Department of Regeneration Science and Engineering, Institute for Life and Medical Sciences, Kyoto University, Japan.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how the alveolar bone changes over time by analyzing 238 panoramic and 140 CT images to estimate age groups based on these changes.
  • It employs Procrustes analysis to compare younger individuals with older age groups and uses postmortem data to validate age estimation techniques.
  • The findings indicate that both imaging methods reveal significant bone changes related to aging, suggesting a potential for using these assessments in practical age estimation scenarios.

Objective: In recent years, personal identification has been performed using antemortem panoramic X-ray images and postmortem-CT images. Using these, we have developed a personal identification method that focuses on the alveolar bone. This study examined the effectiveness of this method and aimed to implement a reproducible system.

Background And Objectives: The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is one of the mechanisms of laser irradiation in the skin, and there are beneficial and detrimental aspects to this reaction. Detrimental side effects after laser treatments, such as redness and pigmentation, can be reduced by using anti-oxidants.

Materials And Methods: Electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis using a free radical trapping agent revealed that different free radicals, including hydroxyl ((·) OH) and superoxide anion (O 2-) radicals, were generated in the skin of hairless mice by irradiation with intense pulsed light (IPL), plasma, and radio frequency lasers.
