Masticatory Stress Maintains Mucosal Homeostasis via M2 Polarization.
J Dent Res
December 2024
Beijing Laboratory of Oral Health and Beijing Stomatological Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Article Synopsis
- Mastication not only helps in breaking down food but also plays a vital role in healing oral tissue by balancing damage and repair mechanisms.
- Research showed that mice on a soft food diet healed more slowly from oral wounds compared to those on a hard food diet, suggesting that masticatory stress is important for tissue repair.
- The study found that reduced masticatory stress led to lower expression of key genes involved in healing and macrophage activity, indicating the significance of physical stimulation in enhancing immune responses and wound healing in oral tissues.
Dynamics of Human Palatal Wound Healing and the Associated Microbiome.

Wound healing in the oral mucosa is superior to that in the skin, with faster wound closure accompanied by reduced inflammation, less angiogenesis, and minimal scar formation. A well-characterized oral wound model is critical to investigating the mechanisms of oral wound closure and the efficacy of various clinical interventions. Currently, there are a few human oral wound models, although none of them are well characterized.

Melanoma arising in the hard palate is an exceedingly rare entity, comprising a minute fraction of all melanoma cases. The absence of specific clinical signs often leads to delayed diagnosis and subsequent challenges in treatment planning. We discussed the existing literature to elucidate the epidemiology, risk factors, and molecular pathways associated with melanoma of the hard palate.

Purpose: Pterygoid implants are an alternative approach to avoid sinus-lifting or other grafting procedures. During pterygoid implant placement, dental surgeons risk damaging the greater palatine canal (GPC). However, they do not have sufficient reasons to avoid GPC injury.

Different surgical approaches exist for lower eyelid reconstruction. The hard palate mucosa graft stands out due to its abundance, accessibility, good tolerance, and ability to yield long-term stable results in eyelid elevation. This case report details the successful full-thickness reconstruction of the lower eyelid in an anophthalmic patient using a palatal mucosal graft, complemented by orbicularis muscle suspension.
