Bone turnover rates can be altered by metabolic and mechanical demands. Due to the difference in pattern of loading, we hypothesized that there are differences bone remodeling between maxillary mandibular alveolar processes. Furthermore, a canine model, process teeth lack contact (e.g., second premolars) would have different rate than supporting with functional first molars). Six skeletally mature male dogs were given pair calcein labels. After sacrifice, specimens representing anterior...
Monocortical screws are increasingly being used to enhance orthodontic anchorage. The most frequently cited clinical complication is soft tissue irritation. It thus clinically advantageous for these miniscrews be placed in attached mucosa. purpose of this study was (1) determine radiographically the coronal interradicular sites placement patients and (2) if alignment increases number with adequate bone screws. Sixty panoramic radiographs (n = 30 pretreatment, n posttreatment) were obtained...
Purpose: To investigate if a dental implant system with midsection covered by 3-dimensionally porous tantalum material would exhibit stability comparable traditional threaded titanium alloy and whether bone grow into the section. Methods: Three experimental 3 control implants were placed in individual mandibles of 8 dogs. Resonance frequency analysis assessed at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12 weeks healing. Histomorphometric backscattered scanning electron microscopic analyses examined presence ingrowth...
Abstract The 16S rRNA gene is widely used for taxonomic profiling of microbial ecosystems; and recent advances in sequencing chemistry have allowed extremely large numbers sequences to be generated from minimal amounts biological samples. Analysis speed resolution data species-level taxa are two important factors large-scale explorations complex microbiomes using sequencing. We present here new software, Phylogenetic Tools Species-level Taxa ( PhyloToAST ), that completely integrates with...
In the United States (U.S.), 23% of adults aged 18 or older were reported to have a mental health, behavioral, emotional disorder in 2022 [1]. The prevalence is even higher for young age range that encompass typical dental student (18–25), reaching 36% Navigating through health professional education challenging, resulting elevated levels stress, depression, and anxiety among students [2]. Research indicates U.S. disorders at rates comparable than those medical students, notably general...
Bone remodeling in the jaw is essential for metabolic needs, mechanical demands and growth of skeleton. Currently, there no information on young dogs. Four approximately 5-month-old male dogs were given a pair calcein bone labels. After killing, sections obtained from maxilla, mandible, femur. The specimens regions associated with erupting permanent teeth. Undecalcified prepared examination by histomorphometric methods to evaluate mineral apposition rate (microm/d), mineralizing surface/bone...
Creep is an active form of time-dependent viscoelastic deformation that occurs in bone tissue during daily life. Recent findings indicate mineralization, which involved determining the elastic and plastic properties matrix, can also contribute controlling its property. Nanoindentation viscosity was used as a direct measure for capacity material to resist viscous-like flow under loading. The objectives this study were examine (1) whether nanoindentation obtained using traditional Voigt model...
The effects of surface roughness and carboxyl functionalization multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) mixed with collagen coated onto titanium (Ti) substrates on MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts were evaluated.
Cellular and molecular immunoinflammatory changes in gingival tissues drive alveolar bone loss periodontitis. Since ageing is a risk factor for periodontitis, we sought to identify age-related transcriptome associated with metabolism both healthy naturally occurring periodontitis.Adult (12-16 years) aged (18-23 non-human primates (M. mulatta) (n = 24) were grouped into Gingival tissue samples obtained subjected microarray analysis using the Gene Chip Macaque Genome Array. expression profiles...
Periodontal disease (PD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by the destruction of connective tissue, tooth loss, and systemic infections. Clinically, treatment PD includes control etiologic factors via several modalities: initial therapy including scaling root planing (SRP), corrective phase surgical treatment, both with without adjunct antimicrobial/pharmacological agents, followed maintenance/supportive periodontal phase. Each aims to oral biofilm addressing risk etiology....
Abstract Maxillofacial screws are increasingly being used in orthodontics to provide anchorage for tooth movement. The objective of this study was determine the biomechanical stability as well bone tissue response at 6 weeks postinsertion a canine model. Seven skeletally mature male dogs received 102 (2 × mm or 2 8 mm) predetermined sites. Twenty became loose were lost during 6-week undisturbed healing period. Forty-eight randomized mechanical testing and 34 histology. Peak pullout strength...
Abstract Limited information is available on the mechanical properties of rapidly remodeling bone that surrounds endosseous implants. Fifteen implant‐bone blocks were obtained from mid‐femoral diaphyses three mature male hounds 12 weeks after placement To evaluate microhardness and cortical anisotropy bone, implants sectioned along their long axes. In this process, femurs transversely. Knoop measurements (HK) made with a 50 g force 25 periosteal callus, endocortical circumferential lamellar...
