An incidental radiolucent lesion involving the angle of the mandible
A 58-year-old white female was referred to the oral and maxillofacial surgeon for evaluation of a soft tissue lesion on the left lower lip with a clinical impression of mucocele. At the time of the appointment, the lesion had significantly decreased in size. The clinical diagnosis of a resolving mucocele was established and the patient decided to monitor the lesion. Extra-oral and intra-oral examination failed to reveal any significant asymmetry or mass effect besides the referred area on the lower lip.

Review of the studies on the relationship and treatment of anterior disk displacement and dentofacial deformity in adolescents
Anterior disk displacement (ADD) is a common type of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangement. In adolescents, the relationship between ADD and dentofacial deformities are brought into focus. Whether treatment is needed, or what kind of treatment are effective are still without a consensus. From the literature review, the consequences of ADD without treatment and the effect on disk repositioning were summarized. The results showed that after ADD, condylar height was prone to reduce that may lead to or aggravate dentofacial deformities in adolescents.

Incidental finding on the posterolateral border of the tongue in a 16-year-old female
A 16-year-old female presented for routine dental care. On initial examination, a single, well-defined, sessile, firm exophytic submucosal lesion was detected on the right posterolateral border of the tongue. The lesion presented as a smooth pink dome-shaped nonulcerated mass. It was non-tender to palpation. According to the patient, it had been present for several years (Figures 1 and 2). At the time of presentation, the patient did not have fever, fatigue, airway obstruction, or lymphadenopathy. (Source: Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and Endodontics)

Comparison of trabecular bone structure in individuals with healthy periodontium and Stage III/IV, grade C periodontitis by fractal analysis
The aim was to perform fractal analysis (FA) to compare differences in trabecular microarchitecture in interdental and antegonial regions on panoramic radiographs in periodontally healthy subjects and those with stage III/IV grade C periodontitis, and compare the effects of patient age and sex on FA results.

Immunohistochemical comparative analysis of tumor stem cell biomarkers in pleomorphic adenoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma of salivary glands
This study aimed to compare the immunoexpression profile of tumor stem cell (TSC) biomarkers CD44, ALDH1, OCT4, and SOX2 in salivary gland tumors (SGTs).Study design: Sixty tissue specimens of salivary gland tumors (SGTs), including 20 pleomorphic adenomas (PAs), 20 adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACCs), and 20 mucoepidermoid carcinomas (MECs), in addition to 4 samples of normal glandular tissue, were subjected to immunohistochemistry. The expression of the biomarkers in the parenchyma and stroma was evaluated. (Source: Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and Endodontics)

Novel mutations in GJA1 in two Brazilian families with oculodentodigital dysplasia
Oculodentodigital dysplasia (ODDD; MIM #164200), a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormal craniofacial, dental, ocular, and digital features, is caused by mutations in GJA1 (gap junction alpha-1) gene and inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. However, an autosomal recessive pattern is also reported. Here we described 2 families with members affected by ODDD. In the first family, the c.752G>C (p.S251T) and c.848C>T (p.P283L) heterozygous missense mutations and the c.825C>T (p.T275T) silent mutation were identified in the proband, that showed mild ODDD phenotypes, and in his mother, that displayed hemolytic an...
