Factors associated with survival of teeth following initial endodontic therapy
… aim of this retrospective study is to review the tooth retention rate of primary endodontically treated teeth at University of Pennsylvania Graduate Endodontics department (PGE) and faculty practice (PDFP) and compare it to the tooth retention rate of non-surgical retreatment and surgical …

A Novel Biomimetic Scaffold for Guided Tissue Regeneration of the Pulp - Dentin Complex
… % of school children have some form of untreated tooth decay or have suffered trauma to the front teeth which results in pulp damage. If left untreated, these teeth are susceptible to premature fracture/loss under daily stresses. In cases of adolescent tooth loss, teenagers cannot get dental …

Investigating Possible Scurvy in the Postclassic Maya of Tipu
… along with periodontal disease and antemortem tooth loss to determine if there was a co-occurrence with scurvy.</p> <p> Overall, 27% of the sample showed indications of mild scurvy. In age comparisons, sub-adults between 6 and 15 had the highest rate of lesions at 33% affected, and those over …

Differential expression of microRNAs in human External Cervical Root Resorption
… condition that involves localized destruction of tooth structure, often resulting in tooth loss. ECR has been reported since the 1900s, however a complete understanding of its pathogenicity is lacking. Currently no target therapies are available. miRNA are crucial noncoding RNAs that influence …

Assessing the accuracy of the zygoma for estimating ancestry using geometric morphometrics in a South African sample
… Age-related changes and antemortem tooth loss did not confound the ancestral variation in size, despite minor changes in zygomatic shape being associated with these two factors. These confounders did not impact ancestry estimation accuracies, further suggesting a minor impact on …

TREM-1 and TREM-2 Protein Expression in Healthy and Diseased Human Gingival Tissue: A Pilot Study
… and the supportive alveolar bone leading to tooth loss and other health risks. Studies have shown that chronic inflammation in some systems is modulated by TREM-1 and TREM-2. TREM-1 amplifies inflammation while TREM-2 functions as an inhibitor. This study aimed to analyze the expression of …
