Bone research in 2012: the ups and downs of bone in health and rheumatic disease.

Nat Rev Rheumatol

Department of Internal Medicine 3, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, 91054 Erlangen, Germany.

Published: February 2013

In 2012, several new concepts emerged that widen our view of the regulation of bone mass in health and disease. Three key studies outline these discoveries, which affect our understanding of the skeletal system, particularly its physiological function and the changes it undergoes during inflammatory disease.

Background & Objective: Currently, there are many implants in clinical use, making it hard to choose the right one for the patient. The success rate of an implant depends on its diameter, length, and direction of insertion in bone. In implant dentistry, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulates intraoral conditions in vitro and analyzes the effects of implant material, diameter, size, and other components related to oral structure on the implant and peri-implant tissues.

The Application of Resolvin D1-Loaded Gelatin Methacrylate in a Rat Periodontitis Model.

Pharmaceutics

December 2024

Department of Clinical Dentistry, Faculty of Health Sciences, UiT the Artic University of Norway, 9037 Tromsø, Norway.

To evaluate the drug release, cytocompatibility with periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs), and therapeutic efficacy of GelMA hydrogel loaded with resolvin D1 (RvD1) in treating rat periodontal inflammation and alveolar bone damage. An RvD1 complexed with GelMA was prepared, and its release kinetics and compatibility with PDLCs were assessed. Rats with induced periodontitis were treated weekly with topical applications of vehicle, GelMA, RvD1, or RvD1 complexed with GelMA for four weeks.

Arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) is associated with an increased failure rate over time. The Recenter implant, a metal block, is designed to reinforce capsulolabral repair. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the addition of the Recenter implant to ABR reduces the rate of recurrence in patients with glenohumeral anterior instability.

The importance of the subscapularis tendon in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has been increasingly emphasized lately. Recent studies have indicated that a repaired subscapularis tendon has better functional outcomes. This study is aimed at comparing the healing rate of repaired subscapularis tendons between onlay and inlay Bony Increased Offset-Reversed Shoulder Arthroplasty (BIO-RSA).
