Tooth-shaped plasmonic waveguide filters with nanometeric sizes [PDF]
Opt. Lett. 33, 2874-2876 (2008), 2009 A novel nanometeric plasmonic filter in a tooth-shaped Metal-Insulator-Metal waveguide is proposed and demonstrated numerically. An analytic model based on the scattering matrix method is given. The result reveals that the single tooth-shaped filter has a wavelength filtering characteristic and an ultra-compact size in the length of a few hundred ...

Risk of Tooth Loss After Cigarette Smoking Cessation [PDF]
, 2006 INTRODUCTION. Little is known about the effect of cigarette smoking cessation on risk of tooth loss. We examined how risk of tooth loss changed with longer periods of smoking abstinence in a prospective study of oral health in men. METHODS.

PMP22 exon 4 deletion causes ER retention of PMP22 and a gain-of-function allele in CMT1E [PDF]
, 2017 OBJECTIVE: To determine whether predicted fork stalling and template switching (FoSTeS) during mitosis deletes exon 4 in peripheral myelin protein 22 KD (PMP22) and causes gain‐of‐function mutation associated with peripheral neuropathy in a family with ...

Genetic analysis: Wnt and other pathways in nonsyndromic tooth agenesis.
Oral Diseases, 2018 Tooth agenesis (TA) is one of the most common developmental anomalies that affects the number of teeth. An extensive analysis of publicly accessible databases revealed 15 causative genes responsible for nonsyndromic TA, along with their signaling ...

Intraoral Drug Delivery: Bridging the Gap Between Academic Research and Industrial Innovations
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Intraoral drug delivery offers a promising route for systemic and localized therapies, yet challenges such as enzymatic degradation, limited permeability, and microbial interactions hinder efficacy. This figure highlights innovative strategies—mucoadhesive materials, enzyme inhibitors, and permeation enhancers—to overcome these barriers.

The Oral Microbiota Is Modified by Systemic Diseases
Journal of dentistry research, 2018 Periodontal diseases are initiated by bacteria that accumulate in a biofilm on the tooth surface and affect the adjacent periodontal tissue. Systemic diseases such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) increase ...

Supervariate Gel Transforms into Various Biominerals in Salt Solutions
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.It is revealed that common calcium‐based biominerals can form from a stable, non‐toxic ‘supervariate’ gel. This tunable gel selectively yields calcite or hydroxyapatite in carbonate/phosphate solutions, while CaCl₂ facilitates the formation of dihydrate calcium pyrophosphate, which converts to hydroxyapatite upon drying. These findings provide insights

A latent factor model for spatial data with informative missingness [PDF]
Annals of Applied Statistics 2010, Vol. 4, No. 1, 439-459, 2010 A large amount of data is typically collected during a periodontal exam. Analyzing these data poses several challenges. Several types of measurements are taken at many locations throughout the mouth. These spatially-referenced data are a mix of binary and continuous responses, making joint modeling difficult.
