Proton induced X-ray emission spectroscopy (PIXE) has been used to determine the intensity of metals from crowns in human teeth. In order to measure elements distribution across the tooth section, proton beam (3 MeV) has been collimeted to provide a spatial resolution of 300 microns. The samples were selected according to the time of insertion of crowns and the kind of alloys they were made of. The results show the intensities of gold, zinc and copper in abutment teeth. It was not found any intensity of paladium and amount of silver was not significant.

Proteome differences of dental stem cells between permanent and deciduous teeth by data-independent acquisition proteomics.

Dental pulp stem cells hold significant prospects for tooth regeneration and repair. However, a comprehensive understanding of the molecular differences between dental pulp stem cells (DPSC, from permanent teeth) and stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED, from deciduous teeth) remains elusive, which is crucial for optimizing their therapeutic potential. To address this gap, we employed a novel data-independent acquisition (DIA) proteomics approach to compare the protein expression profiles of DPSC and SHED.

Background: Menopause is an important milestone in the women's life continuum and is associated with potentially adverse effects, including those related to oral health. This study assessed self-reported periodontal disease in relation to menopausal status.
Methods: A cross-sectional study involving a convenience sample of female university dental hospital attendees was conducted using a validated, self-administered, self-reported periodontal disease questionnaire.

In modern dentistry, prosthetic approaches such as implants and dentures have been developed as symptomatic solutions for tooth loss. However, the complete regeneration of teeth and periodontal tissue, an ultimate aspiration of humanity, remains unachieved. Recent advancements in fundamental scientific technologies, including single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, have significantly advanced our molecular understanding of tooth development, paving the way toward achieving this goal.

Mackay Memorial Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Background: Cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) is the most common apical radiopaque lesion that develops in the tooth-bearing area. However, large, destructive lesions are rare. Herein, we report a case in which COD extended to bilateral condyles, affecting the entire mandible, and was managed with denosumab rather than surgical resection.

Department of Orthodontics, University Hospital Bonn, Medical Faculty, Welschnonnenstr. 17, 53111, Bonn, Germany.
Background: Children with non-syndromic cleft lip with or without palate (CL ± P) may present alterations in dental development. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to compare the dental age (DA) between children with and without CL ± P, and whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding growth factors are associated with DA variations.
Methods: Children aged between 5 and 14 years with and without CL ± P were recruited to participate in this study.
