Explanation for different behavior of peripheral and central giant cell granuloma by CD44 and CD34 immunostaining
ConclusionDifferent CD44 expression among the studied groups may be indicative of the different motility of osteoclastic giant cells which may influence bone resorption. Lower CD44 expression probably indicates higher osteoclastic giant cell motility in CGCG, which with its higher angiogenesis may explain the different clinical behavior of CGCG compared with that of PGCG.

Immunohistochemical expression of tumor necrosis factor ‐like weak inducer of apoptosis and fibroblast growth factor‐inducible immediate early response protein 14 in oral squamous cell carcinoma and its implications
ConclusionFindings suggest that TWEAK and Fn14 may participate in the growth and progression of OSCC. Increased expression of TWEAK ‐Fn14 at the ITF may facilitate increased proliferation, altered differentiation and invasion. (Source: Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry)

Tamponade effect of resorbable biological barrier in quality of obturation in primary molar
ConclusionThe addition of AGS to Metapex causes a “tamponade effect”, which reduces the tendency of Metapex to extrude beyond the root apex. Root canal obturation using a modified filling paste like MAGS is effective in obtaining optimum obturation in primary teeth. (Source: Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry)

Literature review and micro ‐computed tomography analysis of natal teeth: A pilot study
ConclusionMicro ‐CT is an alternative and non‐invasive method to anatomically assess natal teeth. According to the pilot study, natal teeth exhibited lower TMD, decreased enamel and dentine thickness, and smaller pulpal space volume in comparison with mandibular primary incisor teeth. This pilot study creates a foundation to establish the collection and analysis of natal teeth on a larger scale over time using micro‐CT. (Source: Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry)

Highly cited dental articles and their authors: An evaluation of publication and citation characteristics
ConclusionsHighly cited articles were distributed among various dental specialties, and the most productive periods were the late 1990s and the early 2000s. The Y ‐index gave dimensional details of the prolific authors. The current analysis was based on data extracted from Web of Science. Results could be different if data were extracted from other databases, such as Google Scholar. (Source: Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry)

Shear bond strengths of calcium silicate ‐based sealer to dentin and calcium silicate‐impregnated gutta‐percha
ConclusionsThe CSS sealer had better adhesion to dentin than did epoxy resin ‐based sealer. However, the bond of the CSS sealer to impregnated gutta‐percha was not superior to the epoxy resin‐based sealer bonded to conventional gutta‐percha. (Source: Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry)
