Oral management strategies for radiotherapy of head and neck cancer
Publication date: December 2020Source: Japanese Dental Science Review, Volume 56, Issue 1Author(s): Yumiko Kawashita, Sakiko Soutome, Masahiro Umeda, Toshiyuki SaitoSummaryRadiotherapy, often with concomitant chemotherapy, has a significant role in the management of head and neck cancer, however, radiotherapy induces adverse events include oral mucositis, hyposalivation, loss of taste, dental caries, osteoradionecrosis, and trismus, all of which have an impact on patients’ quality of life. Therefore, it is necessary to implement oral management strategies prior to the initiation of radiotherapy in patients with head and ...

Masticatory muscle function affects the pathological conditions of dentofacial deformities
Publication date: December 2020Source: Japanese Dental Science Review, Volume 56, Issue 1Author(s): Tomohiro Yamada, Goro Sugiyama, Yoshihide MoriSummaryThe causes of dentofacial deformities include various known syndromes, genetics, environmental and neuromuscular factors, trauma, and tumors. Above all, the functional effects of muscles are important, and deformation of the mandible is often associated with a mechanical imbalance of the masticatory muscles.With the vertical position of the face, weakness of the sling of the masseter muscle and medial pterygoid muscle causes dilatation of the mandibular angle. In patients ...

A glance on the role of fibronectin in controlling cell response at biomaterial interface
Publication date: December 2020Source: Japanese Dental Science Review, Volume 56, Issue 1Author(s): Ludovica Parisi, Andrea Toffoli, Benedetta Ghezzi, Beatrice Mozzoni, Simone Lumetti, Guido M. MacalusoSummaryThe bioactivity of biomaterials is closely related to cell response in contact with them. However, shortly after their insertion, materials are soon covered with proteins that constitute the biological fluids, and which render the direct surface recognition by cells almost impossible. The control of protein adsorption at the interface is therefore desirable. Extracellular matrix proteins are of particular interest in ...

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor is related to stress and chewing in saliva and salivary glands
Publication date: December 2020Source: Japanese Dental Science Review, Volume 56, Issue 1Author(s): Juri Saruta, Masahiro To, Wakako Sakaguchi, Yusuke Kondo, Keiichi TsukinokiSummaryChewing is one of the most important orofacial functions. During this process, food is reduced in size, while saliva moistens the food and binds it into a bolus that can be easily swallowed. Characteristics of the oral system, including the number of teeth, bite force, and salivary flow, influence the masticatory process. In addition, salivary glands produce several cell growth factors and play an important role in human health. The nerve growt...

R2TP/PAQosome as a promising chemotherapeutic target in cancer
Publication date: December 2020Source: Japanese Dental Science Review, Volume 56, Issue 1Author(s): Yoshito Kakihara, Tetsuo Kiguchi, Atsushi Ohazama, Makio SaekiAbstractR2TP/PAQosome (particle for arrangement of quaternary structure) is a novel multisubunit chaperone specialized in the assembly/maturation of protein complexes that are involved in essential cellular processes such as PIKKs (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-like kinases) signaling, snoRNP (small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein) biogenesis, and RNAP II (RNA polymerase II) complex formation. In this review article, we describe the current understanding of R2TP/PAQos...

Review of systematic reviews on mandibular advancement oral appliance for obstructive sleep apnea: The importance of long-term follow-up
Publication date: December 2020Source: Japanese Dental Science Review, Volume 56, Issue 1Author(s): Kazumichi Sato, Tsuneya NakajimaSummaryThe purpose of this review was to present the currently available information on oral appliance (OA) therapy for dentists, especially clinic-based dentists, to aid them in performing this treatment for the management of symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The clinical research evidence comprised of systematic reviews concerned with the mandibular advancement oral appliance (OAm). Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is superior to OA therapy in improving OSA symptoms. It is...

The microtensile bond strength test: Its historical background and application to bond testing
Publication date: December 2020Source: Japanese Dental Science Review, Volume 56, Issue 1Author(s): Hidehiko Sano, Abu Faem Mohammad Almas Chowdhury, Pipop Saikaew, Mariko Matsumoto, Shuhei Hoshika, Monica YamautiSummaryMicrotensile bond strength (μTBS) test was introduced in 1994. Since then, it has been utilized profoundly across many bond strength testing laboratories, making it currently one of the most standard and versatile bond strength test. Although it is a static and strength-based method, together with the morphological and spectroscopic investigations, it has been contributing immensely in the advancement of d...

Strength and aging resistance of monolithic zirconia: an update to current knowledge
Publication date: December 2020Source: Japanese Dental Science Review, Volume 56, Issue 1Author(s): Eleana Kontonasaki, Panagiotis Giasimakopoulos, Athanasios E. RigosAbstractNew zirconia compositions with optimized esthetic properties have emerged due to the fast-growing technology in zirconia manufacturing. However, the large variety of commercial products and synthesis routes, make impossible to include all of them under the general term of “monolithic zirconia ceramics”. Ultra- or high translucent monolithic formulations contain 3–8 mol% yttria, which results in materials with completely different structure,...
