Background: To describe demographic and clinicopathological aspects of a South-American cohort of incipient oral squamous cell carcinoma patients.
Material And Methods: A cross-sectional, observational study was performed to assess demographic and clinicopathological characteristics of incipient oral squamous cell carcinoma patients from 6 South-American institutions.
Results: One hundred and seven patients within the histopathological spectrum of incipient oral squamous cell carcinoma (in-situ and microinvasive) were included. Fifty-eight (54.2%) patients were men with a mean age of 60.69 years. Forty-nine (45.8%) and thirty-nine (36.5%) patients had history of tobacco and alcohol use, respectively. Clinically, most of the lesions were plaques (82.2%), ≥ 2 cm in extension (72%), affecting the lateral border of the tongue (55.1%), and soft palate (12.1%) with a mixed (white and red) appearance. Eighty-two (76.7%) lesions were predominantly white and 25 (23.3%) predominantly red.
Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest cohort of incipient oral squamous cell carcinoma patients, which raises awareness of clinicians' inspection acuteness by demonstrating the most frequent clinical aspects of this disease, potentially improving oral cancer secondary prevention strategies.

Resin Infiltration for the Esthetic Improvement of Dental Fluorosis and White Spots: A Case Report.

White spot lesions, characterized by opaque enamel discolorations from early carious lesions, fluorosis, or developmental issues, can be effectively managed through various treatments. Resin infiltration is a unique therapy that bridges the gap between non-invasive and invasive alternatives, potentially delaying the need for restorations by applying a low-viscosity resin that penetrates and seals the lesion, enhancing both appearance and function. This study evaluates the clinical and esthetic outcomes of resin infiltration in a 33-year-old female patient with mild dental fluorosis, who presented with white and brown discolorations on her anterior teeth and a high caries index.

Introduction: Clinical decision-making varies among dentists. However, the literature is limited and narrow in scope regarding the variation between public and private sector dentists. Because both types of dentists' decisions can directly influence military dental readiness, it is important to understand the potential differences in diagnosis, treatment planning, and the delivery of care.

Numerous therapeutic approaches are available for managing molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH); however, the cost-effectiveness of these strategies is underexplored. Economic evaluations are crucial for determining the optimal treatment approach to individual patients' requirements. We systematically reviewed the literature on the topic to have a more comprehensive discussion about these issues.

A multicentered, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 104 subjects receiving either PMEC or placebo for eight weeks was conducted. The primary focus was on the changes in inflammatory biomarkers from gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), with clinical parameters as secondary outcomes.
