The aim of this study was to evaluate the trial Teaching Robot for the development of a contact-type measuring apparatus for using directly in the oral cavity. A standard model was used to mimic the dentition by placing an arrangement of three bearing balls. The diameters of the balls were measured. A practical dentition model was used. The coordinates were measured on the top of the buccal cusp of the right and left first premolars and the distal contact points of the right and left first molars and the mesial contact point of the right incisor. The arch width and length were calculated. The diameters of the bearing balls and the widths and lengths of the dental arches were not significantly different from the results of the XYZAX G-800D. Therefore, we suggest that the trial Teaching Robot has superior efficiency for measurements in oral cavity.

Background/purpose: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a premalignant condition of the oral cavity, and its pathogenesis remains largely unknown. A multitude of non-coding RNAs are aberrantly expressed in OSF, and their implication for the development of OSF is a matter meriting investigation.

Materials And Methods: The functional role of long non-coding RNA NCK1-AS1 in myofibroblast activation of fibrotic buccal mucosal fibroblasts (fBMFs) derived from OSF tissues was assessed.

Background/purpose: Bone reconstruction in the maxillofacial region typically relies on autologous bone grafting, which presents challenges, including donor site complications and graft limitations. Recent advances in tissue engineering have identified highly pure and proliferative dedifferentiated fat cells (DFATs) as promising alternatives. Herein, we explored the capacity for osteoblast differentiation and the osteoinductive characteristics of extracellular vesicles derived from DFATs (DFAT-EVs).

Background/purpose: Burning moouth syndrome (BMS) is a chronic pain condition similar to neuropathic pain. It is characterized by a persistent burning sensation in the oral cavity. Despite the lack of clarity regarding the etiology of BMS, recent studies have reported an association between the gut microbiome and neuropathic pain.

Background/purpose: Dental management prior to radiotherapy is often time-critical, and there are no studies on whether manipulations such as tooth extraction influence the risk of severe radiation-induced oral mucositis (ROM) during radiotherapy. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe the relationship between dental management and the incidence of severe ROM.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 144 head and neck cancer (HNC) patients who received dental management before radiotherapy at Peking University Cancer Hospital, from January 2016 to December 2017.
