Myeloid A20 Regulates Periodontal Tissue Integrity and Temporomandibular Joint Structure

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Dysregulation of A20 signaling has been implicated in several immune‐mediated diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, conditions characterized by excessive NF‐κB activation and inflammatory tissue damage. The structural alterations observed in this model suggest that impaired regulation of innate immune signaling may increase ...

Computed tomographic features of presumed normal palatine tonsils in 140 dogs

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives The purpose of this retrospective study was to describe the CT features of presumed normal canine palatine tonsils. Materials and Methods Pre‐ and post‐contrast head CT studies of 140 dogs without tonsillar disease were included. Subjective evaluation of palatine tonsils included contrast enhancement pattern, differentiation from surrounding

Electromyography Frequency Spectrum Is a Better Indicator of Sleep Bruxism Severity Related to Temporomandibular Disorder Pain Than Conventional Masticatory Muscle Activation and Bruxism Time Indices—A Pilot Study

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep bruxism (SB) has been reportedly associated with temporomandibular disorder (TMD); however, solid evidence is lacking. Previous studies have primarily used traditional metrics, such as the masticatory muscle activity (MMA) index and bruxism time index (BTI) to investigate the link between SB and TMD.

Comparative Evaluation of Treatment Effectiveness in Skeletal Class III Malocclusion: Surgery‐First Approach Using Clear Aligners Versus Fixed Appliances

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to assess treatment outcomes, identify predictors of relapse in skeletal Class III patients treated with the surgery‐first approach (SFA), comparing fixed appliances (FA) with invisalign clear aligners (CA). Materials and Methods Forty adult patients treated with bimaxillary surgery and SFA were retrospectively ...

3D Analysis of Mandibular and Glenoid Fossa Responses to Bone‐Anchored Maxillary Protraction in Patients With UCLP

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Bone‐anchored maxillary protraction (BAMP) has been increasingly used to correct midface deficiency and Class III malocclusion in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). However, its three‐dimensional (3D) effects on the mandible remain insufficiently explored.

A Dual Control Study on the Treatment of Adolescent Skeletal Class III Malocclusion With Customised Titanium Plate Bone‐Anchored Maxillary Protraction

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To explore the effect of personalised titanium plate Bone‐anchored maxillary protraction (BAMP) on the maxillofacial structure of adolescents with skeletal Class III malocclusion. Methods A total of 20 patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion were selected as the treatment group 1 (TG1) with treatment using individualised BAMP ...

Orthodontic and Maxillofacial Surgery Treatment in Achondroplasia for Orofacial Alterations: A Systematic Review and Preliminary Age‐Stratified Guidelines

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This systematic review aimed to collect and appraise the clinical outcomes of all orthopaedic, orthodontic and surgical interventions in ACH patients. Following PROSPERO protocol, multiple database sources were searched to December 2024 with no language restrictions for (i) genetically confirmed ACH; (ii) any orthodontic/orthopaedic ...

The Effects of Dietary Loading on Chondrocytes Transdifferentiation During Postnatal Maxillary Growth

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The mid‐palatal suture is a key growth site for transverse maxillary expansion, yet the cellular mechanisms governing its postnatal development and response to mechanical loading remain poorly defined. This study investigated the contribution of chondrocyte‐derived osteogenesis to maxillary bone formation and the influence of ...

Three‐Dimensional Assessment of Upper Airway Morphology and Sleep‐Disordered Breathing Risk in Unilateral Craniofacial Microsomia: A Pilot Study

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Unilateral craniofacial microsomia (UCM) presents varying unilateral deficiencies of the temporomandibular joint, mandibular ramus, masticatory muscles, and adjacent soft tissues and ear. Reduced mandibular and maxillary dimensions may decrease upper airway volume and may increase the risk of sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB).
