Introduction: Pediatric oral pathology encompasses a wide range of diseases and conditions affecting the oral cavity in children. In this study we conducted an analysis on a dataset from one academic center in Saudi Arabia to investigate the prevalence of various oral lesions in pediatric patients.
Methods: To conduct this study we analyzed oral pathology reports of pediatric patients (age range: 0-18 years) who underwent biopsies at our institution's oral pathology laboratory between January 2012 and December 2022. The data we collected included demographic information and diagnostic findings. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the prevalence rates of and associations between different variables.
Results: The study analyzed a total of 183 pediatric cases with oral pathologies. The most common conditions observed were mucocele (12 %), periapical granuloma (7.7 %), dentigerous cyst (6.6 %), and radicular cyst (6.6 %). Some conditions showed variations in prevalence based on age and gender. For example, mucoceles were more prevalent among patients who were 6-12 years of age and female.
Conclusion: This retrospective study provides valuable insights into the prevalence and demographic characteristics of pediatric oral pathologies. By understanding the prevalence of conditions in this population and recognizing differences in distribution compared with those cited in other studies, we highlighted the importance of considering regional and demographic influences. Further prospective studies are needed to investigate factors that may contribute to these variations.

Background: Head and neck cancer (HNC) is amongst the 10 most common cancers worldwide and has a major effect on patients' quality of life. Given the complexity of this unique group of patients, a multidisciplinary team approach is preferable. Amongst the debilitating sequels of HNC and/or its treatment, swallowing, speech and voice impairments are prevalent and require the involvement of speech-language pathologists (SLPs).

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) constitutes 90% of liver cancer cases and ranks as the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality, necessitating urgent development of alternative therapies. Lactoferrin (LF), a natural iron-binding glycoprotein with reported anticancer effects, is investigated for its potential in liver cancer treatment, an area with limited existing studies. This study focuses on evaluating LF's anti-liver cancer effects on HCC cells and assessing the preventive efficacy of oral LF administration in a murine model.

Objective: To evaluate the 36-month clinical performance of Single Bond Universal Adhesive (SBU; 3M ESPE, Germany) in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) using different modes of adhesion according to the FDI criteria. The primary outcome was the retention loss of the restorations, while the secondary outcomes included marginal staining, marginal adaptation, post-operative sensitivity and tooth vitality, recurrence of caries erosion and abfraction, and tooth integrity, all evaluated according to the FDI criteria.
Materials And Methods: In this study, the SBU Adhesive was applied to 246 NCCLs of 25 patients using different modes of adhesion: Self-etch (SE), selective-enamel-etching (SLE), and etch-and-rinse (ER).
