Patients with HSAN may present with a wide range of factitial injuries, where injury to the oral cavity may be an early presenting sign. While existing literature on HSAN is scant, many reports highlight the long-term outcomes that may include enucleation of eyes, amputation of fingers and limbs, and disfigurement of the tongue. This case describes a five-month-old female with repetitive injury to the tongue causing it to heal with a bifid deformity. The patient was later diagnosed with HSAN type 4. This case highlights the importance of recognition of extensive oral trauma as one of the early signs of HSAN that should provoke a timely referral for neurological assessment.","PeriodicalId":73077,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in dental medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135778497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, while those tools, procedures, and instruments may produce an improved clinical diagnosis or discover a new disorder, they also can be misused and misinterpreted in various ways. In the field of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), the very nature of those conditions is similar to common orthopedic problems elsewhere in the body. Yet, beyond imaging of the affected areas, there have been few important new technological approaches to augment the traditional history and examination for a sufficient diagnosis of such problems. The traditional approach is exemplified by the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders which has high inter-examiner reliability and diagnostic validity; translations into over 20 languages allow for widespread use. In contrast and unfortunately, the TMD field is replete with a variety of so-called diagnostic instruments and procedures, which have not been tested for diagnostic validity; these instruments and procedures, through misuse, are capable of complicating a true diagnosis of patients who present with symptoms, while also creating new patients by finding so-called abnormalities in healthy subjects. This paper discusses those technological approaches and their misuse with respect to TMD diagnosis from a critical viewpoint, and the authors argue that there are significant risks for patients if their uncritical implementation becomes accepted and widespread. Therefore, dentists are encouraged to reject the proposed application of such technological approaches to diagnosis of the stomatognathic system.","PeriodicalId":73077,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in dental medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136013940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While traditional guided tissue regeneration treatments have involved cell occlusive membranes, bone replacement graft scaffolds, and endogenous multipotent mesenchymal stem cells, the use of adjunctive materials to enhance healing outcomes has been studied and many such adjunctive factors are in common current clinical use. This report will focus on the current and emerging adjunctive growth factors and signaling molecules that can be used to optimize periodontal regeneration in periodontal intrabony defects, their mechanisms of action, the challenges associated with periodontal regeneration, and future avenues for research.","PeriodicalId":73077,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in dental medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135095599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Poor healing outcomes arise from lack of cell and tissue infiltration, and ill-fitting interfaces between matrices or grafts, resulting in fibrous tissue formation, inflammation, and resorption. Existing tissue engineering scaffolds struggle to recover from deformation to fit irregularly shaped defects encountered in clinical settings without compromising their mechanical properties and favorable internal architecture. This study introduces a synthetic biomaterial scaffold composed of high molecular weight poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) and an interpenetrating network of poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL), in a composition aiming to address the need for conformal fitting synthetic matrices which retain and recover their advantageous morphologies. The scaffold, known as thermosensitive memorized microstructure (TS-MMS), forms nanofibrous materials with memorized microstructures capable of recovery after deformation, including macropores and nanofibers. TS-MMS nanofibers, with 50–500 nm diameters, are formed via thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) of PLLA after in situ polymerization of PCL-diacrylate. A critical partial-melting temperature of TS-MMS at 52°C enables bulk deformation above this temperature, while retaining the nanofibrous and macroporous structures upon cooling to 37°C. Incorporation of drug-loaded poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles directly into TS-MMS nanofibers during fabrication allows sustained release of a model drug for up to 40 days. Subcutaneous implantation in vivo using LysM-Cre;td-Tomato; Col1eGFP mice demonstrates successful cellularization and integration of deformed/recovered TS-MMS materials, surpassing the limitations of deformed PLLA scaffolds, to facilitate cell and vasculature infiltration requisite for successful bone regeneration. Additionally we demonstrated a method for embedding controlled release vehicles directly into the scaffold nanofibers; controlled release of simvastatin enhances vascularization and tissue maturation. TS-MMS scaffolds offer promising improvements in clinical handling and performance compared to existing biomaterial scaffolds.","PeriodicalId":73077,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in dental medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135719447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
