Background: Xerostomia, or dry mouth, can be a temporary or persistent symptom resulting from various factors, such as medication use, therapeutic radiation, chemotherapy, autoimmune conditions (e.g., Sjögren's syndrome), and hormonal imbalances.

Eleven volunteers were assessed by two examiners, one experienced and one inexperienced, who performed direct caliper measurements and indirect measurements using the scanner. Results indicated minimal differences between caliper and scanner results, with overall high accuracy and reliability demonstrated by correlation coefficients.

Materials And Methods: DentiGen Parodontitis Tests were applied for collecting samples. This test is suitable for sampling oral mucosa cells in order to detect interleukins 1A and 1B single nucleotide polymorphisms (IL-1A-889, IL-1B+3953).

The composition of honey is mostly determined by the species-specific characteristics of flowering plants, which is reflected in the significant deviations in composition of honey varieties. The high-quality acacia honey is assessed based on both physical-chemical parameters and melissopalynology. The appearance of rape pollen in acacia honey makes the acacia honey be sorted into the multifloral honey category.

Background: The size of dental implants is a key success factor for appropriate osseointegration. Using shorter implants allows the possibility of avoiding complex surgical procedures and reduces the morbidity of treatment. Shorter implants also enable implant-prosthetic rehabilitation after maxillofacial reconstructions where only limited bone is available.

Objective: The objective of this study was to develop and modify a relatively simple preventive procedure, adjusted to the mental capabilities of the patients, and implement it within a selected group.
Background: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a type of jawbone necrosis caused by the use of drugs for some types of cancer and osteoporosis. The current study aimed to evaluate the associations between hyperglycemia and the development of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.
Methods: Our research group investigated data collected between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2020.
Our research group developed a novel nano-pitted (NP) TiO surface on grade 2 titanium that showed good mechanical, osteogenic, and antibacterial properties; however, it showed weak hydrophilicity. Our objective was to develop a surface treatment method to enhance the hydrophilicity of the NP TiO surface without the destruction of the nano-topography. The effects of dilute and concentrated orthophosphoric (HPO) and nitric acids were investigated on wettability using contact angle measurement.

Patients And Methods: A total of 214 patients were admitted to the Department of Inpatient Care at Semmelweis University's Department of Oromaxillofacial Surgery and Stomatology between 1 September 2020 and 21 May 2021; individuals, who had undergone maxillofacial surgery under general anesthesia, were included in the study.
Maslach and Jackson. Results: In the field of examined dimensions of burnout syndrome, the most characteristic was emotional exhaustion, which has occurred with a frequency of nearly 30% and with typically high intensity among professionals working in neonatal intensive care units (N = 278). In addition, one-fifth were characterized by a high frequency and intensity of depersonalization.

Background: Diabetes is a well-known predisposing factor for oral diseases, so prevention in an early age is mandatory.
Objective: To provide oral screening for children living with type 1 diabetes. We aimed to investigate the oral and general health indexes of T1DM children and compare these data to healthy siblings and controls.
The etiological factors of squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck have been well known for a long time. It is also well known that the incidence of oral cancer diagnosed in younger patients is on the rise. Due to the young age of these patients, the increase in the number of these cases and the fact that many of them neither smoke nor drink alcohol it has been suggested that other factors might be at play in the carcinogenesis of oral cancer.

Patients And Methods: We pursued a retrospective research study in Hungary between January 2019 and December 2020.
Background: The aetiology of oral cancer is multifactorial, as various risk factors (genetics, socioeconomic and lifestyle factors) contribute to its development. Data in the literature suggest that people with periodontal disease have an increased risk of developing oral cancer, and the severity of periodontitis correlates with the appearance of oral squamous cell carcinoma. The aim of this study was to revise the non-genetic risk factors that may influence the development of OC, while focusing on the dental and periodontal status and OH.

Aim: Estimation of the prognosis is not resolved; among several radiological options those used in dentistry seem the most fit for the purpose, with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) being superior in this task. Assessment of the risk of BRONJ developed following orally applied bisphosphonate is unemphatic in most case studies - these focus more on the intravenous application carrying a greater risk of BRONJ.
The potential risk factors of the medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw remain the subject of research because of the different results of the studies. In our study, we examined the potential prognostic factors of the medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. Patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw presenting between June 2006 and November 2013 were included in this study.

Bone integration - meaning a structural and functional connection between the implant and the bone - itself was discovered and described in the late 1960s. This provides the basis of dental implantology.
