Clinical analysis of nonsyndromic oligodontia phenotypes.

Objectives: To provide references, this study investigated the clinical characteristics of patients with nonsyndromic oligodontia.

Methods: The information of 178 patients with oligodontia was collected, including histories, oral examinations, and panoramic radiographs. Tooth agenesis characteristics were calculated and evaluated.

Fe L Tetrahedron-Assisted Three-Way Junction Probe for Multiple miRNA Detection.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) modulate a variety of cellular signaling pathways and play a vital role in cell-to-cell communication. The overlapped expression of a certain miRNA is commonly reported to be related to cancers. Therefore, combined detection of multiple miRNAs is of great significance for cancer diagnosis.

Adult stem cell-based apexogenesis.

Generally, the dental pulp needs to be removed when it is infected, and root canal therapy (RCT) is usually required in which infected dental pulp is replaced with inorganic materials (paste and gutta percha). This treatment approach ultimately brings about a dead tooth. However, pulp vitality is extremely important to the tooth itself, since it provides nutrition and acts as a biosensor to detect the potential pathogenic stimuli.
