Using Participatory System Dynamics Approaches to Improve Community‐Based Oral Healthcare Delivery: A Case Study of the ElderSmile Program

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study leveraged system dynamics approaches to improve community‐based oral healthcare delivery via the ElderSmile program. Insights and inferences from focus groups and key informant interviews with older adults and their service providers, respectively, were integral to understanding feedback mechanisms articulated in participatory ...

Elucidating the cellular actions of demineralised dentine matrix extract on a clonal dental pulp stem cell population in orchestrating dental tissue repair

open access: yesJournal of Tissue Engineering, 2015
Bioactive growth factors identified within the extracellular matrix of dentine have been proposed roles in regulating the naturally inherent regenerative dentine formation seen in teeth in response to trauma and infection, which may also be harnessed for

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

open access: yesVIEW, 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 ...

Space biomedicine‐oriented bioink and biomimetic blood‒brain barrier

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Bioinks and bioprinting play a pivotal role in the successful delivery of cell models and the fabrication of tissue models for space biomedicine research. This study investigated the effects of hypergravity and vibration on two‐dimensional adherent cells and three‐dimensional embedded cells and provided methods for storing hybrid bioink and high ...

Harnessing energy metabolism for enhanced bone defect repair: Mechanisms and therapeutic strategies

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
This review addresses the critical challenge of bone defect repair by focusing on the underexplored role of cellular energy metabolism. It synthesizes regulatory mechanisms in bone‐forming cells and sums up innovative strategies—leveraging cell derivatives, active factors, and biomimetic scaffolds—to modulate metabolism for enhanced regeneration.

A 30-Month Follow-Up of Stepwise Excavation without Re-entry with Three Different Biomaterials: A Case Report

open access: yesJournal of Islamic Dental Association of Iran, 2013
Background and Aim: Restoration of deepdental caries without pulp exposure is usually challenging for dentists. In order to prevent pulp exposure and subsequent root canal therapy (RCT), indirect pulp capping is usually performed. Stepwise excavation (SE)

Effect of fish oil on lipopolysaccharide-induced hydroxyapatite loss in rat alveolar bone: A Preliminary Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Dietary fish oil has been shown to inhibit bone resorption and, therefore, the aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that fish oil alters lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced hydroxyapatite loss in rat alveolar bone. Rats were divided into four
