As society advances, an increasing number of people are focusing on the antiaging process of the body and seeking ways to maintain youthful facial features. Intradermal injection has been used to effectively improve the rough and wrinkled skin, playing a role in skin rejuvenation. However, the main component of intradermal injection products is cross-linked sodium hyaluronate (SHA), which has biological toxicity and potential carcinogenicity.

Background/purpose: History of periodontitis is a well-documented risk indicator of peri-implantitis. However, the influence of severity of periodontitis is still unclear, especially for severe periodontitis. This study was aimed to investigate the prevalence of peri-implant disease and analyze the risk indicators in patients with treated severe periodontitis.

Background/purpose: Excessive host immune response is thought to be an important cause of periodontal tissue damage during periodontitis. The potent chemotaxis produced by locally released chemokines is the key signal to trigger this response. Here, we aimed to investigate the expression of CXC chemokine receptor 1 (CXCR1), and chemokines interleukin-8 (IL-8) and pro-platelet basic protein (PPBP) in human inflammatory gingival tissues compared with healthy tissues.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel technique (VISTA) and tunnel approach combined with connective tissue graft (CTG) for treatment of type 1 (RT1) multiple gingival recession.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-four patients with a total of 59 nonmolar recession teeth were randomly allocated to VISTA + CTG or Tunnel + CTG group. Recession depth and width, probing depth, clinical attachment level, width of keratinized tissue, gingival thickness, flap tension, mean root coverage (MRC), complete root coverage (CRC), patient-centered, and esthetic outcomes (root coverage esthetic scores, RES) were assessed at baseline and 12 months after surgery.

Background/purpose: ) could induce the activation of vascular endothelial cells and promote the formation of atherosclerosis. Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain containing (NLRP) 6 could recognize but its role in atherosclerosis was unknown. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of NLRP6 in the activation of inflammation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) stimulated by

Materials And Methods: The expression level of NLRP6 in HUVECs with or without -challenge was observed.

Background/purpose: It was reported that lncRNAs have an effect on immune-related diseases, however, their roles in periodontitis remain to be investigated. The aim of this study was to look for immune-related lncRNAs in periodontitis, and to preliminarily explore their function .

Materials And Methods: CIBERSORT was used to analyze abundance of immune cell in the periodontal tissue.

Background: Information regarding using a pig cadaver model for teaching purposes in dentistry is limited, especially for periodontal surgery procedures. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and efficacy of teaching crown lengthening surgical procedures using a prepared pig cadaver model.

Methods: Mandibles of slaughtered pigs with subgingival crown fracture defects on two premolars and two molars on each side were prepared as periodontal surgery teaching cases.

Objective: To isolate P-cadherin positive and negative oral gingival epithelial cells, and to compare the biological characteristics with junctional epithelial cells.

Methods: Human oral gingival epithelial cells and junctional epithelial cells were cultured. P-cadherin positive and negative cells were isolated from oral gingival epithelial cells.

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of measurement of II degree furcation involvements in molars of dry mandibles by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Methods: Twenty molars with II degree furcation involvements in dry mandibles were examined directly and measured by CBCT. Eight parameters were selected to describe the exact appearance of each II degree furcation involvements, including vertical defect dimensions, horizontal defect dimensions and furcation entrance dimensions.

Significant effort has been devoted to fabricating various biomaterials to satisfy specific clinical requirements. In this study, we developed a new type of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membrane by electrospinning a suspension consisting of poly( l-lactic acid), multiwalled carbon nanotubes, and hydroxyapatite (PLLA/MWNTs/HA). MWNTs/HA nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed in the membranes, and the degradation characteristics were far improved.

Objective: To investigate the construction of 3D complex of porous beta-tricalcium phosphate/collagen scaffolds (beta-TCP/col) and dog periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs).

Methods: Dog PDLCs were isolated, cultured and identified. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of beta-TCP/col on the proliferation of PDLCs.
