Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of combining Er:YAG laser therapy with minocycline hydrochloride in treating combined endodontal-periodontal lesions (CEPLs) among 114 patients.
- The research group, which received the combined treatment, showed significantly better clinical outcomes, reduced pain, and improved inflammatory responses compared to the control group treated only with the Er:YAG laser.
- Follow-up evaluations indicated that patients in the research group experienced a better quality of life and oral health following the treatment.
Objectives: The role of antibiotics as an adjunct to nonsurgical peri-implantitis treatment approaches has not reached a consensus. This meta-analysis aimed to review the adjunctive effect of systemic use of metronidazole and amoxicillin in patients with peri-implantitis.
Method And Materials: PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials published from inception to January 2023.
Objective: To estimate the clinical efficacy of early masticatory myofunction rehabilitation combined with conventional functional appliances for the treatment of class Ⅱ, division 1 malocclusion in orthodontic children during the growing phase.
Materials And Method: A comparative retrospective cohort study, enrolled patients diagnosed with class Ⅱ/1 in the stage of late mixed or early permanent dentition. Patients were divided into a TBA group (Cohort 1): receiving Twin-block appliance treatment; and a MMR group (Cohort 2): receiving either early masticatory myofunction rehabilitation as adjunctive therapy combined with the same conventional functional appliances.
This study investigated the antimicrobial effect and anti-inflammatory activities of PGLa-loaded TiO nanotube arrays (TiO NTs) in osteoblast-like MG-63 cells. The surface morphology and roughness of three titanium (Ti) substrates (Ti, TiO NTs, PGLa-loaded TiO NTs) were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). The wettability of three titanium substrates was evaluated by contact angle.

Our objectives were to identify, isolate, and characterize MSCs from normal human oral mucosa and OLP lesions, and to evaluate indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase (IDO) activity in mediating immunomodulation of MSCs from these tissues.
Methods: Expressions of MSCs-related markers were examined in isolated cells by flow cytometry.
