Functional tooth unit, periodontal status, and association with weight change in older adults
Abstract Background Literature reports that having fewer teeth is associated with reduced chewing capacity, which in turn may lead to weight changes due to diminished oral functionality. This study aims to assess the association between functional tooth units (FTU) and periodontal status and weight change among older adults participating in the Health,

Predictability of a dental implant prognosis system: A retrospective study
Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate the predictability of the dental implant prognosis system proposed by Kwok et al. in 2023 by assessing implant survival rates across different initial prognosis categories over a 5‐year period. Methods Data were retrospectively collected from patients who received at least one dental implant from 2013 ...

ABSTRACT The prevalence of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) has been steadily increasing. Ferroptosis has been recognized as a critical factor influencing the bone‐forming ability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Valproic acid (VPA), an HDAC inhibitor, has been suggested to play a role in regulating osteoporosis development; however ...

Abstract Purpose Functional knee positioning (FKPos) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) optimises outcomes by balancing individual anatomical and soft tissue characteristics. Managing marked varus deformity presents challenges in achieving balance when tibial alignment is restricted to 3° of varus, necessitating either medial soft tissue release or ...
