A 6-year-old boy with a skeletal Class III malocclusion was treated with the use of the fixed own design orthodontic appliance. The device includes acrylic-splint with a three-sided (Bertoni) screw mounted in them, an arc element in the region of the front teeth for protractive action on them, metal hooks for the face mask. Orthodontic treatment using that appliance allowed to normalize the upper dental arche in the sagittal and transversal directions. Thus, conditions for normal growth and development of the dentofacial complex were created, which is the main goal of early orthodontic intervention.

Body piercing has become popular among people of all ages, inspired by religious convictions, personal aesthetics, and cultural influences. Piercings in the oral cavity frequently involve the lip, buccal mucosa, frenulum, and tongue with needles, hooks, and rings. However, these piercings might cause long-term problems to both the hard and soft tissues of the mouth.

Introduction: Malocclusion is a prevalent public health concern among adolescents, impacting both dental health and psychosocial well-being.

Aims And Objectives: To assess the prevalence of orthodontic treatment needs among adolescents aged 10-13 years in Bhubaneswar using the dental health component (DHC) and aesthetic component (AC) of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) and to analyze gender-based differences.

Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 450 school-going children aged 10-13 years using cluster sampling across Bhubaneswar.

Inflammation alters the expression and activity of the mechanosensitive ion channels in periodontal ligament cells.

Eur J Orthod

December 2024

Division of Paediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, the University of Hong Kong, 34 Hospital Road, Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong SAR, China.

Background: Periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) possess mechanotransduction capability, vital in orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) and maintaining periodontal homeostasis. The study aims to elucidate the expression profiles of mechanosensitive ion channel (MIC) families in PDLCs and how the inflammatory mediator alters their expression and function, advancing the understanding of the biological process of OTM.

Methods And Methods: Human PDLCs were cultured and exposed to TNF-α.

Regenerating periodontal bone defect surrounding periodontal tissue is crucial for orthodontic or dental implant treatment. The declined osteogenic ability of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) induced by inflammation stimulus contributes to reduced capacity to regenerate periodontal bone, which brings about a huge challenge for treating periodontitis. Here, inspired by the adhesive property of mussels, we have created adhesive and mineralized hydrogel microspheres loaded with traditional compound cordycepin (MMS-CY).

Objective:  The mechanical stimulation known as orthodontic mechanical force (OMF) causes biological reactions in orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). Heat shock protein-70 (HSP-70) needs pro-inflammatory cytokines to trigger bone resorption in OTM; nevertheless, heat shock protein-10 (HSP-10), a "Alarmin" cytokine, should control these pro-inflammatory cytokines to get the best alveolar bone remodeling (ABR).
