Background: The aim of the study was to compare the oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) between cancer survivors: with rapid orthodontic treatment (TX) (up to 12 months) and standard TX (orthodontic treatment time longer than 16 months).
Methods: There were 76 cancer survivors (48 women and 28 men) allocated into groups with rapid (36 people) or standard (40 people) duration of TX. OHRQoL was assessed on the basis of Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) values, measured before TX, 2 weeks and 3 months after the onset of TX, and after the end of TX. A repeated ANOVA test was used to check the statistical significance between the scores.
Results: There were no significant differences regarding the OHIP-14 values between the examined groups at all stages of the examination. Both groups presented significant ( < 0.001) improvement of the values of OHRQoL at the end of TX comparing to the values achieved before the onset of TX.
Conclusions: Duration of orthodontic treatment by itself had no impact on oral-health-related quality of life.

Efficacy of thyme honey in the management of oral aphthous ulcers: A randomized controlled clinical trial.
Eur J Oral Sci

Oral Medicine and Periodontology, Faculty of Dentistry, Galala University, Suez, Egypt.
The current study aimed to assess the effect of thyme honey on pain relief in patients with minor aphthous ulcers as a primary objective, its healing effect on ulcer size reduction, and the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). In this randomized clinical trial, 30 patients (15 in each group) having minor aphthous ulcers at the oral diagnostic clinic at the British University in Egypt were treated with either thyme honey or triamcinolone acetonide in orabase. Different clinical parameters were recorded for both groups at various intervals, such as pain intensity using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), size of ulcers in mm, and OHIP-14.

The treatment of mandibular second molar (MM2) impaction presents a challenge for orthodontists and requires a surgical-orthodontic approach. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of two techniques for treating impacted MM2: a traditional technique using brass wire and a technique employing skeletal anchorage. Twelve MM2 with mesio-angular impaction, with an inclination angle between 25° and 40° and an impaction depth between 4 and 10 mm, were selected and randomly divided into two treatment groups.

Objectives: To analyse temporomandibular disorders (TMD), bruxism and well-being in patients with fibromyalgia and compare these outcomes with a control group.
Method: Diagnostic criteria for the assessment of TMD, bruxism and well-being were used in a clinic context including patients with fibromyalgia (n = 71) and a control group of healthy subjects (n = 151). Participants completed an online questionnaire measuring temporomandibular pain, headache attributed to TMD, jaw locking, joint sounds, headache to bruxism, potential sleep bruxism, potential awake bruxism, jaw functional limitation scale 8 (JFLS-8), generalised anxiety disorder scale 7, oral health impact profile scale 14, World Health Organization well-being index (WHO-5) and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI).

: We aimed to explore whether there is an association between maternal perceived infant discomfort due to suggestive gastrointestinal alterations and oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) through a survey. : The present study included two main phases involving Portuguese-speaking parents with full-term infants aged 2-12 weeks old who were not previously hospitalized in a neonatal nursery. First, the original French Infant Colic Questionnaire (ColiQ) was translated, cross-culturally adapted and validated to Portuguese (ColiQ-PT).
