Although rare, oral manifestations of hypersensitivity reactions in orthodontic patients pose a significant clinical challenge due to their heterogeneous presentations, and can cause discomfort pain, possibly impacting patients' quality life treatment duration outcomes. This comprehensive review aimed elucidate the oral, perioral, systemic subjects, focusing on with fixed appliances, removable clear aligners, detailing epidemiology, macroscopic microscopic features, allergy testing, implications, specific management strategies. Oral extra-oral (immediate delayed) occur rarely are release metal non-metal ions from appliances. They typically present as erythema, erosive-ulcerative lesions, gingival hyperplasia, histopathological findings showing inflammatory infiltrates. Nickel is allergen, diagnostic tests like patch essential for managing these reactions. Likely prolonged contact tissues, appliances higher risk compared aligners. Early identification removal allergenic materials, combined effective treatments, resolve symptoms prevent recurrence. Keeping dental medical records updated knowing family personal histories helps clinicians choose appropriate materials counsel about potential risks.

Given the need to improve patient knowledge about HPV-related oral lesions, awareness of HPV infection prevention measures, and compliance with vaccination, as well demand for free easy access well-tailored time-saving health information, present cross-sectional study examined accuracy relevant YouTube videos their suitability mass-reach communication vaccination promotion. A video search was performed, using keywords obtained from Google Trends website, until 9 January 2023. Video selection data collection were performed by independent, pre-calibrated examiners. Descriptive statistics on videos' general characteristics, source reliability, popularity, information quality, content topics, vaccination-encouraging/discouraging messages, educational value. Pearson's correlation calculated between value all parameters. Mann-Whitney U test compared very low/low vs. medium/good/excellent vaccination-encouraging -discouraging videos. Most 97 analyzed moderately accurate reliable, 53% had moderate/good/excellent value, 80% encouraged making them suitable communication. The limited role healthcare providers in uploading content, poor dissemination benign malignant may be expanded purposefully other mass media lesions promote which also underscores its potential beneficial effects.
