Studies in which TJR was compared with other surgical or non-surgical methods were searched and analyzed. Data extraction and quality assessments were performed by at least two investigators independently. Risk of bias was assessed with the ROBINS-I-tool. Certainty of evidence was assessed with GRADE.Results: A total of 2,891 studies were identified in the search. One study met the criteria with comparison of TJR with a control group consisting of patients treated with another surgical method, namely, interpositional arthroplasty. The study investigated the outcome variables such as pain reduction and improvement in mouth opening and had a moderate risk of bias. No significant difference between the groups was found after regression analysis. Quality of life assessment was not the objective of this study. No meta-analysis could be performed from this literature search, for obvious reasons.Conclusion: TMJ reconstruction with alloplastic prostheses is rapidly evolving, with new systems continually entering the market. This review highlights the urgent need for further scientific efforts, including well-designed trials capable of demonstrating the comparative effectiveness of alloplastic TJR against other treatment modalities, ideally randomized trials with controls.","PeriodicalId":7313,"journal":{"name":"Acta Odontologica Scandinavica","volume":"84 ","pages":"258-265"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144109386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to compare the biofilm dissolving capacity of different irrigation techniques in resin blocks with two lateral canals manufactured with 3D printers. Materials and methods: Biofilm-mimicking hydrogel was placed in the upper and lower lateral canals of 75 resin blocks. Main canals of the blocks were irrigated with 5% NaOCl. Then, the blocks were randomly divided into five groups: sonic activation (SA), passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), intracanal heating (ICH), self-adjusting file (SAF) and control. The amount of hydrogel removed was measured by weighing the blocks before and after the treatment and further visually scored. Data were analyzed using Kruskall Wallis H, Wilcoxon, Tukey Post-hoc HSD (Honestly Significant Difference) and one-way ANOVA tests.Results: The SAF group showed the highest hydrogel scores compared to other groups (p < 0.05). The hydrogel dissolution capacity of the SA group was lower compared to SAF, PUI and ICH techniques (p < 0.05). Based on visual scoring, SAF group was superior to other activation methods (p < 0.05) which are similar to each other (p > 0.05) in both upper and lower lateral canals. Conclusion: All activation methods were superior than the control group. The SAF system demonstrated superior hydrogel dissolving ability, while SA, PUI, and ICH groups showed similar effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":7313,"journal":{"name":"Acta Odontologica Scandinavica","volume":"84 ","pages":"266-274"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12138388/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144109383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, no study reported the association between hyperglycemia and E-cadherin-mediated cell adhesion in tongue epithelium. This study aimed to explore the potential impacts of hyperglycemia on the epithelial E-cadherin expression in the tongue's epithelial tissue in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.Material and methods: Twelve male Wistar albino rats were randomly allocated into control and STZ-induced diabetic groups. At the 5-week post-STZ injection, rats were euthanized, and the tongues were harvested and preserved in formalin. Epithelial thickness was assessed using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, while immunohistochemistry (IHC) was employed to analyze the expression of E-cadherin. Statistical analysis was performed using unpaired t-tests and two-proportion Z-tests, with a significance level determined at p < 0.05.Results: The results showed a significant reduction in epithelial thickness in the dorsal tongue of STZ-diabetic rats compared to the control group (p = 0.0173). Additionally, E-cadherin expression in the dorsal tongue epithelium was markedly weaker in the diabetic group than in the control (p < 0.0001).Conclusions: This exploratory study is the first to report that hyperglycemia reduces E-cadherin expression in the dorsal tongue epithelium, possibly contributing to oral epithelial alterations observed in diabetes. These findings not only highlight the potential diagnostic value of E-cadherin as a biomarker for oral complications in diabetic patients but also provide a foundation for future translational and clinical studies exploring therapeutic interventions targeting epithelial integrity in diabetes.","PeriodicalId":7313,"journal":{"name":"Acta Odontologica Scandinavica","volume":"84 ","pages":"226-231"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12153203/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143952805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the low number of infected patients during the survey period may have been a contributing factor, and a sharp increase in the number of infected patients was subsequently observed. We re-examined the spread of infections in dental care settings and compared the results with those of previous reports.Materials and methods: An online questionnaire-based survey was administered in March 2023 to examine the situation from February 2022 to March 2023, when the 6th-8th surge of COVID-19 infection was observed in Japan. The survey was conducted via an online platform (Google Forms; San Mateo, California, USA). The call for participation was publicized to members of the Nagano Dental Association. The survey consisted of questions on clinical activities, infection control measures, and confirmed or probable COVID-19 cases among patients and clinical staff.Results: The number of COVID-19-positive patients increased approximately 50-fold between the study periods. There was a 3.5-fold increase in the rate of dental treatment for infected patients.Conclusion: Even with the increased likelihood of contact with COVID-19 patients, no cases of infection during dental treatment were observed. The results of this study indicate that even with the possibility of contact with COVID-19 during dental treatment, the likelihood of COVID-19 clusters occurring in dental practices is low if appropriate infection prevention measures are in place.","PeriodicalId":7313,"journal":{"name":"Acta Odontologica Scandinavica","volume":"84 ","pages":"212-217"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12095942/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143961971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two groups were assessed: 65 with high subjective orthodontic treatment need and 65 in a control group. Patients with malocclusions graded with Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need-Dental Health Component (IOTN-DHC) index 1, 2, or 3 were included. Three questionnaires were used: Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and a general appearance perception survey.Results: The high subjective need group showed significantly higher OHIP-14 scores, reflecting poorer OHRQoL, compared to the control group. When age was considered, only the orofacial appearance subscale remained significant. No clinical signs of depression or anxiety were found among participants.

AMC's frequency, length, and diameter, including dental, superior, inferior, forward-open, forward-closed, and retromolar types, were determined. Additionally, the dimensions of the MC, including its length and diameter, were measured, and the relationship between the AMC and MC was statistically analyzed. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, independent samples t-test (for normally distributed data), Kruskal-Wallis test (for non-normally distributed data), and Tamhane post hoc test were used for statistical analysis of the data.Results: AMC was identified in 82 of the 222 hemimandibles examined (36.9%). It was found that the length and diameter of AMCs varied significantly depending on the AMC type (p = 0.000). The diameter of the dental type AMCs (mean 0.40 ± 0.22 mm) was considerably smaller than that of other AMC types (mean 0.86 ± 0.37 mm). The length and diameter of the MC were measured as 69.20 ± 5.10 mm and 2.96 ± 0.57 mm, respectively. While MC length was not found to influence the presence of AMC (p = 0.785), MC diameter was significantly associated with the occurrence of AMC (p = 0.000).Conclusions: AMC, which is critical for improving surgical planning and reducing the risk of complications in dental procedures, is not uncommon.
