Desquamative gingivitis is described as an erythematous, desquamated gingival lesion. There are many etiologic factors for the appearance of such lesions. The aim of this case report is to diagnose the cause of the lesion by analyzing the complete medical, dental, and personal histories. An elaborated differential diagnosis is done, and the lesion is successfully treated accordingly. The gold standard treatment is usually provided by systemic or topical corticosteroids. Another treatment option is antioxidant therapy which provides rapid healing of the tissue.

The anatomical structure of the gingival papilla around the implant is special, and it is difficult to recover after injury. The reduction of its height will have a negative impact on function and esthetics, and it is one of the many problems in implant treatment at present. This paper analyzes the influencing factors of implant gingival papilla height from three aspects: anatomical factors, implant surgical design and implant restorative design, including the classical influencing factors such as the shape of natural teeth, interproximal distance between the implant and the adjacent tooth, soft tissue grafting, and contour of implant restorations, as well as the hot and controversial influencing factors in recent years such as the thickness of soft tissues around the implant, the implant surgical timing, the flap design, and the surgical incision, in order to provide reference for clinicians in the process of implant treatment for gingival papilla preservation and reconstruction.

This study investigated the relationship between nutritional status and self-reported oral health complaints in patients with cancer.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with cancer at the King Saud University Medical City Oncology Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Purpose: To evaluate the oral health status of community-dwellers ≥ 45 years of age in the canton of Bern, Switzerland.
Materials And Methods: Data were collected using a questionnaire (including sociodemographic factors, medical history, oral health behaviour) and a clinical examination comprising caries, periodontal disease, oral hygiene, and prosthetic rehabilitation. χ2/Fisher's tests and Cochrane Armitage trend tests as well as a binary logistic regression were performed to assess the association between oral disease presence (i.

The oral cavity, being a nutritionally enriched environment, has been proven to be an ideal habitat for biofilm development. Various microenvironments, including dental enamel, supra- and subgingival surfaces, salivary fluid, and the dorsal surface of the tongue, harbor diverse microbes. These biofilms typically consist of four major layers.

There is a rise in using biologics in root coverage procedures. As it has been shown that hyaluronic acid (HA) promotes wound healing, this review aimed to assess its efficacy in the treatment of gingival recessions.
