Objective: The aim of this study was to determine how the removal of non-impacted third molars (N-M3s) affects the periodontal status of neighboring second molars (M2s).
Subjects And Methods: The periodontal condition of M2s for which the neighboring N-M3s were removed (more than 6 months previously) and those with intact N-M3s was analyzed in a cross-sectional observation study. In an additional case series, periodontal changes in M2s in response to adjacent N-M3 removal were observed during a 6-month follow-up period.
Results: A total of 457 patients with 1,301 M2s were enrolled in this cross-sectional observational study. Compared to M2s with neighboring N-M3s, M2s without neighboring N-M3s (teeth removed more than 6 months previously) exhibited a 0.27-mm reduction in the average pocket depth (PD) (p < .001) and a 0.38-fold reduced risk of at least one probing site with PD ≥5 mm (PD5+) (p < .001). Subsequently, a 41-case follow-up study showed that 6 months after neighboring N-M3 extraction, the PD of the M2s decreased by 0.31 mm (p < .001), while the incidence of PD5+ decreased by 21.9% when compared to the parameters detected before tooth extraction (p = .004).
Conclusions: Removing N-M3s was associated with an improved periodontal condition in neighboring M2s.

Two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheet membranes hold promise for exact molecular transfer due to their structural diversity and well-defined in-plane nanochannels. However, achieving precise regulation of stacking modes between neighboring nanosheets in membrane applications and understanding its influence on separation performance remains unrevealed and challenging. Here, we propose a strategy for accurately controlling the stacking modes of MOF nanosheets via linker polarity regulation.

Third molars (M3s) can increase the pathological risks of neighboring second molars (M2s). However, whether the M3 presence affects M2 loss remains unknown. This retrospective study aimed to reveal the reasons for M2 loss and how M2 loss relates to neighboring M3s.

During silver electrodeposition on Au nanoparticle (NP)-covered highly oriented pyrolitic graphite, a transition from an initial growth of microsized particles to the growth of dendrites with pine tree shape (nanotrees) is observed, which is an advancement for material growth with hierarchical surface roughness. Using kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of an electrodeposition model, those results are explained by the interplay of diffusive cation flux in the electrolyte and relaxation of adsorbed atoms by diffusion on quenched crystal surfaces. First, simulations on NP-patterned substrates show the initial growth of faceted silver particles, followed by the growth of nanotrees with shapes similar to the experiments.

Considering the adverse effects of nonimpacted third molars (N-M3s) on the periodontal health of adjacent second molars (M2s), the removal of N-M3s may be beneficial to the periodontal health of their neighbors. This study aimed to investigate the clinical, immunological, and microbiological changes of the periodontal condition around M2s following removal of neighboring N-M3s across a 6-month period. Subjects with at least one quadrant containing an intact first molar (M1), M2, and N-M3 were screened and those who met the inclusion criteria and decided to receive N-M3 extraction were recruited in the following investigation.

Background: The diffusing capacity, which measures gas-exchange, uses reference values based on data from American or European studies. There are currently no reference values of pulmonary diffusing capacity (TL) and its components, such as the conductance of the membrane (Dm) and capillary lung volume (Vc) for healthy North African children.
Objectives: We determined the prediction equations-reference values for TL, Dm, Vc and the alveolar volume (VA) in healthy Tunisian boys.
