Due to its marked efficacy in the prevention of bone loss in susceptible populations, alendronate (generic name of BIS) had been proposed as a useful agent to prevent alveolar bone loss. [22] One ...

Researchers have found in a new study that the modified socket shield technique without immediate implant placement may help protect against post-extraction bone remodeling, especially in ...

Men with HIV may experience greater alveolar bone loss than those without HIV, potentially due to higher levels of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin 6 (IL-6). This research was recently ...

While treatment with ABL alone can enhance focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activation, leading to increased periosteal cell proliferation, migration, and collagen synthesis, ABL combined with mechanical ...

A 29-year-old healthy man experienced a rare case of losing six teeth followed by upper jaw osteonecrosis due to an infection with shingles, a rash caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. The ...

According to a new study, combining exercise with omega-3 supplements reduced inflammation and, thereby, the severity of a chronic tooth root infection. It suggests a relatively simple means of ...

Alveolar bone, the specialized tissue within the jawbone, plays an important role in periodontal health. This tissue has a remarkable capacity of bone remodeling in response to mechanical stimuli like ...

The distance between the nose and chin (VDO) decreases with tooth wear, causing a compressed, aged facial appearance. When teeth are lost, the jawbone eventually recedes; dental implants can help ...
