Objective: The lack of a PDL, which acts as an energy absorber, is a contributor to implants' early failure; however, these discrepancies are not well understood because of limited in vivo research. This study investigated the discrepancy in biomechanical behaviors between natural teeth and dental implants by detecting micro-movements in vivo.
Methods: We designed a device that could measure precisely mechanical behaviors such as creep, stress relaxation, and hysteresis by using load-control displacement on teeth and implants. We also compared energy dissipation between natural teeth and dental implants by subtracting the area of the hysteresis loop of natural teeth from that of dental implants.
Results: Biphasic curves with an initial phase of rapid response and a subsequent phase of slow response were confirmed in creep and stress relaxation curves for the load-time relationship in natural teeth. By contrast, the behavior of creep or stress relaxation was less prominent when the dental implants were tested. We observed that the periodontal ligament under an axial intrusive load of 300g in a loading rate 3g/s could dissipate the energy of 7.35±1.18×10 mJ, approximately 50 times that of the dental implants (1.47±1.22×10) with statistically significant (p<0.05).
Significance: We confirmed natural teeth could achieve greater energy dissipation compared to dental implants, which owe to that natural teeth exhibited fluid and viscoelastic properties.

Investigation of validity and inter examiner agreement of quantitative light induced fluorescent images in diagnosing cracked teeth.

The images of the Quantitative Light induced Fluorescent (QLF) device, which provides both natural color images similar to those from intraoral cameras and fluorescent images using 405 nm light in a single shot, were evaluated for the validity and inter examiner reliability in detecting tooth cracks. QLF images of 26 cracked teeth before and after removing crack lines were taken. Two examiners assessed the QLF images before removing the crack line with natural color images, fluorescent images, and combination images showing both images simultaneously, and recorded the crack's location after observing images.

Background: Maxillary canine impaction can result in malocclusion, temporomandibular joint complications, and esthetic concerns, thus influencing craniofacial development. Although cases of impacted canines are not uncommon in clinical practice, the likelihood of simultaneous bilateral impaction is extremely low; very few reports have documented cases of bilaterally symmetrical, inversely impacted canines.
Case Presentation: This paper reports a rare case of maxillary canine impaction, a condition characterized by the abnormal eruption of teeth.
Evaluation of CBCT reconstructed tooth models at different thresholds and voxels and their accuracy in fusion with IOS data: an in vitro validation study.

Background: This study aims to evaluate the impact of different thresholds and voxel sizes on the accuracy of Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) tooth reconstruction and to assess the accuracy of fused CBCT and intraoral scanning (IOS) tooth models using curvature continuity algorithms under varying thresholds and voxel conditions.
Methods: Thirty-two isolated teeth were digitized using IOS and CBCT at two voxel sizes and five threshold settings. Crown-root fusion was performed using a curvature continuity algorithm.
Morphological diversity of the genus Telmatochromis from the Lake Tanganyika drainage with the description of a new riverine species and the generic reassignment of the Malagarasi River lamprologine.

The lamprologine cichlid genus Telmatochromis was long considered primarily lacustrine and endemic to Lake Tanganyika until an undescribed Telmatochromis species was reported from the Lufubu River (Lake Tanganyika drainage, Zambia). A phylogenomic study in 2021 confirmed the association of Telmatochromis sp. "lufubu" with Telmatochromis along with another riverine species, Neolamprologus devosi (Malagarasi drainage, Tanzania).

Primary cilia, functioning as crucial hubs for signal sensing and transduction, are integral to the development and maintenance of homeostasis across various organs. However, their roles in tooth homeostasis and repair remain inadequately understood. In this study, we reveal an indispensable role for primary cilia in regulating the homeostasis and regeneration of teeth, primarily through the regulation of cell proliferation.
