A bibliometric and visualized in oral microbiota and cancer research from 2013 to 2022.

Numerous studies have highlighted the implication of oral microbiota in various cancers. However, no bibliometric analysis has been conducted on the relationship between oral microbiota and cancer. This bibliometric analysis aimed to identify the research hotspots in oral microbiota and cancer research, as well as predict future research trends.

Knockdown of PGC1α suppresses dysplastic oral keratinocytes proliferation through reprogramming energy metabolism.

Oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) are precursors of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Deregulated cellular energy metabolism is a critical hallmark of cancer cells. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC1α) plays vital role in mitochondrial energy metabolism.

Investigation of oral health knowledge and attitudes towards oral health education among elementary school teachers in Zunyi.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the oral health knowledge of elementary school teachers and assess their attitude towards oral health education in Zunyi.

Methods: A total of 636 teachers from 10 primary schools in Zunyi were selected by stratified sampling, and their general information, oral health care habits, results of oral health knowledge questionnaire, and attitude towards oral health and oral health education were investigated. Data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 21.

Effect of audiovisual distraction on the management of dental anxiety in children: A systematic review.

Background: Audiovisual distraction, a non-pharmacological intervention, has been used to manage dental anxiety in prior clinical trials.

Aim: Synthesize the available evidences to evaluate the efficacy of audiovisual distraction techniques on the management of dental anxiety in children.

Design: Electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Embase) were searched.

Evaluating oral epithelial dysplasia classification system by near-infrared Raman spectroscopy.

Until now, the classification system of oral epithelial dysplasia is still based on the architectural and cytological changes, which relies on the observation of pathologists and is relatively subjective. The purpose of present research was to discriminate the oral dysplasia by the near-infrared Raman spectroscope, in order to evaluate the classification system. We collected Raman spectra of normal mucosa, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and dysplasia by near-infrared Raman spectroscope.
