Peripheral Ameloblastoma Of Palatal Mucosa: A Rare Case Report And Literature Review, Filiz Namdar Pekiner, Suay Yağmur Ünal, Hakan Yülek, Gaye Keser

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

Peripheral ameloblastoma (PA), an uncommon and unique form of odontogenic tumor, accounts for around 2-10% of all ameloblastomas. The extraosseous position is the distinguishing aspect of this form of tumor, which is otherwise comparable to a typical ameloblastoma. As late recurrence is also recorded, continuous follow-up is required. A case of peripheral ameloblastoma in a 23-year-old male that affected the right posterior palatal mucosa was presented in this case study. A 23-year-old male patient had an exophytic mass located at the junction of the hard and soft palate, in the palatal neighborhood of the tooth number 18. An excisional biopsy …

Analysis Of Bone Destruction Mechanism By Aggregatibacter Actinomycetemcomitans: A Systematic Review, Erik Idrus, Karenina Raihani Amalia Ardiman, Widya Lestari, Masita Mandasari, Sri Angky Soekanto

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

Periodontitis is a disease marked by inflammation of the periodontium, caused by biofilms present in the oral cavity, and results in alveolar bone destruction. One of the main hallmarks of periodontitis is the presence of Aggregatibacter actinomycetecomitans, which is generally suppressed by antibiotic administration. The strategy to control A. actinomycetecomitans by small specific peptide inhibitors potentially halts the progression of alveolar bone damage while lowering the risk of antibiotic resistance. The detailed interaction mechanisms of A. actinomycetecomitans and bone cells are fundamental to discovering and constructing the specific inhibitor. Objective : To systematically review the mechanism of bone destruction by …

A Fungal Metabolic Regulator Underlies Infectious Synergism During Candida Albicans-Staphylococcus Aureus Intra-Abdominal Co-Infection, Saikat Paul, Olivia A. Todd, Kara R. Eichelberger, Christine Tkaczyk, Bret R. Sellman, Mairi C. Noverr, James E. Cassat, Paul L. Fidel, Brian M. Peters

School of Dentistry Faculty Publications

Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus are two commonly associated pathogens that cause nosocomial infections with high morbidity and mortality. Our prior and current work using a murine model of polymicrobial intra-abdominal infection (IAI) demonstrates that synergistic lethality is driven by Candida-induced upregulation of functional S. aureus α-toxin leading to polymicrobial sepsis and organ damage. In order to determine the candidal effector(s) mediating enhanced virulence, an unbiased screen of C. albicans transcription factor mutants was undertaken revealing that zcf13Δ/Δ fails to drive augmented α-toxin or lethal synergism during co-infection. A combination of transcriptional and phenotypic profiling approaches shows that ZCF13 regulates …

Investigating The Role Of Ebf3a In Craniofacial Development, Shujan A. Sharafeldeen

Undergraduate Theses, Capstones, and Recitals

Proper craniofacial development requires many genes. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) allows us to identify genes expressed in precursor cells for craniofacial structures, but the function of many of these genes in craniofacial development has yet to be characterized. In our scRNA-seq of cranial neural crest cells (NCCs), which are precursor cells for the craniofacial skeleton, we found a gene called early B-cell factor 3 (ebf3a) that may be involved in craniofacial development. In our scRNA-seq data, ebf3a expression is restricted to cranial NCCs of the dorsal and ventral domains of pharyngeal arches 1 and 2. In humans, damaging variants in …

An Unusual Presentation Of Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis: Case Report And Review Of The Literature, Aaron E. Yancoskie, Ghazeleh Peiravani Dds, Jordana S. Rothernberg Dds, Anthony S. Alessi Dmd, Md, Heather Z. Fugazy Dds

The New York State Dental Journal

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a destructive process that may involve both hard and soft tissues. While rare, it has a predilection for the oral and maxillofacial region. LCH occurs across the age range, yet is often diagnosed in the pediatric population. The dentigerous cyst (DC) is the most common developmental odontogenic cyst. It typically presents in young adult patients as a solitary lesion associated with impacted third molars. Here we present a case of LCH occurring in the wall of a DC in a 12-year-old male.
