Resonance frequency analysis of dental implants in patients with vitamin D deficiency.
Clin Oral Investig
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated how different levels of vitamin D affect the stability of dental implants, separating patients into four groups based on their vitamin D levels and whether they were taking supplements.
- - Results showed that patients with sufficient vitamin D (Group D) had significantly higher implant stability than those with deficiency or insufficiency, particularly at the baseline measurement.
- - The conclusion emphasized that higher vitamin D levels are linked to better implant stability, suggesting that supplementation is critical for patients with low vitamin D when undergoing dental implants.
This study aims to evaluate the effects of nano-ozone solution (NZS) on canine oocyte nuclear maturation, associated with the alterations of antioxidant and oxidant status and cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), cyclin B1 gene expressions. Oocytes were cultured in four distinct concentrations of NZS (0.5, 1, 2, and 5 µg/mL) and parthenogenetically activated.

Ozone therapy strengthens the resistance to infections by kick-starting antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune modulation systems. Ozone creates a defensive response against oxidative stress in membranes and protects metabolism against reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Previously, proteins that have been associated with these MERC contact sites mitofusin-1 (MFN1) and mitofusin-2 (MFN2) have been found to be downregulated in periodontal disease in vitro. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to evaluate MFN1 and MFN2 in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of patients with periodontal disease compared with healthy controls clinically.

Objective: Infectious status may be life threatening in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of oral status on infectious conditions during the neutropenic phase after HSCT.
Study Design: Seventy patients with various hematologic malignancies were involved.
