Objective
This study assessed the impact of an anti-sclerostin monoclonal antibody (Scl-Ab)-based osteoporosis drug on the post-extraction alveolar repair of ovariectomized rats.
Design
Fifteen female rats were randomly distributed into three groups: CTR (healthy animals), OST (osteoporosis induced by ovariectomy), and OST+Scl-Ab (osteoporosis induction followed by Scl-Ab treatment). Ovariectomy or sham surgery was performed 30 days before baseline, and Scl-Ab or a vehicle was administered accordingly in the groups. After seven days, all rats underwent the first lower molar extraction and were euthanized 15 days later. Computed microtomography, histological analysis, and collagen content measurement were performed on post-extraction sockets and intact mandibular and maxillary bone areas.
Results
Microtomographic analyses of the sockets and mandibles did not reveal significant differences between groups on bone morphometric parameters (p > 0.05), while maxillary bone analyses resulted in better maintenance of bone architecture in OST+Scl-Ab, compared to OST (p < 0.05). Descriptive histological analysis and polarization microscopy indicated better post-extraction socket repair characteristics and collagen content in OST+Scl-Ab compared to OST (p < 0.05).
Conclusions
Scl-Ab-based medication did not accelerate alveolar bone formation but exhibited better post-extraction repair characteristics, and collagen content compared to ovariectomized animals only.

Objective
Dental agenesis data in modern and premodern sub-Saharan Africans are presented by region, West, Central, East, and South, and by sex. Beyond characterizing the anomaly, comparisons are made with other populations and future work is encouraged. The findings should be of use to dental clinicians and anthropologists.
Methods
Agenesis of the UI2, LI1, UP2, LP2, UM3, and LM3 was recorded in 52 discrete samples of mainly skeletal dentitions (n = 2162) from across the subcontinent. After dividing into temporal categories, regional pooling was effected for adequate sample sizes across the vast geographic area. Only adults were included to record M3 status. Analyses included 95% confidence intervals and chi-square comparisons by region and sex.
Results
Of 1668 modern individuals 2.3% have UI2-LP2 agenesis (CI 1.6–3.1%). Regional and sex differences are non-significant, though females are most affected. For M3s it is 7.0% (5.7–8.4%), with the Central region sample differing significantly from the East and South. Females again have greater prevalence, with the difference in the West significant. UI2-LP2 agenesis affects 0.6% of 494 premodern individuals (0.1–1.8%), while M3 agenesis is 8.5% (6.1–11.5%). None of these differences are significant.
Conclusions
Rates are toward the low end of global ranges, including 0.0–12.6% for UI2-LP2 from case reports, and 5.3–56.0% for M3 agenesis. With exceptions, generally insignificant inter-region differences imply that rates reasonably represent sub-Saharan peoples overall. Results will be of interest to anthropologists, but those related to risk factors, patterning, and prevalence may assist clinicians in tailoring treatment, while informing patients how this anomaly differs by population ancestry.

The periodontal ligament is a crucial part of the periodontium, and its regeneration is challenging. This study compares the effect of simultaneous and sequential use of FGF-2 and TGF-1 with FGF-2 and TGF-3 on the periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) teno/ligamentogenic differentiation.
Design
This study comprises ten different groups. A control group with only PDLSCs; FGF-2 group containing PDLSCs with a medium culture supplemented with FGF-2 (50 ng/mL). In other experimental groups, different concentrations (5 ng/mL or 10 ng/mL) of TGF-1&-3 simultaneously or sequentially were combined with FGF-2 on the cultured PDLSCs. TGF- was added to the medium after day 3 in the sequential groups. Methyl Thiazolyl Tetrazolium (MTT) assay on days 3, 5, and 7 and Quantitative Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis after day 7 were conducted to investigate PLAP1, SCX, and COL3A1, RUNX2 genes. All experiments were conducted in a triplicate. The One-way and Two-way ANOVA with Tukey post hoc were utilized to analyze the results of the MTT and RT-qPCR tests, respectively. A p-value less than 0.05 is considered significant.
Results
The proliferation of cells on days 3, 5, and 7 was not significantly different among different experimental groups (P > 0.05). A higher expression of the PLAP1, SCX, and COL3A1 have been seen in groups with sequential use of growth factors; among these groups, the group using 5 ng/mL of TGF- led other groups with the most amount of significant upregulation in PLAP1(17.69 ± 1.11 fold; P < 0.0001), SCX (5.71 ± 0.38 fold; P < 0.0001), and COL1A3 (6.35 ± 0.39 fold; P < 0.0001) expression, compared to the control group. The expression of the RUNX2 decreased in all groups compared to the control group; this reduction was more in groups with sequential use of growth factors.
Conclusion
The sequential use of growth factors can be more effective than simultaneous use in teno/ligamentogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. Moreover, treatment with 5 ng/mL TGF-β3 after FGF-2 was more effective than TGF-1.

Objective
The objectives of this study were to isolate, characterize progenitor cells from blood in the root canals of necrotic immature permanent teeth evoked from periapical tissues and evaluate the applicable potential of these isolated cells in Regenerative Endodontics.
Design
Ten necrotic immature permanent teeth from seven patients were included. Evoked bleeding from periapical tissues was induced after chemical instrumentation of the root canals. Cells were isolated from the canal blood and evaluated for cell surface marker expression, multilineage differentiation potential, proliferation ability, and target protein expression. Cell sheets formed from these cells were transferred into human root segments, and then transplanted into nude mice. Histological examination was performed after eight weeks. Data analysis was conducted using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-hoc comparison, considering p < 0.05 as statistically significant.
Results
The isolated cells exhibited characteristics typical of fibroblastic cells with colony-forming efficiency, and displayed Ki67 positivity and robust proliferation. Flow cytometry data demonstrated that at passage 3, these cells were positive for CD73, CD90, CD105, CD146, and negative for CD34 and CD45. Vimentin expression indicated a mesenchymal origin. Under differentiation media specific differentiation media, the cells demonstrated osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic differentiation potential. Subcutaneous root canals with cell sheets of isolated cells in nude mice showed the formation of pulp-like tissues.
Conclusions
This study confirmed the presence of progenitor cells in root canals following evoked bleeding from periapical tissues of necrotic immature teeth. Isolated cells exhibited similar immunophenotype and regenerative potential with dental mesenchymal stromal cells in regenerative endodontic therapy.

Objective
This meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between ERCC1 and XPC polymorphisms and the risk of head and neck cancer (HNC), incorporating more studies and additional analyses.
Design
An exhaustive search of various databases, including PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library was carried out, up until November 18, 2023, to identify pertinent studies. The Review Manager 5.3 software was employed to calculate the effect sizes, which were presented as the odds ratio (OR) along with a 95% confidence interval (CI).
Results
The study found that the T allele (OR = 1.11; p-value = 0.02; 95%CI: 1.02, 1.22) and the TT genotype rs2228000 polymorphism in both the homozygous model (OR = 1.61, p-value = 0.02; 95%CI: 1.07, 2.42) and the recessive model (OR = 1.53; p-value = 0.02; 95%CI: 1.06, 2.22) had statistically significant associations. However, no significant associations were found for rs11615, rs3212986, rs735482, rs2228001, and PAT polymorphisms in any genetic models.
Conclusions
The meta-analysis revealed significant associations for the T allele and TT genotype rs2228000 polymorphism, but not for rs11615, rs3212986, rs735482, rs2228001, and PAT polymorphisms. The results highlight the impact of factors such as ethnicity, cancer subtype, and control source on these associations, emphasizing the intricate nature of genetic interactions in disease risk.

Objective
This study aimed to carry out a systematic review of observational studies searching the association between salivary factors (amount and quality of saliva) and noncarious cervical lesions (NCCL) in individuals with permanent dentition.
Design
Cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort studies performed in humans with permanent dentition (population) and considering noncarious cervical lesions (outcome) in association with salivary characteristics (exposure) were included. PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, LILACS/BBO, Scopus, Embase, IBCT, NICE, OpenGrey, and Google Scholar were searched, with no language or date restrictions. Of 6561 potentially eligible studies, 142 were selected for full-text analysis. Three reviewers independently selected the studies, performed data extraction, and quality analysis through the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale.
Results
Finally, ten references were included in the review, four case-control and six cross-sectional studies. Several salivary parameters were evaluated. Some parameters were considered associated with the presence of noncarious cervical lesions: salivary buffering capacity, salivary pH, citric acid, and calcium and potassium levels. The methodological quality varied across studies, with high heterogeneity among them.
Conclusions
Some associations between saliva and NCCL suggesting protective factors and others risk factors were found. However, the evidence is sparse and comes from a few studies with great heterogeneity. New scientific evidence, with standardized methods, should be encouraged. Understanding salivary parameters that influence the occurrence of NCCL is important to guide dentists in relation to etiological factors that could potentially be neglected. The results may help in the development of new and early diagnostic methods and treatments for noncarious cervical lesions.

The results may help in the development of new and early diagnostic methods and treatments for noncarious cervical lesions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8288,"journal":{"name":"Archives of oral biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140067190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Pleomorphic adenoma (PA), mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC), and adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) are the most prevalent salivary gland tumors. Their pathogenesis has been recently associated with complex molecular cascades, including the TGFβ signaling pathway. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of genes associated with the TGFβ signaling pathway (TGFB1, ITGB6, SMAD2, SMAD4, FBN1, LTBP1, and c-MYC) to map possible downstream alterations in the TGFβ cascade.
Design
Thirteen PA, 17 MEC, 13 ACC, and 10 non-neoplastic salivary gland samples were analyzed by real-time RT-PCR.
Results
Cases of PA presented increased TGFB1, LTPB1, c-MYC, and FBN1 expressions, whereas SMAD2 expression was decreased when compared to non-neoplastic tissue. MEC patients displayed increased expressions of TGFB1, ITGB6, FBN1, and c-MYC and decreased expressions of SMAD2 and SMAD4. ACC cases exhibited elevated expressions of the investigated genes except TGFB1. The present results suggest that decreased expression of SMAD2 and SMAD4 does not impede the transcriptional regulation of c-MYC, especially in PA and MEC. Increased expressions of ITGB6, TGFB1, LTBP1, and FBN1 appear to be related to the regulation of the TGFβ signaling pathway in these tumors. Additionally, we observed a higher expression of SMAD4 in ACC and a raised expression of ITGB6 and lowered expression of SMAD2 in MEC.
Conclusions
Our study demonstrated the differential expression of TGFβ cascade members in salivary gland tumors such as SMAD2/SMAD4 and c-MYC as well as the participation of ITGB6, TGFB1, LTBP1, and FBN1, contributing to the understanding of the mechanisms involved in tumor progression.

Oral submucous fibrosis is a frequently reported potentially malignant disorder characterized by fibrosis and a malignant transformation rate of 7–30%. The role of hypoxia-inducible factor-1/2α in malignant transformation mechanisms of oral submucous fibrosis remains uncharted territory owing to a scarcity of studies. Thus the present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the role of hypoxia-inducible factor-1/2α in the progression of fibrosis of oral submucous fibrosis and its malignant transformation.
Material and methods
Using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library databases, full-text articles that investigated hypoxia-inducible factor-1/2α in oral submucous fibrosis were entailed for review. A modified Newcastle-Ottawa scale was employed to evaluate risk of bias in all articles and Review Manager was utilized for meta-analysis.
Results
Eighteen and eight qualified articles respectively were included for qualitative and quantitative data synthesis. Progressive upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1/2α in oral submucous fibrosis is associated with fibrosis-induced carcinogenesis. A Random-effects model uncloaked that oral submucous fibrosis cases with significantly increased expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α had an increased associated risk of malignant transformation compared with controls (combined odds ratio 523.83, 95% confidence interval 125.74- 2182.28, p < 0.00001).
Conclusion
The existing evidence substantiates the notion that hypoxia-inducible factor-1/2α, a fundamental pathogenetic mechanism of progression and malignant transformation of oral submucous fibrosis in the background of fibrosis.

Objectives
The aim of this scoping review was to evaluate the available scientific evidence regarding the use of flavonoids in the treatment of caries-affected dentin focusing on bonding to dentin.
Methods
A comprehensive literature search was performed in five databases from March 2022 and updated in April 2023: PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Scielo. Additionally, the references of included studies were manually searched. Gray literature was excluded from the review.Study selection: Inclusion criteria included in vitro, in situ, and in vivo studies (animal or human) published in English. Abstracts, reviews, case reports, book chapters, doctoral dissertations, guidelines, and studies using pure plant extracts were excluded. Data collected from the selected studies were summarized and subjected to narrative and descriptive analysis. Out of the 91 studies identified, only 16 studies met the inclusion criteria.
Results
The review analyzed eight different flavonoids (hesperidin, galardin, proanthocyanidin, genipin, quercetin, naringin, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, and other catechins subtypes) used as pretreatment or loaded into adhesive systems, primers, and phosphoric acid. The use of flavonoids improved the mechanical properties of the materials and modified the biological properties of the dentin, reducing collagen loss by the inhibition of proteolytic activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs).
Conclusions
Based on the findings of this scoping review, it can be concluded that the use of flavonoids as pretreatment or incorporation into dental materials preserves collagen in the hybrid layer, inhibiting the MMPs activities, modifying the collagen fibrils of the dentin matrix and improving the mechanical properties of the dental adhesive systems. Therefore, it represents a promising approach for promoting dentin biomodification. This can result in more stable bonding of adhesive restorations to caries-affected dentin.
