Aim: Tissue-invasive bacteria have been proposed to be a crucial factor in the etiopathogenesis of periodontitis, with the probable interaction of tissue-invasive bacteria with the innate immune response through inflammasomes, perpetuating periodontal attachment loss. This study aims to reveal the correlation between such tissue-invasive bacteria in upregulating inflammasomes and pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Materials And Methods: This study recruited a total of 10 patients with stage III/IV and grade C periodontitis based on the bone loss to age ratio.

Infantile myofibromatosis (IM) comprises a wide clinical spectrum, ranging from solitary or multicentric lesions to generalized life-threatening forms. IM is mostly linked to germline or somatic heterozygous mutations in the PDGFRβ tyrosine kinase, encoded by the PDGFRB gene. Treatments for IM range from wait and see approach to systemic chemotherapy, according to the clinical context.

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children, presenting with heterogeneous clinical and molecular subtypes. While gene fusions are predominantly associated with alveolar RMS, spindle cell RMS, especially congenital and intraosseous variants, are also linked to specific gene fusions. Furthermore, recently, FGFR1 kinase-driven RMSs were published.

Background/purpose: This study analyzed the clinical and imaging features of lingual mandibular bone depression (LMBD) in the anterior mandible, aiming to prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary surgical procedures.
Materials And Methods: The patients who visited a university dental hospital for painless radiolucency in the anterior mandible from January 2010 to December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Twelve cases of LMBD in the anterior mandible that are confirmed by biopsy or long-term follow-up were identified.

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a life-threatening disease that is diagnosed through an exploratory incision and typically requires surgical debridement. Reports of non-surgical cures are limited to specific cases, such as NF affecting only the head and neck regions. The two patients (a woman and a man) were both in their 70s and underwent maintenance dialysis for diabetic nephropathy.
