Purpose: To establish the model of alveolar ridge preservation after tooth extraction for dental implant replacement, and to observe the effect of tissue engineered bone on osseointegration.
Methods: Isolated BMSCs were expanded and osteogenically induced in vitro. The tissue engineering complex was constructed with BMSCs/A-PCPC in vitro. Six extraction sockets, with three on each side, were created in the mandibles of four Beagle dogs by extracting the second, third and fourth premolars. BMSCs/A-PCPC were placed on one side of the extraction sockets, while autogenous bone, A-PCPC and nothing were placed on the other side as control. X-ray and CT scans were conducted 1day, 4 and 12 weeks after operation to detect the change of the alveolar ridge. The bone of sockets were harvested at 8-week post-implantation and subject to histological for evaluating. SPSS17.0 software package was used for data analysis.
Results: Radiographs demonstrated higher radiodensity in group of complex than in simple materials group, autogenous bone group after 4 weeks. Hard tissue biopsy at 12-week showed that bone activity of BMSCs/A-PCPC complex was better than the other groups. Spiral CT analysis showed that alveolar ridge of each group experienced a certain degree of absorption. At 12-week, the alveolar ridge height reduction values in A-PCPC group was smaller than in A-PCPC group, autogenous bone group and blank group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The BMSCs/A-PCPC complex is favorable for preservation of alveolar ridge.

We describe a woman in her late 20s with newly diagnosed systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), who presented with fulminant pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) requiring inotropic and extracorporeal support. She was established on triple pulmonary vasodilator therapy with concurrent aggressive immunosuppression; however, treatment was complicated by infection and diffuse alveolar haemorrhage, necessitating delays in immunosuppression and withdrawal of epoprostenol. Despite this, with ongoing suppression of her SLE, her pulmonary haemodynamics improved, with normal pressures on right heart catheterisation several months later allowing stepdown to sildenafil monotherapy.

Background: Understanding healing of the alveolar process is crucial for immediate implant, alveolar ridge preservation and guided bone regeneration procedures, and to evaluate it several different scales have been proposed; however, all have different characteristics and seem to miss a standardization allowing for an objective and dichotomous evaluation of the different aspects of wound healing. The objective of the present study is to propose and apply, in real clinical scenarios, a novel index for the objective evaluation of wound healing following erupted tooth extraction.
Methods: Healthy patients in need of a single tooth extraction were enrolled and re-examined at 7, 14 and 21 days after the extraction using the novel index proposed.

Introduction And Importance: Restoring lost teeth in the posterior atrophic maxilla presents a significant challenge due to insufficient bone volume for implant placement. Simultaneous implant placement during lateral sinus lift is often considered, but the decision is typically based on the amount of existing bone. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of simultaneous implant placement and maxillary sinus floor augmentation in the atrophic posterior maxilla using autogenous bone ring.

The reduction in alveolar ridge height and width after tooth extraction poses a substantial challenge for dental implant restoration. This study aimed to observe the roles of S100A8 in the inflammatory response and bone resorption following tooth extraction. Rat mandibular second molars were extracted.

Background: The aging of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) impairs bone tissue regeneration, contributing to skeletal disorders. LncRNA NEAT1 is considered as a proliferative inhibitory role during cellular senescence, but the relevant mechanisms remain insufficient. This study aims to elucidate how NEAT1 regulates mitotic proteins during BMSCs aging.
