In the present study, an attempt was made to formulate mucoadhesive buccal patches of flurbiprofen (FBN) in order to enhance solubility. Solubity enhancement was attempted by making solid dispersion of drug with beta-CD (cyclodextrin). Initially preformulation were carried out using reported methods. Buccal patches were prepared by solvent casting technique using polymers like polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (SCMC), and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC). The prepared patches were evaluated for their weight variation, thickness, folding endurance, surface pH, swelling index, in vitro residence time, in vitro permeation studies, drug content uniformity and bioadhesion test.

Oral ulcers, the most common type of mucosal lesion, are both highly prevalent and prone to recurrence. In the persistently moist environment of the oral cavity, current therapeutic patches face challenges such as short adhesion time, disruption by food particles and bacteria, and oral movements. To address these challenges, we develop a Janus patch, named ANSB, inspired by the multi-layered and asymmetric structure of natural mucosa, featuring a long-lasting adhesive layer and a lubricating layer.

Introduction: Nervous patients often postpone dental visits until they are in severe pain, exacerbating anxiety. Buccal patches provide a noninvasive method of delivering drugs between the upper gum and cheek, offering local and systemic effects. Prior research has demonstrated the effectiveness, safety, and reliability of topical lidocaine or articaine patches for oral anesthesia.

Background: Oral mucosal malignant melanoma (OMMM) arises from malignant melanocytes, and the most affected age, sex, and site are 20 to 83 years, male, and the mucosa of hard palate and maxillary gingiva, respectively. Despite several cases of OMMM have been published in the literature, cases of malignant melanoma arising around the dental implant are rarely reported.
Case Summary: A 59-year-old male was admitted to our Department with the complain of gingival black pigmentations following dental implant treatment for 3 years.
Buccal lidocaine mucoadhesive patches for pediatrics' teething pain: overcoming possible hazards of oral gels.

Objectives: The utilization of pharmaceutical products in pediatric medicine, while established for use in adults, often presents uncertainties due to differences in application for children. The FDA discourages the use of local anesthetic gels, notably lidocaine, for teething pain in pediatrics due to concerns regarding potential adverse effects if inadvertently swallowed excessively. Therefore, significant attention is being directed towards modifying available marketed products to make them suitable for pediatric use.

In the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery, extensive oral soft-tissue injuries occur repeatedly in clinical practice; however, effective restorative materials are lacking. In this study, a biodegradable waterborne polyurethane patch featuring a mucosa bionic bilayer structure is presented. This patch consists of a porous scaffold layer that faces the lesion, incorporating a polydopamine coating to achieve sustained release of epidermal growth factors (EGFs) for mucosal defect reconstruction.
