Late Presentation of Oral Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease Manifesting As Hyperkeratotic Plaque: A Case Report.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only curative intervention for myelodysplastic syndrome, with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) being a frequently encountered consequence. GVHD is classified as acute (aGVHD) or chronic (cGVHD). The oral cavity is the most impacted by chronic.

Morphea Involving the Lips and Gingiva: A Rare Case Report.

Morphea is a subtype of scleroderma that does not involve Raynaud's phenomenon or internal organ involvement. It is a connective tissue disease that features the excessive deposition of collagen in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, leading to a thickening of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, eventually forming a scar-like lesion. We represent a 19-year-old male Saudi patient displaying a white patch on the marginal gingiva of tooth #21 and multiple yellowish papules on the outer surface of the lip.

The Role of the Lateral Pterygoid Muscle in Articular Disc Displacement: A Cross-sectional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study.

Objective: The objective of the study is to determine the role of Lateral Pterygoid Muscle LPM in the articular disc displacement ADD, which is considered controversial due to the variations in the pattern of insertion of the Superior Lateral Pterygoid Muscle SPLM.

Background: It is well understood that the superior head of the lateral pterygoid muscle has only a single insertion pattern among individuals, in which the muscle is attached to the articular disc and capsule. However, recent findings in many studies have shown a noticeable variation in the insertion pattern of the upper LPM.

Survival of Titanium-Zirconium and Titanium Dental Implants in Cigarette-smokers and Never-smokers: A 5-Year Follow-up.

Objective: To compare the peri-implant clinical and radiographic status around bone-level narrow-diameter titanium-zirconium (TiZr) implants and titanium (Ti) implants placed in cigarette-smokers (CS) and never-smokers (NS).

Methods: Partially edentulous CS and NS rehabilitated with TiZr and Ti implants were included. Demographic data and information regarding smoking habits were collected.

Comparison of yeast species in the subgingival oral biofilm of individuals with type 2 diabetes and peri-implantitis and individuals with peri-implantitis without diabetes.

Background: There are no studies that have investigated the presence of yeasts in the subgingival oral biofilm (OB) of type-2 diabetic and non-diabetic patients with peri-implantitis. The aim was to assess the presence of yeasts in the subgingival OB of patients with type 2 diabetes and peri-implantitis and patients with peri-implantitis without diabetes.

Methods: Patients with type 2 diabetes with peri-implantitis (group A), non-diabetic individuals with peri-implantitis and without diabetes (group B), and individuals with and without peri-implantitis (group C) were included.

Clinical, radiographic, and restorative peri-implant measurements of narrow and standard diameter implants in obese and nonobese patients: A 3-year retrospective follow-up study.

Background: There is dearth of studies assessing clinical, restorative, and radiographic peri-implant outcomes around narrow diameter implants (NDIs) and standard diameter implants (SDIs) in obese and nonobese subjects.

Objective: To assess clinical, restorative, and radiographic parameters of NDIs and SDIs placed in obese and nonobese individuals.

Materials And Methods: Obese and nonobese patients requiring NDIs and SDIs in the anterior maxilla/mandible were included.

Cytokeratin 19 Immunostain Reduces Variability in Grading Epithelial Dysplasia of the Non-Keratinized Upper Aerodigestive Tract Mucosa.

Epithelial dysplasia (ED) grading systems are criticized for low reliability. The effects of diagnostic tests or stains on reducing examiner variability in grading ED of the upper aerodigestive tract have not been investigated. The study aim was to examine the effectiveness of cytokeratin 19 (K19) immunostain on enhancing inter and intraexaminer reliability of ED grading and to reiterate the relation of K19 positivity with epithelial keratinization.

Clinical and radiographic indices around narrow diameter implants placed in different glycemic-level patients.

Background: Studies assessing peri-implant clinical and marginal bone resorption (MBR) around narrow diameter implants (NDIs) placed in different glycemic levels are uninvestigated.

Objective: The present 3-year retrospective follow-up investigation was designed to explore clinical and radiographic status of NDIs placed in individuals with different glycemic control levels.

Materials And Methods: Patients with serum hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels ≥6.

Presence of Candida species in the subgingival oral biofilm of patients with peri-implantitis.

Background: There are no studies that have investigated the presence of Candida species in the subgingival oral biofilm (OB) of patients with peri-implantitis.

Purpose: The aim was to assess the presence of Candida species in the subgingival OB of patients with peri-implantitis.

Materials And Methods: Individuals with (group A) and without (group B) peri-implantitis were included.
