Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that bone demineralization can improve consolidation in bone grafts. The biologic mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain unclear.
Methods: Twelve adult male guinea pigs were used in this experiment. Forty-five bone samples removed from the calvaria of nine animals were divided in groups (n = 9) according to the time of demineralization with citric acid (50%, pH 1): 15, 30, 90, and 180 seconds and non-demineralized samples (control). Preosteoblasts (MC3T3-E1) were cultured on the bone samples for 24, 48, and 72 hours (n = 3). Fifteen samples removed from the remaining three animals were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM/EDS) after demineralization (n = 3).
Results: The number of preosteoblasts increased significantly with time in all groups. The bone surface area covered by these cells increased with time, except in the control group. Intragroup differences occurred between 24 and 72 hours (P < 0.05). Samples demineralized for 30 seconds showed greater area covered by preosteoblast cells than for the other times of demineralization in all periods of cell culture (P < 0.05) without a statistically significant difference compared with 15 seconds. SEM/EDS showed diminished content of calcium (Ca) after 15 seconds of demineralization, but the Ca content increased after 180 seconds of demineralization (P < 0.05). The phosphorus (P) amount increased significantly only after 30 seconds of demineralization (P < 0.5). The sulfur (S) content was increased in demineralized samples in relation to non-demineralized ones, reaching the highest level after 90 seconds, when the difference became significant in relation to all the other times of demineralization (P < 0.05). Magnesium (Mg) content did not differ significantly between demineralized and non-demineralized samples.
Conclusions: Bone surfaces demineralized for 30 seconds increased the spreading of preosteoblasts as well as the surface area covered by these cells. Bone demineralization deserves to be studied in periodontal and maxillofacial regenerative procedures.

Chapter 3: IMPACT OF PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM.

Hospices Civils de Lyon, Groupement Hospitalier Est, Endocrinology Federation, Lyon, France.
At present, primary hyperparathyroidism is most often discovered in an asymptomatic patient, but can sometimes be revealed by a renal or bone complications. In all cases, a full work-up is recommended, with assessment of renal function (glomerular filtration rate), 24-hour calciuria, screening for risk factors for lithiasis, and renal and urinary tract imaging (ultrasound or CT scan) to look for stones or nephrocalcinosis. Bone densitometry, with measurements of the spine, femur and radius, is the recommended reference test for demineralization.

Is ADDM graft practical? A comparative study to evaluate ADDM graft in third molar surgery.
Oral Maxillofac Surg
January 2025
Teerthanker Mahaveer University, Morādābād, India.
Background: It has been outlined that LTM (Lower third molar) extracted from patients in which grinding, cleaning, sterilization & demineralization prove to be highly effective as graft material for filling the alveolar socket of the very same patient. These investigations aim to assess the efficiency of ADDM (Autogenous Demineralized Dentin Matrix) graft in third molar extraction sockets.
Purpose: To check the effectiveness of ADDM as graft material in extraction socket by evaluating pain, swelling, trismus, PD (Probing Depth) and bone density.

Cerebrovascular regulation is critically dependent upon the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide ( ), owing to its effect on cerebral blood flow, tissue , tissue proton concentration, cerebral metabolism and cognitive and neuronal function. In normal environments and in the absence of pathology, at least over acute time frames, hypercapnia is usually managed readily via the respiratory chemoreflex arcs and/or acid-base buffering capacity, such that there is minimal impact on cerebrovascular and neurological function. However, in non-normal environments, such as enclosed spaces, or with pathology, extended exposures to elevations in can be detrimental to cerebral health.
