A material for ridge preservation should have dimensional stability to resist bio-degradation. This study was designed to compare bio-degradation of ridge preservation materials. Collagen plug was used as a positive control. Untreated, ethanol-treated, and 4-hexylresorcinol (4HR)-treated silk plugs were used for the experimental group. Each material underwent a scanning electron microscopic exam and a Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic exam. Bio-degradation was evaluated by analyzing cylindrical bony defects in rabbit tibias. There were no prominent differences in microstructure among the silk plug groups. FT-IR exam demonstrated that the ethanol- and 4HR-treated silk plug groups had enhanced β-sheet structure. All silk plug groups exhibited significantly higher residual graft than the collagen plug group 4 weeks postoperative ( < 0.05). In conclusion, silk fibroin-based ridge preservation material was less bio-degradable than a collagen plug until at least 4 weeks after grafting.

Alveolar ridge loss presents difficulties for implant placement and stability. To address this, alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) is required to maintain bone and avoid the need for ridge augmentation using socket grafting. In this study, a scaffold for ARP was created by fabricating a 3D porous dense microfiber silk fibroin (mSF) embedded in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), which mimics the osteoid template.

The human body houses many distinct and interconnecting microbial populations with long-lasting systemic effects, where the oral cavity serves as a pathogens' reservoir. The correlation of different disease states strongly supports the need to understand the interplay between the oral tissue niche and microbiome. Despite efforts, the recapitulation of gingival architecture and physiological characteristics of the periodontal niche has yet to be accomplished by traditional cultural strategies.

A split sample/dual method research protocol is demonstrated to increase transparency while reducing the probability of false discovery. We apply the protocol to examine whether diversity in ownership teams increases or decreases the likelihood of a firm reporting a novel innovation using data from the 2018 United States Census Bureau's Annual Business Survey. Transparency is increased in three ways: 1) all specification testing and identifying potentially productive models is done in an exploratory subsample that 2) preserves the validity of hypothesis test statistics from de novo estimation in the holdout confirmatory sample with 3) all findings publicly documented in an earlier registered report and in this journal publication.

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.

Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the histomorphometric findings of autogenous tooth grafting (ATG) for alveolar ridge preservation (ARP), using graft material from extracted teeth. Variations by sex, age and location of extracted teeth, as well as any associated complications, were also assessed.
Materials And Methods: This prospective, single-cohort study was conducted using ATG placed in extraction sockets.
