Lip repositioning for gummy smile: A case series evaluating postoperative lip length and patient satisfaction with 6-month follow-up

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Cases
Background: A harmonious smile is a key component of facial aesthetics, with normal gingival display ranging from 1 to 3 mm. Excessive gingival exposure, defined as a gummy smile, can result from skeletal, dentoalveolar, or soft tissue factors ...

TH17–Associated Polyamine Metabolism‐Guided Nanozyme Promotes Alveolar Bone Repair in Periodontitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A pronounced TH17‐skewed immune response is identified in experimental periodontitis, and enrichment of the polyamine pathway is observed during TH17 differentiation, suggesting its potential as an immunometabolic target. Inspired by these findings, DFMO@Ui‐Mn is developed as a therapeutic platform combining cascade ROS scavenging with immunometabolic ...

An Integrated modified lip repositioning using bioresorbable collagen membrane: A long-lasting auxiliary treatment approach for gummy smile

Journal of International Clinical Dental Research Organization, 2019
Excessive gingival display is one of the major causes of patient embarrassment. An imbalance in the gingiva–tooth ratio results in the dominance of gingival appearance often referred to as “gummy smile.” A normal gingival display between the inferior ...

Zebrafish xenograft models as a fast platform for metastasis diagnosis and cisplatin response of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
A zebrafish xenograft model accurately distinguishes metastatic from non‐metastatic HNSCC and recapitulates cisplatin sensitivity/resistance patterns. Using patient‐derived tumors, it predicts individual therapeutic responses, offering a rapid, clinically applicable platform for guiding personalized treatment. Abstract Background Head and neck squamous

Modified Titanium Dental Implants: The Current Progress of Soft‐Tissue Integration Methods

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Dental implants are an established solution for tooth loss, yet achieving soft tissue integration (STI) around the transmucosal region remains a challenge. The natural tooth–gingiva interface is poorly replicated on titanium implants. This review explores surface modification strategies, ranging from surface chemistry and topography to biological ...

Developmental differences in cortical bone structure in chimpanzee and human femora reflect early locomotor independence in humans

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The cortical bone structure of long bone diaphyses changes throughout growth via skeletal modeling and has important implications for bone strength and structural integrity. Ontogenetic trends in diaphyseal structure have been identified in both chimpanzees and humans but it is not yet clear how these trends compare given notable differences ...

Targeting neutrophil extracellular traps in metabolic and immune niche: Nanomaterials for diabetes tissue regeneration

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The effects of NETs on regeneration of various diabetic tissues, and strategies targeting NETs for diabetes tissue regeneration. In the diabetic environment, NETs undergo complex metabolic and immune reprogramming, leading to dynamic changes in antibacterial and proinflammatory functions, and affecting regeneration of multiple systemic tissues.
