Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles secreted by various cells, play crucial roles in the pathogenesis and treatment of oral diseases. Recent studies have highlighted their involvement in orthodontics, periodontitis, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD). Exosomes have a positive effect on the inflammatory environment of the oral cavity, remodeling and regeneration of oral tissues, and offer promising therapeutic options for bone and periodontal tissue restoration.

Aims And Background: This study aimed to assess the accuracy of digital intraoral scans in capturing the three-dimensional (3D) surface of teeth and dental arches in mixed dentition, compared with conventional plaster models. Intraoral scanning technology has seen rapid advancements in recent years, revolutionizing orthodontic and dental practices. However, its accuracy in mixed dentition remains a subject of investigation.

Introduction Unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) often leads to maxillary hypoplasia and skeletal Class III malocclusion, with conflicting evidence on mandibular asymmetry. This study evaluated vertical mandibular asymmetry in UCLP patients, comparing them with non-cleft individuals having skeletal Class III and Class I malocclusions. Methods Mandibular asymmetry was evaluated using orthopantomograms (OPGs) from 90 subjects divided into three groups of 30 each: UCLP group, non-cleft skeletal Class III, and non-cleft skeletal Class I.

Objective: This study was aimed at investigating the roles of podoplanin (PDPN) as a marker associated with malignant development, progression, and poor prognosis in oral leukoplakia and various forms of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), particularly in relation to the extent of invasion.
Methods: Immunohistochemical analysis of PDPN was conducted on 77 histologically confirmed, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples representing various degrees of OSCC invasion and dysplasia grades.
Results: The samples were analyzed with Fisher's exact test and the Kruskal-Wallis test.
