Parathyroid hormone (PTH) can promote bone formation and mineralization in mandibular fractures, and is systemically administered through daily injections. In this study, the local delivery of PTH using carboxymethyl chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol and alginate was investigated. Bovine serum albumin was used as a drug substitute, and the delivery system was verified to release drugs in a pulsed rhythm. After the delivery system was subcutaneously implanted in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, no rejection reaction was detected, indicating that it has good biocompatibility and biodegradability . Then, an SD rat model of mandibular fracture was established, and 24 rats were randomly divided into two groups. The control group was reduced and fixed with screws and a microplate, and the experimental group received pulsatile PTH release system (14 μg PTH) + screws and microplate fixation. The animals were euthanized on postoperative weeks 1-4. Observation of gross specimens, digital radiography, and hematoxylin and eosin showed that the local PTH pulsatile release system promoted osteogenesis and accelerated fracture healing. In summary, PTH can be loaded by biomaterials to locally target the fracture and stimulate bone formation. Moreover, the pulsatile PTH release system provides a potential therapeutic protocol for mandibular fracture. Impact statement Our study prepares a drug release system that could impulsively release parathyroid hormone. The system could enhance bone regeneration in rats with mandibular fracture. These data provide a foundation for future studies aimed to understand and optimize the use of bioactive molecule pulsatile delivery for bone regeneration and tissue engineering applications.

The actin cytoskeleton plays an important role in morphological changes of ameloblasts during the formation of enamel, which is indispensable for teeth to withstand wear, fracture and caries progression. This study reveals that the actin nucleator Cobl is expressed in ameloblasts of mandibular molars during amelogenesis. Cobl expression was particularly pronounced during the secretory phase of the enamel-forming cells.

Objective Osteoporosis-related fractures are a significant health issue in aging societies, necessitating effective screening and prevention strategies. While panoramic radiographs are widely used for osteoporosis screening via mandibular cortical bone morphology, there is insufficient consensus on the quantitative analysis of alveolar bone mineral density (al-BMD) using intraoral radiographs. This study aimed to measure al-BMD in young adults and investigate its relationship with general skeletal bone mineral density (gs-BMD) at the lumbar spine (LSBMD) and femoral neck (FNBMD).

Objective: The primary rationale of the study is to assess the biomechanical aspects of Champy's, monoplanar, biplanar, and 3D strut plating systems using an model in the management of the angle of mandible fracture.
Methods: Thirty-two hemi-sectioned mandibles ( = 32) were obtained from adult goats and divided into four groups ( = 8) for different plating techniques: monoplanar, biplanar, Champy's, and three-dimensional curved angle strut plating. A customized biomechanical test machine simulated masticatory loads by applying compressive forces.

Introduction: Mandibular angle fractures (MAFs) are divisive and have led to debate in terms of treatment. The study evaluated the new angled miniplate (banana plate) with the conventional miniplate for management of MAFs.
Patients And Methods: The study included 53 patients of MAFs, 26 treated with the conventional miniplate (control group) and 27 with the angled miniplate (study group).

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes, such as duration of surgery, ease of surgical access for fixation, injury to branches of the facial nerve, and scar assessment encountered on using the Berger-Tenenhaus approach for open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of subcondyle, ramus, angle, and body fractures of mandible.
Materials And Methods: This was a prospective clinical study. Patients were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.
