A Multivariate Logistic Regression Analysis of Risk Factors for Peri-implant Bone Loss.

Objective: To evaluate multiple risk factors of peri-implant bone loss.

Materials And Methods: A case-control study was conducted on patients who had received dental implants treatment from January 2018 to December 2021. Implants with bone loss were included in the case group, and implants with no bone loss were included in the control group.

regulates osteogenesis and bone mass phenotype via targeting gene.

MicroRNA-155 (miR155) is overexpressed in various inflammatory diseases and cancer, in which bone resorption and osteolysis are frequently observed. However, the role of miR155 on osteogenesis and bone mass phenotype is still unknown. Here, we report a low bone mass phenotype in the long bone of -Tg mice compared with wild-type mice.

Dicalcium silicate-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and autophagy-mediated macrophagic inflammation promotes osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs.

Dicalcium silicate (CaSiO, CS) has osteogenic potential but induces macrophagic inflammation. Mitochondrial function plays a vital role in macrophage polarization and macrophagic inflammation. The mitochondrial function of CS-treated macrophages is still unclear.

Rare earth smart nanomaterials for bone tissue engineering and implantology: Advances, challenges, and prospects.

Bone grafts or prosthetic implant designing for clinical application is challenging due to the complexity of integrated physiological processes. The revolutionary advances of nanotechnology in the biomaterial field expedite and endorse the current unresolved complexity in functional bone graft and implant design. Rare earth (RE) materials are emerging biomaterials in tissue engineering due to their unique biocompatibility, fluorescence upconversion, antimicrobial, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Sulfonylureas for Treatment of Periodontitis-Diabetes Comorbidity-Related Complications: Killing Two Birds With One Stone.

Periodontitis is one of the most prevalent oral inflammatory diseases leading to teeth loss and oral health problems in adults. Periodontitis mainly affects periodontal tissue by affecting the host immune system and bone homeostasis. Moreover, periodontitis is associated with various systemic diseases.

Downregulation of Macrophage-Specific Act-1 Intensifies Periodontitis and Alveolar Bone Loss Possibly via TNF/NF-κB Signaling.

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory oral disease that affects almost half of the adult population. NF-κB activator 1 (Act1) is mainly expressed in immune cells, including macrophages, and modulates immune cells' function to regulate inflammation in inflammatory diseases. Macrophages play a vital role in the pathophysiology of periodontitis.

The Emerging Role of Exosomes in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Oral cancer constitutes approximately 2% of all cancers, while the most common type, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) represents 90% of oral cancers. Although the treatment of OSCC has improved recently, it still has a high rate of local recurrence and poor prognosis, with a 5-year survival rate of only 50%. Advanced stage OSCC tends to metastasize to lymph nodes.
