Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and the second leading cause of cancer-related death. Breast cancer manifestations in the head and neck are relatively rare, and they are mostly bony metastasis to the mandible and maxilla. In this paper, we present a case report of a metastatic tumor in the mandibular angle originating from breast carcinoma.

Overview of and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Infection Agents and their Biomolecular Mechanisms in Promoting Oral Cancer in Pediatric Patients.

Oral carcinoma represents one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) account over 90% of all oral malignant tumors and are characterized by high mortality in the advanced stages.

Efficacy of bioactivated anticalculus toothpaste on oral health: a single-blind, parallel-group clinical study.

Background: Current epidemiologic studies have confirmed the widespread presence of calculus in teenagers and adults of all ages. Among the multiple anticalculus strategies that have been proposed over the years inhibition of crystal growth has been the most attractive.

Cocaine-Induced Midline Destructive Lesions (CIMDL): A Real Challenge in Diagnosis.

The prolonged use of intranasal cocaine can destroy the nasal architecture with the erosion of the palate, turbinates, and ethmoid sinuses causing cocaine-induced midline lesions (CIMDL). The CIMDL display a clinical pattern mimicking variable diseases. The aim of this study was to highlight the difficulties in reaching a correct diagnosis through the evaluation of eight new cases.
