The mucosal pellicle - an underestimated factor in oral physiology
Many important physiological processes, such as tasting, eating and chewing food, take place in the oral cavity; saliva is critical to all these functions. Furthermore, saliva provides several protective components to preserve the healthy integrity of the oral tissues (Carpenter, 2013; Dawes et al., 2015; Sreebny, 2000; Villa et al., 2015). How saliva performs all these different functions depends to a large extent on its interactions with the surfaces of the mouth (Amerongen& Veerman, 2002; C. (Source: Archives of Oral Biology)

Lack of pathogenic mutations in SOS1 gene in phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth patients
Gingival overgrowth is a side effect associated with some distinct classes of drugs, such as anticonvulsants, immunosuppressant, and calcium channel blockers. One of the main drugs associated with gingival overgrowth is the antiepileptic phenytoin, which affects gingival tissues by altering extracellular matrix metabolism. It has been shown that mutation of human SOS1 gene is responsible for a rare hereditary gingival fibromatosis type 1, a benign gingival overgrowth. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the possible contribution of SOS1 mutation to gingival overgrowth-related phenotype. (Source: Archives of Oral Biology)

Development of medial pterygoid muscle fibers in rabbits fed with a liquid diet
Masticatory muscles (especially the masseter) affect both masticatory function and the maxillofacial morphology (Rowlerson et al., 2005). Therefore, soft food preferences may decrease the load on masticatory muscles, thereby altering the maxillofacial morphology. The characteristics of masticatory jaw movement and the directions of the fibers vary across the three types of jaw closing muscles, namely, masseter, temporal and medial pterygoid muscles (Weijs, Brugman,& Klok, 1987; Weijs, Brugman,& Grimbergen, 1989; Schwartz, Enomoto, Valiquette,& Lund, 1989; Langenbach, Brugman,& Weijs, 1992).

RNA isolation from alveolar bone and gene expression analysis of RANK, RANKL and OPG: a new tool to monitor bone remodeling and healing in different bone substitutes used for prosthetic rehabilitation
Bone undergoes continuous remodeling, both in physiological and in pathological conditions. Bone remodeling can lead to bone atrophy or progressive bone loss as a consequence of, for example, periodontal disease or maxillo - mandibular traumas; congenital malformations and bone tumors resection in the maxillo-facial area can result as well in bone deficiencies that prompt for bone augmentation, regeneration or reconstruction, in order to carry out adequate patients rehabilitation (Dellavia et al., 2016).
