Long‐Term Care of OLP Patients: A Retrospective Study From a Single Hospital Outpatient Clinic

Journal of Oral Pathology &Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic immune‐mediated disorder with malignant potential. However, its real‐world clinical course remains incompletely characterized. This study aimed to describe the natural clinical–histopathological trajectory of OLP in a single tertiary centre and to identify factors associated with dysplasia and ...

Autoimmunity and Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
In a microbe‐driven inflammatory environment, peptidyl‐arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes from neutrophils and Porphyromonas gingivalis citrullinate both microbial and self‐antigens. B cell presentation of citrullinated or self‐mimicking epitopes activates T cells that assist B cells in antibody isotype switching, affinity maturation, epitope spreading ...

Unusual Giant Sialocyst Arising From Wharton's Duct: A Case Report

Oral Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Head and neck masses in adults are a common reason for referral to maxillofacial surgeons and otolaryngologists, and most are benign. True salivary duct cysts (sialocysts) are extremely rare, accounting for < 1% of salivary duct lesions, and primarily involve minor salivary glands. Involvement of major salivary glands is exceptional,

Soft‐Tissue Keratocyst: A Report of Two New Cases

Oral Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Soft‐tissue keratocyst (STKC) is an extremely rare lesion whose histogenesis, nomenclature, and biological characterization remain uncertain, largely due to its close morphological similarity to intraosseous odontogenic keratocyst and its completely extragnathic location.

Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome: A Scoping Review

Pediatric Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Loose anagen hair syndrome (LAHS) is a rare, non‐scarring alopecia that may occur sporadically or follow autosomal dominant inheritance. The objective of this study was to review the etiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic features (including trichoscopy, trichogram, and microscopy), natural history, and treatment outcomes of LAHS.

Inflammation and mechanical force‐induced bone remodeling

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Periodontitis arises from imbalanced host–microbe interactions, leading to dysbiosis and destructive inflammation. The host's innate and adaptive immune responses produce pro‐inflammatory mediators that stimulate destructive events, which cause loss of alveolar bone and connective tissue attachment.
