Background: Equine odontoclastic tooth resorption and hypercementosis (EOTRH) is a painful disorder primarily affecting the incisor teeth of horses over 15 years of age. Clinical signs of the disease include prehension problems, halitosis and in severe cases weight loss. The disease predominately affects the reserve crown and presents as a loss of dental tissue and excessive build-up of cementum.

Objectives: WNT10A mutations are associated with tooth agenesis. This study aimed to assess the clinical outcomes of dental implants in patients carrying WNT10A mutations with different molecular statuses and phenotypes over a long-term follow-up period.
Materials And Methods: Patients with tooth agenesis were screened by whole-exome sequencing (WES) from January 2010 to September 2023.

Objectives: We investigated the involvement of FOXO3a in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in primary human dental pulp cells (HDPCs).
Methods: HDPCs that were isolated from donors undergoing tooth extraction for orthodontic purposes were cultured with or without 1 μg/mL LPS at various intervals. The FOXO3a localization in the HDPCs was verified using immunofluorescence.

Introduction: Implantology has become a primary solution for tooth loss due to excellent osseointegration and high long-term success rates. However, complications such as abutment screw loosening, especially in implant-supported single crowns, compromise prosthesis longevity. Anaerobic adhesives (AAs) have shown promise in mechanical fields for preventing screw loosening, but their effectiveness in dental implants, particularly zirconia, remains uncertain.

Dental implants are now a standard solution for replacing missing teeth, even in patients with a history of chronic periodontitis. India is often referred to as the "diabetic capital of the world," a title that reflects the country's alarming rates of diabetes prevalence. However, the risk of complications, such as peri-implantitis and implant failure, remains a concern for these patients.
