Objectives: The mechanisms of regional acceleratory phenomenon (RAP) induced by orthognathic osteotomy are unclear. It was not known if locally hypoxic microenvironment changes were involved in this phenomenon.
Methods: Hypoxia-induced factor-1α knockout mice harboring Cathepsin K (CTSK) Cre were used to investigate the effect of hypoxia-driven osteoclasts on alveolar bone remodeling. RAW264.7 cells were induced by CoCl to observe the effects of dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP) on the fusion and differentiation of osteoclasts.
Results: We found mandibular osteotomy of C57 mice induced active alveolar osteoclasts and increased hypoxia-induced factor-1α (HIF-1α) positive staining areas. Alveolar bone density of the 10-week-old HIF-1α conditional knockout (CKO) mouse was increased at 10 and 14 days after bilateral mandibular osteotomy. Moreover, decreased numbers of osteoclasts and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9)-positive cells were observed on the surface of bone resorption lacunae in the CKO group. HIF-1α could increase the expression level of DC-STAMP to enhance osteoclastogenesis and cell fusion in active RAW264.7 cells.
Conclusion: Our data considered hypoxia-driven osteoclasts resorption to be an adaptive mechanism to permit alveolar bone loss after bilateral mandibular osteotomy of mice.

Purpose: Proper tooth alignment directs occlusal forces along the long axis, supporting optimal masticatory function and periodontal health. Deviations that lead to non-axial forces are common; however, teeth with such deviations often maintain optimal health. This study aims to assess various occlusal and periodontal parameters in teeth experiencing non-axial forces to better understand the underlying reasons and mechanisms that contribute to their maintained health status.

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.

Background and objective Alveolar ridge defects in partially edentulous patients present significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment planning. Seibert's classification system provides a structured approach to categorizing these defects based on the buccolingual and apico-coronal dimensions of the ridge. Accurate classification is crucial for determining appropriate treatment strategies for implant placement, fixed prosthesis, or tissue augmentation.

Background: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) therapy is a novel approach for treating COPD. However, the difficulty in engraftment and easy clearance of BMSCs in vivo has hindered their clinical application. Hence, exploring effective methods to improve the engraftment and differentiation rates of BMSCs in vivo is urgent.

Despite the widespread use of ultrasonography (US) in medical diagnostics, there is no similar US device available for visualizing jawbone density. This study is a narrative review of the possible applications of US in dentistry. This review is divided as follows: (a) Pulse-echo ultrasonography: the applications offer new perspectives for periodontal and peri-implant assessment.
