The Incidence of Dental Caries, Periapical Root Resorption, and Alveolar Bone Loss Among the Navajo Indians of Monument Valley, Utah
… permanent tooth periapical root resorption, and alveolar bone loss was assessed. The relationship of tooth malpositioning to the specific parameter was subsequently determined.</p> <p>The sample was divided into arbitrary age groups.</p> <p>Periapical roentgenograms were taken of each subject and …

Osteoimmunological Characterization of Borrelia burgdorferi-Induced Bone Loss: From Phenotype to Molecular Mechanisms
… and disseminates to various tissues, including bone. B. burgdorferi induces trabecular long bone loss in murine models, but its phenotype and molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Furthermore, it is not known if B. burgdorferi induces loss of alveolar bone (supporting teeth). We first conducted …

Maize and Bone: An Evaluation and Expansion of a Proposed Model for the Differential Diagnosis of Pellagra in Human Remains
… Collection were evaluated for caries, alveolar bone loss, periostitis, osteoporosis, cribra orbitalia, and porotic hyperostosis. Results indicate that the pellagra sample had lower rates of caries and alveolar bone loss, and higher rates of periostitis of the tibia and fibula in …

Effect of Zoledronic Acid on Maxillary Alveolar Bone Coverage in Rice Rats With and Without Dental Trauma
… for the treatment of pathologies affecting bone remodeling. Currently they represent the most commonly prescribed therapy for osteoporosis, with over 5 million prescriptions filled in the United States every year. Over the last decade the use of high dose nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates …

Factors Affecting Gingival Recession in the Esthetic Zone: A Human Cadaver Study
… in fresh cadavers: gingival thickness, buccal bone loss, buccal bone thickness, shape of bony dehiscence defect, and age. A secondary aim was to evaluate predictors for gingival recession.</p> <p>Sixteen fresh cadavers were used in this study. Gingival recession, facial gingival thickness, …

NG2/CSPG4 Regulates Alveolar Bone and PDL Microstructure in a Sex-Dependent Manner
Periodontal disease leads to alveolar bone loss through a complex, multifactorial process involving chronic inflammation. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate bone formation and resorption in alveolar tissues is essential for identifying new therapeutic targets for periodontitis. …

Assessment of Human Alveolar Bone Density by Using Volumetric CT Machine
<p>This study evaluated bone density in designated implants sites using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and compared the measurements to those of quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and subjective bone density evaluation. Sixty-two designated implant sites in 9 human cadavers jaws were …

The role of autophagy in protecting periodontium integrity, and lipopolysaccharide-induced osteoclast differentiation
… dependent. Autophagy may also be important for bone remodeling in the oral cavity. Two scenarios where bone remodeling is key to the physiological outcome are orthodontic tooth movement and inflammatory-induced periodontal disease. This thesis aims to investigate the hypothesis that autophagy is …

Are Bone Turnover Markers and Vitamin D levels associated with Frequency of Complete Denture Relines?
… of complete denture relines in terms of their bone turnover markers; C-terminal Telopeptide (C-Tx), Osteocalcin (OCN) and Vitamin D (25 OH-Vit D) levels to determine the presence of and the degree of association between them.</p> <p>METHODS: This study was designed as a cross-sectional study …

Morphological Changes in Alveolar Bone Following Orthodontic Space Closure
… </em>Changes occurring in anterior alveolar bone following orthodontic tooth movement are controversial. Some research has shown that orthodontic tooth movement results in the adaptation of cortical bone; others have shown that it results in dehiscence and fenestrations.</p> …

CBCT Evaluation of Morphological Changes to Alveolar Bone Due to Orthodontic Tooth Movement
… the risk of potential damage to tooth roots and alveolar bone. A decision regarding the correct placement of the lower incisors will be largely determined by the amount of adaptation possible within the alveolar bone. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to use Cone Beam Computed Tomography …
