Objective: Previous studies have reported that the noise generated by dental equipment can interfere with the auscultation of respiratory sounds during sedation. Therefore, this study aimed to identify whether positing the acoustic sensor on the chest or cervical position would be least susceptible to interference from dental suction device noise, a prominent noise noted during respiratory sound monitoring during dental sedation.

Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted with 30 students.

Background: Ketamine is an intravenous anesthetic that acts as a channel blocker on the N-methyl- d -aspartate (NMDA) receptor, a glutamate receptor subtype. MK-801 is the most potent compound among noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonists. Ketamine induces loss of the righting reflex (LORR) in rodents, which is one of the indicators of unconsciousness, whereas high doses of MK-801 produce ataxia, but not LORR.

Respiratory monitoring is crucial during monitored anaesthesia care (MAC) to ensure patient safety. Patients undergoing procedures like gastrointestinal endoscopy and dental interventions under MAC have a heightened risk of aspiration. Despite the risks, no current system or device can evaluate aspiration risk.

Background: Dental treatments often cause anxiety, fear, and stress in patients. Intravenous sedation is widely used to alleviate these concerns, and various agents are employed for sedation. However, it is important to find safer and more effective sedation agents, considering the adverse effects associated with current agents.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a risk factor for postoperative cardiovascular and respiratory complications. Thus, intravenous sedation can be a better option than general anesthesia for surgery in patients with severe COPD. Herein, we present 2 cases of analgesia-based sedation in patients with severe COPD who underwent oral surgery.

Background Aims: When cells are exposed to stresses such as mechanical stimuli, they release growth factors and adapt to the surrounding environment H ere, we demonstrated that mechanical stimulation during culture affects the production of osteogenic and angiogenic factors.

Methods: Human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) and human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPLFs ) were cultured under cyclic stretch stimulation for 24 h. Collected of the cells and conditioned media (CM), the gene and protein expression levels of osteogenic and angiogenic factors were evaluated.

Successful osseointegration is essential for dental implants. However, the complete molecular mechanism of osseointegration remains to be elucidated. In this study, we focused on the proteoglycan (PG)-rich layer between titanium oxides (TiOx) and bone, and chondroitin-4-sulfate transferase-1 (C4ST-1), which forms the sugar chain in PGs.

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is an established treatment. However, the mechanisms of GBR are not fully understood. Recently, a GBR membrane was identified that acts as a passive barrier to regenerate bone via activation and migration of macrophages (Mps) and bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs).

Background: Surface modification of titanium dioxide (TiO) implants promotes bone formation and shortens the osseointegration period. Kaempferol is a flavonoid that has the capacity to promote osteogenic differentiation in bone marrow stromal cells. The aim of this study was to promote bone formation around kaempferol immobilized on TiO implants.
