Objectives: Oroantral communication (OAC) is a relatively common and mild complication of maxillary tooth extractions. Preoperative prediction of OAC can reduce treatment duration and prepare both operators and patients for the procedure. This study aims to identify alarming radiographic and clinical indicators that can predict OAC therefore assisting clinical decision making to practicing general dentists.

By contrast, unbridled production of oxidants is associated with pathological WAT expansion and the establishment of metabolic dysfunctions, most notably insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. NADPH oxidases (NOXs) produce oxidants in an orderly fashion and are present in adipocytes and in other diverse WAT-constituent cell types.

Dental anomalies are present in approximately 30%-70% of patients with Gardner syndrome and can be discovered during routine dental examinations.

- - The study evaluated the knowledge of Hungarian schoolteachers on managing dental trauma in children aged 3 to 18, using a questionnaire distributed to 2720 educational institutions.
- - Results showed that while many teachers had witnessed dental traumas, a high percentage felt unprepared to manage these situations; however, they did perform better on questions about referral urgency and treatment for avulsed teeth.
- - After providing targeted educational materials, a follow-up survey indicated a significant improvement in teachers' knowledge, demonstrating that online education can effectively enhance their understanding of dental trauma management.
Aim: To investigate the prevalence, duration, and severity of non-pain-related complaints after dental treatment under general anaesthesia (DTGA) and to identify correlating factors from patient's characteristics and treatment.
Methods: Parents/caregivers of children treated under general anaesthesia were asked to fill in a dichotomous questionnaire during hospitalisation and the postoperative week. Several complaints were evaluated in relation to factors associated with dental treatment and general anaesthesia.
