Introduction: Periprosthetic bone remodelling after total hip replacement may contribute to aseptic loosening of the prosthesis. The selection between cemented and uncemented fixation of the stem is mainly determined by patient's age, general constitution and CT scan-estimated bone quality; intra-operative observation may ultimately influence the choice of the fixation method. The influence of cemented versus uncemented stem fixation on periprosthetic bone remodelling around the uncemented cup has, to our knowledge, never been studied until now.
Methods: A total of 75 patients received intra-operatively manufactured stem prostheses and a standard hydroxy apatite-coated pinnacle cup. The pre-operative CT scans provides guidance for the bone quality and hence the type of stem fixation: cemented or uncemented. The influence of either type of stem fixation on periprosthetic bone remodelling around the cup and the stem was measured by bone mineral density at 6 weeks, and 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery.
Results: Early changes in bone mineral density were noted. The type of stem fixation had an influence on the bone remodelling of the femur and also of the pelvis. The caudal part of the acetabulum was subject to a greater loss in BMD at 12 months in the group with cemented stem fixation. Changes at 12 months correlated with the changes measured at any time point.
Conclusions: The selection of the stem implant and its type of fixation in the femoral cavity (cemented or uncemented fixation) seems to have an impact on the bone mineral density of the acetabulum. Long-term clinical follow-up is required to draw conclusions regarding the influence on prosthesis survival.

Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) and ameloblastoma (AM) are common jaw lesions with high bone-destructive potential and recurrence rates. Recent advancements in technology led to significant progress in understanding these conditions. Single-cell and spatial omics have improved insights into the tumor microenvironment and cellular heterogeneity in OKC and AM.

Background/purpose: Revascularization procedures are used over apexification to treat teeth with necrotic pulp tissues and incomplete root formation. Clinically, inducing proliferation, migration, matrix deposition, and differentiation of stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs) are critical for pulp regeneration. The study aimed to elucidate the impact of bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) on plasminogen activation molecules and the osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation of SCAPs, as well as understand the related signaling mechanisms.

Background/purpose: Autologous dentin materials are among the most promising bone substitutes for preventing osseous defects on the distal side of the lower second molar. This study aimed to investigate the effects of autologous demineralized dentin matrix on postoperative complications and wound healing after lower third molar surgery.
Materials And Methods: Thirteen patients with bilateral symmetrical lower third molars participated in this split-mouth randomized clinical trial.
