Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify an association or link between cyclin D1 and p27 protein expression and dysplastic changes or progression.
Study Design: Oral mucosal biopsies with a diagnosis of non-neoplastic tissue (gingivitis) (n = 10), mild to moderate oral epithelial dysplasia (n = 12), and oral squamous cell carcinoma (n = 11) were evaluated by using immunohistochemistry. Scanning software was used to determine cyclin D1 and p27 intensity of expression, location, and pattern.
Results: A significant increase in expression of cyclin D1 and a decrease in expression of p27 proteins were identified in oral epithelial dysplasia and less differentiated oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). There was a more diffuse distribution of cyclin D1 protein expression extending from the basal cell layer into the prickle cell layers in epithelial dysplasia and extending within all epithelial layers in OSCC. Cases of oral epithelial dysplasia had moderate infrequent expression of p27. There were no p27-positive cells in OSCC. The percentage of cells with both nuclear and cytoplasmic cyclin D1 staining was higher in OSCC specimens than control groups and oral epithelial dysplasia.
Conclusions: The expression of both cyclin D1 and p27 correlated with the grade of oral epithelial dysplasia and degree of OSCC differentiation. The results obtained will be verified through a basic follow-up of the cases to determine the prognosis/progression of oral dysplasia.

Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a developmental defect that affects the enamel tissue of permanent teeth. Clinicians may observe a range of opacities in the affected teeth, varying from white to creamy, yellow, and brown. Of particular interest is an etiology of MIH that has not been rigorously elucidated.

The distinctive clinicopathologic characteristics of OLP indicated that both microbial dysbiosis and neurogenic inflammation may be jointly involved in its progression, and transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor-1 (TRPV1) may be a crucial element. The purpose of this study was to explore how TRPV1 mediated -induced inflammation. Meanwhile, we aimed to unravel how IL-36γ dysregulated the barrier function in oral keratinocytes.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) has received considerable attention in the reconstruction of lost periodontal tissues. HA has been proposed to play a role in cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and cell-matrix as well as cell-cell interactions. Although various studies have been conducted, further research is needed to expand our knowledge based on HA such as its effects on cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation.
