BD exhibited the highest compressive strength (88.8 MPa), significantly higher than the others (p < 0.05). BD presented the lowest values for sorption, 0.12% (24 h) and 0.48% (28 d), which differed significantly from MTA (p < 0.05).

Younger patients had a higher prevalence of tongue cancer and smaller tumors but faced more compromised surgical margins, perineural invasion, local recurrence, regional metastasis, distant metastasis, and second primary tumors. Statistical findings highlighted age-related differences in clinicopathological features and indicated that despite similar overall survival rates, younger patients had a poorer prognosis related to local recurrences, regional recurrences, and second tumors.
