Chondrogenic differentiation of mouse CD105+ stem/progenitor cells on amino-group-functionalized biosilica-hydrogel scaffolds
: Mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells (MSPCs) are critical for tissue regeneration. Moreover, CD105 antigen identifies early MSPCs with increased chondrogenic differentiation ability. We hypothesized that amine-(NH2)-functionalized biosilica incorporating hydrogel scaffolds, seeded with mCoSPCs105+ would contribute to creating tissue-engineered scaffolds, capable of de-novo cartilage synthesis.

Is the Porcine Urinary Bladder Matrix an Effective Option in Extensive Skin Defect?
Extensive skin defects (ESD) with exposed bone, cartilage, or tendon are challenging to manage. We hypothesize that using the Urinary Bladder Membrane (UBM) would result in better coverage of exposed tendon and bone compared to the standard skin grafting techniques.

Women in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Population Trends amongst Residents
American dental schools have gradually achieved balance in the sex of dental graduates. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) has remained disproportionately male-dominated. Our aim was to quantify female residents in training programs. We additionally sought to quantify this potential difference across surgical specialties.

Virtual Surgical Planning versus Model Orthognathic Surgery: Can Patients Tell the Difference?
The purpose of this study was to determine if the method of orthognathic surgery planning used - virtual surgical planning (VSP) versus conventional model surgery - influenced patient-perceived post-operative satisfaction. We hypothesize that there is no significant difference in subjective outcomes reported by patients planned with VSP and patients planned with conventional model surgery for orthognathic surgery.

Consumption of Pro Re Nata Inpatient Opioids Following Surgical Treatment of Severe Odontogenic Infections
The purpose of this study was to analyze the pro re nata (PRN) opioid consumption of patients with severe odontogenic infections following operating room incision and drainage using odontogenic infection severity scores. The null hypothesis was that no statistically significant difference in post-operative inpatient PRN opioid consumption exists between patients with infections of higher severity score and lower severity score.

Comparison of Early Post-Operative Hypoesthesia After a Low and Short or Traditional Sagittal Split Osteotomy
The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a difference in postoperative neurosensory testing (NST) score at 6-weeks between subjects that received a mandibular sagittal split osteotomy (SSO) using a low and short osteotomy (LSO) or traditional osteotomy (TRO). The null hypothesis was that no significant difference exists in post-operative NST score between subjects that received SSO with a TRO or LSO.

What is Idiopathic Macroglossia? A case series and review of literature
Macroglossia is pathological condition which resulted in hypertrophy of tongue muscles. It is classified into congenital and acquired macroglossia. Idiopathic macroglossia (IM) is tongue hypertrophy without systemic or genetic causes. This condition has a significant impact on the quality of life, and often require tracheostomy and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) to sustain living. Guidelines regarding treatment for this subtype are scant. The purpose of this project to present diagnosis and management of a series of patients with idiopathic macroglossia.

Oral presentation —case report. regional odontodysplasia: a case report of 10-year follow-up
The present report aims to describe a follow-up presentation of bone sclerosis found in a 6-year-old girl with regional odontodysplasia (RO) and presence of calcifications in a hyperplastic dental follicle (HDF), highlighting their clinical, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), and histopathologic characteristics. A 16-year-old patient was referred to our service to evaluate the presence of a presumable cystic lesion involving the crown of the tooth #13 and also to evaluate a sclerotic lesion in the right mandible.

Oral lesions on a covid-19 patient: an autopsy study to elucidate coinfection
We present a case of a patient who died of complications of COVID-19. A 29-year-old woman presented multiple bleeding ulcerous lesions involving lips and inner lip mucosa. The patient was pregnant (29th week) and presented fever, diarrhea, dyspnea, nausea, dysgeusia, and anosmia in a 27-day evolution until death. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit, submitted to mechanical ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, developed fetal distress, and was submitted to an emergency C-section.

Multiple exuberant maxillofacial osteomas associated with gardner's syndrome
In this report, we describe a case that affects a 21-year-old male patient with an exuberant presentation of multiple osteomas in the craniomaxillofacial region. The patient complained of swelling and facial pain, associated with trismus. Imaging exams showed multiple diffuse radiopaque images associated with craniofacial bones, with greater involvement of the mandible.

A rare case of a recurrent leiomyosarcoma of the buccal mucosa
Leiomyosarcomas are rare malignant tumors that affect smooth muscle tissue. In the oral cavity, leiomyosarcomas are exceedingly rare. The diagnosis is challenging due to the overlap of morphologic findings with several spindle cell tumors. Herein, we reported a rare recurrent case of leiomyosarcoma in a 73-year-old woman presenting clinically as a painful nodule on the buccal mucosa. Microscopically, the tumor showed atypical spindle cells with elongated, blunt-ended nuclei and eosinophilic cytoplasm arranged in a fascicular pattern.

A case report of aggressive ameloblastic fibrodentinoma in an 11-year-old boy
We present a rare case of AFD in a 11-year-old boy, with the chief complaint of swelling in the left face region. There was no history of associated pain or fever and the time of the lesion was undefined. The swelling was firm-hard, extending from the left body to right parasymphysis region of the mandible. The swelling was noncompressible, nonfluctuant, and nontender, with a normal color of overlying skin and oral mucosa.

Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma in a young patient: a case report
Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma is an aggressive malignancy that arises in the epithelial and/or myoepithelial component of a pleomorphic adenoma. A 21-year-old female patient presented at a hospital dental center with a painless sessile nodule on the hard palate. An incisional biopsy was performed and the histopathologic result of a pleomorphic adenoma was obtained. A second specimen was sent for immunohistochemical analysis and revealed fragments of ulcerated mucosa, partially covered by stratified squamous epithelium, which was proliferating.

Metachronous calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor with long-term follow-up
This is a description of an extremely rare metachronous presentation of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) in a 52-year-old woman with a history of synchronous tumors 12 years earlier. The patient presented 2 peripheral CEOTs that appeared clinically as bilateral gingival swellings between the lower first premolar and canine. Both tumors recurred and an additional surgical removal was performed, with no recurrences observed after 3.5 years of follow-up. Eight years after the last consultation, the patient complained of an asymptomatic normochromic nodule of 2.5 cm in the lower posterior gingiva, causing sauceri...
