Within the BM tissue, two types of stem cells play crucial roles: mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) (or skeletal stem cells) and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). These stem cells are intricately connected, where BM-MSCs give rise to bone-forming osteoblasts and serve as essential components in the BM microenvironment for sustaining HSCs. Despite the mid-20th century proposal of BM-MSCs, their <em>in vivo</em> identification remained elusive owing to a lack of tools for analyzing stemness, specifically self-renewal and multipotency. To address this challenge, Cre/loxP-based cell lineage tracing analyses are being employed. This technology facilitated the <em>in vivo</em> labeling of specific cells, enabling the tracking of their lineage, determining their stemness, and providing a deeper understanding of the <em>in vivo</em> dynamics governing stem cell populations responsible for maintaining hard tissues. This review delves into cell lineage tracing studies conducted using commonly employed genetically modified mice expressing Cre under the influence of LepR, Gli1, and Axin2 genes.

The purpose of this review was to summarize the etiology of early and late failure requiring dental implant removal and the treatment strategies for the removal of failed implants and reimplantation. Early failures are often caused by patient-related factors, such as smoking, diabetes, radiotherapy, bone quality, and periodontitis of the remaining natural teeth. The most common cause of late failure is peri-implantitis, followed by implant fracture and implant malpositioning. Implants should be removed if they are mobile or if their superstructure cannot be maintained (e.g., implant fracture). For peri-implantitis, implant removal should be determined based on the patient’s age and esthetic needs, the implant site, and the severity of bone loss. Many reports have been published on implant removal techniques. The reverse torque technique should always be the first choice because of its low invasiveness. The weighted survival rate for the replacement of failed implants is 86.3%, with a much lower survival rate after the second or subsequent implantations. Therefore, patient-specific problems, such as smoking habits and bruxism, should be checked before reimplantation and controlled to the greatest extent possible.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51334,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Dental Science Review","volume":"60 ","pages":"Pages 120-127"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1882761624000036/pdfft?md5=888807e463d2b7420b38713484e5c931&pid=1-s2.0-S1882761624000036-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139936695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
