The 5-year survival rate for oral cavity cancer is poorer than breast, colon or prostate cancer, and has improved only slightly in the last three decades. Hence, new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. Here we demonstrate by tissue micro array analysis first time that RNA-binding protein La significantly overexpressed squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Within this study therefore addressed question whether siRNA-mediated depletion of may interfere with known tumor-promoting...
T he lateral periodontal cyst is a developmental of odontogenic origin which located along the aspect tooth root. Thirty‐seven previously unreported cysts (LPCs) are presented. Clinical, roentgenographic and histologic features LPC reviewed. Further, importance distinguishing from laterally positioned inflammatory pulpal or disease occurring keratocysts stressed.
Ameloblastic carcinoma often poses diagnostic challenges in its separation from benign ameloblastoma with atypical cytologic features or an unusual clinical course. This study aimed to determine whether SOX2 (sex determining region-Y-related high mobility group box 2), a protein expressed the epithelial basal proliferative zone dentigerous cysts, is marker for ameloblastic as well high-grade transformation neoplasms.Immunoperoxidase stains were performed according standard protocol....
A study was conducted on labial salivary gland tumors from four oral pathology laboratories. Of the 103 identified tumors, 87 (84.5%) were upper lip, whereas 16 (15.5%) lower lip. lip 80 (92.0%) benign. Forty-three of these monomorphic adenomas and 37 pleomorphic adenomas. Seven malignant as follows: adenoid cystic carcinomas, two acinic cell one adenocarcinoma. 15 (93.8%) malignant. Thirteen mucoepidermoid carcinomas carcinomas. The only benign tumor an intraductal papilloma. These results...
Although communications competency is recommended by the American Dental Education Association, only a few (n=5) dental schools report evaluating students' skills using examination for communication. This study used an objective structured clinical (OSCE) to evaluate in interpersonal and tobacco cessation communication skills. All students were evaluated on their at baseline six months post-OSCE standardized patients two independent raters. First- second-year (n=104) randomized control or...
