The aim of the study was to elaborate the algorithm of orthodontic treatment of cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients. One hundred and twenty-six CLP patients after CLP plasty preparing for alveolar ridge reconstruction were divided into 3 groups according to their age: 47 (37%) patients aged 6 to 11 years; 50 (40%) aged 12 to 17 years; 29 (23%) patients aged 18-27. Eighty-four (66.7%) patients had unilateral CLP and 42 (33.3%) had bilateral CLP. Complex examination revealed typical dental and maxillofacial features for each group. Clinical and diagnostic imaging data allowed formulating rationale for complex treatment approach and algorithm of treatment option choice according to patients age at the time of alveolar ridge reconstruction.

Enhancing Diabetic Oral Wound Healing with miR-132 Delivered Through Tetrahedral DNA Nanostructures.
Small
January 2025
Department of Operative Dentistry and Endodontics, Shanghai Stomatological Hospital and School of Stomatology, Fudan University, Shanghai, 200001, China.
Oral mucosal injuries are commonly caused by factors such as trauma, infection, or inflammation, especially in diabetic patients where healing is difficult and significantly affects quality of life. In this study, a nanocarrier system based on DNA tetrahedrons (TDN) is developed, which serve as ideal vectors due to their excellent intracellular uptake and drug delivery capabilities. By efficiently delivering miR132 into cells, the proliferation and migration of human oral mucosal fibroblasts (HOMFs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) are regulated, along with the modulation of inflammation and antioxidant processes.

: The success of treatment and prevention for secondary caries hinges significantly on the techniques employed in Class II composite restoration. Additionally, the location of the restored tooth within the oral cavity has emerged as a potential factor determining the quality of the restoration. A comprehensive understanding of these interrelated variables is crucial for advancing the efficacy and durability of dental composite restorations.

Evaluating the effectiveness and survival rates of space maintainers is crucial for optimal pediatric dental care. The present study's goal is to evaluate the survival rate of different types of space maintainers-removable, fixed with a metal base, or fixed with a resin base-indicated for children as a consequence of premature loss of primary teeth. A systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA recommendations and was previously registered in PROSPERO under registration number: CRD42024534183.

The intricate relationship between malocclusions and speech sound disorders (SSDs) is yet to be fully understood. This is particularly true for pediatric patients during the deciduous and mixed dentition stages. Employing a methodical scoping review approach, this study scrutinizes the recent literature to elucidate how these dental misalignments impact speech articulation and phonetic clarity.
