Objective: To study the role of Ca2+ overload and energy metabolism in mitochondria in masticatory muscle dysfunctional induced by occlusal trauma.
Methods: Mitochondrial Ca2+ contents were measured with atomic emission spectrophotometer. Mitochondrial ATP and ADP contents were measured with high performance liquid chromatography.
Results: (1) Mitochondrial Ca2+ contents of masseter muscle ipsilateral to metal splint in ten and twenty days' experimental groups and that contralateral to metal splint in twenty days' experimental group increased significantly (P < 0.05). (2) Mitochondrial ATP contents of masseter muscle ipsilateral to metal splint in experimental groups were higher than that in control groups and contralateral to metal splint after twenty days. (3) Mitochondrial Ca2+ contents of masseter muscle ipsilateral to metal splint were significantly negatively correlated to the mitochondrial ATP contents (r = -0.780, P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Ca2+ overload in mitochondria depresses ATP production, which results in energy metabolism disorder in masticatory muscle cells. It may play an important role in the mechanism that occlusal trauma results in masticatory muscle dysfunction.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate potential differences in biofilm accumulation on three different implant surfaces: turned surface (TS), modified surface (MS), and modified surface treated with implantoplasty (IPS), using a within-subject comparison.
Material And Methods: Ten volunteers wore individualized splints containing three titanium implants with different surfaces (TS, MS, and IPS) on each buccal side of the splint. The implant position (anterior, central, and posterior) was randomly assigned among the three implants on each side.

To evaluate the effect of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) periodontal splints and splints made from other materials under static loading on stress distributions in periodontal tissues, cement layer, and splints themselves. A finite element model based on cone-beam CT imaging data of a 25-year-old male patient (treated at the Department of Prosthodontics, School of Stomatology, The Fourth Military Medical University in October 2021 for a cracked maxillary molar) with a healthy and intact mandibular dentition and periodontal health was constructed. The finite element model included anterior mandible dentition, mandibular bone model without bone resorption (WBR group), a periodontally compromised mandible model (control group), and three types of periodontal splints: a PEEK periodontal splint (0.

Clinical indications for the Ti-Zr alloy (Roxolid) mini-implants (MDIs) in subjects with narrow ridges are still under review. The aim was to analyze peri-implant and posterior edentulous area strains dependent on the MDI number, splinting status, loading force, and loading position. Six models were digitally designed and printed.

DNA and RNA nucleobase modifications are biologically relevant and valuable in fundamental biochemical and biophysical investigations of nucleic acids. However, directly introducing site-specific nucleobase modifications into long unprotected oligonucleotides is a substantial challenge. In this study, we used in vitro selection to identify DNAzymes that site-specifically N-alkylate the exocyclic nucleobase amines of particular cytidine, guanosine, and adenosine (C, G and A) nucleotides in DNA substrates, by reductive amination using a 5'-benzaldehyde oligonucleotide as the reaction partner.
