Background/purpose: With the advancement of an over aging society, the average number of remaining teeth has increased. However, these remaining teeth do not always have sufficient alveolar bone support, and sometimes fabricated connected crowns are applied. This study evaluated the influence of crown material, crown thickness, and alveolar bone resorption on the stress distribution within the abutment teeth of connected crowns.

Materials And Methods: Using structural analysis software, a premolar crown model was fabricated. Three kinds of crown materials, two types of crown thickness, two types of post and core systems, and two levels of alveolar bone were assumed and evaluated for the stress distribution within the abutment teeth.

Results: The higher material properties crown was, the more stress was concentrated at the marginal area. The composite resin core showed larger stress values around the marginal area, and the metal core showed larger stress values at the tip of the post. Alveolar bone resorption progressed, the marginal area stress value increased.

Conclusion: The low elastic modulus crown material polyetheretherketone (PEEK) prevented stress concentrations at the marginal area of the crown and dentine, even with alveolar bone resorption. However, the amount of bone resorption has a great influence on the stress distribution around the tip of the post compared to the type of crown material.

Mucosal immunity plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory immune diseases. This study leverages single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and spatial proteomics to compare the cellular mechanisms involved in periodontitis between humans and mice, aiming to develop precise strategies to protect the gingival mucosal barrier. We identified key conserved and divergent features in cellular landscapes and transcriptional profiles across the two species, underscoring the complexity of inflammatory responses and immune dynamics in periodontitis.

: the mandibular foramen is an essential anatomic landmark in performing various dental and surgical procedures, including inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB). However, its position may vary based on the individual morpho-functional features of the skull and face. This study aims to conduct a personalized assessment of the location of the mandibular foramen in various shapes of skulls, faces, and mandibles.

The purpose of this case report is to examine the management of vestibular bone fenestration during alveolar socket preservation using the Periosteal Inhibition (PI) approach. Here, for the first time, the PI technique, which has been shown to be successful in maintaining intact cortical bone, is examined in the context of a bone defect. : After an atraumatic extraction of a damaged tooth, a vestibular bone fenestration was discovered in the 62-year-old male patient.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and lethal interstitial lung disease (ILD) of unknown origin, characterized by limited treatment efficacy and a fibroproliferative nature. It is marked by excessive extracellular matrix deposition in the pulmonary parenchyma, leading to progressive lung volume decline and impaired gas exchange. The chemokine system, a network of proteins involved in cellular communication with diverse biological functions, plays a crucial role in various respiratory diseases.
