Cyanoacrylate versus suture as flap closure methods in mandibular third molar surgery: a split-mouth randomized controlled clinical study.

Background: Sutures have been the standard flap closure method of choice following mandibular third molar surgery but can lead to some complications. Tissue adhesives, including cyanoacrylate, have emerged as alternative flap closure method in this surgery to overcome such drawbacks. However, limited clinical trials can be found.

Is it possible to predict neurosensory alterations in impacted lower third molar removal based on preoperative imaging procedures? A prospective cohort study.

Background: Surgical extraction of the lower third molar (LTM) may trigger neurosensory injury of the inferior alveolar nerve, making extraction a real challenge. This study set out to assess whether is it possible to predict neurosensory alterations from preoperative imaging.

Material And Methods: A total of 99 patients underwent 124 impacted lower third molar (ILTM) surgeries.

Medication related to pigmentation of oral mucosa.

Background: The diagnosis of oral melanotic lesions is, more often than not, challenging in the clinical practice due to the fact that there are several reasons which may cause an increase in pigmentation on localized or generalized areas. Among these, medication stands out.

Material And Methods: In this work, we have carried out a review in the reference pharma database: Micromedex® followed by a review of the scientific published literature to analyse coincidences and possible discrepancies.

Autotransplantation of teeth with incomplete root formation: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: To determine the survival of intentional autotransplantation of developing teeth.

Material And Methods: An electronic search was carried out in the MEDLINE database, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. The criteria used are the ones described in the PRISMA Declaration.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis: literature review and descriptive analysis of oral manifestations.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease, of unknown pathogenesis, characterized by intense and abnormal proliferation of bone marrow-derived histiocytes (Langerhans cells). It can present both local and systemic manifestations involving bone, skin and mucosal tissue, and internal organs. Three basic clinical forms develop: Letterer-Siwe disease (subacute or acute disseminated form), Hand-Schüller-Christian disease (disseminated chronic form) and eosinophilic granuloma (localized chronic form).
