Identification of Smad-dependent and -independent signaling with transforming growth factor-β type 1/2 receptor inhibition in palatogenesis
The objective of this study was to investigate palatal fusion via TGF-β signaling when TβR1 and TβR2, but not TβR3, were inhibited. In addition, the present study examined the functional balance between Smad-dependent/-independent signaling and related gene expression. Palatal organ cultures were treated with TβR1/2 inhibitor in vitro. Control palates were cultured without inhibitor. We observed histological phenotype of palatal fusion, and evaluation of expression pattern by Western blot or real time RT-PCR. Palatal organ cultures treated with the inhibitor did not fuse and the medial edge epithelium remained at embr...

Outcomes of luxation injuries to primary teeth-a systematic review
ConclusionFall is the most common cause and regular monitoring is recommended for most of the luxated teeth. Pulp canal obliteration, pulp necrosis and tooth loss due to trauma are prevalent complications observed following luxation. White or yellow brown discoloration of enamel and enamel hypoplasia are the most common undesirable sequelae to permanent teeth. (Source: Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research)

Effect of Jagged1 on the expression of genes in regulation of osteoblast differentiation and bone mineralization ontology in human dental pulp and periodontal ligament cells
ConclusionJagged1 promote the mRNA expression of several genes in osteoblast differentiation related gene ontology. This could be further employed to identify the mechanism by which Jagged1 promoted osteogenic differentiation in human dental pulp and periodontal ligament cells.

Morphometric analysis of nasopalatine foramen in Sri Lankan population using CBCT
The objective of this study was to identify the morphometeric characteristics of the NPC in group of Sri Lankan people using Cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) and to determine normal morphological course and anatomical variations. Fifty Maxillary CBCT images of anterior maxilla, obtained from the archives of the University Dental Hospital, Peradeniya were retrospectively analyzed to determine the position of the NPC. Morphology, canal dimension of NPC and its relation to the maxilla. Majority had a single opening (48%) or 2 openings (46%). Average diameter of the canal was 3.692 mm with a range of 2 to 6 mm. Majority of...

Assessment of Eustachian Tube Functioning following surgical intervention of Oral Submucus Fibrosis by using Tympanometry & Audiometry.
This study was conducted to validate the influence of OSMF and its surgical correction on middle ear function and hearing sensitivity. In this study, 20 patients (40 ears) suffering from biopsy proven OSMF (Group 2 & 3) were tested for Middle ear dysfunction and hearing sensitivity using Tympanometry & Audiometry. On Tympanometry, Type A curve was obtained in 29 ears, Type B curve in 11 ears preoperatively. Immediate postoperatively TYPE A curve was obtained in 27 ears, TYPE B curve in 13 ears. After 1 month and 3 month Type B curve was not obtained in any ear. On Audiometry,28 ears showed normal hearing and 12 ears showed...

Osseodensification –– A systematic review and qualitative analysis of published literature
Publication date: January–March 2020Source: Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research, Volume 10, Issue 1Author(s): Ninad Milind Padhye, Ashvini Mukul Padhye, Neel B. BhatavadekarAbstractThe recently introduced technique of osseodensification for dental implant involves the use of special drills (Densah) run in a counter-clockwise direction at the osteotomy site. It is claimed that this causes expansion of the osteotomy site, and increases density of the bone in immediate vicinity of the osteotomy. We reviewed published papers on the primary stability attained using this drilling technique. As a secondary finding...
