Division of Periodontology, The Ohio State University Health Sciences Center, College of Dentistry, Columbus, Ohio, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Betel leaf chewing is a common cultural practice in many Asian countries, but it's linked to oral diseases like periodontitis, which necessitates awareness among dental professionals, especially when treating patients from these backgrounds.
- A case series from The Ohio State University involved four Asian patients with a history of betel leaf chewing, revealing challenges in obtaining accurate medical histories due to cultural terminology.
- All patients showed significant dental issues, including tooth staining and extensive bone loss, highlighting the need for healthcare providers to conduct thorough assessments for culturally related habits in diverse patient populations.
Treatment outcomes of oral leukoplakia on the irradiated or nonirradiated mucosa among survivors of head and neck cancer in the papulation where practice of betel nut chewing and cigarette smoking are widespread.

Background: Radiotherapy (RT) has numerous effects on the oral mucosa, primarily genetic alterations and changes in the microenvironment. The characteristics of oral leukoplakia (OL) may differ between patients who have received previous head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment with radiation therapy and those who have not. Due to a lack of data on this scenario, we aimed to investigate the surgical outcomes of OL by comparing these two patient groups.

Background: The treatment of oral leukoplakia (OLK) with aminolaevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) is widespread. Nonetheless, there is variation in efficacy. Therefore, this study constructed a model for predicting the short-term efficacy and recurrence of OLK after ALA-PDT.

Article Synopsis
- - Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a serious, progressive oral disorder that can lead to cancer and is mainly found in Southeast Asia; the study investigates how often OSMF occurs alongside other potentially malignant oral disorders (OPMDs).
- - It was found that having multiple OPMDs increases the risk of developing oral cancer significantly—three to four times for those with two OPMDs and seven to ten times for patients with three or more OPMDs.
- - The research, conducted at Saveetha Dental College in Chennai, reviewed 630 patients with OSMF, revealing that 10% of them also had coexisting OPMDs, with leukoplakia being the most common. *

Article Synopsis
- * A shift from invasive tissue biopsies to non-invasive brush biopsies and the use of artificial intelligence for rapid cell analysis can enhance early detection and risk identification of OSCC.
- * The study focuses on collecting and analyzing samples from patients with leukoplakia to identify genetic biomarkers, aiming to improve early diagnosis and targeted therapy options for patients at risk of OSCC.
