Introduction: Ionizing radiation is extensively utilized in dental imaging research, with radiography serving as the primary diagnostic technique in dentistry.
Materials And Methods: The cytotoxic effects of Xrays are wellestablished, the genotoxic consequences remain debated.
Results: This study aims to evaluate the impact of dental Xrays on cellular morphological patterns in the oral mucosa.

The current study examines the application of the Pediatric-Buccal-Epigenetic (PedBE) clock, designed for buccal epithelial cells, to endothelia. We evaluate the association of PedBE epigenetic age and age acceleration estimated from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) with length of gestation and birthweight in a racially and ethnically diverse sample (analytic sample = 333). PedBE age was positively associated with gestational age at birth ( = 0.

Human defensins are peptides coded by certain genes released as a part of immune response that act differently to tumorigenic cells according to the class. A varied cellular response has been documented in the world literature concerning the role of defensins in the cancer cell lines, though the exact role in the internal human milieu and the role specific to head and neck cancers is still understudied. This study explores the possible role of Human Beta Defensin (HBD) 1 and 3 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in disease progression and their potential as biomarkers/prognostic markers.
