Abstract Background Extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, are nanoparticles increasingly recognized as key regulators of intercellular communication in both physiological and pathological aspects. Despite rapid progress, inconsistencies in nomenclature, isolation, and characterization continue to restrict translational advancement.

Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely applied for inferring diet in vertebrates. Besides diet and ingesta properties, factors like wear stage and bite force may affect microwear formation, potentially leading to tooth position‐specific microwear patterns.

We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...

ABSTRACT Objectives Variability in interpreting orthopantomograms can have greater impact on regional and remote patients who experience poorer oral health, have reduced service access and incur greater costs, if referred to out‐of‐community services. Structured orthopantomogram reporting and specialist advice pathways may support more consistent image

This umbrella review of 21 systematic reviews evaluates occlusal splint therapy for TMD. Findings indicate mostly small beneficial or neutral effects on pain and mouth opening. Consequently, clinicians should prioritise cost‐effectiveness and patient preferences when considering splints, given the high variability in methodological quality across ...

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.
