Background: The objective was to systematically review studies assessing the efficacy of clear aligner therapy (CAT) and miniscrew-anchored fixed appliances (MAFAs) in the correction of skeletal and dental open bite in the permanent dentition.
Methods: A literature search was conducted across different databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, Web of Science, Medline, Scopus and Google Scholar, up to April 2024. Studies were chosen based on prespecified inclusion criteria.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for the treatment of bone defects have been widely reported as a cell-free therapy because of their appropriate stability and biocompatibility. However, EV isolation is expensive and time-consuming. We developed a method of modifying EVs derived from bone marrow MSCs (BMSCs) via the cationic polymer (ERP) with characteristics of charge reversal and esterase response (ERP-EVs).

Methods: Using the Cochrane library, Google scholar, and PubMed databases, a literature search was conducted, and studies published from 1984 to 2024 were considered.
Results: Both bone growth and remodeling may occur when a tooth is subjected to mechanical stress.
