This review highlights how smoking worsens periodontal and dental disease by accelerating tissue damage and complicating treatment. Smoking cessation is the most effective way to improve outcomes, supported by counseling, pharmacotherapy, and digital health tools. A multidisciplinary approach combining periodontal therapy with smoking cessation strategies is essential, though more research is needed on long-term effects […]

This study investigated genetic factors behind skeletal class III malocclusion with prognathic mandibles in the Deutero-Malay race. Analysis of saliva samples from 104 participants showed that the rs6180 polymorphism in the GHR gene is significantly linked to mandibular protrusion, suggesting it influences mandibular growth and contributes to class III malocclusion.

This scoping review highlights advancements in surgical endodontics, showing that modern tools—such as magnification devices, ultrasonic instruments, piezoelectric surgery, and biocompatible materials—have improved precision, reduced invasiveness, and increased success rates. These technologies expand treatment options for complex periapical lesions and support better tooth preservation.

This study will systematically review and analyze randomized controlled trials to understand the oral health effects of non-combustible nicotine products (NCNPs) like e-cigarettes, nicotine pouches, and snus. It compares these products to each other, placebos, standard care, no treatment, and traditional cigarette smoking. The focus is on oral side effects such as ulcers, dry mouth,

This case report investigates the relationship between herpes labialis (HL), psychological stress, and sun exposure. HL, caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), can be triggered by factors such as stress, depression, anxiety, ultraviolet (UV) light, fever, and poor diet. The report describes a 20-year-old male florist experiencing severe anxiety and frequent sun exposure

This pilot study investigated oral health outcomes after using a new nicotine pouch (Stingfree Strong Blue Mint) designed with an impermeable interior barrier to reduce mucosal irritation. Twenty-three Swedish dentists who were current users of snus or nicotine pouches participated in a 5-week observational study. Results showed a significant reduction in self-reported snus lesions, with

This paper discusses the use of marsupialization as a conservative approach to treat dentigerous cysts, particularly those associated with impacted teeth, to reduce the risk of pathological fractures and preserve surrounding vital structures. The case report details a 40-year-old male who was diagnosed with a dentigerous cyst in the left mandible. The patient underwent marsupialization,

This study reviewed 78 TMD patient records (2021–2023) at the Prosthodontics Polyclinic, Universitas Padjadjaran. The average treatment duration with occlusal splints was 4 months, most commonly 3–4 months, with the shortest duration being 1 month and the longest 13 months.
