Background: The main goal of the nasoalveolar molding (NAM) is to mitigate the initial severity of the cleft, facilitating the subsequent surgical procedures. Nevertheless, the use of the appliance entails high stress levels for families.
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the perceptions, attitudes, and opinions of parents whose cleft-affected children underwent treatment using the NAM technique.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how different characteristics of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can predict their response to mandibular advancement devices (MAD) and aims to create a model for treatment efficacy.
- It analyzed 112 patients over six years, categorizing OSA into different phenotypes, with findings indicating that positional-OSA patients had a significantly higher response rate to MAD compared to non-positional patients.
- The results suggest that specific phenotypes, particularly REM-OSA, are less responsive to MAD treatment, highlighting key metrics like hypoxic burden and T90% that are useful in predicting treatment success in OSA patients.
Background: Orthodontic appliances contain Bisphenol A and are controversial due to its potential risks for human health. Thus, the aim of the present research was to identify the presence of Bisphenol A in the saliva of patients wearing orthodontic appliances.
Material And Methods: A systematic search of the literature was conducted in four electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science) and a manual search of grey literature.
This systematic review aims to investigate the microbial basis underlying the association between oral microbiota and colorectal cancer. A comprehensive search was conducted across four databases, encompassing potentially relevant studies published up to April 2024 related to the PECO question: "Is there a differentiation in oral microbial composition between adult patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer compared to healthy patients?". The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate the quality of the studies included.

A shortened frenulum may contribute to abnormal orofacial development, leading to increased upper airway resistance and susceptibility to upper airway collapsibility during sleep. Recognizing early indicators, such as a short lingual frenulum, is crucial for prompt intervention.
