Eruption Disturbance in Children Receiving Bisphosphonates: Two Case Reports.
Pharmaceuticals (Basel)
November 2024
Background: Bisphosphonates used for the treatment of osteoporosis, hypercalcemia, or heterotopic calcifications can cause serious adverse dental events such as osteonecrosis of the maxillary and mandibular bones. However, the effects in childhood remain scarcely explored.
Case Presentations: We encountered two children who had started bisphosphonate therapy before completion of the primary dentition.
Article Synopsis
- Red complex bacteria are highly virulent in periodontal disease, and this study focused on their relationships with other oral bacteria in older Japanese individuals.
- Polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze dental plaque from 116 subjects, finding that individuals positive for red complex bacteria had significantly higher detection rates of certain periodontal pathogens compared to those who were negative.
- The findings indicate that individuals harboring all three red complex species have a unique oral microbiome, showcasing greater α-diversity and lower β-diversity, suggesting they may be more prone to developing periodontal disease.
Odontoma is an occasionally encountered condition that disturbs the eruption of adjacent teeth. Few reports have described multiple odontomas occurring at two adjacent sites, resulting in eruption disturbances of both primary and permanent teeth. An 8-year 2-month-old boy was referred to our hospital.

This study examined the effects of the S-PRG filler eluate on in the presence of sucrose. In a solution containing , the concentrations of BO, Al, Sr, and F were significantly higher in the presence of the S-PRG filler eluate than in its absence ( < 0.

Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is the major protein deacetylase of mitochondria. SIRT3 serves as a nutrient sensor; under conditions of mild metabolic stress, SIRT3 activity is increased.
