Eccentric Occlusal Loads Remodel the Dentoalveolar and Temporomandibular Biomechanical Unit in Rats

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Eccentric occlusal loads remodel the dentoalveolar and temporomandibular joints in the masticatory biomechanical unit in rats. (A) Bite block as an occlusal rise (OR) on the rat maxillary first molar (green region) is shown. (B) 18F‐NaF Positron emission tomography localised regions of higher metabolic activity (higher uptake in the left condyle ...

Navigating challenges in prosthodontic rehabilitation after long‐term delay following fibula free flap reconstruction with a unique overlay removable prosthesis and large vertical dimension increase

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract This case report highlights the experience of one maxillofacial surgical patient who delayed prosthodontic treatment for 7 years as they saved to self‐fund access to a subsidized prosthodontic service. Without the benefit of a restored opposing dentition for a prolonged period of time, maxillary occlusal plane disruption occurred as a ...

Assessing the ability of large language models to summarize and generate maxillofacial prosthetic treatment options

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The aim was to evaluate the ability of four large language models (LLMs) (OpenAI's ChatGPT‐3.5, Microsoft 365 Copilot, DeepSeek‐R1, and Google Gemini 2.5 Pro) to develop treatment options when presented with clinical cases published in the maxillofacial prosthodontics literature.

Virtual articulation using sequential mandibular intraoral scans and computational functional rotation reference determination—Proof‐of‐concept

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Virtual articulators require accurate spatial orientation of digital casts for meaningful occlusal analysis during prosthesis design. Current methods for establishing this orientation rely on facial scanning, cone‐beam computed tomography, electronic jaw tracking, or arbitrary population–based values. This proof‐of‐concept technique presents a

Cell Therapy for Periodontal, Soft‐Tissue, and Craniofacial Regeneration

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The clinical translation of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) represents a major advancement in dentistry, especially for periodontal, soft‐tissue, and craniofacial regeneration. However, several challenges remain to be addressed, including the absence of standardised protocols, limited scalability, regulatory hurdles, a lack of well‐controlled ...

Soft Tissue Substitutes: Current Biomaterials and Indications at Teeth and Implant Sites

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This manuscript provides an updated overview of the current evidence on soft tissue graft substitutes for teeth and dental implants. When appropriately indicated, these biomaterials offer a reliable, less invasive alternative to autogenous grafts, effectively improving root coverage, keratinized mucosa width, and soft tissue thickness with reduced ...

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and

Bilateral Gum Chewing as Proprioceptive Sensorimotor Re-Education for Patients with Masticatory Muscle Weakness Presenting with Orofacial Pain and Perceived Occlusal Change: A Technical Note with a Retrospective Case Series

Bioengineering
Within the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders, masticatory myalgia is framed around muscle hyperactivity, yet a recognizable subgroup shows the opposite profile—low muscle tone, fatigue, masticatory pain, and a persistent sense that the ...
