Datasets describing the morphometric evaluation of the adult rat mandible following growth stimulation of the condyle using ultrasound.

Evaluating morphological changes of the mandible due to the unique role of the condyle in mandibular special growth and remodeling pattern is challenging. This data describes a comprehensive evaluation using new techniques to detect morphological changes of the young adult rat mandibles treated by low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) comparing to matching controls. Two-dimensional (2D) analysis was performed on digital photographs of the hemi-mandibles using AutoCAD software with high accuracy.

Mandibular condyle tissue reaction to low intensity pulsed ultrasound in young adult rats: Micro computed tomographic and histomorphometric datasets.

Mandibular condyle (MC) in postnatal life, grows mainly by endochondral bone growth which is a multistep process and the condylar cartilage plays a vital role in its regional adaptive growth. Hence, for determining the exact effect of a treatment such as low Intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on the MC growth in animal models, it is important to reliably and reproducibly detect changes at different tissue levels and correct regions of the condyle. To this aim, micro computed tomography (µCT), as well as Alcian Blue-Pas staining, in vivo flourochrome labeling via calcein green, and Goldner's Trichrome staining on proper decalcified and undecalcified sections was performed for the harvested samples from young adult rats.

The effect of low intensity pulsed ultrasound on mandibular condylar growth in young adult rats.

There is a need for more effective methods to enhance mandibular growth in young adults with mandibular deficiency. Previous studies suggest that low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) can enhance mandibular growth in growing individuals. This study aimed to evaluate the potential growth changes of the mandible following 4-week LIPUS application in young adult rats.

Corticotomy-assisted orthodontic treatment. A systematic review of the biological basis and clinical effectiveness.

Objectives: To systematically review the literature to assess the quality of evidence related to corticotomy-assisted orthodontic treatment (CAOT) as adjunctive treatment in orthodontics.

Methods: The study was conducted in the Faculty of Dentistry, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia between 2013 and 2014. Various electronic  databases were searched and abstracts were retrieved.

Efficacy of light-activated sealant on enamel demineralization in orthodontic patients: an atomic force microscope evaluation.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of (Pro Seal) sealant in preventing enamel decalcification in-vivo and compare its effect with fluoride varnish and unfilled sealant using atomic force microscopy.

Materials And Methods: Eight orthodontic patients who were candidates for extraction of all first premolars for orthodontic treatment were recruited to this study. Thirty two premolars (upper and lower) were randomly divided into four groups (n=8) for each group, 4 maxillary and 4 mandibular); Control (no -treatment); Fluoride varnish, Unfilled sealant (Light Bond) and filled sealant (Pro-Seal).

Cephalometric craniofacial features of growing patients with chronic renal failure.

Introduction: Chronic renal failure (CRF) in growing children can affect their physical growth status. The objective of this research was to study the craniofacial morphology of children with CRF as evaluated by cephalometric analysis.

Methods: Twenty-three growing children with CRF were included in this study.

In vitro osteogenic induction of human gingival fibroblasts for bone regeneration.

Background And Objective: Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease causing bone loss, and is a primary cause of tooth loss. Gingival fibroblasts are readily available with minimal donor site morbidity and may be ideal for tissue engineering efforts in regenerating lost alveolar bone. Dexamethasone (Dex) is commonly employed for in vitro osteogenic induction of a variety of cells, but its effect on human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) is still controversial.

Cephalometric evaluation of airways after maxillary anterior advancement by distraction osteogenesis in cleft lip and palate patients: a systematic review.

Objective: This study was conducted to review the changes in airways after maxillary anterior advancement by distraction osteogenesis in patients with cleft lip and palate.

Materials And Methods: Several electronic databases were searched. The selection criteria were set to include clinical trials and at least 1 year of postsurgical data.

Anabolic effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound on human gingival fibroblasts.

Objective: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) demonstrated anabolic effects on cementoblasts, odontoblasts, and periodontal ligament cells. However, LIPUS effect on human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) remains to be investigated. Therefore, we evaluated the in vitro effects of LIPUS on HGF proliferation and differentiation to test its feasibility for periodontal therapy.

Frictional resistance in self-ligating orthodontic brackets and conventionally ligated brackets. A systematic review.

Objective: To compare the amount of expressed frictional resistance between orthodontic self-ligating brackets and conventionally ligated brackets in vitro as reported in the literature.

Methods: Several electronic databases (Medline, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science) were searched without limits. In vitro studies that addressed friction of self-ligating brackets compared with conventionally ligated brackets were selected and reviewed.

Effect of bilateral mandibular osteodistration on the condylar cartilage: an experimental study on rabbits.

Unlabelled: Although various aspects of bone formation during distraction osteogenesis have been studied extensively, there are only limited experimental data concerning the influence of hyper-physiologic mandibular distraction rate on structural alterations in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) condylar cartilage. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of bilateral distraction osteogenesis of the mandibular body, at a hyper-physiologic rate and length, on the integrity of the condylar cartilage in rabbits.

Materials And Methods: Eighteen healthy adult male rabbits weighing 2 to 3 kg were assigned to 1 of 2 groups: the control group (n = 2 rabbits, 4 joints) or the study group (n = 16 rabbits, 32 joints) four rabbits (8 joints) in each subgroup according to the post-distraction period (1,2,3 or 4 weeks).

Effect of ultrasound on rabbit mandibular incisor formation and eruption after mandibular osteodistraction.

Therapeutic ultrasound is known to enhance bone-fracture healing. The purpose of this article was to study the effect of therapeutic ultrasound on mandibular incisor development and eruption in 15 skeletally mature male New Zealand white rabbits undergoing mandibular osteodistraction. The surgical cuts were made anterior to the molars and consequently transected the mandibular incisors.

The effect of pulsed ultrasound on mandibular distraction.

This study evaluated the effect of pulsed ultrasound on tissue repair and bone growth during mandibular osteodistraction. Twenty-one rabbits were divided into three groups of 7. The distraction started 72 h after surgically severing both sides of the mandible and proceeded at a rate of 1.
