Yet precise and accurate quantification of mandibular movements is critical for understanding temporomandibular biomechanics and how certain movements may contribute to temporomandibular dysfunction. This is particularly relevant to clinical procedures that might move the mandible near or beyond its functional range of motion. We present a novel approach that integrates cone-beam computed tomography, optical intra-oral scans, and six degree-of-freedom electromagnetic sensor data to quantify mandibular movements. This method employs rigid body transformations to generate subject-specific three-dimensional (3D) envelopes of motion and assess whether incisal and condylar landmarks remain within their functional 3D envelopes of motion. We demonstrate the clinical utility of this approach through simulated mandibular poses presented relative to the limits of incisal and condylar envelopes created from that individual's voluntary border movements. Our findings reveal that condylar or incisal points in simulated mandibular poses are located beyond their normal motion envelopes, highlighting the importance of simultaneous monitoring of incisal and condylar landmarks. This methodology provides a clinically relevant tool for understanding temporomandibular biomechanics and it has the potential to signal clinicians when jaw movements during dental and oral surgical procedures approach or exceed the jaw's functional range of motion and such corrective feedback could prevent adverse effects on the TMJ.</p>","PeriodicalId":73077,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in dental medicine","volume":"6 ","pages":"1654118"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12484160/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145214622","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}

Four adhesives were evaluated: Bioactive Universal Bond with CMET (BA), Clearfil Universal Bond Quick (CU), Prime & Bond Universal (PB), and Scotchbond Universal Plus Adhesive (SUB). To assess mineralization properties, BA specimens were immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) at 37°C, in line with ISO 23317, and the induced crystals were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. Anti-demineralization was evaluated by applying each adhesive to polished bovine dentin, followed by a one-week pH cycling protocol. Transverse microradiography (TMR) was used to quantify the integrated mineral loss. The antibacterial activity was assessed using eluates prepared by immersing the cured specimens in distilled water for seven days, followed by serial dilutions (10%, 5%, 1%, and 0.5%). These eluates were incubated with <i>Streptococcus mutans</i>, <i>Actinomyces viscosus</i>, and <i>Lactobacillus casei</i> for 24 h at 37°C. Viable bacterial counts were determined using the quantitative polymerase chain reaction following propidium monoazide treatment. BA exhibited distinct mineralization in SBF, likely attributable to CMET, and was characterized by the formation of octacalcium-phosphate-like crystals. TMR analysis showed that BA significantly suppressed demineralization at the dentin-material interface in relation to the other adhesives. In antibacterial assays, 5% and 10% BA eluates markedly suppressed the growth of <i>S. mutans</i> and <i>A. viscosus,</i> whereas CU, PB, and SUB exhibited inhibitory effects at only 10% concentration for <i>S. mutans</i> and had no impact on <i>A. viscosus</i>. Notably, only the 10% BA eluate significantly inhibited <i>L. casei</i> growth. Despite the limitations of the <i>in vitro</i> experiments, these findings suggest that BA possesses multifunctional properties, supporting its potential as an effective adhesive system for the prevention and treatment of caries.

This study aimed to develop a CBCT-based 3D visualization system for gingival thickness using deep learning, providing a novel spatial assessment tool for implant surgery planning.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>CBCT and intraoral scanning (IOS) data from 50 patients with tooth loss were collected to establish a standardized dataset. DeepLabV3+ architecture was employed for semantic segmentation of gingival and bone tissues. A 3D visualization algorithm incorporating vertical scanning strategy, triangular mesh construction, and gradient color mapping was innovatively developed to transform 2D slices into continuous 3D surfaces.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The semantic segmentation model achieved a mIoU of 85.92 ± 0.43%. The 3D visualization system successfully constructed a comprehensive spatial distribution model of gingival thickness, clearly demonstrating GT variations from alveolar ridge to labial aspect through gradient coloration. The 3D model enabled millimeter-precision quantification, supporting multi-angle and multi-level GT assessment that overcame the limitations of traditional 2D measurements.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This system represents a methodological advancement from qualitative to spatial quantitative GT assessment. The intuitive 3D visualization serves as an innovative preoperative tool that identifies high-risk areas and guides personalized surgical planning, enhancing predictability for aesthetic and complex implant cases.</p>","PeriodicalId":73077,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in dental medicine","volume":"6 ","pages":"1635155"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12399636/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144994640","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}
