Growth of the mandible and biological characteristics of the mandibular condylar cartilage
Publication date: November 2013 Source:Japanese Dental Science Review, Volume 49, Issue 4 Author(s): Itaru Mizoguchi , Naoko Toriya , Yuya Nakao Mandibular condylar cartilage is the center of greatest growth in the craniofacial complex, and is associated with maxillofacial skeleton morphogenesis and temporomandibular joint function. The condylar process grows in a wide range of directions from anterosuperior to posterior, resulting in highly diverse mandibular growth and morphology. Condylar growth direction is closely related to mandibular displacement direction and vertical jaw deviations (i.e., high or low angle)...

Effectiveness of preemptive analgesia on postoperative pain following third molar surgery: Review of literatures
Publication date: November 2013 Source:Japanese Dental Science Review, Volume 49, Issue 4 Author(s): Akira Yamaguchi , Kimito Sano We investigated the efficacy of preemptive analgesia for mandibular third molar surgery by, reviewing of randomized controlled trials. In many of the studies, the preemptive use of NSAIDs before, tooth extraction demonstrated that the postoperative pain was better controlled beyond the expected, effect time, compared without such preemptive use. On the other hand, some studies reported that, compared to the administration before removal of the tooth, postoperative administration was, asso...

Possible functional scaffolds for periodontal regeneration
Publication date: November 2013 Source:Japanese Dental Science Review, Volume 49, Issue 4 Author(s): Hidetoshi Shimauchi , Eiji Nemoto , Hiroshi Ishihata , Masatsugu Shimomura Periodontal diseases are the most prevalent infectious diseases with the irreversible loss of tooth supporting apparatus. To reestablish the stable health of periodontal tissues after healing, the concept of regenerative surgical procedures has been developed over the past three decades, including various grafting materials, guided tissue regeneration (GTR), and the use of enamel matrix derivatives (EMD) in a clinical setting. More recently, ...

Oral health and general health at the early stage of ageing: A review of contemporary studies
Publication date: February 2014 Source:Japanese Dental Science Review, Volume 50, Issue 1 Author(s): Shingo Moriya , Hiroko Miura In 2012, persons over age 65 reached 24.1% of Japan's population, and this population will continue to grow. The relationship between oral health and general health has been examined in many studies, geriatric dentistry in particular. An increasing need for long-term care for older adults is expected with the ageing of Japan's population. This will result in escalating costs for these services; thus, we are now prompted to identify predictors for eligibility for long-term care funding. Rec...

Nutrition and oral status in elderly people
This study reviewed the relationship between oral status and nutritional disorders such as obesity and sarcopenia. A literature search was performed using PubMed to find articles published in and after 2000 by using the following search terms: elderly, nutrition, tooth, tooth loss, mastication, and oral function. Although the literature search revealed that further well-designed studies are difficult controlling all confounding factors thought to influence nutritional status, it may be concluded that tooth loss leads to decreased vegetable and fruit intake and results in nutritional disturbance. This was especially promine...

The pathophysiology of heterotopic ossification: Current treatment considerations in dentistry
Publication date: February 2014 Source:Japanese Dental Science Review, Volume 50, Issue 1 Author(s): Kengo Shimono , Kenta Uchibe , Takuo Kuboki , Masahiro Iwamoto Heterotopic ossification (HO) consists of the formation of ectopic cartilage followed by endochondral bone, and is triggered by major surgeries, large wounds, and other conditions. Daily functions of HO patients can be hampered by the loss of normal posture, pain, inflammation, reduced mobility, formation of pressure ulcers, deep venous thrombosis, and other complications. Research so far revealed the molecular and cellular pathways leading HO formation,...

New insights into the functions of enamel matrices in calcified tissues
Publication date: May 2014 Source:Japanese Dental Science Review, Volume 50, Issue 2 Author(s): Satoshi Fukumoto , Takashi Nakamura , Aya Yamada , Makiko Arakaki , Kan Saito , Juan Xu , Emiko Fukumoto , Yoshihiko Yamada Ameloblasts secrete enamel matrix proteins, including amelogenin, ameloblastin, enamelin, amelotin, and Apin/odontogenic ameloblast-associated protein (Apin/ODAM). Amelogenin is the major protein component of the enamel matrix. Amelogenin, ameloblastin, and enamelin are expressed during the secretory stage of ameloblast, while amelotin and Apin/ODAM are expressed during the maturation. Amelogeni...

Oral ulcerations due to drug medications
Publication date: May 2014 Source:Japanese Dental Science Review, Volume 50, Issue 2 Author(s): Yoshinori Jinbu , Toshio Demitsu Ulcers are common symptoms observed in the oral cavity and some ulcerations are induced by drug medications. When ulcers show typical clinical findings differential diagnosis may be easy, but the exact diagnosis is often difficult. We reviewed differential diagnosis of oral ulcerative diseases, clinical characteristics of drug-induced oral ulcerations and drugs inducing oral ulcerations. Many kinds of drugs have been reported to cause oral ulcerations. Among them, non-steroidal anti-inflamm...

Osteocyte function under compressive mechanical force
Publication date: May 2014 Source:Japanese Dental Science Review, Volume 50, Issue 2 Author(s): Teruko Takano-Yamamoto Mechanical stress is an essential factor for physiological response and maintaining homeostasis of living bodies. Bone changes its molphology and density in response to the physical circumstances such as mechanical stress. Bone tissue remodeling is regulated by the cells in bone: osteoblasts, osteoclasts and their progenitors. Recently, osteocytes terminally differentiated from osteoblasts have been considered to play significant role in bone remodeling and act as mechanosensitive cells. We have previ...

The current status of the design of resin-bonded fixed partial dentures, splints and overcastings
Publication date: May 2014 Source:Japanese Dental Science Review, Volume 50, Issue 2 Author(s): Hiroshi Shimizu , Tomohiro Kawaguchi , Yutaka Takahashi This review article describes the current status of resin-bonded fixed partial denture, splint and overcasting design. Several such designs have been introduced through the years, but there is no typical standard yet for the design of anterior resin-bonded prostheses. On the other hand, the design of posterior resin-bonded prostheses has generally been a standard D-shaped structure. To splint abutment teeth, including pathological mobile teeth, the application of res...

Progress of computer-aided detection/diagnosis (CAD) in dentistry<Runningtitle>CAD in dentistry</Runningtitle>
Publication date: August 2014 Source:Japanese Dental Science Review, Volume 50, Issue 3 Author(s): Akitoshi Katsumata , Hiroshi Fujita The development of computer-aided detection/diagnosis (CAD) systems for dental imaging is progressing. One expected use of CAD is to detect radiological signs of medical systemic disease in the panoramic screening radiograph. The target diseases for CAD include osteoporosis, arteriosclerosis, and maxillary sinusitis. CAD is also useful in the detection and evaluation of dental and maxillofacial lesions. Identifying alveolar bone resorption due to periodontitis and radiolucent jaw lesi...

Current evidence and biological plausibility linking periodontitis to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
Publication date: August 2014 Source:Japanese Dental Science Review, Volume 50, Issue 3 Author(s): Koichi Tabeta , Hiromasa Yoshie , Kazuhisa Yamazaki The relationship between poor oral health and systemic diseases has been increasingly recognized over the past two decades. Atherosclerosis is an important basal component of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD), which is the primary cause of death worldwide, including Japan. The accumulation of multiple individual epidemiological studies has paved the way for subsequent systematic reviews that have demonstrated that periodontitis can be considered as an emer...
