Objective: To study the effects and the therapeutic mechanism of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) in alveolar bone and gingiva of experimental periodontitis in animal.
Methods: Experimental periodontitis was produced by silk thread sutures combined with high content sugar diet. For HBO therapy, they were exposed to a pressure of 0.25 MPa (2.5ATA), breathing pure oxygen one session a day for 60 min. The treatment course was 2 weeks. The value of PGE(2) in gingiva and alveolar bone was analyzed by enzyme immunoassay (EIA).
Results: The value of PGE(2) in gingiva of control group was 3.21 ng/g, and that of PGE(2) in alveolar bone was 3.22 ng/g. The contents of PGE(2) in gingiva (13.96 ng/g) and alveolar bone (13.32 ng/g) of periodontitis group increased markedly than control group (P < 0.01). The contents of PGE(2) in gingiva (5.21 ng/g) of HBO group were 62.7% which was lower than that of periodontitis group, and the value of PGE(2) in alveolar bone (4.05 ng/g) were 69.6% lower than that of periodontitis group. The difference of PGE(2) in gingiva or alveolar bone was significant for the HBO group and periodontitis group (P < 0.01).
Conclusions: The contents of PGE(2) in alveolar bone and gingiva increased markedly when experimental periodontitis has formed. The value of PGE(2) in alveolar bone and gingiva reduce markedly after HBO exposure, and the decreased rate of PGE(2) in alveolar bone is more evident than that of PGE(2) in gingiva after HBO therapy.

Purpose: This systematic review provides a critical evaluation, synthesis of the existing literature on isotretinoin's effects on craniomaxillofacial bone.
Methods: Following the PRISMA guidelines and registered in PROSPERO, the review was conducted in August 2024 across various databases. Eligible in vivo studies were analysed for their assessment of isotretinoin's effects on craniomaxillofacial bone.

The onset and progression of periodontitis are closely related to metabolic reprogramming in the periodontal microenvironment, with osteoclasts playing a critical role in tissue destruction. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of periodontal tissues from healthy individuals and patients with severe chronic periodontitis revealed a significant increase in the expression of mitochondrial-related genes during osteoclast differentiation, suggesting the critical role of mitochondrial function in this process. This study investigates the potential of the novel mitoribosome-targeting antibiotic radezolid in inhibiting osteoclast differentiation.

Objective(s): In this pilot study, exosomes from saliva were isolated and tested for the presence of metabolomic biomarkers for physiological external root resorption and/or pathological alveolar bone resorption.
Settings And Sample Population: Saliva samples of 20 individuals in the mixed dentition stage of dental development.
Materials And Methods: Saliva was obtained from healthy control children with resorbing primary teeth or children with localised aggressive periodontitis (LAP) showing alveolar bone loss but little root resorption.

Background And Aim: The incisive (nasopalatine) canal is an important anatomical structure of the anterior maxilla. It holds significance for surgeries and implant placement in the central incisor region. The size, shape, and relation with surrounding bones may vary by age, gender, and ethnicity.

Abstract Rationale: Nonossifying fibroma (NOF) is one of the benign bone tumors in adolescents, and it rarely occurs in the jawbone. According to the site of onset, it is divided into the cortical type and the medullary type. Currently, there is no case report of medullary NOF in the mandible of the elderly.
