This study investigated the use of dental measurements to estimate age and sex in the Indonesian population. Using 230 digital dental X-rays, the researchers measured total tooth length (TTL), root length (RL), crown length (CL), and pulp-tooth ratio (PTR). They found that TTL, RL, and CL were significantly related to sex, while PTR was strongly […]

This case series of four head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy showed that radiation planning using the Treatment Planning System (TPS) can predict oral mucositis severity based on isodose curves. Patients developed grade 2–4 mucositis, candidiasis, and taste loss, managed with hyaluronic acid mouthwash, multivitamins, and antifungals. TPS proved useful for anticipating and managing

This case report describes successful endodontic treatment of a mandibular second molar with a complex C-shaped canal and severe structural loss in a 49-year-old woman. CBCT was essential for diagnosis and planning, and treatment involved advanced instruments, ultrasonic irrigation, and modern restoration with zirconia. The case highlights the value of CBCT and careful technique in

This study compared IL-10 serum levels in non-diabetic patients and diabetic patients with and without oral manifestations. Results showed that diabetic patients with oral manifestations had the lowest IL-10 levels, suggesting reduced anti-inflammatory response and higher risk of oral complications. Monitoring IL-10 may help identify at-risk diabetic patients.

This case report describes a 34-year-old man with silent type 2 diabetes and stress, who developed oral opportunistic infections including candidiasis, recurrent intraoral herpes, and cheilitis. Combined antifungal, antiviral, and supportive therapy with diabetes management led to significant improvement. The case highlights how undiagnosed diabetes and stress can weaken immunity and trigger oral opportunistic infections.

This case report presents a 54-year-old tongue cancer patient who developed grade-3 oral mucositis after radiotherapy. Treatment with hyaluronic acid mouthwash and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) reduced pain and improved healing, showing the effectiveness of combining pharmacological therapy with LLLT in managing oral mucositis.

This case report describes a very rare combination of severe bilateral Tessier 4 cleft, unilateral Tessier 3 cleft, and amniotic band syndrome (ABS). The patient underwent multiple reconstructive surgeries with satisfactory outcomes, achieving functional recovery and improved social quality of life.

This scoping review analyzed 28 studies (2014–2023) on viruses associated with oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) beyond HPV and EBV. Findings showed a high prevalence of viral detection (78.57%), including HPV, EBV, HBV, and HSV, with tobacco use identified as the main risk factor. Viruses were more often detected in malignant stages (OSCC) than in

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.
