TL;DR: The diagnoses of 40,000 consecutively accessioned oral biopsies from the Oral Pathology Diagnostic Service, University of Western Ontario, London, Canada, were reviewed to allow clinicians to make realistic judgments in counseling patients before biopsy about the probability of diagnosis and risks associated with nonspecific clinical or radiographic lesions.

TL;DR: The bacteria present in infected root canals include a restricted group of species compared with the total flora of the oral cavity, and strong associations between certain species are present.

TL;DR: The presence of specific oral manifestations and the number of different concurrent intraoral lesions among HIV-infected persons are associated with severe immune suppression and AIDS.

TL;DR: Trends of change in the following aspects of deep neck abscess are identified: cause, presentation, diagnostic methods, and bacteriology.

TL;DR: A longitudinal prospective trial was carried out on 146 patients to evaluate which factors can have an effect on postoperative recovery after extraction of impacted third molars or wisdom teeth.

TL;DR: A series of 24 consecutive cases of oral pain treated with topical capsaicin found that trigeminal neuralgia with an intraoral trigger was less responsive to topical therapy than neuropathic pain.

TL;DR: The effect of six endodontic irrigants on smear layers created by hand instrumentation was evaluated in vitro in the middle and apical sections of 53 root canals and Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid showed the marked demineralizing effect on the dentinal walls and tubules as the acidic solution.

TL;DR: A key role is established for interleukin-1 alpha in the pathogenesis of periapical lesions in the rat model using a rat model of surgical pulp exposure and bone-resorbing activity is determined by biochemical criteria and antibody neutralization studies.

TL;DR: An immune complex mechanism appears to underlie the pathogenesis of erythema multiforme, and T-cell-mediated hypersensitivity is involved in recurrent aphthous stomatitis and lichen planus, and genetic defects and antibody-mediated processes give rise to junctional separation in epidermolysis bullosa and mucous membrane pemphigoid.

TL;DR: Focal cemento-osseous dysplasia is thought to be of periodontal ligament origin and to be non-neoplastic in nature, and was found to occur with greater frequency in women and in the posterior mandible.

TL;DR: Although rarely fatal in the absence of other serious underlying disease, oral candidiasis may serve as a useful clinical marker for the presence of significant predisposing conditions.

TL;DR: A review of causes, diagnosis, prognosis, and management of root perforations provides information for avoiding, detecting, and treating of such defects.

TL;DR: Severe reflux disease of long duration was found to be potentially detrimental to the teeth, whereas milder forms of the disease need not cause dental side effects.

TL;DR: Although SDC exhibits an unpredictable clinical course, total parotidectomy with neck dissection and adjunctive radiation therapy appear to be appropriate for local and regional control of this aggressive neoplasm.

TL;DR: Clobetasol propionate was better than fluocinonide as measured by more rapid control of pain (within 7 days) and normal carriers should be identified and treatment with antifungal therapy instituted before the patient begins using topical steroids.

TL;DR: Evidence is offered that mandibular involvement in the recently described synovitis acne pustulosis hyperostosis osteitis syndrome exactly fits the accepted description for diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis of the mandible.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of case reports of dermoid cysts in the floor of the mouth is presented, which reveals some findings that do not support conclusions expressed in previous articles.

TL;DR: The distal roots of mandibular molars had the largest size main foramen, whereas the maxillary premolarsHad the largest accessory foramina and the most complicated apical morphologic makeup.

TL;DR: Dental implants are now placed in vascularized bone reconstruction of the mandible immediately at the time of ablative surgery, which obviates the need for additional surgical reconstructive procedures, adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and problems associated with the placement of dental implants in irradiated tissue.

TL;DR: The results of this study revealed that the clinical course of malignant melanoma in the oral region is worse than oral squamous cell carcinoma and that treatment by radiotherapy is effective in prolonging the life of these patients.

TL;DR: It is possible that cellular factors provide the main form of defense against mucocutaneous infection, whereas humoral factors play a larger role in the prevention of dissemination of Candida infections.

TL;DR: Avoidance of intermaxillary fixation seems to reduce the incidence of condylar resorption after orthognathic surgery in patients with a mandibular deficiency with high mandIBular plane angle.

TL;DR: The need to change the procedure of extraoral ligation for control of hemorrhage in the floor of the mouth is demonstrated and the submental artery or its parent facial artery should first be ligated to insure satisfactory hemostasis in this region.

TL;DR: The lymphoid element in lesions such as papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum, sebaceous lymphadenoma, and lymphoepithelial carcinoma are readily recognized as a required diagnostic element and the tumor may be either misclassified or misinterpreted as metastatic disease.

TL;DR: The results of this study showed that TMJ arthrosis is more frequent in older than in younger persons, and indicates that sex and dentition are not major factors for the development of TMJ pathosis in elderly individuals.

TL;DR: Renal transplant recipients had a significantly increased risk of developing gingival hyperplasia, oral candidiasis, and two other conditions that have a well-established association with the immune suppression accompanying HIV infection, hairy leukoplakia and erythematous candidiasis.

TL;DR: Because the occurrence of systemic metastasis in salivary duct carcinoma is such an ominous development largely unresponsive to chemotherapy, antihormonal therapy might be considered on a trial basis for those tumors that are estrogen receptor-positive when conventional therapeutic modalities fail.

TL;DR: A Brazilian family with hereditary gingival fibromatosis was described in this article with multiple affected subjects in four generations and a total of 50 (48%), of 105 at-risk offspring in a family of 132 members were affected, consistent with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance.

TL;DR: It is suggested that thorough oral examinations should be performed on all patients before radiotherapy that involves the oral cavity, as well as follow-up visits revealed that 59 of patients did not seek the indicated treatment.

TL;DR: Two new methods are described, clinical microdialysis and superfusion of dental pulp, which provide data on the pharmacology of peripheral neuropeptide and inflammatory mediator release, and provide a biochemically based approach toward determining the mechanisms and management of orofacial pain.
