Article Abstract
Background: In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between a patient's selection of implant treatment for a missing mandibular second molar and the magnitude of occlusal force, masticatory ability, mandibular morphology, and age before treatment intervention.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively assessed occlusal force, masticatory performance, and mandibular morphology in female patients who either selected or declined implant treatment for a missing unilateral mandibular second molar.
Results: Thirty-three women (mean age of 56.1 ± 9.7 years) were divided into an implant treatment (IT) group and a no-treatment (NT) group. The IT group showed significantly higher occlusal force ( = 0.021 < 0.05), while masticatory performance and gonial angle demonstrated no significant difference.
Conclusion: The IT group had significantly higher occlusal force, and age had no significant effect on it. Notably, masticatory performance in the IT group increased significantly with age ( = 0.047 < 0.05).

This study characterizes all medically diagnosed bites and stings in active component service members (ACSMs) from snakes, venomous fish, other venomous marine animals, arthropods, and insects identified through an evaluation of medical data from the Defense Medical Surveillance System (DMSS). Incident trends were determined from 2008 through 2023, and incidence rates (IRs) and incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were calculated. In total, there were 42,552 venomous bite and sting medical encounters among 39,201 ACSMs, resulting in an IR of 19.

Hyperdivergent skeletal Class II malocclusion is largely genetically determined and poses significant challenges in orthodontic treatment, particularly due to compromised facial aesthetics, reduced bite force and airway narrowing. Traditionally, orthognathic surgery has been the standard treatment for correcting such skeletal discrepancies. However, the advent of temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs) has expanded the possibilities for orthodontic camouflage by allowing effective vertical control.

Background: Bite forces required to masticate different food consistencies remain unknown, complicating dietary guidelines following mandibular reconstruction. This study quantifies the forces required for solid foods and estimates safe bite limits postreconstruction.
Methods: Twenty food items were prepared according to IDDSI Levels 5 through 7b.
Biomechanical Behaviour of Simulated External Cervical Resorption Lesions With Varying 3D Extent Before and After Restoration: Finite Element Analysis Study.

This study investigated the biomechanical behaviour of simulated external cervical resorption (ECR) lesions of varying 3D extent, before and after restoration, using finite element analysis (FEA). Seven maxillary incisors were modelled, representing Patel's classification stages: Group 1-2Bp, 2-2Cp, 3-2Cd, 4-3 Bd, 5-3Cd, 6-3Bp and 7-Control. ECR lesions were restored using Biodentine, with endodontic treatment when the pulp was involved.
