The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a developmental odontogenic cyst that is important due to its specific histopathologic features and clinical behavior. It is well known that the OKC arises from cell rests of the dental lamina. This cyst is important as it shows a different growth mechanism and biologic behavior from other common odontogenic cysts. In rare cases, OKCs occur in sites other than intraosseous sites. The most common location of peripheral OKC is the gingiva, but mucosal, epidermal and even intramuscular sites have also been described. The origin of peripheral OKCs is still under controversy. We, hereby, add a case of peripheral OKC located in the soft tissue of the buccal mucosa to the scarce literature consisting of only a few case reports and small case series of peripheral odontogenic cysts.

Background: The dependence on the illicit drugs has been proven to be harmful to the oral cavity and may lead to a series of abnormal manifestations. The main objective of this study was to observe the effects caused by the consumption of illicit drugs in the oral cavity, in a prison population in the North of Portugal.
Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted involving 91 male inmates aged 25-75 years (mean age 41.

Oral cancer detection is based on biopsy histopathology, however with digital microscopy imaging technology there is real potential for rapid multi-site imaging and simultaneous diagnostic analysis. Fifty-nine patients with oral mucosal abnormalities were imaged in vivo with a confocal laser endomicroscope using the contrast agents acriflavine and fluorescein for the detection of oral epithelial dysplasia and oral cancer. To analyse the 9168 images frames obtained, three tandem applied pre-trained Inception-V3 convolutional neural network (CNN) models were developed using transfer learning in the PyTorch framework.

Materials And Methods: To achieve this goal, a clinical and functional study was carried out in the mucous membrane of the alveolar ridge after vestibuloplasty in 80 patients (35 men and 45 women) aged from 18 to 65 years, average age 41.5±1.
Objective: To analyze the dynamics of the condition of the mucous membrane in patients with metabolic syndrome at the stage of preparation for dental prosthetics using dental implants.
Material And Methods: 255 patients (151 women and 104 men) aged from 35 to 65 years were examined. 3 groups were formed: 2 study groups and a comparison group.
The Aim Of The Study: To study the expression of NOD receptors of immunotropic periodontal tissue cells in patients with aggressive periodontitis before and after complex treatment.
Materials And Methods: 15 patients aged 22 to 36 years with aggressive periodontitis were examined before and 21 days after the start of complex treatment. 15 patients with fibroids of the oral mucosa without signs of inflammation served as controls.
