Exfoliative cytology has proven to be a valuable diagnostic tool in the early detection of malignant neoplasms. However, its application in the oral cavity has been met with skepticism and limited investigation due to the perception that clinical examination alone is sufficient for early diagnosis. Nonetheless, recent research efforts have focused on the utility of exfoliative cytology in oral cavity neoplasms, motivated by the high mortality rate associated with oral cancer.

Here, for the first time, the PI technique, which has been shown to be successful in maintaining intact cortical bone, is examined in the context of a bone defect. : After an atraumatic extraction of a damaged tooth, a vestibular bone fenestration was discovered in the 62-year-old male patient.

- - The study examined the relationship between dental anxiety in children and their ABO blood group, considering the potential genetic influence on personality traits related to anxiety.
- - Eighty children participated, with their blood group information obtained from parents, and their dental anxiety was assessed using a specific scale and pulse oximeter.
- - Results showed no significant correlation between dental anxiety levels and ABO blood types, suggesting that blood group does not predict anxiety in pediatric dental settings.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to examine the connection between sleep bruxism (unconscious teeth grinding) and factors like sleep quality, stress, and dental health in children aged 6-12.
- - A total of 384 children participated, with parents providing reports on bruxism, sleep quality, and stress levels; certain children were excluded based on health conditions or lack of consent.
- - Results indicated that sleep bruxism in children is significantly related to poor sleep quality and higher stress levels, suggesting it may impact their overall dental health.

Background: A pyogenic granuloma (PG) represents a swiftly proliferating benign vascular tumor situated in the skin or subcutaneous tissue, commonly observed as a reactive lesion in the orofacial area. This research intended to scrutinize the clinicopathological characteristics of pyogenic granulomas in the oral and maxillofacial region.
Methods: Seventy two participants, comprising 24 men (33%) and 48 women (67%), underwent surgical ablation of pyogenic granuloma in oral and maxillofacial regions utilizing 940nm and 980nm diode lasers.
