Purpose: This pilot study aimed to assess the relationship between bite force variation and dental arch and facial shape using geometric morphometrics, an advanced method of statistical analysis that provides a detailed shape analysis of a structure considering the spatial relationship of its parts.
Methods: The sample consisted of 16 German adult men and women. For each individual, maximum bite force was recorded in four positions: maximum intercuspation, protrusion, laterotrusion to the right and to the left.
Background/aim: Cold physical plasma (CPP) has emerged as an effective therapy in oncology by inducing cytotoxic effects in various cancer cells, including chondrosarcoma (CS), Ewing's sarcoma (ES), and osteosarcoma (OS). The current study investigated the impact of CPP on cell motility in CS (CAL-78), ES (A673), and OS (U2-OS) cell lines, focusing on the actin cytoskeleton.
Materials And Methods: The CASY Cell Counter and Analyzer was used to study cell proliferation and determine the optimal concentrations of fetal calf serum to maintain viability without stimulation of cell proliferation.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how adding a layer of universal adhesive affects the formation of gaps between tooth enamel/dentin and composite material, using advanced imaging techniques like SD-OCT and SEM.
- It involved restoring cavities in premolars with different adhesives and application methods, measuring interfacial gaps at various stages post-restoration.
- Results showed that the adhesive type, application mode, and number of adhesive layers significantly impacted gap formation, with specific findings indicating that double application of Scotchbond Universal resulted in more gaps compared to other methods.
Objectives: To investigate the light penetration depth of various CAD/CAM ceramics and luting agents by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
Methods: Six CAD/CAM ceramics: lithium disilicate (LS2), zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS), lithium aluminosilicate (LAS), polymer infiltrated (PIC), feldspar (FEL) and zirconium oxide (ZRO) and five common luting agents, two self-adhesive and three adhesive materials, were included. SD-OCT wavelengths (1310/1550 nm) and frequencies (5/28 kHz) that are particularly suitable for these materials were investigated.
The Effect of Solutions Containing Extracts of Vochysia tucanorum Mart., Myrcia bellaCambess., Matricaria chamomilla L. and Malva sylvestris L. on Cariogenic Bacterial Species and Enamel Caries Development.

This study evaluated the effect of experimental solutions containing plant extracts on bacterial species and enamel caries prevention. Microcosm biofilm was produced from human saliva mixed with McBain saliva (0.2% sucrose) on bovine enamel for 5 days (3 days under anaerobiosis and 2 days under aerobiosis) at 37°C.

Key to this capability is the periodontal ligament (PDL), a connective tissue containing a collagenous fibre network which connects the tooth roots to the alveolar bone socket and which allows the teeth to move when loaded. It has been suggested that rodent molars under load experience a screw-like downward motion but it remains unclear whether this movement also occurs in primates.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Masseter muscle function influences mandibular bone homeostasis. As previously reported, bone resorption markers increased in the mouse mandibular condyle two days after masseter paralysis induced with botulinum toxin type A (BoNTA), followed by local bone loss.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the bone quality of both the mandibular condyle and alveolar process in the mandible of adult mice during the early stage of a BoNTA-induced masseter muscle atrophy, using a combined 3D histomorphometrics and shape analysis approach.
