Aim: To ascertain and illustrate specific clinical dento-craniofacial characteristics associated with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in non-syndromic children.
Methods: Narrative review of literature on SDB, dental occlusion and craniofacial morphology retrieved through online literature database search for these terms. The review focused on clinical examples and graphical illustrations in order to ascertain the association between dento-craniofacial characteristics and SDB. Only publications concerning healthy non-syndromic children without any somatic or psychological diagnosis were included.
Results: Dento-craniofacial characteristics such as anterior open bite, large overjet, cross bite and facial appearance such as convex profile due to mandibular retrognathia and inclination, narrow and high palate can predispose to SDB in non-syndromic children. Furthermore, extended head posture, mouth breathing and general adenoidal face may be symptoms or predisposing factors to SDB in non-syndromic children.
Conclusion: Dento-craniofacial characteristics as anterior open bite, large overjet due to mandibular retrognathia, cross bite, and narrow and high palate can predispose to SDB in non-syndromic children. Facial characteristics predisposing to SDB can be a convex facial profile, extended head posture, mouth breathing and general adenoidal face. Interdisciplinary collaboration between medical doctors and dentists can prove valuable in diagnostics, prevention and treatment of SDB in non-syndromic children.

Article Synopsis
- Odontogenic tumors (OGTs) are rare, and primary intraosseous carcinoma NOS (PIOC) is an even rarer subtype with a poor prognosis, characterized by unclear immunohistochemical features and pathogenesis.
- A histopathological study of a PIOC case in the left mandible revealed a transition from an odontogenic keratocyst to carcinoma, with signs of malignant behavior such as invasive growth and specific biomarker alterations.
- Immunohistochemical analysis indicated increased levels of certain proteins (ARL4C, YAP) in the tumor, activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, and suggested that varied intracellular signaling pathways might play a role in the disease's pathogenesis.

Clear cell squamous cell carcinoma (CCSCC), where cells show abundant clear cytoplasm, -is a variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and a rare entity in the oral cavity. The characteristics of CCSCC, especially in immunohistochemical features, remain unclear. We characterized a case of CCSCC arising from the oral mucosal epithelium of tongue, where the clear cell lesion accounted for a predominant portion of the tumor.

The patients who underwent reconstruction of cleft lip and palate had clinically abnormal characteristics such as cicatricial contracture in the cleft area, narrow arches, missing teeth, and fistula. Most of those patients showed severe class III malocclusion with underdevelopment of the maxillary complex. In such patients, the treatment objectives in orthodontics were mainly anterior and lateral expansions of the maxillary arches, and inhibition of mandibular growth.

Most previous researches of hereditary characteristics of the craniofacial skeleton have used the twin-study method. In this study, dental anthropological materials were used to clarify genetic and environmental characteristics of the dento-craniofacial morphology. The sample consisted of four groups including Mexican Indians (N = 71), Peruvian Indians (N = 41) and their ancient ancestors: skulls of Mexican Indians (N = 33) and Peruvian Indians (N = 34).
