Oral Health and Herbal Medicine
Oral health loss is one of the major problems existing all over the world and is one of the top causes of death when unmanaged. The oral cavity is home to numerous pathogenic microorganisms, some of which are responsible for the progression and development of various systemic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and myocardial infarction. Worldwide, 60–90% of school children and nearly 100% of adults have dental cavities, often leading to pain and discomfort. There are implications for the global economy as well, due to the continuous burden of investing resources to maintain oral hygiene. Not surprisingly, developing countries are disproportionally affected. There is thus an urgent need to develop economical solutions for the treatment of oral diseases.

Oral Health and Aging
Provides a comprehensive review of the assessment and management of older people’s oral health care needs. Discussing recent initiatives to emphasize oral health promotion and prevention, the book describes improvements in pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches for special populations in geriatrics and illuminates the role of barriers to oral health care for older people. Divided into three sections, the book first explores aging and oral health, including age-related changes, epidemiology, nutrition, dysphagia, aspiration pneumonia, xerostomia and hyposalivation, management of periodontal disease and caries, systemic diseases that influence oral health, and considerations for chronic orofacial pain. The second section illuminates the ways in which frailty and other geriatric syndromes influence oral health care in older adults with a special focus on frailty, dementia, delirium and depression, and the delivery of oral health care to vulnerable geriatric populations in long-term care, home care, palliative care, and hospice.
Oral fibroma: diagnosis, histology and management, a literature review and case series treated with laser and surgery
Aims to review the existing literature on oral fibromas, focusing on their causes, prevalence, and treatment options. It also highlights the potential advantages of diode laser surgery compared to traditional scalpel surgery in terms of pain management, bleeding control, healing time, and infection control. A case comparison of two patients – one treated with a scalpel and another with a diode laser – will be presented to show these potential benefits. In conclusion, diode laser surgery was found to be more effective and less invasive than scalpel surgery in managing fibrous hyperplasia.
