Correlation of CA19-9 and P57 (KiP2) Expression with Tumor Grade and Invasive Front in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it may be concluded that expression of CA19-9 and P57 cannot be used as determinants of tumor grade. Higher expression of CA19-9 in invasive front of SCC can be representative of local invasion and higher activity of tumor cells in the margins.

Determinants of Oral Health Behavior among Preschool Children: Application of the Theory of Planned Behavior
Conclusion: Based on the current finding, TBP is the important predictor of children ’s oral health behavior. Effective promotion interventions could be designed based on this predictor to help improving the children’s oral hygiene behavior.  (Source: Journal of Dentistry, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences)

Orofacial Pathological Lesions in Children and Adolescents: A 25-year survey in Iran
Conclusion: The most frequent lesions were odontogenic cysts and reactive lesions. The prevalence of lesions was not changed dramatically during the 25 year. The frequency of oral lesions in Isfahan province (in Iran) is different from other regions in the world and even, to some extent, different from other regions in Iran, which is in agreement with the hypothesis of geographical distribution of these lesions.

Quercetin Decreases Th17 Production by Down-Regulation of MAPK- TLR4 Signaling Pathway on T Cells in Dental Pulpitis
Conclusion:Our results indicated that the levels of IL-17, IL-33, and IL-6 in supernatants from patients ’ cultured T cells were increased after stimulation with HMGB-1 following employing quercetin. It also could inhibit MAPK signaling pathway, which subsequently could decrease Th17 production and IL-17. Quercetin could decrease pro-inflammatory cytokines and IL-17 production.

Evaluation of Cyclin D1 Expression in Aggressive and Nonaggressive Central Giant Cell Granuloma of the Jaws
Conclusion: Probably overexpression of cyclin D1 implicates in the pathogenesis of the central giant cell granulomas but it seems that this protein could not be used as a marker for identifying the clinical behavior of these lesions.

Gummy Smile Correction Using Botulinum Toxin With Respective Gingival Surgery
The pursuit of esthetic excellence has become a major goal in the dental treatment and orthodontic treatment. The beauty of the smile is not only constituted by the shape, position, and size of the teeth, but also based on the characteristics of the gingival tissue and conformation of the lips, which should be as harmonious as teeth. Gummy smile is one of the complaints of the patients, since such a situation can influence self-esteem and social relationships. The development of new more conservative techniques may provide a better therapeutic option than surgical procedures, such as the application of botulinum toxin, in ...

Endodontic Management of Calcified Oehler ’s Type IIIb Dens Invaginatus in Permanent Maxillary Lateral Incisor Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography
Dens Invaginatus is a developmental disturbance resulting from abnormal morpho differentiation. It is characterized by an invagination of the enamel and dentin, creating a lumen inside the affected tooth, which may extend as deep as the apical foramen. In the present scenario, calcified Oehler ’s type IIIb dens invaginatus in left maxillary lateral incisor in 23-year-old male patient was seen. As the two-dimensional imaging lacks accuracy in such complicated cases, cone beam computed tomography was used to assess the calcification three dimensionally. Endodontic treatment was performed in two visits, using thermoplastize...

Prevalence of Anaerobic Bacteria (P.gingivalis) as Major Microbial Agent in the Incidence Periodontal Diseases by Meta-analysis
Conclusion: This study indicates thatP. gingivalis is highly present in subjects with periodontal diseases and it also appears in periodontally healthy people, although to a lesser extent. Thus, the presence of P. gingivalis increases the chance of periodontal disease and it can be considered as a main potential risk factor.Key Words  Porphyromonas gingivalis; Periodontal diseases; Chronic periodontitis; Aggressive periodontitis; Gingivitis;  (Source: Journal of Dentistry, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences)

Effective Factors on Oral Health Behaviors of 12-year-old Children in Cities and Villages of Iran: a Path Analysis
Conclusion: Path analysis identified some direct and indirect factors influencing the children ’s oral health-related behaviors. Factors included in this model could only justify a part of oral health behaviors. Thus, other educational models should be considered based on the psychology or social learning theories.Key Words  Behavior; Oral Health; Children;  (Source: Journal of Dentistry, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences)

Activation Toll-Like Receptor7 (TLR7) Responsiveness Associated with Mitogen- Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) Activation in HIOEC Cell Line of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Conclusion: TLR7 is functionally over-expressed in HIOEC cell line of oral squamous cell carcinoma and development of resistance to cisplatin in human oral squamous cell carcinoma might occur through the mechanism involving activation of TLR7 and its dependent signaling pathway.  Key Words  Toll-Like Receptor 7; Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase; Squamous Cell Carcinoma; (Source: Journal of Dentistry, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences)

The Effect of Sintering Program on the Compressive Strength of Zirconia Copings
Conclusion:Within the limitations of thisin vitro study, it can be concluded that compressive strength of the zirconia copings is affected by the sintering time. High compressive strength of zirconia copings can be obtained by shortening the sintering time. Key Words  Compressive strength; Zirconia; Sintering;  (Source: Journal of Dentistry, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences)
