Article Abstract

The H3K27 methyltransferase CLF inhibits lateral root (LR) formation through depositing the repressive H3K27me3 mark to the chromatin of PIN1, a key polar auxin transporter gene. Here, we show that the H3K27me3 demethylase REF6 promotes lateral root primordium initiation and LR emergence. REF6 directly binds to the chromatin of PIN1/3/7. Dysfunction in REF6 results in increased levels of H3K27me3 on PIN1/3/7 and suppressed expression of PIN genes. Genetic analysis of the clf ref6 double mutant revealed an antagonistic action between CLF and REF6, in terms of LR formation. Our findings indicate that H3K27 methylation and demethylation activities are likely coordinated to ensure proper LR organogenesis.

Objectives: This retrospective study evaluates alveolar bone remodeling patterns and their association with incisor displacement in adults undergoing clear aligner therapy with premolar extractions for Class II malocclusion correction.

Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 38 maxillary and 37 mandibular incisors were analyzed. Displacement vectors for four anatomical landmarks (cusp tip [C], root apex [R], root neck midpoint [M], labial cementoenamel junction [L]) were quantified.

Severe periapical cysts frequently result in tooth loss with concomitant severe alveolar bone destruction, precluding immediate implant placement. Autogenous tooth transplantation (ATT), which involves transplanting the patient's own tooth to the recipient site, offers a biological approach to reconstruct both the dentition and supporting bone structures. This report presents a 25-year-old female with a mobile, discolored maxillary right lateral incisor (#12) exhibiting grade 3 mobility due to a large periapical cyst (extending to #14 on CBCT) with root developmental arrest, secondary to Oehlers type II dens invaginatus.

N, as plants' most essential nutrient, profoundly shapes root system architecture (RSA), with LRs being preferentially regulated. This review synthesizes the intricate molecular mechanisms underpinning N sensing, signaling, and its integration into developmental pathways governing LR initiation, primordium formation, emergence, and elongation. We delve deeply into the roles of specific transporters (NRT1.

Introduction And Aims: Calcified root canals in mandibular anterior teeth present significant therapeutic challenges due to their narrow anatomy and minimal tolerance for procedural errors. This case report demonstrates the successful integration of robot-assisted navigation with an ultra-fine bur to address these challenges.

Methods: A 44-year-old male presented with symptomatic chronic apical periodontitis and pulp calcification in a mandibular lateral incisor, 20 years after orthodontic treatment.

The use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in endodontic diagnostics and treatment is gaining importance due to its ability to provide three-dimensional imaging of tooth structures and their surroundings. CBCT allows a precise assessment of the anatomy of the endodontic space, which is crucial in planning and performing effective root canal treatment. Traditional two-dimensional imaging techniques often prove insufficient in diagnosing the complex morphology of dental canals, increasing the risk of leaving areas untreated and potential treatment failure.
