Introduction: Oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL), locus of control, dental health as assessed by oneself and oral health situation have all been the subject of several research, but none of them have yet been investigated in combination.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 525 nursing students to investigate these ideas. The Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) scale was employed to evaluate the standard of living associated with oral health.

Results: Both chance participants and group internals reported having good OHRQoL. Nursing students in the internals group accurately assessed the deteriorated aspect of their self-reported oral health. However, it was found that participants from the chance locus and powerful others were unable to accurately rate the decayed component ( < 0.05).

Conclusion: Internal nursing students had the highest OHRQoL, followed by random and influential students. Individuals from locus internals and random gave accurate ratings of their dental deterioration.

Salivary proteins serve multifaceted roles in maintaining oral health and hold significant potential for diagnosing and monitoring diseases due to the non-invasive nature of saliva sampling. However, the clinical utility of current saliva biomarker studies is limited by the lack of reference intervals (RIs) to correctly interpret the testing result. Here, we developed a rapid and robust saliva proteome profiling workflow, obtaining coverage of >1,200 proteins from a 50-µL unstimulated salivary flow with 30 min gradients.

Systemic bile acid homeostasis plays an important role in human health. In this study, a physiologically based kinetic (PBK) model that includes microbial bile acid deconjugation and intestinal bile acid reuptake via the apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT) was applied to predict the systemic plasma bile acid concentrations in human upon oral treatment with the antibiotic tobramycin. Tobramycin was previously shown to inhibit intestinal deconjugation and reuptake of bile acids and to affect bile acid homeostasis upon oral exposure of rats.

The surgical ciliated cyst is a newly added entity under the cysts of the jaws in the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Head and Neck Tumours (2022). It is preceded by a prior surgery to the jaw many years before its diagnosis. A 53-year-old Chinese female, who had undergone cleft lip and palate repair followed by orthognathic surgery before the age of 20, was referred for management of an incidentally found cyst in the left maxilla.
