objective (s): mucoadhesive disc is one of the various routes of drug delivery for curing buccal disease.materials and methods:everydiscs containing 70 mg stem bark extract of ziziphus jujuba were formulated  by using carbopol 934, pvp k30 and gelatin as polymers. discs were made by granulation  and direct compression. discs were standardized based on the total phenol.  properties such as in vi...

Squamous cell carcinoma of the buccal mucosa has an aggressive nature, as it grows rapidly and penetrates well with a high recurrence rate. If cancers originating from the buccal mucosa invade adjacent anatomical structures, surgical tumor resection becomes more challenging, thus raising specific considerations for reconstruction relative to the extent of resection. The present case describes t...

squamous cell carcinoma (scc) is the most common malignant tumor of the oral cavity and one of the ten most common causes of death. it arises from dysplastic oral squamous epithelium. considering the pathogenesis of scc, a smooth and intact surface in this lesion is not a usual finding. in this paper, we report an extremely rare case of oral scc in buccal mucosa presenting as an exophytic lesio...

Background. Tuberculosis is one of the world's health problems, with larger mortality rate than HIV/AIDS. In order to control this disease, a new and inexpensive diagnostic method needed. Oral samples, such as buccal mucosa epithelium, can be an alternative specimen, other sputum, in diagnosis tuberculosis. Purpose. This study aimed analyze presence Mycobacterium tuberculosis on swabbing patien...

Lymphangiomas are hamartomatous lymphatic mutations that happen when tissue is sequestered at few areas not associated with channels. Lymphatic malformations of the head and neck, additionally called lymphangiomas or cystic hygromas, a diverse group lesions. The majority present birth, 90% developing before age two. As much as 75% these arise within neck region less frequently stated oral cavit...

The identification of central neuronal loci that command complex and coordinated behavioral expression offers the opportunity to study basic neural mechanisms that determine whether and under what conditions a specific behavior is expressed. It was previously shown in the isolated nervous system of Pleurobranchaea that the bilaterally paired ventral white cells (VWCs) of the buccal ganglion dri...

Hemangiomas are tumors of blood vessels identified by rapid endothelial cell proliferation in early infancy followed by involution over time. All other abnormalities are malformations resulting from anomalous development of vascular plexuses. This lesion in the oral cavity is not common. Despite its benign origin and behaviour, it is always of clinical importance to the dental profession and re...

Primary squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck usually metastasizes to the regional lymph node, lung, and bone. Ophthalmic metastasis in squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck is uncommon. Most of the ophthalmic metastasis is due to the carcinoma of the breast and lung. Squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity with metastasis to the eye has not yet been documented. We are presenting herew...

A solitary fibrous tumor is a relatively uncommon neoplasm that usually occurs in the pleura but occurs extremely rarely in the oral cavity. Reported herein is a rare case of a solitary fibrous tumor in the buccal cheek mucosa. A 50-year-old man visited the authors' hospital due to a buccal cheek mass whose size had increased. Excisional biopsy was done under local anesthesia. After the excisio...
