The characteristics of the mandible bone were compared through DXA methods between two major substrains of F344 rats, F344/DuCrlCrlj and F344/NSlc at around 60 days of age. Since these two substrains are clearly different in survival and mandible morphology, some genetic differences are supposed to exist. In contrast to a previous microsatellite analysis, clear and significant differences were detected in the body and mandible weights, the mandible bone mineral contents (BMC), bone area (AREA), bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral ratio (BMR), between F344/DuCrlCrlj and F344/NSlc, with the mandible molar teeth intact in the bone. Thus, care is needed in the experimental use of these substrains, as results may differ between them. The newly proposed parameter, BMR, may especially contribute to the comparison of bone characteristics among species.

Subject-specific finite element (FE) modeling of the mandible bone has recently gained attention for its higher accuracy. A critical modeling factor is including personalized material properties from medical images especially when bone quality has to be respected. However, there is no consensus on the material model for the mandible that realistically estimates the Young's modulus of the bone.

Autoinflammatory bone diseases (AIBDs) constitute a recently identified subset of autoinflammatory diseases. These conditions are characterized by an exaggerated inflammatory response in the bones without any apparent etiology. Inflammatory bone lesions associated with AIBDs exhibit chronic inflammation, are typically culture-negative, and do not exhibit discernible microorganisms on histopathological examination.

Introduction: Osteomyelitis is an inflammatory condition of the bone with a multifactorial etiology, including trauma and odontogenic infections. Despite being a common condition in clinical practice, limited research exists on the clinical and pathological profile of Osteomyelitis of the Jaws (OJ). This 51-year retrospective study aimed to describe the clinical, radiographic, and histopathological features of OJ diagnosed at a single oral pathology referral center.

In cases of large mandibular continuity defects resulting from malignancy resection, the current standard of care involves using patient-specific/custom titanium reconstruction plates along with autogenous grafts (fibula, scapula, or iliac crest segments). However, when grafts are not feasible or desired, only the reconstruction plate is used to bridge the gap. Unfortunately, metal osteosynthesis and reconstruction plates, including titanium, exhibit adverse effects such as stress-shielding and limitations in accurate postoperative irradiation (especially with proton-beam therapy).
