Oral candidiasis is a common opportunistic infection caused by Candida albicans, particularly in individuals with local or systemic risk factors. This study aimed to investigate how antifungal therapy affects the composition of the oral bacterial microbiome.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of M2-exos on osteogenic differentiation in human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) and the underlying mechanism.

Hyperlipidemia is associated with dental peri-implantitis. Long-term success of dental implant relies on good peri-implant soft tissue barrier. This study aims to investigate the effect of high-lipid environment on biological activities of gingival fibroblast on titanium surface so as to explore the effect of hyperlipidemia on peri-implant soft tissue.

To investigate the prognostic significance of Sex-determining region Y-box 4 (SOX4) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers (E-cadherin, N-cadherin, TWIST1) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and to evaluate their functional role.

This study aimed to develop and characterize indomethacin nanocapsules with an omega-3 oily core and evaluate their potential for treating rheumatoid arthritis in rats, comparing their effects to free-form administration on cytokines IL-1β, IL-10, IL-6, and TNF-α in temporomandibular joint.

To identify and evaluate current strategies for functional whole-tooth regeneration in orthotopic animal models with high translational potential.

This study aims to investigate the effects and mechanisms of tetramethoxyluteolin (TML), a bioactive compound in mulberry leaves, on jaw bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (JBMMSCs) in a periodontitis microenvironment.

To evaluate the immunoexpression of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and programmed cell death ligands 1 (PD-L1) and 2 (PD-L2) in giant cell granulomas of the jaws (central giant cell granuloma [CGCG], peripheral giant cell granuloma [PGCG]) and giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB).

Reductions in tooth number and facial prognathism may reflect shared genetic and evolutionary mechanisms but have been inconsistently reported by traditional cephalometric analyses. This study aimed to assess whether common patterns of dental agenesis are associated with craniofacial morphology using geometric morphometric methods.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of three probiotic samples-Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and Lactobacillus reuteri-on oral pathogens, commensal bacteria, and host oral cells, thereby exploring their potential roles in maintaining microbial balance and promoting host defense.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are frequently associated with psychological distress, including anxiety and depression, which can modulate pain perception and sensitivity. This study investigated the impact of acute and chronic stress on the progression of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain, secondary hyperalgesia, and stress-induced affective disturbances.

The study aims to systematically examine the accuracy of the application of different dental age estimation (DAE) methods on children with chromosomal syndromes and evaluate its performance based on various populations and regions.

To investigate the temporal evolution and predictive value of individual histopathological features of oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) during carcinogenesis, and to evaluate the diagnostic utility of optical fluorescence imaging in a murine model.

Using finite element analysis (FEA), this study aims to investigate the impact of different tooth root morphologies and implant designs, including a standard implant and a custom root-analogue implant on stress and strain distribution across the mandible.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has a poor prognosis and high mortality. This study aims to investigate the potential molecular mechanisms of NFIC/DEPTOR/mTOR signaling in glycolysis and tumor immune escape in OSCC.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of the periodontal bacterium Filifactor alocis on proinflammatory cytokine production by osteoblasts. Specifically, we examined the mechanisms underlying interleukin (IL)-6 production by osteoblasts stimulated with live and lyophilized F. alocis, and F. alocis-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs).

Mutations of the Ectodysplasin-A (EDA) gene are generally associated with syndromic tooth agenesis, yet their influence on non-syndromic tooth agenesis (NSTA) has not been thoroughly elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the genetic basis of NSTA and to identify pathogenic EDA mutations in two Chinese families using whole-exome sequencing, and explore the underlying mechanisms involved.

The aim of this study was to assess the dose-dependent effects of radiotherapy on the progression of apical periodontitis (AP) in rats.

This study aimed to ascertain the significance of microRNA-34b-3p (miR-34b-3p) in the prognosis and tumor angiogenesis associated with the development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Dental caries is a significant global issue, which affects approximately 44 % of the global population. The objective of this research is to extract crude phytochemicals from Psidium guajava, Acacia nilotica, Syzygium aromaticum, and Salvadora persica and also optimizing using RSM. Therefore, this aims to maximize the antibacterial potential of the extracts at effective inhibition of dental caries METHOD: The crude extracts from the plants samples, with varying extraction parameters, such as ethanol concentrations, temperatures, and solid-solvent ratios was done using Soxhlet method and antibacterial activity was determined through well and disc diffusion methods along with optimization was performed by Response Surface Methodology (RSM).
