Parentage Verification and Segregation Distortion Patterns of Microsatellite Markers in Olive Flounder () Full-Sib Families.

Microsatellite markers are widely used in aquaculture for genetic analysis and breeding programs, but challenges such as segregation distortion and allelic instability can impact their effectiveness in parentage verification and inheritance studies. This study evaluated 15 microsatellite loci in seven experimental olive flounder () families bred through 1:1 full-sibling crosses, assessing their utility for accurate parentage and inheritance stability. Parentage assignments were conducted within an expanded pool of 647 candidate parents (including the actual 14 parents), encompassing both closely related and moderately distant individuals.

Oral hygiene changes & compliance with telemonitoring device in individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities: a randomized controlled crossover trial.

Objective: Advances in mobile technology are helping with health management practices, and smart toothbrushes provide proper dental care by collecting and analyzing users' toothbrushing data. The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of a telemonitoring device on oral hygiene management in individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities and its role in promoting oral health.

Materials And Methods: Participants were split into two groups: one initially using the telemonitoring device (telemonitoring device/manual toothbrush) and the other using it later (manual toothbrush/telemonitoring device), with a one-month washout period.

Clinical observation using virtual reality for dental education on surgical tooth extraction: A comparative study.

Background: Clinical observation conducted during the 3rd and 4th years of dental school is an important part of dental students' clinical education. However, conventional clinical observation is associated with several problems, including the lack of opportunity for all students to assist during surgery. Virtual reality (VR) technologies and devices can be used to demonstrate clinical processes that dental students need to learn through clinical observation.

Effectiveness of Online Interactive Education in Dental Radiology.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an interactive education approach in oral and maxillofacial radiology for dentists, utilizing the online interactive educational program Mentimeter.

Method: Seven continuing education sessions for dentists in oral and maxillofacial radiology were conducted employing Mentimeter. Following these sessions, surveys gauged participants' responses to the learning method and its effectiveness.

Forced eruption in impacted teeth: analysis of failed cases and outcome of re-operation.

Background: Forced eruption of an impacted tooth usually requires surgical and orthodontic interventions to successfully bring the tooth into the dental arch. The clinical time required for a forced eruption is difficult to predict before treatment begins and success rates are affected by several factors before and after an eruption. This study was conducted to identify factors that affect the success of forced eruption, the duration of orthodontic treatment of impacted teeth, and the reasons for re-operation and forced eruption failure in a various teeth and cases.

Preventive effect of teriparatide on medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in rats.

This study aimed to investigate the preventive effect of teriparatide (TPD) administration on medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) before tooth extraction due to periodontal lesions in bilaterally ovariectomized female rats treated with zoledronic acid. Thirty skeletally mature Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: control (CONT, n = 10), zoledronic acid (ZA, n = 10), and zoledronic acid and teriparatide (ZA-TPD, n = 10). The rats were sacrificed 8 weeks after tooth extraction.

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw using periodontitis-induced rat before tooth extraction.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) after tooth extraction due to periodontitis in ovariectomized rats.

Methods: Twenty-four osteoporosis-induced rats were administered with zoledronic acid (ZA; ZA group) or saline (CONT group). In both groups, tooth extraction was performed after inducing periodontitis, and all animals were sacrificed 8-week after tooth extraction.

Efficacy of tooth brushing via a three-dimensional motion tracking system for dental plaque control in school children: a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Background: School children are in a developmental period in which permanent teeth replace primary dentition. It is also a period with a high incidence of gingivitis and caries, which can be improved with adequate tooth brushing. Advances in information technology have led to the development of smart health devices that assist in tooth brushing.

Development and Validation of a Visually Explainable Deep Learning Model for Classification of C-shaped Canals of the Mandibular Second Molars in Periapical and Panoramic Dental Radiographs.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a visually explainable deep learning model for the classification of C-shaped canals of the mandibular second molars in dental radiographs.

Methods: The periapical and panoramic images of 1000 mandibular second molars were collected from 372 patients. The diagnostic performance of the deep learning system using periapical and panoramic radiographs was investigated in respect to its ability to determine whether the second mandibular molar showed a C-shaped canal configuration.

Orthodontic Extrusion of Mandibular Third Molar With a Miniscrew and Cross-Arch Elastic.

Sensory dysfunction is the most serious complication that occurs after extracting lower third molars in close proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). Even experienced surgeons have difficulties in avoiding nerve damage when the root is anatomically adjacent to the nerve canal. A useful method for reducing nerve damage during extraction is to perform orthodontic extrusion, in which the distance between the nerve and the root increased after applying an orthodontic force on the third molar while extruding the tooth.

Denosumab-related osteonecrosis of the jaw: a case report and management based on pharmacokinetics.

Denosumab, a monoclonal antibody against the receptor activator for nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL), is a recently approved antiresorptive drug that suppresses osteoclast formation by targeting preosteclasts, in contrast to the traditional antiresorptive bisphosphonates that target mature osteoclasts. Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a well-known, if rare, side effect of bisphosphonate therapy; however, cases of ONJ have also been reported since 2010 in patients taking denosumab. We describe here a patient who developed ONJ while receiving denosumab; the pharmacokinetics of denosumab and bisphosphonates are discussed in the context of ONJ management.

Reduction of metal artifact in three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) with dental impression materials.

Metal Artifact still remains one of the main drawbacks in craniofacial Three-Dimensional Computed Tomography (3D CT). In this study, we tried to test the efficacy of additional silicone dental impression materials as a "tooth shield" for the reduction of metal artifact caused by metal restorations and orthodontic appliances. 6 phantoms with 4 teeth were prepared for this in vitro study.
