Objectives: The aim of this study is to analyze, through a literature review and the description of four clinical cases, whether prolonged tooth impaction may represent a trigger for the onset of oral carcinoma.
Materials E Methods: In this report, four cases of patients needing the extraction of third molars in complete mucosal or bone impaction are described, which, due to the presence of an unusual radiographic and/or clinical aspect, were found to represent cases of oral carcinomas on histologic analysis. Patients were then referred to the ENT department for further care. A review of the literature has been performed as well.
Results: Literature analysis revealed the presence of only few case reports on the topic, suggesting therefore a lack of evidence on the correlation between tooth impaction and the onset of oral carcinomas.
Conclusions: Further studies are needed in order to give valid hypotheses. The concept of inflammation, that is at the base of oral carcinogenesis mechanism and tooth-related pathologies, such as pericoronitis, may be a common substrate to link these two phenomena.
Clinical Relevance: A thorough analysis of the radiographic and clinical signs is strongly recommended prior and during surgical procedures, such as tooth extraction.

Comparative Evaluation of the Efficiency in Retrieving Separated Reciprocating Instruments Using Three Different File Retrieval Systems in Maxillary First Molars: An Study.
J Pharm Bioallied Sci
December 2024
Master of Dental Surgery, Post Graduate, Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, Indira Gandhi Institute of Dental Sciences, Pillayarkuppam, Puducherry, India.
Aim: The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the retrieval time, efficiency, and loss of dentin volume after separated instrument retrieval using three different file retrieval systems in the middle and apical thirds of the mesio-buccal root of maxillary first molars.
Material And Methods: Sixty maxillary first molars were selected. Group 1: Endo Rescue Apex, Group 2: Ultrasound apex, Group 3: Broken instrument remover apex, Group 4: Endo Rescue Middle, Group 5: Ultrasound Middle, Group 6: Broken instrument Remover middle were used to retrieve the fractured reciprocating files from the root canals.
Comparative Evaluation of the Flap and Flapless Techniques for the Extraction of Impacted Third Molars Using a Split-Mouth Prospective Randomized Control Research.
J Pharm Bioallied Sci
December 2024
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Malla Reddy Institute of Dental Sciences, Suraram, Hyderabad, Telangana, India.
Aim: Comparative evaluation of the flap and flapless techniques for the extraction of impacted third molars using a split-mouth prospective randomized control research.
Material And Methods: The research comprised 120 healthy individuals. Every patient having surgery was separated into two locations and then randomly allocated to two groups: Group I (control, n = 60) had surgical extraction of the lower third molar by elevating a buccal flap, and Group II (study group, n = 60) had surgical extraction of the lower third molar without the need to raise a buccal flap.
Assessment to determine the accuracy of Chaillet and Demirjian method of dental age estimation using Orthopantomographs, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia.

Department of Biomedical Dental Sciences, College of Dentistry, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam, Saudi Arabia.
Background: The approach to estimating mandibular age has been widely used, although it has shown age estimation disparities in diverse populations, including Indians.
Objective: Our goal was to test the Demirjian 8-teeth approach utilizing orthopantomogram to estimate age reliably after incorporating the third molar. We also used Chaillet and Demirjian's regression equations to estimate age estimation accuracy in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.
Rumen microbiome associates with postpartum ketosis development in dairy cows: a prospective nested case-control study.

State Key Laboratory of Animal Nutrition and Feeding, Department of Animal Nutrition and Feed Science, College of Animal Science and Technology, China Agricultural University, Beijing, 100193, China.
Background: Approximately, one-third of dairy cows suffer from postpartum diseases. Ketosis is considered an important inducer of other postpartum diseases by disrupting energy metabolism. Although the rumen microbiome may be involved in the etiology of ketosis by supplying volatile fatty acids, the rumen environmental dynamics of ketosis cows are unclear.

China.
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in predicting the exposure of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) during complicated mandibular third molars (M3M) extraction.
Methods: 115 M3Ms with canal cortical defect signs on preoperative CBCT were extracted. Candidate variables included sex, age, types of CBCT machine, the Winter classification of M3Ms, the size of root entering the canal on CBCT, the size of cortical defect on CBCT.
