To investigate the association of NANOG polymorphisms with oral leukoplakia. In this case-control study, 68 cases of oral leukoplakia, and 21 of normal oral mucosa (control) were submitted to genotyping of tagSNPs polymorphisms: rs877716 and rs10845877 in NANOG, through real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Pearson's chi-squared and Fisher's exact statistical tests were used, with a significance of 5%.

Unlabelled: The prevalence of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) in patients with (dentofacial deformities) DFD is high, indicating a multifaceted relationship between physical and psychosocial factors.
Objective: To identify clusters of patients with DFD based on variables related to TMD, psychological aspects, somatization, oral habits, and sleep.
Method: Ninety-two patients with DFD were evaluated before orthognathic surgery according to demographic data, facial profile, presence of painful TMD (DC/TMD), psychological aspects, oral habits, comorbidities, substance use, and sleep quality.

Purpose: To investigate the association of SOX2 polymorphisms with oral leukoplakia with dysplasia (OLD) and compare it with the immunohistochemical expression of SOX-2.
Methods: The samples comprised 64 patients with oral leukoplakia and 20 with normal oral mucosa who were subjected to SOX2 polymorphism rs77677339 genotyping by real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry for SOX-2 (basal epithelium expression, suprabasal and total; nuclear area and intensity). Statistical tests included the Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess how effective a gel with active oxygen is in preventing Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) in a rat model.
- - Twelve rats underwent surgery after receiving a drug (zoledronate) known to cause osteonecrosis and were divided into two groups: one treated with oxygen gel and the other left untreated.
- - Results showed that the untreated group had more severe MRONJ symptoms, suggesting that the gel may help in preventing this condition, although further research is needed due to the pilot nature of the study.
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether polymorphisms in SOD2 and SOD3 genes modulate the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of Para athletes with dental caries experience. The cross-sectional study included 264 Para athletes (143 in athletics, 61 in weightlifting and 60 in swimming). A trained and calibrated team recorded the decayed, missing and filled teeth index (DMFT).
