Behaviour of human dental pulp stem cell in high glucose condition: impact on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the changes of human dental pulp stem cell (hDPSC) viability, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in high glucose condition.

Design: After 21 days of culture in low (5.5 mM) and high (20 mM) glucose medium, hDPSC viability and proliferation were assessed with respectively the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and Hoechst assays.

Osteonecrosis of the jaw induced by arsenic trioxide therapy in a leukemia patient: A rare case report and literature review.

A patient suffering from acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) was referred to the dental department before introduction of chemotherapy by all-trans retinoic acid and arsenic trioxide (ATO). A panoramic radiography showed his third upper maxillary left tooth included into the maxillary bone. The patient presented with a febrile episode.

Brain abscesses and intracranial empyema due to dental pathogens: Case series.

Introduction: Spontaneous brain abscess and intracranial empyema are rare but life-threatening diseases. They can result from potential complications of oral chronic infections. Given the similarity between most of the germs commonly found both in cerebral abscess and in oral cavity and its anatomic proximity, the oral cavity represents a major source of cerebral infections.

Antibiotic use and resistance: a nationwide questionnaire survey among French dentists.

The aim of this survey was to describe the attitudes and self-reported practices of French dentists towards antibiotic use and resistance and to compare practices with national guidelines. A nationwide cross-sectional internet-based survey was conducted among the 41,800 French dentists. The online questionnaire was distributed through professional networks from April 2017 to April 2018.

Dental Pulp Stem Cell-Derived Conditioned Medium: An Attractive Alternative for Regenerative Therapy.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have a lot of potential in regenerative medicine, and MSC-based therapies are currently explored in numerous research fields. Among these cells, deciduous or permanent dental pulp-MSC represent a promising option in tissue engineering. This expectation is based on their capacity to self-renew, to repair various damaged tissues and organs due to their multipotency, as well as their ability to modulate immune system.

Plasmablastic lymphoma: oral presentation in patient suffering from osteradionecrosis of the jaw.

Introduction: We describe here an unusual presentation of a plasmablastic lymphoma in a patient suffering from an osteoradionecrosis of the jaw.

Presentation Of Case: We report the case of a 64-year-old patient who was followed up on oncology because of an oropharyngeal cancer treated by a combined procedure of both surgery and radio-chemotherapy procedure. This patient developed an osteoradionecrosis of the jaw.
