Dual Effects of β‐TrCP2 Deletion in Bone Homeostasis: Suppression of Osteoclastogenesis and Enhancement of Osteoblast Activity

OBJECTIVES: To elucidate role of beta-transducin repeat-containing protein 2 (β-TrCP2) in bone homeostasis for its potential as a therapeutic target for osteoporosis. METHODS: ) mice. Bone microarchitecture was assessed by micro-computed tomography, and osteoclast and osteoblast...

Success criteria for dental implants over the past 48 years

More than a century has passed since dental implants were first introduced and documented in the English literature.As the Korean Academy of Implant Dentistry (KAID) celebrates its 50th anniversary, there is a critical need to clarify the dental implant success criteria establish...

Oral health and the risk of dementia: a systematic review, meta-analysis, and comparative evaluation against established systemic risk factors

Oral health has been increasingly associated with dementia and cognitive decline, but the magnitude and consistency of associations across distinct oral-health domains remain unclear. We systematically evaluated domain-specific associations between oral health conditions and deme...

Anomaly Localization and Classification of Jaw Cysts and Tumours Using Anatomy-Conditioned Diffusion on Panoramic Radiographs

Objectives Accurate localization and classification of jaw cysts and tumours on panoramic radiographs are important for timely referral and treatment planning but remain challenging due to overlapping anatomy, heterogeneous lesion appearances, and dental restorations. This study...

Prioritizing dental care in South Korean prisons: a dual-structured triage model integrating medical urgency and willingness to pay

Dental care in correctional institutions is often constrained by limited resources, raising concerns about treatment prioritization. This study explores how prison health dentists (PHDs) allocate dental treatments based on clinical urgency and inmates' willingness to pay (WTP), a...

Familial clustering of clinically measured oral health in co-resident three-generation families: a family-linkage study using KNHANES data

Abstract Background Oral diseases cluster in families and follow a strong social gradient, yet how far this familial patterning extends across generations, and whether it reflects shared socioeconomic position, is poorly understood. Most evidence is limited to parents and childre...

Clinical and radiographic outcomes of lateral sinus augmentation using a controlled osteotomy strategy: an analytical retrospective observational study

Abstract Background Lateral sinus augmentation is a widely used procedure for implant placement in the posterior maxilla with insufficient residual bone height. This study retrospectively described the clinical and radiographic outcomes of lateral sinus augmentation performed usi...

Effect of silane treatment and resin cement type on bond strength to three-dimensional printed restorative resin: an in vitro experimental study

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of different resin cements to three-dimensional (3D)-printed restorative resins and to investigate the effects of silane treatment and substrate type on bonding performance. Methods: Four resin cements-three s...

Endoscopic Endonasal Removal of an Intranasal Mesiodens: Importance of Three-Dimensional Evaluation for Approach Selection

Although mesiodens is a frequently encountered supernumerary tooth, its complete migration into the nasal cavity is a rare clinical finding that can lead to various nasal symptoms. This report describes a case of an intranasal mesiodens that had fully migrated out of the maxillar...

The Effect of Central Sensitization on Long‐Term Prognosis and Comorbidity Levels in Temporomandibular Disorders: A Prospective Longitudinal Study

ABSTRACT Background Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) have the potential to progress to a chronic form associated with various comorbidities. Prolonged symptoms may lead to central sensitization (CS), resulting in decreased treatment response and highlighting the need for persona...

The Utilization of Dental Services Among Indonesian Youth: A Nationwide Study Based on the Expanded Andersen Behavioral Model

Background The purpose of this study was to examine factors associated with dental service utilization among Indonesian youth using the Expanded Andersen Behavioral Model (EABM). Methods This cross-sectional study assessed data from 3332 people aged 15 to 24 from the 2023 Indones...

Impact of denosumab therapy on periapical healing following root canal treatment: a 10-year retrospective case-control study

Abstract Introduction Denosumab is a potent RANKL inhibitor used for osteoporosis, yet its impact on root canal treatment (RCT) outcomes remains less understood compared to bisphosphonates. This study evaluated the periapical healing outcomes of RCT in patients receiving denosuma...

Do collagen membranes with different thickness-related mechanical properties affect the outcomes of lateral bone augmentation? An immunohistochemical analysis

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated immunohistochemical profiles associated with guided bone regeneration (GBR) using collagen membranes with different thickness-related mechanical properties to characterize membrane-related biological responses during lateral bone augmentation. MET...
