Root surface biomodification in periodontal therapy: Biological rationale and clinical applications
Abstract Regenerative periodontal therapy aims to form new cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone, all sealed by gingival tissue. The root surface acts as the wound margin during this regeneration process. Root surface biomodification (root conditioning/root decontamination), therefore, seems instrumental in promoting surface decontamination

Abstract Orthodontic therapy applies forces to teeth, causing an inflammatory reaction in the periodontal ligament. This is repaired by remodeling of the periodontium, allowing tooth displacement. Although orthodontic therapy is mostly initiated during childhood and adolescence, the number of adults seeking this treatment is increasing as our society's

Long‐term stability of horizontal bone augmentation at implant sites
Abstract Horizontal bone augmentation is a fundamental surgical procedure in regenerative implant dentistry. In recent decades, this procedure has evolved, enabling clinicians to achieve predictable and stable horizontal bone augmentation that supports dental implant restorations.

Abstract Background Aging is accompanied by a chronic low‐grade inflammatory process, known as inflammaging, as well as immunosenescence, an age‐related decline and dysregulation of immune function, and cellular senescence, a process in which cells enter a state of irreversible growth arrest while actively releasing pro‐inflammatory factors.

Abstract Objective To determine and compare the fixation strength of conjunctival pedicle flaps to cornea achieved via conventional ophthalmic suture and three different adhesive compounds. Animals Studied Ex vivo porcine globes. Procedures Following a 6 mm wide 500‐micron‐restricted depth lamellar keratectomy, conjunctival pedicle flaps were secured ...

Abstract figure legend The regeneration of Aβ low‐threshold mechanoreceptors (Aβ‐LTMRs), sensory neurons responsible for discriminative touch, has not previously been explored. Here, we took advantage of the selective expression of Calb1 in Aβ‐LTMRs to generate two genetic mouse models for studying their regenerative response after nerve injury.

ABSTRACT Endoscopic stricturotomy (ES) is a novel approach for treating benign strictures of the lower gastrointestinal tract. However, it is performed at a limited number of facilities, and strategies for preventing complications have not yet been established. We performed ES for ileo‐sigmoid anastomosis associated with Crohn's disease (CD).
