: The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the clinical efficacy, benefits, and limitations of piezosurgery in tooth extractions compared to conventional methods. Piezosurgery has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative, promoting better preservation of soft tissues and bone structures. Understanding its impact on postoperative outcomes such as pain, swelling, trismus, and bone healing is critical for its application in oral surgery; We restricted our search to English-language articles published between 1 January 2004 and 28 August 2024, in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored the connection between Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and salivary gland tumors, which remains unclear in existing literature.
- The research involved 66 salivary gland lesions, using fine needle aspiration cytology to detect HPV-DNA, resulting in HPV found in two cysts and three metastatic carcinomas, but none in primary tumors.
- Ultimately, the study concluded that HPV did not play a role in primary salivary gland tumors, but its presence in intraglandular cysts suggests a new area for further investigation.*
Article Synopsis
- The study looked at issues in the mouth and throat caused by drugs and vaccines in Italy from 2019 to 2021.
- Out of over 67,000 cases, about 2,773 had throat problems, mostly in adult females, and most were not serious.
- The findings showed that many problems related to drugs were reported more often than those from vaccines, and there is a need for better reporting and training for health care workers.
Article Synopsis
- This study looks at a new way to fix scalp problems after surgery for skin cancer, which can be tough due to the scalp's unique structure.
- Researchers analyzed patients treated with a special skin template and grafting between January 2020 and October 2023.
- The results showed that most patients healed well and could start other cancer treatments quickly, making this method a good choice for scalp surgery.
Objective: Tissue-resident memory cells (Trm) are a subset of T cells residing persistently and long-term within specific tissues that contribute to persistent inflammation and tissue damage. We characterised the phenotype and function of Trm and the role of CD103 in primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS).
Methods: In both pSS and non-pSS sicca syndrome patients, we examined Trm frequency, cytokine production in salivary glands (SG) and peripheral blood (PB).
