AB  - To detect predictive factors for the occurrence of complications associated with unerupted maxillary canines (C). A total of 83 cone beam computed tomograms (CBCT), made from November 1, 2021 to October 31, 2022, have met the inclusion criteria, whereby 110 unerupted C were detected. Independent variables were: gender, age, and C position. Outcome variables were detected complications: external root resorption (ERR) and dilaceration of adjacent tooth, ERR and dilaceration of C, dentigerous cyst, canine ankylosis, and adjacent teeth malposition. Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used to examine the relationship between income variables and detected complications. Vertical position of unerupted C showed as predictor for adjacent tooth dilacerations and malposition. Chance for dilaceration increases 5.5-fold with C position at the middle third of lateral incisor (LI) root, while chance of malposition increases 23.4-fold with its supra-apical position to the LI root, in comparison to the C position occlusal to the LI cemento-enamel junction. Age is a predictive factor for dentigerous cysts, with decreasing the chance of their occurrence 1.5-fold with each additional year of age. Early evaluation of the vertical position and timely treatment of C are decisive steps in preventing complications.

AB  - Objective: This study aims to determine and compare the dental pulp and gingival blood flow in patients referred for oropharyngeal radiotherapy (RT) at three different time points: before the start, immediately after, and six months following the completion of RT. The aim is also to evaluate the dependence of the pulp and gingival blood flow on the radiation dose. Methodology: A prospective study included 10 patients referred for intensity-modulated RT (IMRT) in the oropharyngeal region, with at least one intact tooth surrounded by a healthy gingiva. The dose received by each selected tooth and adjacent gingiva was determined according to the map of treatment planning and computer systems. The blood flow measurements were performed using the laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) method. Results: Comparing vascular flows at three different time points, the median blood flow in the dental pulp showed no statistically significant difference (p=0.325), contrary to gingiva (p=0.011). Immediately after RT completion, the gingival flow significantly increased compared to its starting point (p=0.012). The pulp flow correlated negatively with the radiation dose, whereas a strong correlation was noted 6 months following the RT completion. Conclusions: RT caused a significant acute gingival blood flow increase, followed by a long-term (over six months) tendency to return to the starting levels. The dental pulp blood flow is differently affected by higher radiation doses (over 50Gy) in comparison to lower doses (below 50Gy). During RT planning, considering the possibility of protecting the teeth localized near the Gross Tumor Volume as a sensitive organ is recommended.

AB  - Oral carcinoma is the sixth most common malignancy worldwide, with survival rates of approximately 50%. The major type of oral cancer, present in 90% of the cases, is oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The genetic background predisposing an individual to OSCC is complex and largely unknown. Studies have suggested that endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene polymorphisms modulate the cancer risk, prompting us to assess the impact of three functional eNOS gene polymorphisms on OSCC risk. The present study included 50 patients with OSCC and 110 controls. Polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis were used for genotyping of single-nucleotide polymorphisms -786 T/C (rs2070744) and 894 G/T (rs1799983) and variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) intron 4b/a polymorphism. Homozygous carriers of -786 T/C and intron 4b/a VNTR variant alleles paired with a significant increase of oral cancer risk [odds ratio (OR): 3.63, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.08-12.21; P = 0.045 and OR: 11.29, 95% CI: 2.71-47.11; P < 0.001, respectively]. When combined, CC and 4b4a genotypes together led to a 21-fold OSCC risk increase (OR: 21, 95% CI: 2.07-213.29; P = 0.006). Haplotype analysis showed that the C-G-4b haplotype conferred an 11-fold increase in OSCC risk. In conclusion, eNOS polymorphisms considerably influence levels of OSCC risk in the Serbian population.

AB  - Introduction/Objective the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of developmental dental anomalies (DDA) in Serbian orthodontic patients. Methods the sample was composed of 1,001 panoramic radiographs of orthodontic patients, older than seven years, taken as a part of the initial diagnostic procedure at the Clinic of Orthodontics, School of Dental medicine in Belgrade. The DDA that could be diagnosed accurately on panoramic X-rays were documented. Descriptive analysis was used to determine prevalence and sex distribution of DDA. The Pearson ch2 test and Fisher's exact test were used to compare number of affected teeth in males and females (level of significance was 95%). Results the prevalence of DDA in Serbian orthodontic patients was 34.8% (15.5% males and 19.3% females). Impactions were present in 16.5%, hypodontia in 12.9%, hyperdontia in 4.4%, microdontia in 2.9%, macrodontia in 1.8% and transposition in 0.8% of patients. Maxillary canines were the most frequently impacted teeth. Maxillary second molars were more prone to impaction in females (p  lt  0.05). Impacted incisors were more prevalent in maxilla, premolars, and second molars in mandible. The most commonly missing teeth were upper left second premolars. Mesiodens was the most frequently found supernumerary tooth. Conclusion We reported a high a rate of DDA in Serbian orthodontic patients, more in females than males. The most frequently observed DDA were impaction, tooth agenesis, hyperdontia, microdontia, macrodontia, and transposition. All investigated DDA were more frequently present in females, except hyperdontia. Current findings could offer a foundation for epidemiological studies on DDA prevalence.

AB  - Background. Sodium thiosulphate (NaTS) is mostly used in haemodialysis (HD) patients with calcific uraemic arteriolopathy. This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study assessed the effect of NaTS on progression of cardiovascular calcifications in HD patients. Methods. From 65 screened patients, we recruited 60 patients with an abdominal aorta Agatston calcification score >= 100. Thirty patients were randomized to receive NaTS 25 g/1.73m(2) and 30 patients to receive 100mL of 0.9% sodium chloride intravenously during the last 15 min of HD over a period of 6 months. The primary endpoint was the absolute change of the abdominal aortic calcification score. Results. The abdominal aortic calcification score and calcification volume of the abdominal aorta increased similarly in both treatment groups during the trial. As compared with the saline group, patients receiving NaTS exhibited a reduction of their iliac artery calcification score (-137 +/- 641 versus 245 +/- 755; P = 0.049), reduced pulse wave velocity (9.6 +/- 2.7 versus 11.4 +/- 3.6; P = 0.000) and a lower carotid intima-media thickness (0.77 +/- 0.1 versus 0.83 +/- 00.17; P = .033) and had better preservation of echocardiographic parameters of left ventricular hypertrophy. No patient of the NaTS group developed new cardiac valve calcifications during the trial as compared with 8 of 29 patients in the saline group. By univariate analysis, NaTS therapy was the only predictor of not developing new valvular calcifications. No adverse events possibly related to NaTS infusion were noted. Conclusions. While NaTS failed to retard abdominal aortic calcification progress, it positively affected calcification progress in iliac arteries and heart valves as well as several other cardiovascular functional parameters.

From 65 screened patients, we recruited 60 patients with an abdominal aorta Agatston calcification score >= 100. Thirty patients were randomized to receive NaTS 25 g/1.73m(2) and 30 patients to receive 100mL of 0.9% sodium chloride intravenously during the last 15 min of HD over a period of 6 months. The primary endpoint was the absolute change of the abdominal aortic calcification score. Results. The abdominal aortic calcification score and calcification volume of the abdominal aorta increased similarly in both treatment groups during the trial. As compared with the saline group, patients receiving NaTS exhibited a reduction of their iliac artery calcification score (-137 +/- 641 versus 245 +/- 755; P = 0.049), reduced pulse wave velocity (9.6 +/- 2.7 versus 11.4 +/- 3.6; P = 0.000) and a lower carotid intima-media thickness (0.77 +/- 0.1 versus 0.83 +/- 00.17; P = .033) and had better preservation of echocardiographic parameters of left ventricular hypertrophy. No patient of the NaTS group developed new cardiac valve calcifications during the trial as compared with 8 of 29 patients in the saline group. By univariate analysis, NaTS therapy was the only predictor of not developing new valvular calcifications. No adverse events possibly related to NaTS infusion were noted. Conclusions. While NaTS failed to retard abdominal aortic calcification progress, it positively affected calcification progress in iliac arteries and heart valves as well as several other cardiovascular functional parameters.",

AB  - Objectives The aim of this cross-sectional observational study was to compare the prevalence of different oral Candida spp. in patients with Type 2 Diabetes and chronic periodontitis in two oral sites: dorsal surface of the tongue and subgingival area. In order to determine subgingival areas as potential reservoirs of yeasts, this study aimed to find differences in the yeasts' detection between the dorsum of the tongue, as the oral site most commonly inhabited with microorganisms, and subgingival samples. Additionally, potential predictors for the yeasts prevalence were determined. Material and methods Subjects (N = 146) were divided into four groups: group A-healthy individuals without periodontitis, group B-healthy individuals with chronic periodontitis, group C-Type 2 Diabetes patients with good glycoregulation and Chronic periodontitis and group D-Type 2 Diabetes patients with poor glycoregulation and Chronic periodontitis. Samples were obtained from the tongue by swabbing. Subgingival plaque samples were taken by paper points and periodontal curette. Isolation and identification of different Candida spp. was done using ChromAgar medium. In addition, germ-tube production and carbohydrate assimilation tests were performed. Results The prevalence of Candida spp. was higher in diabetics with poor glycoregulation. The most frequently isolated species was Candida albicans followed by Candida glabrata and Candida tropicalis. In 15.6% of cases, Candida spp. was present in the subgingival area while absent on the tongue. Multivariate regression model showed that HbA1c was Candida spp. predictor for both locations. Conclusions Our results confirmed that there are Candida spp. carriers among subjects with clinically healthy oral mucosa. Also, this study identified subgingival areas as potential reservoirs of these pathogenic species. Glycoregulation has been recognized as a positive predictor factor of Candida spp.

AB  - Introduction In clinical conditions vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) is defined as a distance between the two points, one above and the other one under the mouth, while teeth are intercuspidated. As a result of teeth loss, attrition , abrasion or unsuccessful dental interventions the VDO changes. Decrease of VDO not only changes the esthetic appereance of the lower third of the face, but also affects the function of the orofacial system. The objective of the study was to find correlation of VDO and craniofacial measurements among fully dentate subjects. Material and methods the study was performed at the Clinic of Prosthodontics of University of Belgrade from October 2018 until March 2019. The participants included both genders age range between 22 and 24 years, class I occlusion and intact dentition. Twelve craniofacial lines were measured with specially constructed divider. Gathered results were analyzed in SPSS 22 computer software. Mean values and standard deviation were used for data description. Results the results showed statistically significant correlation in values of some parameters in both genders. The proportion of the face was noticed among all participants, and possibility of analyzing face by thirds. Also the correlation was noticed between the lower facial height and the height of right ear as well as bi-pupillary distance where with increasing distance of bi-pupillary line, the value of the lower facial height was also increased. Statistical significance in values of both genders was noticed in middle facial height (p = 0.006), lower facial height/ vertical dimension of occlusion (p = 0.004), width of nose (p = 0.01), Frankfurt plane (p = 0.008), height of the right ear (p = 0.000). Conclusion Obtained results showed correlation between VDO and craniofacial dimension among young adults with intact dentition.

Kao posledica gubitka zuba usled atricije, abrazije, odnosno neuspešnih stomatoloških intervencija VDO se menja i ne utiče samo na estetski izgled donje trećine lica već i na funkciju mastikatornog aparata. Cilj ovog rada bio je da se utvrdi povezanost vrednosti VDO i kraniometrijskih dimenzija kod pacijenata sa intaktnom denticijom.

AB  - Introduction/Objective The purpose of this study was to compare polypropylene and silk suture materials in terms of bacterial adherence and clinical features including the impact on soft tissue healing. Methods Ten healthy patients were included in this study. Unilateral upper and lower wisdom teeth were extracted at the same time and wounds were sutured with different threads (one monofilament - polypropylene - and one multifilament - silk suture). Stitches were removed seven days postoperatively. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze bacterial adherence. Intraoperative handling and ease of removal were assessed with the help of Visual Analogue Scale. Landry healing index was used for evaluation of soft tissue healing. Results Significantly more pronounced bacterial adherence was found on silk compared to polypropylene sutures (p = 0.005). Superior intraoperative handling properties were registered suturing with polypropylene compared to silk (p = 0.005). Soft tissue healing was significantly better around polypropylene sutures, both on the third and the seventh postoperative day (p = 0.016). Patient discomfort was slightly higher for polypropylene sutures, but without statistical significance. Conclusion Polypropylene suture material showed significantly lower bacterial adherence and superior clinical features compared to silk, including better soft tissue healing.

AB  - Background/Aim: The aim of this study was to examine prevalence of different Candida spp. at diabetics and nondiabetics wearing dentures without clinical signs of Denture Stomatitis (DS) and to study if some local and systematic factors are confounders for harboring Candida at these subjects. Material and Methods: Total of 60 subjects wearing partial or complete upper acrylic denture having at least half of palatal mucosa covered by denture were selected and stratified into three experimental groups: systematically health subjects; patients with diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and good glycoregulation; and T2D subjects with poorly regulated blood sugar level. Cotton swab samples were obtained from each patient from hard palate mucosa and denture surface. Swab cultures were made on Sabouraud dextrose agar and ChromAgar Media for distinciton of various Candida spp. Density growth was also measured. Results: Frequency of Candida spp. findings were similar between groups. At healthy subjects, only C.albicans was detected. At diabetics, C.albicans was the most common isolated species, followed by C.glabrata and C.tropicalis. Negative finding of yeasts on palatal mucosa, but positive on denture surface were detected at all groups, with the highest frequency (33.4%) at diabetics with poor glycoregulation. Denture surface was heavier colonized than hard palate mucosa. Duration of diabetes in years were only independent predictors for harboring Candida spp. at denture surface (Exp B=1.186, CI=1.047-1.344, p=0.007). Conclusions: Prosthesis of denture wearers without DS may serve as reservoir of Candida spp. Presence of more pathogenic and resistant non-albicans species are related to diabetics, even without clinical signs of DS.

AB  - Introduction Removable partial denture (RPD) is common treatment option for unilateral partially edentulous patients not indicated for implant therapy. Unilateral complex partial denture (UCPD) could be an alternative approach to RPD treatment, but there is lack of evidence about UCPD treatment outcomes during the long-term clinical performance. The aim of this study was to use periodontal, prosthodontic and participant satisfaction measures to evaluate the long-term clinical performance of UCPD. Material and methods This 5 year follow-up clinical study evaluated pocket probing depth (PPD) and vertical clinical attachment loss (CAL-V) of direct abutment (DA), indirect abutment (IA) and control teeth (CT). Also complications and failures of UCPD were analysed using questionnaire of participant satisfaction with UCPD (stability, comfort and manipulation). Results Evaluation of data showed that CAL-V and PPD significantly increased over time for DA, IA and CT (p lt 0.0001), but the tooth function (DA, IA and CT) did not significantly influence changes in PPD and CAL-V. The fracture of one abutment tooth and increase of the number of artificial teeth deformations (p=0.039) were observed after 5 years. Participant satisfaction with denture after 1 year and 5 years vs. 7 days was significantly improved. Conclusion Despite limitations of this clinical study and assuming regular oral maintenance with proper indication, UCPD might be considered as good treatment option for Kennedy II rehabilitation in patients not indicated for implant therapy or who cannot tolerate extensive RPD design.

AB  - Background: Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is an intraoral burning or dysaesthetic sensation, recurring daily for more than two hours during the period longer than 3 months. The objective was to evaluate and analyse the efficacy of serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine on psychological factors, as well as on pain in participants with BMS. Methods: In a 6-month study, 100 participants with primary and secondary BMS were divided into two groups-fluoxetine and control (placebo) and examined by the dentist and the neurologist. Depression and anxiety were estimated by Hamilton Scale for Depression (HAM-D) and Anxiety (HAM-A) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the pain intensity by visual analogue scale (VAS). Results: Mean age of the participants was 60.33 in fluoxetine group and 67.4 in control group. Most of the participants were female-74% in the fluoxetine and 78% in the control group. Statistical difference between the fluoxetine and the control group was found in HAM-D results (P  lt  .05). Values of other scales and VAS decreased significantly after the therapy in both groups (P  lt  .05). Conclusions: Our trial results indicate that fluoxetine therapy not only improves the psychological status of participants with BMS but also fluoxetine decreases the intensity of pain in these patients.

AB  - Introduction. This paper presents the results of a research conducted among senior high school students in northern Kosovo and Metohija on their knowledge about sexually transmitted infections, emphasizing their awareness and sources of information, as well as their sexual behavior and use of contraceptives. Material and Methods. The survey of senior high school students was done using a previously prepared anonymous questionnaire which was followed by statistical processing of fully completed questionnaires. Results. The research included students aged 17 to 19; 63% were females and 37% males; 35.8% were sexually active. The correct definition of sexually transmitted infections was identified by 49%. School was the source of information on these infections for 45.6% of students and biology class for 45.7%. There were 40.6% sexually active male respondents and 33.0% of female (on average, 18 years old). Of the surveyed students of both sexes, 40.6% became sexually active at the age of 17. Condom use was reported by 49% of respondents of both sexes, whereas 50.8% of sexually active students always used condoms. There were 38.7% (38.9% girls, 38.4% boys) of students who used condoms for protection against sexually transmitted infections, and 58.1% of them personally decided whether to use them. Conclusion. The majority of our respondents were able to identify the correct definition of sexually transmitted infections, and they most often heard of the human immunodeficiency virus/ acquired immune deficiency syndrome. School was their most common source of information, biology class, and a considerable number were informed about this issue on the Internet. The majority of sexually active girls did not use any contraceptives. School curricula and parent-child relationships should have a greater impact on the youth's awareness of reproductive health.
AB  - Uvod. Rad prikazuje rezultate anketiranja učenika završnih razreda srednjih škola na severnom Kosovu i Metohiji o polno prenosivim infekcijama, njihovoj obaveštenosti i izvorima informisanja, njihovoj seksualnoj aktivnosti i korišćenju kontraceptivnih sredstava. Materijal i metode. Anketiranje učenika završnih razreda srednjih škola na severu Kosova i Metohije prethodno pripremljenim anonimnim upitnikom. Statistički su obrađeni kompletno popunjeni upitnici. Rezultati. Istraživanjem su obuhvaćeni učenici od 17 do 19 godina, 63% ženskog i 37% muškog pola; 35,8% ispitanika je seksualno aktivno. Tačnu definiciju polno prenosivih infekcija prepoznalo je 49% anketiranih učenika. Škola je izvor informisanosti o polno prenosivim infekcijama za 45,6% učenika, a za 45,7% anketiranih časovi biologije u školi. Seksualno je aktivno 40,6% učenika i 33% učenica; oni imaju prosečno 18 godina. Polno aktivno pre sedamnaeste godine postalo je 40,6% anketiranih učenika. Većina seksualno aktivnih ispitanika, 49%, oba pola koristi kondom kao kontraceptivno sredstvo. Uvek koristi kondom 50,8% polno aktivnih učenika. Seksualno aktivni ispitanici koriste kondom zbog zaštite od polno prenosivih infekcija ̶ 38,7% (38,9% učenica i 38,4% učenika), a 58,1% lično odlučuje o njihovoj primeni. Zaključak. Većina naših ispitanika je prepoznala tačnu definiciju polno prenosivih infekcija, a najčešće su čuli za infekciju virusom humane imunodeficijencije/sindrom stečene imunodeficijencije. Ispitanici su najčešće bili obavešteni u školi, na časovima biologije, a znatan broj je informisan o ovom problemu putem interneta. Školski sadržaji i razgovor sa roditeljima bi trebalo značajnije da utiču na svest mladih o reproduktivnom zdravlju.

abstract = "Introduction. This paper presents the results of a research conducted among senior high school students in northern Kosovo and Metohija on their knowledge about sexually transmitted infections, emphasizing their awareness and sources of information, as well as their sexual behavior and use of contraceptives. Material and Methods. The survey of senior high school students was done using a previously prepared anonymous questionnaire which was followed by statistical processing of fully completed questionnaires. Results. The research included students aged 17 to 19; 63% were females and 37% males; 35.8% were sexually active. The correct definition of sexually transmitted infections was identified by 49%. School was the source of information on these infections for 45.6% of students and biology class for 45.7%. There were 40.6% sexually active male respondents and 33.0% of female (on average, 18 years old). Of the surveyed students of both sexes, 40.6% became sexually active at the age of 17. Condom use was reported by 49% of respondents of both sexes, whereas 50.8% of sexually active students always used condoms. There were 38.7% (38.9% girls, 38.4% boys) of students who used condoms for protection against sexually transmitted infections, and 58.1% of them personally decided whether to use them. Conclusion. The majority of our respondents were able to identify the correct definition of sexually transmitted infections, and they most often heard of the human immunodeficiency virus/ acquired immune deficiency syndrome. School was their most common source of information, biology class, and a considerable number were informed about this issue on the Internet. The majority of sexually active girls did not use any contraceptives. School curricula and parent-child relationships should have a greater impact on the youth's awareness of reproductive health., Uvod. Rad prikazuje rezultate anketiranja učenika završnih razreda srednjih škola na severnom Kosovu i Metohiji o polno prenosivim infekcijama, njihovoj obaveštenosti i izvorima informisanja, njihovoj seksualnoj aktivnosti i korišćenju kontraceptivnih sredstava. Materijal i metode. Anketiranje učenika završnih razreda srednjih škola na severu Kosova i Metohije prethodno pripremljenim anonimnim upitnikom. Statistički su obrađeni kompletno popunjeni upitnici. Rezultati. Istraživanjem su obuhvaćeni učenici od 17 do 19 godina, 63% ženskog i 37% muškog pola; 35,8% ispitanika je seksualno aktivno. Tačnu definiciju polno prenosivih infekcija prepoznalo je 49% anketiranih učenika. Škola je izvor informisanosti o polno prenosivim infekcijama za 45,6% učenika, a za 45,7% anketiranih časovi biologije u školi. Seksualno je aktivno 40,6% učenika i 33% učenica; oni imaju prosečno 18 godina. Polno aktivno pre sedamnaeste godine postalo je 40,6% anketiranih učenika. Većina seksualno aktivnih ispitanika, 49%, oba pola koristi kondom kao kontraceptivno sredstvo. Uvek koristi kondom 50,8% polno aktivnih učenika. Seksualno aktivni ispitanici koriste kondom zbog zaštite od polno prenosivih infekcija ̶ 38,7% (38,9% učenica i 38,4% učenika), a 58,1% lično odlučuje o njihovoj primeni. Zaključak. Većina naših ispitanika je prepoznala tačnu definiciju polno prenosivih infekcija, a najčešće su čuli za infekciju virusom humane imunodeficijencije/sindrom stečene imunodeficijencije. Ispitanici su najčešće bili obavešteni u školi, na časovima biologije, a znatan broj je informisan o ovom problemu putem interneta. Školski sadržaji i razgovor sa roditeljima bi trebalo značajnije da utiču na svest mladih o reproduktivnom zdravlju.",

AB  - Background Psychological discomfort, physical disability and functional limitations of the orofacial system have a major impact on everyday life of patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). In this study we sought to determine short and long term effects of stabilization splint (SS) in treatment of TMDs, and to identify factors influencing its efficacy. Methods MEDLINE, Web of Science and EMBASE were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing SS to: non-occluding splint, occlusal oral appliances, physiotherapy, behavioral therapy, counseling and no treatment. Random effects method was used to summarize outcomes. The effect estimates were expressed as odds ratio (OR) or standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence interval. Subgroup analyses were carried out according to the use of Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC/TMD) and TMDs origin. Strength of evidence was assessed by GRADE. Meta-regression was applied. Results Thirty three eligible RCTs were included in meta-analysis. In short term, SS presented positive overall effect on pain reduction (OR 2.08; p = 0.01) and pain intensity (SMD -0.33; p = 0.02). Subgroup analyses confirmed SS effect in studies used RDC/TMD and revealed its effect in patients with TMDs of muscular origin. Important decrease of muscle tenderness (OR 1.97; p = 0.03) and improvement of mouth opening (SMD -0.30; p = 0.04) were found. SS in comparison to oral appliances showed no difference (OR 0.74; p = 0.24). Meta-regression identified continuous use of SS during the day as a factor influencing efficacy (p = 0.01). Long term results showed no difference in observed outcomes between groups. Low quality of evidence was found for primary outcomes. Conclusion SS presented short term benefit for patients with TMDs. In long term follow up, the effect is equalized with other therapeutic modalities. Further studies based on appropriate use of standardized criteria for patient recruitment and outcomes under assessment are needed to better define SS effect persistence in long term.

AB  - The aim of this study was to assess TERT-CLPTM1L single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs402710 C/T in the CLPTM1L gene; rs2736100 A/C and rs2736098 G/A in the TERT gene) as risk factors for development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and to investigate the relationship between the analyzed polymorphisms, relative telomere length (RTL), telomerase expression and clinicopathologic characteristics of OSCC in a Serbian population. Paraffin-embedded tumor samples and buccal swabs from cancer-free controls were genotyped using PCR-RFLP, while tumor RTL values and telomerase expression were estimated by real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively. CLPTM1L rs402710 and TERT rs2736100 polymorphisms were associated with a significantly increased risk of OSCC, and TERT rs2736098 with a significantly decreased risk. No significant association was found between TERT-CLPTM1L polymorphisms, tumor RTL values, telomerase expression, and clinicopathologic features, although a trend towards longer telomeres was evident in telomerase-positive samples and less advanced tumors. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that patients with longer telomeres in their tumors had significantly better overall survival than patients with shorter telomeres. Our research seems to provide strong evidence for an association between CLPTMIL rs402710C/T and TERT rs2736100A/C SNPs and the risk of OSSC, and suggests that higher tumor RTL values and positive hTERT expression may be applicable as early prognostic markers.

AB  - The purpose of this study was to detect Candida spp. on the tongue and in the subgingival sites in healthy and type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with chronic periodontitis (CP), and to compare the accuracy of sampling methods. This study included 131 patients divided into four groups: healthy control (group A), nondiabetics + CP (Group B), diabetics with good metabolic control + CP (group C) and diabetics with poor glycoregulation + CP (Group D). Cotton swab samples from tongue and subgingival samples were obtained from each patient with help of sterile paper points and a sterile curette. Swab cultures were made on Sabouraud dextrose agar. The number of CFUs was counted. The sampling methods for subgingival plaque were compared by Receiving Operator Curve (ROC). The presence of Candida spp. on the tongue was statistically significant among groups (group D vs. others three groups:.2: p  lt  0.005 for each group). Positive findings of subgingival Candida spp. did not differ among the groups. There were no significant differences in the quantification of Candida spp., neither on the tongue, nor in the subgingival samples. 17.2% of diabetic patients revealed the presence of Candida spp. in the subgingival samples, with negative finding on tongue. There was a significant difference in the sampling methods for subgingival plaque (p = 0.000). Candida spp. is more prevalent on the tongue of diabetics. The sampling of subgingival plaque by a sterile curette is more accurate than with paper points. Subgingival plaque may represent a reservoir of commensals. It is necessary to standardize the sampling of subgingival plaque.
