Use of carbon dioxide laser in lingual frenectomy.

We prospectively studied 21 cases of attachment of the lingual frenulum treated with laser excision, and report the results of a questionnaire survey of patients in the immediate postoperative phase.

Squamous cell carcinoma presenting as peri-implantitis: a case report.

Dental implants have proved to be a useful adjunct in the rehabilitation of oral cancer patients. We describe the case of a 62-year-old woman who presented with a white patch in the oral cavity, diagnosed to be a squamous cell carcinoma. She underwent extensive surgery including microvascular reconstruction, followed by implant rehabilitation.

Does administration of isosorbide mononitrate affect cellular proliferation in oral squamous cell carcinoma? A prospective randomized clinical study.

Purpose: There has been much interest in the role that the signaling molecule nitric oxide (NO) plays in cancer. NO has both tumor-promoting and tumor-inhibiting effects that are dependent on its local tissue concentration. In animal studies, the administration of exogenous NO has reduced both tumor growth and dissemination, and in vitro NO administration causes death of oral cancer cell lines.
