Comparative efficacy of novel bioactive glass versus sodium fluoride toothpaste for dentin hypersensitivity

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This first‐in‐human clinical study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a bioglass incorporated in a toothpaste, in reducing dentin hypersensitivity (DH) compared to a sodium fluoride (NaF) toothpaste over a 2‐week period. Methods A double‐blind, randomized, parallel‐arm, proof‐of‐concept clinical trial was conducted with 46

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
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,

The scale matters: A review on stimuli‐responsive microrobots categorized by scale for biomedical applications

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
We systematically summarize how each scale dictates fundamental choices in design feature, manufacturing technology, driving mechanism, and control strategy, which are inherently governed by scale‐dominated physical principles. Furthermore, the application of scale‐determined operation modes of microrobots across different stages of medical ...

Chronic Traumatic Dental Occlusion: Its Impact on Temporomandibular Joint and Systemic Health, and Clinical Management Strategies

Australian Dental Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Traumatic dental occlusion (TDO) is a multifactorial and dynamic clinical condition that extends beyond localised tooth wear and has been reported to be associated with alterations in temporomandibular joint biomechanics, neuromuscular function and overall masticatory system performance. While acute dental trauma often receives greater
