Abstract DNA nanotechnology has provided new strategies and platforms for cargo delivery. However, DNA‐based nanostructures utilized delivery have mainly focused on static structures passive targeting. Here, inspired by honeybee's natural reaction to hazards, a melittin loaded tetrahedron framework nucleic acid (tFNA) nanostructure, active targeting therapy as “nanobee” is developed. Upon exposure target proteins the cell membrane, tFNA exoskeleton goes through conformation change, leading...

This study aimed to analyze the impact of dental implant restoration on biomechanics temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in patients with posterior tooth loss. Ten healthy volunteers (Control group) and twenty loss (pre-operative Pre group, post-operative Post were recruited. Three-dimensional maxillofacial models maxilla, mandible, dentition articular discs reconstructed. The von Mises stress, contact tensile stress TMJ analyzed. Before restoration, stresses group considerably higher than those...

The impact of posterior tooth loss on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is controversial. Existing studies mainly rely clinical observation, lacking biomechanical research. This study recruited 10 healthy volunteers (Control group) and 20 patients with (PTL group). Three-dimensional maxillofacial models were reconstructed. Finite element analysis showed stress concentration in PTL group, magnitudes much higher than Control especially tooth-missing side. Posterior causes asymmetric TMJ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate stress distributions in the temporomandibular joints (TMJs) with disorders (TMDs) for comparison healthy TMJs. A model mandible and normal TMJs developed according CT images. interfaces between discs articular cartilages were treated as contact elements. Nonlinear cable elements used simulate disc attachments. Based on model, seven models various TMDs established. maximum stresses anterior, posterior, medial lateral displacement (ADD, PDD, MDD LDD)...

Signs and symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction are commonly found in patients with facial asymmetry. Previous studies on the TMJ position have been limited to 2-dimensional (2D) radiographs, computed tomography (CT), or cone-beam (CBCT). The purpose this study was compare differences by using 2D CBCT 3D model measurement methods. In addition, positions between asymmetry asymptomatic subjects were investigated. We prospectively recruited 5 (cases, mean age, 24.8 ± 2.9 years)...

The aim of this study is to compare the differences in stress distributions temporomandibular joints (TMJs) patients with facial asymmetry before and after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) under symmetric occlusions using three-dimensional (3D) finite element method.Ten (Preoperative group, age 24.6 ± 4.8 years) 10 asymptomatic subjects (Control 26.8 4.9 were recruited. After underwent BSSRO, they further assigned as Postoperative group. 3D geometries models mandible, disc,...

Abstract Temporomandibular joints (TMJs) constitute a pair of that connect the jawbone to skull. TMJs are bilateral which work as one unit in conducting daily functions such speaking, mastication, and other activities associated with movement jaw. Issues may arise due various factors—one factor being internal load on TMJ. These issues contribute temporomandibular disorders (TMD). This study aims evaluate mandibular trajectories stress changes during process opening mouth an asymptomatic...

Contacts used in finite element (FE) models were considered as the best simulation for interactions temporomandibular joint (TMJ). However, precision of simulations should be validated through experiments. Three-dimensional (3D) printing with high geometric and loading similarities individuals validation. This study aimed to validate FE TMJ using 3D models. Five asymptomatic subjects recruited this study. mandible, disc, maxilla reconstructed according cone-beam CT (CBCT) image data. PLA was...

The differences of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) morphologic parameters by using two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) measuring methods were compared. Ten asymptomatic subjects (26.75 ± 4.89 years) randomly recruited. 3D models the maxilla, mandible, teeth reconstructed according to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) image data. TMJs measured 2D CBCT method (group A) reconstruction model B), respectively. in each group assessed paired samples t-test, statistical significance was...
