Background and objective:  Oral tongue Squamous Cell carcinoma (SCC) commonly involves males between the sixth to eighth decades of life. Major risk factors are tobacco usage and alcohol consumption. The increasing number of patients developing oral tongue cancer without these well-known risk factors suggests that a viral infection, such as Human Papil...

Regenerative therapy in oral health care is limited by both the body's natural capacity for regeneration and the materials and methods currently available. Research on various aspects of regenerative therapy, such as tissue engineering and stem cell and gene therapy, has produced promising results. Compelling advances, ranging from the discovery and characterization of stem cell populations in ...

Oral submucous fibrosis is chronic progressive condition of oral cavity. The condition is well recognized for its malignant potential. Usually the disease initiates with redness, blistering, and ulceration inside the mouth. It is characterized by progressive fibrosis of submucosal tissue. The pathogenesis of oral submucous fibrosis is not well understood. Betelquid chewing is the major etiologi...

Oral cancer is often diagnosed only at advanced stages due to a lack of reliable disease markers. The purpose of this study was to determine if the epithelial-specific human calmodulin-like protein (CALML3) could be used as marker for the various phases of oral tumor progression. Immunohistochemical analysis using an affinity-purified CALML3 antibody was performed on biopsy-confirmed oral tissu...

OMPLETE dentures are designed to replace lost teeth and restore comfort, function, and C natural appearance. Unfortunately, the stomatognathic system does not always respond favorably to these oral substitutes. Acute and chronic inflammatory changes of the oral mucosa beneath complete dentures are common, and the cause of these changes has been the subject of many reports. Even with the control...

background: bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bmscs) are the key to regenerative wound healing. mscs have spatial memory and respond to local environment. the goal of this study was to evaluate the use of systemic and intralesional transplantation of bmscs for regeneration of oral mucosa in an in vivo dog model. materials and methods: transplantation of undifferentiated green fluorescent prot...
