Background: The collum angle, tooth dimensions, root length, and alveolar bone thickness have a significant impact on orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. The boundaries of orthodontic tooth movement are determined by alveolar bone thickness and dimensions while the collum angle determines the appropriate positioning of the root relative to the cortical plate. This study aimed to compare the collum angle, crown dimensions, root length, and alveolar bone thickness of the upper and lower incisors, canines, and premolars in subjects with varying anteroposterior relationships.

Our review study addresses the issue of tooth loss, which is caused by loss of masticatory function and its impact on cognitive functions, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease. Numerous studies have confirmed a positive correlation between premature tooth loss, reduction in masticatory function and significant cognitive decline observed through learning disabilities, including overcoming ordinary life problems to early and advanced forms of dementia. Reduced numbers of teeth in the main food processing area, i.

Early childhood caries (ECC), one of the most common health problems among children aged six years and below, is considered present when one or more surfaces of a tooth are decayed, missing, or filled. Not only does ECC cause pain for a long time, but it also has short- and long-term health consequences in children. In order to treat ECC, holistic management that includes preventive, restorative, and prosthetic intervention is necessary.

Biocompatible and degradable hydrogels are extensively utilized for the delivery and controlled release of bioactive agents. Chitosan/squid ring teeth protein (SRT) hydrogels (CH/SRTs) cross-linked by genipin were fabricated, and their gel properties and structural characteristics were analyzed across varying SRT contents. Additionally, the curcumin-release behavior of curcumin-loaded CH/SRTs (Cur-CH/SRTs) was evaluated.

Metabolic pathways exhibit fluctuating activities during bone and dental loss and defects, suggesting a regulated metabolic plasticity. Skeletal remodeling is an energy-demanding process related to altered metabolic activities. These metabolic changes are frequently associated with epigenetic modifications, including variations in the expression or activity of enzymes modified through epigenetic mechanisms, which directly or indirectly impact cellular metabolism.
