This study investigated the effects of α-mangostin and hyperbaric oxygen therapy on bone remodeling after orthodontic tooth retraction. In animal models, these treatments increased osteoblasts, reduced osteoclast activity, and elevated MMP-8 expression, showing a strong positive correlation among these indicators. The results suggest that both therapies, especially in combination, can enhance alveolar bone repair during […]

This case report describes a 26-year-old woman with allergic stomatitis triggered by eating cassava, presenting as painful oral ulcers. Laboratory tests showed elevated IgE levels. Treatment with antiseptic mouthwash, topical corticosteroids, and multivitamins relieved symptoms. The report highlights that even common foods can cause allergic stomatitis, making thorough history-taking and supporting tests essential for diagnosis

Capsaicin, the spicy compound from Capsicum annuum L., shows potential benefits in oral health. Research highlights its analgesic effects in conditions like oral neuropathic pain, mucositis, TMJ disorders, and burning mouth syndrome. It also shows anticancer and antimicrobial activity against oral pathogens. However, more human studies are needed to determine safe dosages, clarify mechanisms, and

This study tested Peperomia pellucida (Pepper Elder) extract as an adjunct therapy for periodontitis in rats. The extract reduced periodontal pocket depth and improved inflammatory markers (IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-10, IL-13), showing significant anti-inflammatory effects comparable to chlorhexidine.

his study on children with intellectual disabilities found high rates of severe caries and odontogenic infections. There was a significant correlation between caries severity and odontogenic infections, but no significant link between these conditions and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL).

Granola potato peel ethanol extract (GPPEE) showed promising wound healing and anti-inflammatory effects on oral mucosal wounds in rats. Both 4% and 6% GPPEE gels reduced inflammation, increased fibroblast activity, and improved collagen deposition, with 6% showing the best results. GPPEE performed better than placebo and was comparable to standard triamcinolone treatment, suggesting its potential

This case report describes a 30-year-old woman with SLE who developed multiple oral lesions as side effects of long-term glucocorticoid therapy, compounded by herpes infection and candidiasis. With comprehensive multidisciplinary management, her oral lesions improved within a month. The report emphasizes the need for careful monitoring of oral complications in SLE patients receiving glucocorticoids. Read

This in silico study evaluated compounds from Myrmecodia pendans for their antibacterial potential by targeting MurA and MurB receptors. All three compounds showed stronger binding affinities than fosfomycin, with key residues identified in receptor interactions. ADMET analysis indicated that Compound 2 had the best drug-like properties, making it the most promising candidate for further antibacterial

This in vitro study compared the enamel penetration depth of fluoride varnish, CPP-ACP, and CPP-ACPF on premolars. Results showed CPP-ACPF had the greatest penetration depth, followed by fluoride varnish and CPP-ACP. The findings suggest that adding fluoride to calcium phosphate paste enhances remineralization effectiveness in preventing demineralization.

This systematic review explores the potential of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), synthesized from agricultural waste like lignin, as a green and effective treatment for oral cancer. SPIONs offer drug delivery and hyperthermia capabilities, showing good effectiveness, biocompatibility, and reduced side effects. Findings support their promise as a sustainable approach in oral cancer therapy while
