Article Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of probable diffused local anesthetic solution at and anesthesia of palatal tissues after buccal injection of 4% articaine hydrochloride (HCl) with 1:100,000 epinephrine or 1:200,000 epinephrine at the premolar and molar region.
Materials And Methods: Thirty volunteers received maxillary buccal injections of 4% articaine HCl with 1:100,000 epinephrine or 1:200,000 epinephrine bilaterally to the first premolar or first molar. Magnetic resonance images were obtained before and 5 minutes after local anesthetic injections, and a visual evaluation was done to determine the presence of local anesthetic solution at palatal tissues. Anesthesia of palatal tissues after buccal injection was assessed by needle-prick stimulation pain with a visual analog scale (VAS). The Kruskal-Wallis test was used for comparison of the VAS values.
Results: The visual evaluation of the magnetic resonance images did not show any signal change as an indicator of the presence of local anesthetic solution at the palatal region. Most of the volunteers described moderate or severe pain with needle-prick stimulation. The mean VAS score for needle-prick stimulation was 86.33 +/- 39.45 mm (1:100,000 epinephrine) and 87.0 +/- 36.28 mm (1:200,000 epinephrine) in the first premolar region and 57.20 +/- 46.69 mm (1:100,000 epinephrine) and 75.53 +/- 49.78 mm (1:200,000 epinephrine) in the molar region (P > .05).
Conclusion: We could not establish the presence of anesthesia or 4% articaine HCl at the palatal tissues after buccal injection. Maxillary tooth removal without palatal injection requires further objective investigations.

Schwannomas are considered benign soft tissue tumors that originate from Schwann cells. Oral Schwannomas are rare and account for only 1% of all Schwannomas. Cellularschwannoma (CS) is a rare histological variant of schwannoma, characterized by high cellularity and cellular atypia.

One of the most important figures of the Hellenic surgery of the 19 century, professor of the Othonian University of Athens, Theodoros Aretaios (1829-1893), portrays in his personal archives a series of surgical operations in the field of maxillofacial surgery. During his career, he operated the following surgical diseases, these are adenosarcomas or inosarcomas of the parotid region, osteofibroma of the sinus antrum, osteosarcomas of the upper and lower jaw, and lycostoma (cleft palate). He was able to perform radical enucleations of the tumorous masses.

In cases with a highly positioned mucogingival junction, an apically positioned flap in combination with palatal-mucosa grafting is commonly performed to deepen the sulcus. However, we believe that immobilizing the mucosa is more important than merely deepening it; thus, we developed a simple method based on the characteristics of its components. Elastic fiber should be replaced by collagen fiber.

As the supply source for gingival grafts, the palatal tissue possesses marked regenerative ability after repeated wounding over the buccal attached gingiva and skin. However, the intrinsic mechanisms are poorly understood. Schwann cells reportedly participate in wound repair of many tissues.

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.
