Development of simple predictive models of tooth loss in the community setting
Abstract Background A simple tool for predicting the risk of tooth loss is considered valuable for the implementation of early preventive measures in community settings. This study aimed to establish a simple predictive model for tooth loss in a community‐dwelling Japanese population.

Abstract Background Free palatal gingival grafts (FGG) are commonly harvested during mucogingival procedures. The present study investigates age‐related local and systemic early secondary wound healing outcomes, following FGG harvest in a rat model. Methods A 4.2 mm diameter defect was created in the palate of 24 younger (2 m) and 24 older (6 m) Wistar

Functional tooth unit, periodontal status, and association with weight change in older adults
Abstract Background Literature reports that having fewer teeth is associated with reduced chewing capacity, which in turn may lead to weight changes due to diminished oral functionality. This study aims to assess the association between functional tooth units (FTU) and periodontal status and weight change among older adults participating in the Health,

Feeding difficulties in children with esophageal atresia: A parent‐reported multicenter study
Abstract Objective Feeding difficulties (FDs) are common among children with esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), but knowledge about their prevalence and risk factors is limited. This multicenter study aimed to assess the prevalence, subtypes, and associated factors of FD in children with EA/TEF. Methods Parents of children who

Confocal Raman microscopy was used to map the dentin–enamel junction (DEJ) across four mammalian species. Chemical maps highlighted variations in mineral (phosphate/carbonate) and organic (amide/CH) phase. These results provide a comparative Raman framework to link tooth microchemistry with species‐specific structure and function.
