Fourteen titanium dental implants (Tioblast) were implanted singly in the proximal tibia of New Zealand rabbits for 120 days. A bone defect was surgically produced and filled with Bio-Oss around six of these implants. After the animals were sacrificed and their organs harvested, bone segments were fixed and methacrylate embedded after the push-in test had been performed.

Article Synopsis
  • In dental surgery, when there’s insufficient bone for grafting, bone substitutes can help with regeneration.
  • A study examined five osteoconductive materials in rats, comparing those filled with substitutes to naturally healing defects.
  • The results indicated that while non-demineralized bovine bone excelled in integration, not all materials provided significant healing benefits over natural healing.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed articular disks and loose bodies from patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), chemical composition analysis, and X-ray diffraction (XRD).
  • The results revealed that the main structure of the disks had a central area lacking defining features, surrounded by collagen, while the loose bodies showed a fibrous network and were primarily composed of calcite.
  • The findings suggest that chronic inflammation may lead to changes in the articular disk, while acute inflammation could initiate the development of loose bodies in the joint.

Article Synopsis
  • A study of 12 articular disks from patients with TMJ arthropathy was conducted, comparing them to 2 normal disks.
  • Scanning electron microscopy revealed differences in collagen fiber arrangement, with compact fibers on the surface and varying patterns in the internal structure.
  • The presence of blood vessels in some samples indicated that vascularization may be an early histological change in functionally abnormal articular disks.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated taste disorders in patients who underwent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, comparing their taste thresholds to those of autologous recipients and healthy individuals.
  • Results indicated that allogeneic recipients experienced a significant decrease in their ability to taste salt and sour flavors, while their sensitivity to sweet and bitter flavors remained unchanged.
  • The findings suggest that taste disorders in allogeneic patients may not correlate directly with the severity of chronic oral graft-versus-host disease (G.V.H.D.), indicating a potential area for further research into immune responses affecting taste sensation.
