Aim: This article describes the treatment of a patient with a Class II malocclusion and bilaterally impacted canines using a Jasper jumper appliance. An unfavorable side effect of the appliance became a benefit as part of the treatment.
Methods: Treatment objectives were to erupt the impacted canines, expand the decreased intermolar width, and obtain a well-balanced profile, with a Class I occlusion. The widening effect of this appliance on the maxillary molars was expected to help increase the intermolar distance.
Results: Favorable changes were noted, both in the occlusion and in the profile. Class I canine and molar relationships with ideal overjet and overbite were achieved. Overbite and overjet were decreased by a combination of retrusion and extrusion of the maxillary incisors, and protrusion and intrusion of the mandibular incisors. The maxillary canines were erupted successfully, with healthy gingival tissue. The crossbite in the right posterior segment was corrected as a result of the increase in the intermolar distance.
Conclusion: The results gained were primarily dentoalveolar, rather than skeletal. There has been an improvement in the occlusion and esthetics.

Background: Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to play an important role during orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) through the regulation of periodontal soft and hard tissue homeostasis and functions. The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of miRNAs on OTM and to evaluate possible predictors that influenced the overall OTM amount at a 3-month follow-up.
Methods: Through a split-mouth design, 21 healthy patients (mean age 13.
Bilateral inverse canine impaction: a case report.

Background: Maxillary canine impaction can result in malocclusion, temporomandibular joint complications, and esthetic concerns, thus influencing craniofacial development. Although cases of impacted canines are not uncommon in clinical practice, the likelihood of simultaneous bilateral impaction is extremely low; very few reports have documented cases of bilaterally symmetrical, inversely impacted canines.
Case Presentation: This paper reports a rare case of maxillary canine impaction, a condition characterized by the abnormal eruption of teeth.

Human alveolar echinococcosis (HAE), which is caused by the larval stage of the Echinococcus multilocularis tapeworm, is an increasing healthcare issue in Hungary. Among the 40 known cases in the country, 25 were detected in the last five years. Our study aimed to reveal the geographically underlying risk factors associated potentially with these cases.

Background: Canine adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (cAD-MSCs) demonstrate promising tissue repair and regeneration capabilities. However, the procurement and preservation of these cells or their secreted factors for therapeutic applications pose a risk of viral contamination, and the consequences for cAD-MSCs remain unexplored. Consequently, this research sought to assess the impact of canid alphaherpesvirus 1 (CHV) on the functional attributes of cAD-MSCs, including gene expression profiles and secretome composition.

Estuaries often experience multiple water quality impairments including nitrogen enrichment and elevated fecal pollution. These pollutant sources are often linked and difficult to characterize, especially in multiple use watersheds, hindering the identification of effective mitigation steps. Tillamook Bay (Oregon, USA) has a mixed-use watershed including many potential nutrient and fecal bacteria sources due to agricultural activities, human development, and local wildlife populations.
