Background: The stability of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) is critical in orthodontic clinics. The failure of TADs is multifactorial, and the role of the oral microbiome has not been clearly defined. Herein, we attempted to analyze the contribution of the oral microbiome to the failure of TADs.

Methods: Next-generation sequencing was adopted for analyzing the microbiome on the TADs from orthodontic patients. 29 TADs (15 failed TADs and 14 successful TADs) were used for 16S rRNA gene sequencing. A total of 135 TADs (62 failed TADs and 73 successful TADs) were collected to conduct metagenomic sequencing. Additionally, 34 verified samples (18 failed TADs and 16 successful TADs) were collected for quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis (qRT-PCR).

Results: Successful and failed TADs demonstrated discrepancies in microbiome structure, composition, and function. Clear separations were found in β-diversity in 16S rRNA gene sequencing as well as metagenomic sequencing (p < 0.05). Metagenomic sequencing showed that Prevotella intermedia, Eikenella corrodens, Parvimonas spp., Neisseria elongata, and Catonella morbi were enriched in the failed groups. qRT-PCR also demonstrated that the absolute bacteria load of Prevotella intermedia was higher in failed TADs (p < 0.05). Considering functional aspects, the failed group showed enriched genes involved in flagellar assembly, bacterial chemotaxis, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Conclusions: This study illustrated the compositional and functional differences of microorganisms found on successful and failed TADs, indicating that controlling bacterial adhesion on the surface of TADs is essential for their success rate.

Background: The aim of this in vitro research was to compare and evaluate the stability of TADs coated with PRP over 6 months. TAD stability is essential for the long-term success of orthodontic treatment. PRP has become a valuable adjunct to promote healing in many procedures of oral surgery.

Current knowledge in three-dimensional (3D) chromatin regulation in normal and disease states was mostly accumulated through Hi-C profiling in cell culture system. The limitations include failing to recapitulate disease-specific physiological properties and often lacking clinically relevant disease microenvironment. In this study, we conduct tissue-specific Hi-C profiling in a pilot cohort of 12 breast tissues comprising of two normal tissues (NTs) and ten ER+ breast tumor tissues (TTs) including five primary tumors (PTs), and five tamoxifen-treated recurrent tumors (RTs).

Background: This study investigates characteristics of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) use by surveying a sample of international orthodontists. Furthermore, the survey investigates the stability, insertion technique, and failure rate of TADs and professionals' experience in residency, and it also attempts to establish guidelines for its use in everyday practice.

Methods: A 19-question survey was sent to orthodontists worldwide asking opinion-based, case-specific, and placement technique questions regarding TADs.
