracheal intubation is commonly used in head and neck surgery. While the most common complication is epistaxis, alar pressure sores from the prolonged compression of the tube on the alar rim can cause considerable discomfort.1 The risk increases with the duration of the anaesthesia, the patient being male, and other factors such as permissive hypotension during midface procedures.2

• Stress overload‐induced periodontal remodelling coupled with changes in high mobility group protein B1 during tooth movement: an in‐vivo study

  High mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1), a bone‐active cytokine and an osteocyte alarmin, might have dual functions in bone metabolism that could benefit bone formation and accelerate osteoclastogenic activity. High mobility group protein B1 was recently shown to be involved in tooth movement. Here, we investigated the expression of HMGB1, which remains poorly elucidated, under stress overload‐induced periodontal remodelling conditions in vivo. Th

• Novel Frameshift Mutations in DSPP Cause Dentin Dysplasia Type II

  Abstract The current classification system of hereditary dentin defects was proposed in 1973 (Shields et al., 1973) based on clinical and radiographic information without knowledge of the underlying molecular pathophysiology: three types of dentinogenesis imperfecta (DGI‐I, DGI‐II, and DGI‐III) and 2 types of dentin dysplasia (DD‐I and DD‐II).
