As femtosecond lasers find new medical uses, Lithuanian manufacturer bets on scale to meet demand

A recent study, published in a peer-reviewed medical journal, found femtosecond laser imaging assesses lung tumor margins six times faster than the current standard, allowing surgeons to make life-saving decisions on how much tissue to remove while the patient is still in surgery.

Specific gene variants influence dental symptoms in rare bone condition

In hypophosphatasia, a rare inherited condition that weakens bones and teeth, early tooth loss can be the first, or even the only obvious sign.

Large US trial supports silver diamine fluoride for severe early childhood caries

A phase 3 randomized trial of 830 young children with severe early childhood caries found that 38% silver diamine fluoride arrested 54.0% of eligible cavitated dentin lesions at six months, compared with 22.5% after placebo. The noninvasive treatment showed clinically meaningful efficacy, but about half of the lesions remained active, supporting close monitoring and additional preventive care.

Hydrogel-based treatment achieves innervation and pulp-dentin regeneration

The dental pulp is susceptible to microbial infection, which often results in inflammation, necrosis, and defects in the pulp-dentin complex. Traditional treatment strategies suffer from multiple limitations and do not promote neural regeneration.

Discovering the role of lingual and buccal cells in tooth development

A novel study on the natural coordination of tooth development in time and space, led by Dr. Han-Sung Jung at the Yonsei University College of Dentistry, Korea, has discovered that "lingual" cells on the side of the tongue form the tooth, whereas those toward the cheek, called "buccal cells," form the bones and gums, guided by signaling molecules like WNT and BMP.

Digging into the past: What ancient proteins say about real medieval meals

Researchers used stable isotope and proteomic analyses on medieval European skeletons to uncover the details of ancient diets. The findings revealed a heavy reliance on C3 plants, terrestrial animal proteins, legumes, and freshwater fish, demonstrating the power of combining methods for paleodietary reconstruction.

Study uncovers how teeth hold key clues to childhood craniofacial disorders

Teeth may seem like static fixtures, but a new collaboration between engineers and clinicians is proving just how dynamic, informative and medically significant our teeth can be.

Evidence reveals the prevalence of childhood vitamin D deficiency in industrialized England

Evidence from teeth reveals that vitamin D deficiency during childhood was likely a major issue in industrialized England, according to a study published January 31, 2024 in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Anne Marie Snoddy of the University of Otago, New Zealand and colleagues.

ADA Forsyth scientists test novel technology to treat endodontic diseases more effectively

Want to avoid a root canal? In the future, you might be able to opt for tissue regeneration instead. ADA Forsyth scientists are testing a novel technology to treat endodontic diseases (diseases of the soft tissue or pulp in your teeth) more effectively.
