Local Single-Dose Teriparatide Administration for BRONJ Prevention: Insights from a Rat Model Study.

Background: Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) presents significant clinical challenges with uncertain treatment outcomes. Teriparatide, a fragment of human parathyroid hormone, shows potential in prevention strategies for BRONJ.

Objective: This study investigates the impact of a single local dose of teriparatide on BRONJ prevention in an animal model.

Effect of buccal fat autotransplantation on improving the alveolar socket bone regeneration: An in-vivo study.

Background: There are various materials used for socket preservation following dental extraction. The aim of the present animal study was to histologically investigate the efficacy of buccal fat autotransplantation on alveolar bone regeneration following dental extraction.

Study Design: In this prospective, double-blind laboratory experiment with a split-mouth design, 16 mandibular second premolar teeth in eight beagle dogs were extracted, and half of the extraction sockets were randomly filled using buccal fat autotransplantation.

Effect of the absorption rate of suture material on oral mucosal scar formation: A triple-blind randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: Extensive oral mucosal scar formation following LeFort-I osteotomy can pose patients with several scar-related complications in case of function as well as cosmesis. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of the absorption rate of and on oral mucosal scar formation.

Material And Methods: In a triple-blind randomized controlled trial study, and were used randomly for wound closure on the left and right sides of the incision line.

The effect of micro-osteoperforation on root resorption, pulp vitality, and biological changes of teeth subjected to orthodontic tooth movement: A systematic review study.

Background: These days minimally invasive micro-osteoperforation (MOPs) has accelerated orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). However, there are some conflicting reports about their various impacts; hence, the present systematic review study aimed to evaluate the effect of MOP on root resorption, pulp vitality, and the biological changes of teeth subjected to OTM.

Materials And Methods: Search in electronic databases of English literature including PubMed, Scopus, Web of sciences, Cochrane, and Google scholar as well as a manual search was performed from 2013 to 2022.

Evaluation of the effect of green tea extract on postoperative pain management following surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molar.

Background: Pain following surgical removal of impacted molars has remained a principal concern among practitioners. Since green tea has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, the current study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of green tea extract local application in controlling postoperative pain following surgical extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar teeth.

Materials And Methods: In a double-blinded randomized controlled trial study with a split-mouth design, 32 patients underwent bilateral removal of impacted third molars in a 2-month time interval; afterward, the sterile gauzes impregnated with green tea extract and saline were applied randomly to the surgical sites.

Evaluation of Blood Levels of Omentin-1 and Orexin-A in Adults with Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background and objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can be related to changes in the levels of adipokines and neuropeptides, which in turn may affect the energy balance components of neuronal cells. Herein, a systematic review and meta-analysis checked the changes in serum/plasma levels of omentin-1 (OM-1: an adipokine) and orexin-A (OXA: a neuropeptide) in adults (age > 18 years old) with OSA (aOSA) compared to controls. Materials and methods: Four databases (Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus) were systematically searched until 14 November 2022, without any restrictions.

Effect of Dexmedetomidine Added to Lidocaine Cartridge on the Level of Patient Sedation, Cooperation, and Patient and Surgeon Satisfaction during Mandibular Third-Molar Extraction Surgery: A Randomized Double-Blind Controlled Trial.

Background: Various methods have been introduced for anxiety control during third-molar extraction surgery. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is known to have analgesic, anxiolytic, and sympatholytic properties with minimal adverse effects. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the local injection of the combination of DEX and Lidocaine on patients' anxiety and the surgeon's satisfaction during third-molar extraction surgery.

Midface advancement in an adult patient with Crouzon syndrome: Modified LeFort III + LeFort I osteotomy accompanied by genioplasty and nasal dorsum augmentation.

Crouzon syndrome is an autosomal dominant trait, leading to midface deficiency, undeveloped orbits, short nasal dorsum, and exophthalmos as the typical clinical features. Early correction of craniofacial problems can improve patients' quality of life, but many of these patients with Crouzon syndrome are seeking treatment in older ages when they are missed for multidisciplinary management and distraction technique in proper timing. Modified LeFort III osteotomy is one of the treatment options that can be used for proper resolution in adult patients.

Evaluation of the CBCT imaging accuracy in the volumetric assessment of unilateral alveolar cleft.

Introduction: Appropriate radiographic evaluation is a fundamental step for determining the topography of the defect before the surgical intervention for alveolar bone grafting. Evaluation of cleft volume by CBCT has been done in dry skull samples in previous studies and it was recommended as an effective tool in the volumetric evaluation of the bone defect prior to the surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of preoperative clinical use of CBCT imaging in determining the alveolar cleft volume.
