background and aim: oral mucosal lesions have various prevalence rates among different populations. few studies have evaluated the frequency of oral mucosal lesions in iranian population. this study aimed to determine the frequency of oral mucosal lesions and the related factors.                        materials and methods: this descriptive study was conducted based on the data in the archives...

introduction: diode laser with wavelengths ranging from 810 to 980 nm in a continuous or pulsed mode was used as a possible instrument for soft tissue surgery in the oral cavity. discussion: diode laser is one of laser systems in which photons are produced by electric current with wavelengths of 810, 940 and 980nm. the application of diode laser in soft tissue oral surgery has been evaluated fr...

zinc (zn) as a nutritional factor affects the health of the oral tissues. this study was done for the evaluation of the effects of zinc deficiency on the oral tissues of rats. the study was carried out on 14 male wistar rats, cessation of lactation on the 24th day after birth. the rats were randomly divided into two groups. zinc deficient (zd) diet was used for one group and another group was f...

stem cells are of great interest for regenerating disturbed tissues and organs. these cells are commonly isolated from the bone marrow, but there has been interest in other tissues in the recent years. in this study, we evaluated the possibility of isolation of stem cells from oral connective tissue and investigated their characteristics.in this experimental study, sampling from the bone marrow...

background and objective: different mechanisms may lead to the development of soft tissue tumor-like lesions in the oral cavity. many of these lesions can be identified as specific entities on the basis of their histopathological features and are divided into fibrous, vascular, and giant cell types. the purpose of this study was to establish the relative prevalence of the different histopatholo...

introduction: peripheral reactive lesions of soft tissue are common oral lesions that dentists face during routine examinations. diagnosis and development of a treatment plan is difficult if dentists are not aware of the prevalence and clinical symptoms of these lesions. the frequency of these lesions differs across various populations. the aim of this study was to determine the frequency and d...

soft tissue-implant interface is an important anatomical feature contributing to the long-term success of dental implants. based on the available evidence, different factors may influence biological width around implants including the surgical technique, implant loading, implant surface properties, abutment materials, implant position, and width of the peri-implant mucosa. the purpose of the pr...
