The oral cavity is a challenging area in head and neck imaging because of its complex anatomy and the numerous pathophysiologies that involve its contents. This challenge is further compounded by the ubiquitous artifacts that arise from the dental amalgam, which compromise image quality. In this article, the anatomy of the oral cavity is discussed in brief, followed by a description of the imaging technique and some common pathologic abnormalities.

Review
Leptin was characterized for the first time 20 years ago as an anorexigenic peptide that acts on the hypothalamus and has since been described as having a key role in the functioning of a great number of tissues. The mouth is one of the areas of the body where this peptide influences processes, such as growth induction and differentiation of various dental and periodontal tissues, modulation of sweet tastes’ perception in the taste buds, swallowing regulation and immune response activation. Moreover, leptin also plays an important role in mediating the response to different oral aggressors, such as periodontopathic bacteria and alcohol, as well as its involvement in certain types of mouth cancer. This review aims to provide an overview of leptin’s known roles on the oral cavity to date, ranging from its function in a healthy mouth to its involvement in oral physiopathology.

Review
The purpose of this review is to give a general description of the discipline of Oral Biology. The different subjects are classified with a short introduction to each one, followed by an analysis of their role in clinical dentistry. Reference is made to various areas of research with emphasis on bone biology, mechanisms of inflammation, oral immunology and oral microbiology. The references stated are representative, aiming to satisfy the reader with a general interest rather than the very specialized one.

Archives of Disease in Childhood Dec 2007A torn labial frenum is widely regarded as pathognomonic of abuse. (Review)
Review
INTRODUCTION
A torn labial frenum is widely regarded as pathognomonic of abuse.
METHODS
We systematically reviewed the evidence for this, and to define other intra-oral injuries found in physical abuse. Nine studies documented abusive torn labial frena in 27 children and 24 [corrected] were fatally abused: 22 were less than 5 years old. Only a direct blow to the face was substantiated as a mechanism of injury.
RESULTS
Two studies noted accidentally torn labial frena, both from intubation. Abusive intra-oral injuries were widely distributed to the lips, gums, tongue and palate and included fractures, intrusion and extraction of the dentition, bites and contusions.
CONCLUSIONS
Current literature does not support the diagnosis of abuse based on a torn labial frenum in isolation. The intra-oral hard and soft tissue should be examined in all suspected abuse cases, and a dental opinion sought where abnormalities are found.

Review
The importance of sensory feedback from the oral cavity is evaluated in the context of functional rehabilitation following ablative surgery using three techniques that restore or preserve sensation. Nerve grafts to restore the continuity of sensory nerves interrupted during ablative surgery, as well as the role of sensate flaps and the protection of palatal sensation following soft palate resection or total glossectomy, are discussed.

Review
Results of studies over the recent years indicate that saliva is one of the most important factors which influence on the oral cavity homeostasis. Human saliva not only lubricates the oral tissues, making oral function such as speaking, eating, and swallowing possible, but also protects teeth and oral mucosa surface against influence of many harmful factors. Knowledge about saliva helps to understand pathomechanisms, to work out the prevention and treatment rules of oral cavity diseases.

Review
The demonstration of S100 protein is used extensively for both research and diagnostic purposes in oral biology and pathology. This article reviews the structure and putative function of S100, technicalities of S100 immunohistochemistry, the cells of the oral and perioral tissues which express S100 and the possible significance of S100 expression in disease.
