    Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic relevance of β-catenin expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and to explore relationships with the tumor immune microenvironment. Expression of β-catenin and PD-L1, as well as lymphocyte and macrophage densities, were evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 125 OSCC patient specimens. Membranous β-catenin expression was detected in 102 (81.6%) and nuclear β-catenin in 2 (1.6%) tumors. There was an association between β-catenin expression, tumoral, and stromal CD8

    Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of the senescence markers, Decoy Receptor 2 (DcR2) and Differentiated Embryo-Chondrocyte expressed gen 1 (DEC1), in oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) to ascertain their possible association with oral cancer risk. The immunohistochemical analysis of DcR2 and DEC1 expression (along with p16 and Ki67 expression) was carried out in 60 patients with clinically diagnosed oral leukoplakia. Fifteen cases (25%) subsequently developed an invasive carcinoma. Correlations between protein marker expression, histological grade and oral cancer risk were assessed. DcR2, DEC1 and Ki67 protein expressions were found to correlate significantly with increased oral cancer risk, and also with an increased grade of dysplasia. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that DcR2 and Ki67 expression are independent predictors of oral cancer development. Our results evidence for the first time the potential of DcR2 as an early biomarker to assess oral cancer risk in patients with oral leukoplakia (HR = 59.7,

    Abstract The disc of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is located between the mandibular condyle and temporal bone, and has an important load-bearing and stress absorbing function. The TMJ disc presents viscoelastic characteristics that are largely dependent on its collagen fibre and proteoglycan composition and organization. The purpose of this study is to investigate the possible effects of region-specific dynamic viscoelastic properties on stress relaxation during prolonged clenching. Two finite element models were used to compare the stress distribution within the TMJ disc, namely, one with uniform disc material property and another one with region-specific disc material properties. Similar results were observed in both models with slight differences in the location of maximum stress. Larger stresses were observed in all cases for the model with uniform disc material property. Moreover, the higher values for the model with uniform disc material property appeared in the lateral region, while in the model with region-specific disc properties, these values moved to the lateral and central region. This investigation confirms that both models are sufficiently accurate to investigate stress distribution in the TMJ disc, and, particularly, the model with the region-specific disc material properties ensure better simulations of the TMJ disc behaviour.

    Abstract Objective: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is considered the initial step in the invasion-metastasis cascade. The aim of this systematic review was to study the signature of genes involved in the EMT process in oral cancer (OC) confirmed by protein expression and its possible relationship with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) prognostic variables.
    Materials and methods: A search of the scientific literature was carried out with no start date restriction until 17 September 2020 in the electronic databases Pubmed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Scopus, following specific eligibility criteria. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa tool.
    Results: A total of 8 retrospective cohort studies were included, all of them performed in China and with low risk of bias. Overexpression of the genes HNRNPC, ITGA5, HMGA2 and SRSF3, and low expression of ALDH3A1 and ARID2 promote EMT in OC. The more advanced clinical stages of the TNM classification were significantly associated with overexpression of HNRNPC, ITGA5, HMGA2 and SRSF3, and low expression of ARID2.
    Conclusions: HNRNPC, ITGA5, HMGA2, SRSF3, ALDH3A1 and ARID2 genes were associated with EMT process. Over- or under-expression of these genes is associated with worse stages of OSCC and/or worse prognosis of the tumor. Further studies on this topic are needed in different countries to be able to confirm these results, since the detection of these genes can help to know which tumors have a worse prognosis.

    Abstract Parafunctional habits, such as bruxism and prolonged clenching, have been associated with dysfunctional hyperactivity of the masticatory muscles, including the lateral pterygoid muscle. The resultant loading to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is subject to the degradation of bone, cartilage and disc in the TMJ. In this study, we examined the effect of clenching direction on the stress distribution in the TMJ. In this line, we hypothesised that asymmetrical clenching involved in parafunction might result in increased stresses on the TMJ disc as well as on the condylar and temporal articular surfaces. The distribution of stress for various directional loadings was analysed using a three-dimensional finite element model of the TMJ, with viscoelastic properties for the disc. The numerical results revealed that load direction influenced the amount and distribution of stresses on the disc surfaces. In particular, the lateral region of the disc suffered higher stress values. Moreover, the results showed a significant stress relaxation in the disc that revealed its capacity for stress energy dissipation. From the present study, it can be established that during prolonged clenching, the higher stresses are concentrated in the lateral region, which could imply that TMJ disorders related to damage or wear in the disc and the condylar cartilage, overall, occur when lateral dysfunctional displacements are present.

    Abstract Objectives: The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate long-term outcomes of implant therapy in a cohort of immunosuppressed renal transplant patients compared with a matched control group.
    Material and methods: Pharmacologically immunosuppressed renal transplant patients received dental implant treatment between 2001 and 2011. Periodontal, clinical and radiographic parameters were prospectively measured with a mean follow-up of 116.8 months (range from 84 to 192 months). A matched controlled non-transplant sample receiving similar implant treatment in the same time was included as a control group.
    Results: Implant survival rate was over 98% in both test and control groups (100% and 98.84%, respectively). Peri-implant mucositis was diagnosed in 46.80% of the implants in the study group and in 48.80% in the control group. Peri-implantitis occurred in 5.10% of the implants in the study group and in 8.10% of the controls. Wound healing and post-operative pain were similar in both groups.
    Conclusions: Despite the limitations of this study, pharmacological immunosuppression in renal transplant patients did not affect implant outcomes. Renal transplant patients should be carefully controlled periodically after implant treatment.
    Clinical implications: The results from this investigation justify the use of dental implants for the dentalrehabilitation of immunosuppressed patients after renal transplantation provided they follow the necessarylong-term monitoring and regular maintenance of their oral and systemic health.

    Abstract This study aimed to assess the functional swallowing outcomes in cohort of oral cancer patients treated with tumor resection and reconstruction by means of microvascular free flaps. Duration from onset to the last examination was classified into three periods: less than 12 months, from 13 to 24 months, and more than 24 months. Type of feeding, dysphagia, and laryngeal aspiration were the dependent variables, and the study was mainly focused on the data from the multivariate analysis. Fifty-one patients were included in the study. Twenty-one patients had dysphagia, 11 showed stasis in vallecula and pyriform sinuses, 9 experienced laryngeal penetration, and 8 aspirations. Surgery combined with radiochemotherapy was associated with a higher prevalence of dysphagia (p = 0.03). Frequency of dysphagia was higher in the first year after treatment and less frequent after 24 months (p = 0.003). Dysphagia was associated with laryngeal penetration (p = 0.001), and this with aspiration (p < 0.0005). In conclusion, as it seems that the method of reconstruction has a major influence on swallowing, when there are relevant alternatives in the way the reconstruction is done, always the approach should be chosen that reduces dysphagia to a minimum.

    Abstract Objectives: The main objective of this prospective study was to evaluate the long-term outcome of implant therapy in liver transplant patients (LTP). The secondary goal was to assess several implant- and patient-dependent variables, such as peri-implantitis (PI), peri-implant mucositis (PIM), bone loss (BL), and immediate postoperative complications.
    Material and methods: Two groups, including 16 pharmacologically immunosuppressed LTP and 16 matched controls, received 52 and 54 implants, respectively, between 1999 and 2008. After evaluating the postoperative healing, a mean follow-up of more than 8 years was carried out, and radiographic, clinical, and periodontal parameters were recorded to evaluate implant survival and implant- and patient-dependent outcomes.
    Results: The early postsurgical complications were similar in both groups. Implant survival rate was 100% in the LTP group and 98.15% in the CG. PIM was diagnosed in 35.42% of the implants and 64.29% of the patients of LTP group (LTPG) and in 43.40% of the implants and 56.25% of the patients in the CG. PI was detected in 4.17% of the implants and 7.10% of the patients in the LTPG and in 9.43% of the implants and 18.80% of the patients in the CG.
    Conclusion: Pharmacologically immunosuppression in liver transplant patients was not a risk factor for implant failure, nor for the incidence of peri-implant diseases. Liver transplant is not a contraindication for dental implant treatment, although these patients should be carefully monitored during follow-up care.
