Background: This study aims to assess whether hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) applied immediately after tooth extraction could ameliorate medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in rats.
Methods: To evaluate whether osteonecrosis could be successfully induced, healing of extraction maxillary molars was examined in 40 female Sprague Dawley rats received zoledronic acid (7.5 µg/kg) plus dexamethasone (1 mg/kg). Rats were divided into four groups, receiving zero, two, four, or seven injection(s) for 7 days, respectively. Effect of HBO, pressurized to 2.5 atmospheres absolute (ATA) at rate of 0.15 ATA/min with 100% oxygen for 90 minutes, applied immediately after tooth extraction, on the development of osteonecrosis was evaluated. Lesions among groups were compared by size of ulceration, exact area (mm ) or relative area (%), and by histology.
Results: Unhealed ridge was observed in all nine rats in four and seven injection groups, but none of 10 rats in the control (non-injection) group. Immediate HBO significantly reduced the lesions in rats that received four injections, regardless of the distribution and the total/relative areas of lesions (P <0.01). Histological findings showed the lesions were uncovered epithelium and severe tissue inflammation.
Conclusion: This is the first in vivo study demonstrating the HBO applied immediately after tooth extraction effectively decreases the development of medication-related osteonecrosis.

In situ bone regeneration and vertical bone augmentation have been huge problems in clinical practice, always imposing a significant economic burden and causing patient suffering. Herein, MgZnYNd magnesium alloy rod implantation in mouse femur resulted in substantial subperiosteal new bone formation, with osteoimmunomodulation playing a pivotal role. Abundant macrophages were attracted to the subperiosteal new bone region and proved to be the most important regulation cells for bone regeneration.

: Following tooth extraction, resveratrol (RSV) can support healing by reducing inflammation and microbial risks, though its poor solubility limits its effectiveness. This study aims to develop a solid nanocomposite by embedding RSV in lipid nanoparticles (mLNP) within a hydrophilic matrix, to the scope of improving local delivery and enhancing healing. Hydroxyapatite (HXA), often used as a bone substitute, was added to prevent post-extraction alveolus volume reduction.

: This work investigated the effect of bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) alone or with chemisorbed chlorhexidine or povidone-iodine on post-tooth extraction repair in rats undergoing bisphosphonate therapy. : Forty Wistar rats were treated with zoledronic acid, subjected to tooth extractions and allocated into groups according to the material inserted in the post-extraction socket: (1) BNC ( = 10); (2) BNC/Iodine ( = 10); (3) BNC/Chlorhex ( = 10); (4) Control ( = 10). Maxillae were dissected and macro- and microscopically analyzed.

As the life span of companion animals increases and their owners' concern for their quality of life increases, interest in dental diseases has also gained attention. While many studies have explored oral diseases in general, research on small-breed dogs remains limited. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed various diseases that led to tooth extraction in small- and medium-breed dogs.

: Tooth extraction induces significant alveolar ridge dimensional changes and soft tissue modifications, often leading to challenges in implant placement or conventional prosthetic rehabilitation. Alveolar Ridge Preservation (ARP) strategies aim to mitigate post-extraction resorption of the alveolar ridge, enhancing both the quality and quantity of bone and soft tissue during healing. Hyaluronic acid (HYA) has emerged as a promising biological agent for ARP due to its osteoinductive, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties.
