Objective: To assess the current periodontal status of 35 to 44-year-olds from the Chinese population and to analyse potential influence factors on periodontal disease. Methods: The data of subjects were collected from both urban and rural areas of all 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities of the mainland of China, as part of the 4th National Oral Health Survey. All subjects were aged 35 to 44 years old. In total, 4410 subjects were enrolled in the present study. Each subject was asked to undergo a professional oral examination and to fill in a questionnaire. Periodontal health status was evaluated by probe bleeding, calculus, periodontal pocket depth and clinical attachment loss. The data were analysed using the chi-square test and binary logistic regression analysis. Results: The prevalence of probe bleeding and calculus was 87.4% and 96.7% respectively among the 35 to 44-year-old population. Prevalence of shallow pockets (4 mm PD 6 mm) and deep pockets (PD 6 mm) was 52.7% and 6.9% respectively

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common non-hematopoietic primary malignant bone tumour, accounting for around 19% of malignant bone tumours. It often occurs in the metaphyses of long bones, such as the distal femur and proximal tibia). OS of the jaw is rare, accounting for only about 6% of all OS cases, and the incidence of cervical lymph node metastasis is extremely low, with only a few case reports and small retrospective studies documented in the literature, and OS of the maxilla with contralateral lymph nodes metastasis is even rarer, with no relevant reports to date. In this paper, the present authors report a rare case of contralateral cervical lymph node metastasis of maxillary OS after surgery with no documented ipsilateral involvement and analyse the clinical manifestations, imaging manifestations and treatment of this case in the light of relevant literature. Based on this special rare case, its value and inspiration for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of OS of the jaw are explored.
