Although some attempts have been tried to find the genetics of those diseases,still fewer information are available than the other hereditary diseases at present. Much is needed to do in the future. This article reviewed some cutting-edge findings on the genetics of several oral hereditary diseases,including hereditary diseases involving the teeth, periodontal tissues, soft and hard tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region, as well as cleft lip and palate.展开更多

Successful management of these malignancies now requires a cooperative or multidisciplinary approachstrongly evidence based, ordered, even individualized rather than randomized, among a broad group of medical disciplinesincluding head and neck surgery, radiation oncology, medical oncology, medical imaging, clinical pathology and labmedicine, social work, nutrition, and others. Different treatment modalities are mandatory for different primary sites,histopathologic types, different TNM stages and different patients, either dominated by surgery, radiation therapy orchemotherapy, coordinated other modalities. This paper evaluated and summarized current comprehensive and sequentialapproaches to the management of oral and maxillofacial malignancies, emphasizing the importance of multidisciplinaryteam approach to coordinate surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
