Universal Hydrogel Carrier Enhances Bone Graft Success: Preclinical and Clinical Evaluation
TX hydrogel improves the delivery of different types of particulate bone grafts, maintaining them at the implantation sites, and resulting in favorable bone regenerative outcomes. Abstract Orthopedic, maxillofacial, and complex dentoalveolar bone grafting procedures that require donor‐site bone harvesting can be associated with post‐surgical ...

High doses of zoledronic acid induce differential effects on femur and jawbone microstructure
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study is to investigate the long‐term effects on jaw and femur bone induced by oncologic doses of zoledronic acid in a young rat model. Material and Methods Six 12‐week‐old male Wistar rats received zoledronic acid (0.6 mg/kg) and six control rats received saline solution in the same volume.

A novel hydrogel (HLBP) incorporating natural polysaccharides from goji berries is developed to enhance diabetic bone defect healing. The hydrogel efficiently scavenges ROS, improves osteogenic differentiation, and promotes in vivo bone regeneration. This strategy offers a biocompatible and localized approach, overcoming the challenges of traditional ...

Towards Earlier Detection of Oral Diseases On Smartphones Using Oral and Dental RGB Images [PDF]
Oral diseases such as periodontal (gum) diseases and dental caries (cavities) affect billions of people across the world today. However, previous state-of-the-art models have relied on X-ray images to detect oral diseases, making them inaccessible to remote monitoring, developing countries, and telemedicine.

A semi-parametric Bayesian model of inter- and intra-examiner agreement for periodontal probing depth [PDF]
Periodontal probing depth is a measure of periodontitis severity. We develop a Bayesian hierarchical model linking true pocket depth to both observed and recorded values of periodontal probing depth, while permitting correlation among measures obtained from the same mouth and between duplicate examiners' measures obtained at the same periodontal site ...

Telediagnosis of dental caries: Possible or impossible? A pilot cross‐sectional study
Abstract Objectives The aims of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of teledentistry (based on a home intraoral imaging protocol) in detecting dental caries and to assess the accuracy of this method compared to clinical examination. Methods Forty‐three patients were recruited for the study. Using a protocol for taking intraoral photographs at
