The aim of the study was to investigate post-extraction tooth drift in ponies and the influence of an intra-alveolar prosthesis. The maxillary 08 was bilaterally repulsed in five ponies under general anaesthesia. On one side the alveolus was left to granulate, and on the other a synthetic bone substitute prosthesis was fitted. Standard radiographic projections of the head were taken monthly during the first year and at 24 months post-operatively. Different cephalometric parameters were measured and statistically analyzed. Rostral and caudal drift were recognized in molar and premolar teeth, respectively. The prosthesis significantly slowed down tooth drift (P<0.001). Although differences in the degree of secondary mandibular overgrowths (on 06s, 11s and 08s) were found between treatments, this had no important clinical consequences. Premolars showed significantly more tooth wear in comparison with molars (P<0.001). Tooth attrition was higher in the prosthesis treated sides (P<0.001).

In this case report, we show a strategic approach to prolonging the lifespan of pathologically migrated maxillary canines with a hopeless prognosis in a 57-year-old female patient, highlighting the potential of orthodontic management for middle-aged patients to enhance both occlusion and facial esthetics while minimizing the need for extensive prosthetic treatment. According to the visual treatment objective, the nonextraction treatment plan showed advantages in the type of orthodontic tooth movement and final occlusal relationship. Therefore, considering the favorable periodontal treatment results and single-root teeth, the hopelessly migrated maxillary canines were relocated, eliminating the existing trauma from occlusion.

Background: Parental migration plays a significant role in shaping the health outcomes of left-behind children. However, limited research has been conducted on how parental migration impacts the dental health of these children in China. To address this gap, this study aims to investigate the effects of parental migration on the dental health of left-behind children and explore the underlying mechanisms that contribute to these outcomes.

Introduction: Establishing an optimized regenerative microenvironment for pulp-dentin complex engineering has become increasingly critical. Recently, exosomes have emerged as favorable biomimetic nanotherapeutic tools to simulate the developmental microenvironment and facilitate tissue regeneration.

Objectives: This study aimed to elucidate the multifaceted roles of exosomes from human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) that initiated odontogenic differentiation while sustaining mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) characteristics in odontogenesis, angiogenesis, and neurogenesis during pulp-dentin complex regeneration.

After tooth extraction, alveolar bone absorbs unevenly, leading to soft tissue collapse, which hinders full regeneration. Bone loss makes it harder to do dental implants and repairs. Inspired by the biological architecture of bone, a deformable SIS/HA (Small intestinal submucosa/Hydroxyapatite) composite hydrogel coaxial scaffold was designed to maintain bone volume in the socket.

Periodontitis, a common chronic inflammatory condition caused by bacteria, leads to loss of attachment, resorption of alveolar bone, and ultimately tooth loss. Therefore, reducing bacterial load and fostering alveolar bone regeneration are essential components in the treatment of periodontitis. In this study, we prepared smaller-sized Ag-Metal Organic Frameworks (Ag@MOF) and loaded with sodium alginate (Alg) hydrogel for periodontitis treatment.
