The profile of chronic hyperplastic candidiasis: a clinico-pathological study.

The aims of this study were investigation of clinical presentation, systemic factors, and long-term malignant transformation rate in chronic hyperplastic candidiasis versus leukoplakia. This is a retrospective case-controlled study of cases with chronic hyperplastic candidiasis and leukoplakia without dysplasia, diagnosed between 2000 and 2013. A database was created, and all additional biopsies from the same cases were searched up to 2022, for records of oral malignant transformation.

Factors affecting the decision to rehabilitate the posterior maxilla following surgical closure of oroantral communications/fistulae - A cohort study.

Background: Search of the English literature yielded no studies assessing the chosen dental treatment following surgical closure of oroantral communication/oroantral fistula (OAC/OAF). The purpose of the present study was to assess factors affecting the decision to rehabilitate the posterior maxilla following surgical closure of OAC/OAF.

Methods: Consecutive patients at a single center.

Oral Solitary Fibrous Tumor: A Retrospective Clinico-Pathological Study and Long-Term Follow-Up.

This was a retrospective single-center study to analyze and describe the clinical and histological features of all cases of oral solitary fibrous tumor (SFT). Study design: the study included all consecutive cases of oral SFT diagnosed between 2008-2018 at a single tertiary center. Clinical data was retrieved from medical charts.

The unique characteristics of sialolithiasis following drug-induced hyposalivation.

Objectives: Assess clinical, imaging, operative, and post-operative characteristics of drug-induced vs. non-drug-induced sialolithiasis that are termed 'other etiologies of sialolithiasis.'

Materials And Methods: Data collected from a retrospective cohort of 96 patients who underwent intra-oral sialolith removal operations were categorized as patient disease characteristics, physical examination results, and imaging and therapeutic features.

Is inferior meatal antrostomy still relevant? A 12-year analysis of 93 oroantral fistulae closure with concomitant Caldwell-Luc operations.

Objective: The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate clinical outcomes after closure of oroantral fistulae with concomitant Caldwell-Luc operations (OFCLOs) with or without inferior meatal antrostomy (IMA).

Study Design: Records from consecutive OFCLOs carried out over a 12-year period at the oral and maxillofacial surgery department at a single medical center were reviewed. Background data included age, sex, medical status, indications, and etiologies.

Clinical and radiological characteristics of oro-antral communications/fistulae due to implant dentistry procedures: A cross-sectional retrospective study.

Objectives: Assess the unique clinical and radiological sequelae following oro-antral communications/fistulae (OAC/OAF) due to implant dentistry vs other etiologies.

Materials And Methods: A structured form served to collect data from medical records. All consecutive patients who underwent surgical closure of OACs/OAFs between 2003 and 2020, at a single center were included.

Sialolithiasis-Do Early Diagnosis and Removal Minimize Post-Operative Morbidity?

Sialolithiasis is an inflammation of a salivary gland due to obstruction of salivary flow by a sialolith. We aim to assess potential factors that may predict lower morbidity following endoscopically assisted per-oral sialolith removal. Retrospective cohort study.

Evaluation of Surgical Treatment of Oroantral Fistulae in Smokers Versus Non-Smokers.

: Smoking has been found to interfere with wound healing processes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare surgical treatment of oroantral fistulae (OAFs) in smokers and non-smokers. Medical records of all consecutive patients who underwent surgical closure of OAFs between 2003 and 2016 at the oral and maxillofacial surgery department, Rabin Medical Center, Israel were reviewed.

An unusual disordered alveolar bone material in the upper furcation region of minipig mandibles: A 3D hierarchical structural study.

Teeth are subjected to compressive loads during mastication. Under small loads the soft tissue periodontal ligament (PDL) deforms most. However when the loads increase and the PDL is highly compressed, the tooth and the alveolar bone supporting the tooth, begin to deform.

Response of the tooth-periodontal ligament-bone complex to load: A microCT study of the minipig molar.

One strategy evolved by teeth to avoid irreversible damage is to move and deform under the loads incurred during mastication. A key component in this regard is the periodontal ligament (PDL). The role of the bone underlying the PDL is less well defined.

Inter-trabecular angle: A parameter of trabecular bone architecture in the human proximal femur that reveals underlying topological motifs.

Unlabelled: Trabecular bone is an intricate 3D network of struts and plates. Although the structure-function relations in trabecular bone have been studied since the time of Julius Wolff, controversy still exists regarding the architectural parameters responsible for its stability and resilience. We present a parameter that measures the angle between two connected trabeculae - the Inter-Trabecular Angle (ITA).
