This report describes osteoclastic bone resorption around intraosseous fixation screws in rat and pig mandibles. These screws supported distraction devices and provided for neutral fixation following the distraction period. Progressive clinical instability of bicortical screws and radiographic and histologic evidence of osseous resorption were frequent findings. In rats, clinical evaluation revealed screw loss and/or loosening in 50% of the rats between 11 and 30 days of neutral fixation. Radiographic signs of resorption were apparent around 60% of the screws that were in place at the end of the observation period. The total rate of resorption or loss was 64 of 80 screws (80%). Histologic examination showed partial or extensive osteolysis around the screw holes in 87% of screws that were clinically fixed in the bone at sacrifice. In histologic sections of porcine specimens, osseous resorption around identifiable screw holes was present in 75% of the cases, and showed progressive increase in resorption with time. Osteoclastic resorption was common around bicortical screws that were evaluated after they had served for osseous stability.

Background: Evidence has revealed that oestrogen deprivation-induced osteolysis is microbiota-dependent and can be treated by probiotics. However, the underlying mechanism require further investigation. This study aims to provide additional evidence supporting the use of probiotics as an adjuvant treatment and to explore the pathophysiology of oestrogen-deprived osteolysis.

Probiotics are known to have favorable effects on human health. Nevertheless, probiotics are not always beneficial and can cause unintended adverse effects such as bacteremia and/or inflammation in immunocompromised patients. In the present study, we investigated the effects of probiotics on the regulation of bone metabolism under different health conditions and delivery routes.

Human periodontal ligament (hPDL) is continuously exposed to mechanical forces that can induce inflammatory responses in resident stem cells (hPDLSCs). Here, we review the impact of mechanical force on hPDLSCs, focusing on the activation of inflammatory cytokines and related signalling pathways, which subsequently influence periodontal tissue remodelling. The effects of various mechanical forces, including compressive, shear, and tensile forces, on hPDLSCs are discussed.

Objective: Ensuring adequate bone health is crucial for preventing conditions such as osteoporosis and fractures. Zingerone, a phytonutrient isolated from cooked ginger, has gained attention for its potential benefits in bone health. This study evaluated the osteoprotective potential of zingerone and its effects on differentiation and signalling pathways using SAOS-2 osteosarcoma and RAW264.

Due to the chemical composition and structure of the target tissue, autologous bone grafting remains the gold standard for orthopedic applications worldwide. However, ongoing advancements in alternative grafting materials show that 3D-printed synthetic biomaterials offer many advantages. For instance, they provide high availability, have low clinical limitations, and can be designed with a chemical composition and structure comparable to the target tissue.
