Assessing the Impact of Chlorhexidine Mouthwash on Radiation-Induced Oral Mucositis in Head and Neck Cancer Patients: A Pre-Experimental Study
Abstract: Introduction: Cancer poses a major global health threat and is the second leading cause of death worldwide, following cardiovascular diseases, particularly in developed countries. Among cancers, head and neck cancer ranks as the 6th most common, representing about 6% of all cancer diagnoses. One of the frequent side effects of radiotherapy (RT) is mucositis, an inflammation of the mucous membranes. Chlorhexidine, a commonly used antiseptic and disinfectant found in mouthwashes, …

The Role of Tobacco Consumption in Oral Cancer Incidence in Punjab and Haryana
Abstract: Background: Oral cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in India, especially in the northern regions, like the states of Punjab and Haryana, where the prevalence of tobacco consumption, smoking, and smokeless forms, is high. Nevertheless, the specific contribution of different types of tobacco and other risk factors related to oral cancer occurrence in these populations has been poorly investigated. The purpose of this investigation is to …

Review of Hydroxyapatite Coating: Enhances Bioactivity and Osteoconductivity in Natural Hard Tissues
Abstract: Hydroxyapatite (HA or HAP) of biologically (produced from coral, cattle, or marine algae) or synthetic origin is used to repair and regenerate bone in the form of granules, blocks, and scaffolds, either alone or in a composite with polymers or other ceramics, or as a coating on dental or orthopedics implants. From the perspective of enhancing bioactivity, numerous methods for surface alteration and its combinations have been suggested. The composite …

The Effect of Er,Cr:YSGG Laser Treatment to Healing of Orthodontically Stimulated Gingival Enlargements
Abstract: Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the healing process of gingival enlargement in adolescents with and without fixed orthodontic appliances by using erbium, chromium:yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet laser (Er,Cr:YSGG) and scaling-root planning and conventional scalpel for 3 months follow-up. Material and method: 30 patients with gingival enlargement divided in three groups were treated. Control group, without fixed orthodontic appliances, were treated mechanically by scaling-root planning and conventional scalpel only. Test …

Dental Pulp Stem Cells Derived from Wisdom Teeth as Multitarget Biological Modulators of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease: Mechanistic Insight and Translational Perspective
Abstract: Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease are chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disorders with complex pathogenic pathways such as neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, synaptic degeneration, and reduced neurotrophic signalling. Despite the large amount of research, the pharmacological treatments in use offer only symptomatic relief and cannot significantly prevent or slow down disease progression sufficiently; new pathogenetic treatment strategies are necessary. In recent years, stem cell-based approaches have gained interest as potential therapeutic …

Engineered Polymer Composites for Non-Surgical Lip Posture Correction in Facial Paralysis
Abstract: Facial paralysis presents significant functional and aesthetic challenges, particularly through lip posture deficits such as drooping and drooling, often inadequately addressed by traditional surgical or drug-based interventions, especially in debilitated patients. This study explores the application of engineered polymer composites in a novel, non-surgical lip posture corrector designed to statically suspend and correct lip position without requiring surgical or dental support. The device utilizes a precisely formulated blend of polymethylmethacrylate …
