Clinical periodontal diagnosis
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

Efzimfotase Alfa Improves Respiratory Capacity in Muscle Tissue From a Mouse Model of HPP. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inherited metabolic disease caused by deficient tissue‐nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and characterized by skeletal and nonskeletal symptoms, including muscle weakness and fatigue. We hypothesized that mitochondrial respiration is impaired in muscle in HPP, independent of skeletal manifestations ...

Asfotase alfa is a human recombinant enzyme replacement therapy for hypophosphatasia. We describe 6 adults who were treated with asfotase alfa for 61–68 months in a clinical trial (NCT01163149), after which asfotase alfa was discontinued for 15–48 months.

Short stature with low serum alkaline phosphatase activity: a case report of hypophosphatasia [PDF]
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare condition characterized by abnormal bone mineralization. The manifestations of HPP vary from no symptoms to intrauterine fetal death; short stature is another indication of HPP.

Dental loss, stress fractures, and musculoskeletal pain in a 48‐year‐old woman
We report a 48‐year‐old female patient with various stress fractures of extremities, musculoskeletal pain, and tooth loss. Hypophosphatasia was diagnosed based on clinical and laboratory findings and ALPL genetic results.

Validation of a novel scoring system for changes in skeletal manifestations of hypophosphatasia in newborns, infants, and children: The Radiographic Global Impression of Change scale [PDF]
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is the heritable metabolic disease characterized by impaired skeletal mineralization due to low activity of the tissue-nonspecific isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase.

Phospho1 deficiency transiently modifies bone architecture yet produces consistent modification in osteocyte differentiation and vascular porosity with ageing [PDF]
PHOSPHO1 is one of principal proteins involved in initiating bone matrix mineralisation. Recent studies have found that Phospho1 KO mice (Phospho1-R74X) display multiple skeletal abnormalities with spontaneous fractures, bowed long bones, osteomalacia ...

Prevention of the disrupted enamel phenotype in Slc4a4-null mice using explant organ culture maintained in a living host kidney capsule. [PDF]
Slc4a4-null mice are a model of proximal renal tubular acidosis (pRTA). Slc4a4 encodes the electrogenic sodium base transporter NBCe1 that is involved in transcellular base transport and pH regulation during amelogenesis.
