While previous studies have demonstrated that mandibular prognathism (MP) alters masticatory-induced brain blood flow (BBF), the temporal characteristics of these hemodynamic changes have remained unclear. In this cross-sectional observational study, we investigated the following two specific objectives: (1) whether food hardness affects not only the magnitude but also the temporal patterns of BBF changes during mastication and (2) how malocclusion is associated with these temporal hemodynamic responses. <b>Methods</b>: Twenty-six participants with normal occlusion (NORM) and twenty patients with MP participated in this study.

The occlusal contact area exhibited significant positive correlation with maximum oxy-Hb values, while the ANB angle, an indicator of intermaxillary skeletal relationship, showed no significant correlation with BBF parameters.

Time-to-peak BBF was approximately twice as long for hard gummy candy compared to paraffin in both groups, with no significant differences between groups. <b>Conclusions</b>: These findings reveal that while MP attenuates the magnitude of masticatory-induced BBF, particularly during hard food mastication, the temporal adaptation to increased food hardness is preserved.

A peritonitis model and a ligature-induced periodontitis model were employed to investigate the relationship between neutrophil activity and alveolar bone loss. <b>Results</b>: Neutrophils from aged mice exhibited reduced migration toward pathogens compared to those from young mice. However, aged neutrophils showed increased superoxide production, elevated phagocytic activity, and enhanced NETosis. In the periodontitis models, these age-related neutrophil alterations coincided with accelerated alveolar bone loss in aged mice. <b>Conclusions</b>: The findings indicate that aging is linked to dysregulated neutrophil functions, characterized by excessive oxidative stress, heightened phagocytosis, and increased NETosis. These functional changes may contribute to immune dysregulation and tissue damage, thereby promoting age-related alveolar bone loss in periodontitis.</p>","PeriodicalId":11269,"journal":{"name":"Dentistry Journal","volume":"13 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12191755/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144483575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
