In the present study we aimed to bring to the fore the most common bacteria with a role in the production of periodontal disease. We have also highlighted the way in which they act in the oral cavity, the way in which they are grafted onto the structures and tissues in the oral cavity and the concrete way in which they play their devastating role. Knowledge of the types of microbes involved in this disease can lead to the development of methods to eradicate them, so that this pathology, increasingly common especially in middle-aged and elderly people, can be stopped or even treated.

The immunohistochemical staining is employed the D2 -40 antibody in visualizing the lymphatic vessels in prepared tissue sections taken from various parts of the fixed or free (jugular, gingival, papillary, labial) oral mucosa. The lymphatic vessels form rich terminal networks in the superficial structures and in the subepithelium of the oral mucosa. The specific features of the lymphatic networks in both the normal and affected oral mucosa can help the research of the role played by the lymphatic system in a series of mucosal, periodontal or potentially malign conditions.

The oral mucosa is a part of the mucosal immune system, which cannot be dissociated from systemic immune defences. Over 75% of the immunocytes producing immunoglobulin are located in the digestive tract, primarily in the Peyerplates. An impressive number of "standardized" antigens transit the mouth cavity, some of them by means of the upper airway and others along the digestive tract. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For centuries vocal and instrumental musicians faced a series of orofacial health problems: diseases of the neck and facial asymmetry in violinists, problems arising from the lips in trumpeters, dermatitis in cellists, cramps in harpists, stomatitis in oboists, reflections of a developed dyshomeostasis. Our study aims at quantifying the specific dental problems of professional wind instrument players from three major centers of the country so as to establish the management of orodental and implantoprosthetic rehabilitation programs suitable for these patients.

The objective of this paper-was to provide a comparative analysis of the biomechanics of the dento-maxillary device in the case of overdenture on natural teeth and dental implants. The results were collected from a total of 300 patients, using the following means of investigation: radiological examination method, the direct investigation method, the direct method for investigating and measuring the angle of inclination of the above determinant, along with statistic procedures. The results point to a picture where changes in the biomechanics of the temporomandibular joint can be found in very young ages (20-25 years old) and are directly linked to the outbreak toothless and especially its persistence for a long time, which distort the internal anatomy of the joint. Another aspect is represented by the inadequate or unfinished prosthetic restoration by occlusal equilibration. This problem occurs quite frequently and falls in the etiology of temporomandibular joint modifications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the dental office, allergic manifestations can take all forms of immune reactions and are the result of human response to contact with antigens, which are represented by a diverse group of substances, medicine occupying a conspicuous role among them. In the therapeutic arsenal of the physician, there are a number of medicinal substances and materials that may be responsible for triggering allergic reactions: antibiotics, anesthetics, analgesics, iodine substances, acrylic or other synthetic materials etc. On the other hand, the dentist is often faced with oral manifestations of immunological disorders, which may require specific therapeutic conduct and may often become a victim of allergic reactions himself to the different substances he handles. The most frequently encountered type allergic reactions are: skin rash, itching, bronchospasm and less often anaphylactic shock, the most dramatic allergic phenomena encountered in the practice of dentistry.(3) Their incidence is difficult to assess due to their transient nature, without alarming or repetitive symptoms.

Iatrogenesis in dentistry has been and is still a very controversial issue, and at the same time a highly discussed issue. With the appearance of more and more materials in dentistry, as well as the development of revolutionary techniques in this field of medicine, the risk of iatrogenic disorders has also increased. Therefore, in this paper, we propose to address some theoretical and practical aspects of the conduct of medical teams when faced with iatrogenic disorders in dental medicine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Today, thanks to the progress of the research on stem cells and biomaterials, it is possible to develop new kinds of therapies in the field of dentistry. These therapies are called biotherapies. The recently highlighted stem cells within the different pulp organ tissues and especially those in the dental pulp have made possible the development of new therapeutic possibilities, for treating dental pulp injuries. In the case of moderate pulpal lesions, it has become possible to stimulate the persistent pulpal stem cell reservoir with the help of biomolecules. In the case of more severe lesions, which require a total removal of pulpal tissue, a cellular therapy should be considered. The objective of this paper is to present these future therapeutic methods. The results of the research conducted on the dental pulp stem cells, combined with the overall progress of stem cell research, as well as that of tissue engineering, will allow the development of therapeutic alternatives to the current treatments of dental pulp lesions.
