Mucocele is one of the most common benign lesions of the oral cavity and results from the accumulation of saliva secondary to trauma or obstruction of the ducts of minor salivary glands. Although frequently encountered on the lower lip, mucoceles involving the ventral surface of...

Background: Clear orthodontic aligners create plaque-retentive occlusal surfaces that favour colonisation by Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans, increasing the risk of enamel demineralisation and gingival inflammation during treatment. Objective: To evaluate the antimicrob...

Periodontitis is a chronic, microbially associated inflammatory disease in which host-derived mediators, rather than bacteria alone, drive the destruction of tooth-supporting tissues. Neutrophil extracellular traps, chromatin scaffolds decorated with granule proteins that are exp...

Background: Edentulism remains a major global public-health burden, commonly rehabilitated using heat-polymerised polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) complete dentures. Microbial colonisation of the porous PMMA surface predisposes to denture stomatitis, and incorporating inorganic nan...

Objectives: This clinical study aimed to evaluate the 12-month clinical and radiographic outcomes of lesion sterilisation and tissue repair (LSTR) using a novel modified two-drug combination with a zinc oxide-eugenol (ZOE) matrix (ZCM/MCZ paste), compared with conventional ZOE pu...

Background: Traumatic oral ulcers usually resolve after removal of the causative factor; however, persistent lesions in the retromolar region may require combined mechanical and behavioural management. Case Presentation: An 11-year-old boy presented with bilateral non-healing ret...

Background: Radicular cysts are the most common inflammatory odontogenic cysts and are frequently diagnosed from clinical and radiographic findings. However, other odontogenic lesions can present as similar periapical radiolucencies, creating potential diagnostic discrepancies. A...

Background: Excessive gingival display (gummy smile) is a common aesthetic concern among patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. When associated with altered gingival contours or gingival enlargement without periodontal attachment loss, gingivoplasty can effectively improve sm...

Periodontitis is a chronic, microbially initiated inflammatory disease that destroys the tooth-supporting apparatus and remains one of the most prevalent non-communicable conditions worldwide. Despite advances in mechanical and antimicrobial therapy, disease recurrence and progre...

Additive manufacturing has become an increasingly common alternative to conventional heat polymerisation and subtractive milling for the fabrication of complete denture bases from polymethyl methacrylate-based photopolymer resins. Despite rapid clinical uptake, published evidence...

Periodontitis destroys the tooth-supporting apparatus through dysregulated interactions among a pathogenic biofilm, host immunity and resident reparative cells. Conventional periodontal therapy can control infection and inflammation, while established regenerative procedures impr...

Background: Gorlin–Goltz syndrome (GGS), also known as nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS), is a rare autosomal dominant multisystem disorder characterised by multiple odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs), basal cell carcinomas, palmar/plantar pits, and skeletal anomalies. As...

Background: Complete maxillary edentulism can compromise mastication, speech, facial support, aesthetics, and quality of life. Implant-supported hybrid (fixed-detachable) prostheses combine fixed implant retention with replacement of lost dental and soft-tissue contours and clini...

Introduction: LDH is a cytoplasmic enzyme that appears extracellularly during cell necrosis and tissue damage. Increased LDH levels in saliva have been associated with oral diseases, including oral lichen planus (OLP) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Normally, LDH convert...
