Given the posited role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of both periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), it may also serve as a link between these highly prevalent chronic inflammatory diseases. This view is supported by an ample body of evidence indicating that the severity and progression of periodontitis is in part driven by diabetes, while periodontal infection may hinder the attainment of adequate glycemic control in diabetic patients. Thus, this review focuses on the potential synergistic interactions along the oxidative stress-inflammation pathway characterizing both conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze the characteristics and risk factors of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) across various European Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery centers, to enhance understanding of its epidemiology and treatment trends.
  • Data was collected from 537 patients, revealing significant links between metastatic bone disease, advanced MRONJ stages, male gender, and higher recurrence rates of MRONJ.
  • Findings suggest that patients with osteoporosis experienced a longer duration of antiresorptive medication before MRONJ onset, while those with metastatic bone cancer, especially prostate cancer or multiple myeloma, had a shorter duration, emphasizing the importance of surgical intervention in managing MRONJ.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the risk of postoperative bleeding in patients undergoing dentoalveolar surgery while on direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) or vitamin K antagonists (VKA), compared to non-anticoagulated subjects.
  • Three groups were analyzed: 77 patients on DOAC, 103 on VKA, and 103 controls, with bleeding incidents recorded as 2.9%, 4.8%, and 0.97% respectively, showing no significant differences.
  • The findings concluded that neither DOAC nor VKA increased the risk of significant postoperative bleeding, allowing safe surgical procedures without the need to stop anticoagulant therapy.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the eighth most common type of cancer in the world. Knowledge of prognostic factors of survival in OSCC is key. Several clinical and pathological prognostic factors have been investigated to develop a prognostic model of survival for patients with oral cancer.

As oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus and periodontitis, it may serve as a link between these conditions. Therefore, as a part of the present study, salivary lipid peroxidation (LP) in periodontitis patients with and without diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) was evaluated, along with the periodontal therapy effectiveness. The study sample comprised of 71 DM2 patients with periodontitis and 31 systemically healthy controls suffering from periodontitis of comparable severity.

Inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) showed remarkable clinical efficacy in BRCA-mutated tumors. Based on the rational drug design, derivatives of PARP inhibitor 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB), 2-amino-4-methylbenzamide (L1) and 3-amino-N-methylbenzamide (L2), were coordinated to the ruthenium(II) ion, to form potential drugs affecting DNA and inhibiting PARP enzyme. The four conjugated complexes of formula: C1 [(ƞ-toluene)Ru(L1)Cl]PF, C2 [(ƞ-p-cymene)Ru(L1)Cl]PF, C3 [(ƞ-toluene)Ru(L2)Cl] and C4 [(ƞ-p-cymene)Ru(L2)Cl], have been synthesized and characterized.

Introduction: An autologous bone (bone derived from the patient himself) is considered to be a "golden standard" in the treatment of bone defects and partial atrophic alveolar ridge. However, large defects and bone losses are difficult to restore in this manner, because extraction of large amounts of autologous tissue can cause donor-site problems. Alternatively, data from computed tomographic (CT) scan can be used to shape a precise 3D homologous bone block using a computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) system.

Background/aim: Patients receiving long-term oral anticoagulant therapy pose a clinical challenge during invasive dental procedures. The goal of this study was to compare different local hemostatic modalities after tooth extraction in patients receiving chronic Vitamin-K antagonist therapy.

Methods: Totally 90 patients with International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤ 3.

Introduction: Growth factors are mediators regulating the key processes of tissue regeneration, including cell proliferation and differentiation, extracellular matrix synthesis, chemotaxis and angiogenesis. In addition to the role they play in haemostasis and inflammatory processes, thrombocytes are of major importance in the reparation of mineralized and soft tissues. Application of fibrin rich blocks with concentrated growth factors is one of the latest approaches to guided bone regeneration and augmentation of lost bony structures of the alveolar ridge.

Unlabelled: INTRODUCTION. The role of the total lower denture is not only to replace the missing teeth but also to provide the substitute for a range of supporting tissues which have diminished due to the process of resorption, to re-establish the original relations in the region ofjaw complex, to support the surrounding soft tissues which have lost their natural support, and, moreover, to be unobtrusive and discrete substitution of lost functions. Application of Mini-dental Implants.

Introduction: The preliminary diagnosis of chronic periapical lesions is made on the basis of clinical symptoms and radiographs, which is a reliable diagnostic tool, but it has only a subsidiary role since histopathological verification is essential for the definitive diagnosis. This study was aimed at diagnosing removed chronic periapical lesions and classifying them by size as well as at comparing the clinical diagnoses with histipathological results.

Material And Methods: The study included 34 patients diagnosed with chronic periapical process by applying clinical examination and radiography.

Introduction: Therapy of impacted teeth is undoubtedly one of the most intriguing issues for the experts in the field of dentistry. General dental practitioners, as well as specialists in the field of pediatric dentistry, periodontology, orthodontics and particularly oral and maxillofacial surgery have been facing this challenge throughout past several years. Each of these experts can contribute to solving this problem; however, each of them alone can solve only a limited number of cases.
