The effects of dopamine D-1 and D-2 receptor agonists were evaluated in five Cebus apella monkeys. During a previous haloperidol treatment (2 years), three of the monkeys had developed oral tardive dyskinesia (tongue protrusion and/or chewing). The partial D-1 agonist, SKF 38393, induced/aggravated oral dyskinesia and slight sedation, but no non-oral repetitive movements. Conversely, the selective D-2 agonist, LY 171555, produced non-oral repetitive movements and increased reactivity (arousal), but no significant change in the oral movements. Apomorphine (a mixed D-1/D-2 agonist) induced non-oral repetitive movements, increased reactivity, and increased oral dyskinesia. Pretreatment with SKF 38393 inhibited the LY 171555-induced non-oral repetitive movements, while in four monkeys the SKF 38393-induced oral movements were inhibited by LY 171555. The results suggest that oral dyskinesia (tardive dyskinesia) is more related to D-1 receptor stimulation than to D-2 receptor supersensitivity.

Background And Objective: Oral cancer surgery and the associated reconstructive procedures cause mechanical and neurological impairment of swallowing. Despite postoperative rehabilitation, functional impairment of swallowing remains a concern. This study is to investigate the potential benefits of prehabilitation with preoperative swallowing exercises to patients undergoing composite resections and compartmental tongue resections so that it results in better swallowing outcomes and improved quality of life after surgery.

The commensal Streptococcus gordonii expresses numerous surface adhesins with which it interacts with other microorganisms, host cells and salivary proteins to initiate dental plaque formation. However, this Gram-positive bacterium can also spread to non-oral sites such as the heart valves and cause infective endocarditis. One of its surface adhesins, Sgo0707, is a large protein composed of a non-repetitive N-terminal region followed by several C-terminal repeat domains and a cell wall sorting motif.

The microbiota of the denture plaque biofilm colonizing the fitting surface of dentures in edentulous subjects with healthy palates (n = 20) and in edentulous subjects with denture stomatitis (n = 20) was studied. The numbers of bacteria colonizing the dentures of healthy subjects was significantly less than the numbers colonizing the dentures of stomatitis subjects. The proportions and frequency of isolation of mutans streptococci, lactobacilli, bifidobacteria and yeasts were significantly (P < 0.
