Background: Basal cell carcinoma is the most common nonmelanoma skin cancer, followed by cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. The objective of the current study was to retrospectively evaluate the epidemiology, characteristic variations, histological aspects, and prognosis of basal cell carcinoma of the facial region based on a single-centre experience. Methods: Data from 125 patients admitted to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH), Kiel, for surgical treatment of basal cell carcinomas of the face between January 2015 and April 2021 were evaluated. Results: The mean patient age was 79.58 years, 60.5% were male and 39.5% were female. Six patients (4.8%) had tumour recurrence with no regional metastasis. Seventy-nine patients (63%) were classified as T1. The nose and the temporal region were the most common areas. The mean tumour thickness was 3.20 mm. Conclusions: Micronodular, sclerosing/morphoeic, nodular, and superficial growth patterns of basal cell carcinoma are highly correlated to recurrence, so an excision safety margin is recommended. There is a strong correlation between tumour thickness and recurrence among basal cell carcinoma cases. When completely excised, the recurrence rate for basal cell carcinoma is relatively low.

This study aimed to assess the quality and availability of Arabic-language internet-based information on alveolar osteitis or dry socket. The present cross-sectional study included the first 50 websites that appeared through Bing, Google, and Yahoo search engines for the terms alveolar osteitis or dry socket or alveolitis to evaluate the content, quality, and readability of the available Arabic information. The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) criteria for website analysis, the Health on the Net (HON), and the DISCERN instrument were used to evaluate the quality of the online material. Three metrics were used to evaluate the readability: Simplified Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG), the Flesch–Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL), and the Flesch Reading Ease (FRES) scores. Based on affiliation, dental/medical centers have the highest representation, followed by nonprofit organizations. Visuals like images are moderately used. The reliability DISCREN domain scores indicated generally poor balance in the materials, though relevance is a notable strength. Overall rating (Q16) revealed that the materials are rated as moderately useful overall with relatively low variability (mean: 2.93; standard deviation [SD]: 0.776). Governmental/university websites excel in meeting the JAMA benchmarks. Dental/medical centers and nonprofit organizations showed better overall JAMA performance than commercial websites. According to the FRES scale, the majority of websites are written in a simple, accessible manner, suitable for general users. Most websites offer moderate-quality information (mean = 38.19; SD = 9.035 [range: 22–56]). Most websites had medium-quality data on dry socket without achieving high reliability or usability or treatment risk by the majority of websites with nonprofits websites leading in this regard, followed by dental/medical centers.

Background and Clinical Significance: Large extensive intraoral dental swelling is uncommon in adults, and we report a rare case of large exophytic oral granulomatous tissue. A complete explanation of diagnostic steps and surgical treatments is addressed, as well as a thorough review of the literature, and a discussion of this interesting case is provided to underline the need for recognition of these vascular pyogenic proliferative lesions and discuss proper management based on the underlying cause. Case Presentation: A 21-year-old Afghan female patient who presented with an extensive intraoral pale red, friable lesion that bled easily. It was 15 × 15 mm in size related to the lower second molar, and interfered with occlusion and extended to cover the buccal and lingual surfaces of adjacent teeth. Conclusions: The presentation of this rare large reactive vascular proliferative condition of oral posterior gingiva, contribute to a better understanding and the growing body of evidence on the PG. The findings emphasize the importance of early intervention tailored to the patient’s age, lesion location, and underlying causes and patient education to prevent extensive dental tissue destruction.

Background: To gauge assuming the submucosal (SM) or intravenous (IV) delivery of one injection of dexamethasone is profitable in minimizing obstacles heeding impacted third molar resection. Materials and Methods: The inquiry’s design entailed surveying 90 individuals. Group A (IV), Group B (SM), and Group C (control), each group entailing 30 folks, were all randomized. Groups A and B were delivered 4 milligrams of dexamethasone IV and SM mode correspondingly, while the untreated group (Group C) lacked any steroid. The paired t-test along with the Chi-square test was utilized. Results: When Groups A and B were contrasted Group B exhibited more beneficial for swelling and trismus with a P value of 0.0001, which is extremely significant. Conclusion: Both IV and SM groups exhibited better outcome to a certain extent, but the SM group gave maximum benefit concerning mouth opening and swelling.

Zygomatic implants are necessary approach for severe maxillary atrophy patients, yet online information about them are difficult to understand, hindering patients' ability to make informed decisions. By evaluating these resources, the research aims to identify gaps and recommend ways to improve the accessibility and clarity of online health information.Web sites obtained by using English keywords about “Zygomatic dental implant” on Yahoo, Google, and Bing were included in the present study (August 8, 2024). Web sites were assessed using several tools like: DISCERN, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmarks, and readability assessment indices such as Flesch-Reading-Ease, Flesch-Kincaid-Grad- Level, and Simple-Measure of Gobbledygook scales.Seventy-eight Web site were included where 66 Web sites (84.6%) were related to dental/medical centers, while very few numbers of nonprofit organization Web sites provided information specifically on the zygomatic implant, 2 (2.6%). The highest DISCERN scores were linked to the relevance of content question (4.94 ± 0.24). The currency item of the JAMA benchmark was the most achieved item among Web sites (8 Web sites), most of them met by medical and dental centers, while disclosure was the least achieved item (zero Web sites). Only one Web site was categorized as easy. The overall DISCERN score for the identified websites about zygomatic implants indicated a medium level of quality and the average quality question no. 16 of the included Web sites were 2.72 ± 0.50.This study highlights that while the quality of resources is moderate, their poor readability poses a significant challenge. More reliable and readable Web sites that describe the various maxillofacial treatments of zygomatic implant procedures are needed.

Background and Clinical Significance: Palatal swellings may originate from various pathological disorders. These swellings may include congenital or acquired factors. The posterior hard palate, which contains many minor salivary glands, is a common site for such swellings. Case Presentation: We present a rare case of intraoral palatal myoepithelioma in a 45-year-old Egyptian male with a significant history of smoking. Detailed clinical, radiographic, and operative findings are discussed alongside histopathological evaluation, surgical management, and postoperative outcomes. This case highlights the importance of considering myoepithelioma lesions in the differential diagnosis of posterior palatal swelling. Conclusions: Palatal myoepithelioma is a rare but important benign salivary gland tumor that may resemble multiple other intraoral lesions. A complete clinical, radiographic, and histological investigation is required for a definitive diagnosis. Complete surgical excision achieved a favorable outcome. Increased awareness and reporting of this unusual pathology are critical for deepening knowledge and guiding clinical decisions.
