Despite its extensive bone resorption and high recurrence rate, marsupialization is the preferred option in the treatment of odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs). ⋯ Our study suggests that increased Slug expression may enable the second surgery by increasing fibrosis in the cyst wall.

Ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) has been suggested as a possible risk factor for the development and progression of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). ⋯ OPP was lower in POAG subjects than in NG subjects. The observed relationship suggests that reduced OPP may play a role in the development of POAG.

Myxoid soft tissue tumors are rare and diagnostically challenging group of tumors with varied biological behavior ranging from benign, locally aggressive to distantly metastasizing malignant tumors. ⋯ Light microscopic morphology, supplemented by ancillary techniques like IHC, remains the cornerstone for diagnosis of myxoid soft tissue tumors.

To compare the effects of disinfectants on surface roughness of the conventional impression materials following chemical disinfection procedures. ⋯ Among all impression materials, polyvinyl siloxane showed the least surface roughness following disinfection procedures. Impression disinfectants that are specially designed for disinfecting dental impressions resulted in less surface roughness in all impression materials. With this study, it was aimed to obtain a smooth and clear model for the production of correct and compatible prostheses in the laboratory while at the same time purifying the impressions from microorganisms.
