Article Synopsis
- Lower third molar extraction is a common dental surgery, and while the procedures are routine, their difficulty and associated complications can vary based on individual patient factors.
- A study involving 1,826 extractions in Japan found that the overall prevalence of postoperative complications was 10.0%.
- Key risk factors for complications included older age (over 32 years), radiographic relationships of tooth roots with the mandibular canal, and the depth of tooth impaction, indicating that older patients with deeply impacted teeth may face higher risks after surgery.
A close causal relationship has been suggested to exist between cancer and periodontitis. We hypothesized that the immune surveillance system is impaired in patients with periodontitis, which contributes to cancer development and growth. Therefore, the present study investigated the relationship between immune surveillance mechanisms and periodontitis in cancer patients.

Background/purpose: The clinical significance of minor risk factors remins uncertain in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical impact of minor risk factors in OSCC patients.
Background: A relationship has been proposed between increases in oral Candida concentrations and host immunity. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between oral Candida mannan concentrations and symptoms/signs of ill health and the immune status and also to examine whether health/the immune status may be evaluated based on oral Candida mannan concentrations.
Patients And Methods: The health conditions of 25 healthy individuals and 10 cancer patients receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy were assessed using a questionnaire and oral rinse solutions collected on consecutive days.
