Quantitative micro‐XRF combined with X‐ray imaging reveals correlations between Zn concentration and dentin tubule porosity across entire teeth

VIEW, EarlyView.
The combination of calibrated micro‐CT and quantitative micro‐XRF measurement facilitates the correlation of density and composition in the 3D macro‐structure of teeth. Zn concentration in dentin increases by a factor of 10 toward the pulp. Incidentally, the overall density decreases, showing an association between Zn and the dentin tissue porosity ...

Consumption of anthropogenic foods influences the nutritional and reproductive condition of hunter‐harvested black bears

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The consumption of human food subsidies influences ecological processes, and can affect individual behavior and fitness with population level changes in abundance and distribution. American black bears Ursus americanus often consume human food subsidies, which have been correlated with increased bear body size, age‐specific fertility and mortality ...

Surface Micro‐Discharge Plasma for Multiple Teeth Bleaching: Efficacy, Mechanism and Safety

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the commonly‐used bleaching chemical in clinical practice, but its excessive concentrations can cause tooth damage. Atmospheric pressure cold plasma is considered a promising new technique for tooth bleaching. Surface micro‐discharge (SMD) devices can generate large‐scale plasma, which holds potential for treating ...

Synergistic RU486 and olaparib therapy enhances apoptosis in endometriosis by simultaneously targeting hormonal signalling and DNA repair

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Endometriosis is a chronic, hormone‐dependent disorder characterized by ectopic implantation of endometrial tissue, often accompanied by pain and infertility. Although the progesterone receptor modulator RU486 is effective for pain relief, its impact on lesion regression is limited, possibly due to apoptosis resistance and ...

Repeated Use of Emergency Departments for Nontraumatic Dental Conditions: Factors Associated With Being a Superutilizer

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Due to inadequate access to regular, affordable dental care, many patients turn to emergency departments (EDs) for the treatment of nontraumatic dental conditions (NTDCs). NTDC ED visits are a large burden on the U.S. healthcare system, with over 1.3 million visits each year and over $1 billion in associated charges.

Single‐Cell Virtual Perturbation Screening Identifies STAT3 as a Key Regulator of Dentinogenesis

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
STAT3 promotes odontoblast differentiation in dental mesenchymal cells by transcriptionally regulating WNT2B via the canonical Wnt/β‐catenin signalling pathway. These findings elucidate a mechanism underlying dentine development. ABSTRACT Dentine formation constitutes a physiological process precisely regulated by signal transduction modules governing ...

Maltreatment and Dental Trauma in Preschool Children: A Cohort Study

Dental Traumatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Child maltreatment (CM) has been associated with adverse oral health outcomes during childhood. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between CM and dental trauma (DT) in the primary dentition. Aim To evaluate the association between CM and DT at 4 years of age.

Loss of Tooth Structure After Successive Removal of Temporary Restorative Materials by Dental Students Between Endodontic Treatment Sessions: An In Vitro Study

European Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the loss of tooth structure after the removal of temporary restorative materials between endodontic treatment sessions performed by undergraduate students. Methods Twenty human molar teeth underwent endodontic coronal access and were randomly divided into two groups.
