Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore the feasibility of current 3D reconstruction in assessing the position of maxillary impacted canines from 2D panoramic X-rays. A dataset was created using pre-treatment CBCT data from a total of 123 patients, comprising 74 patients with impacted canines and 49 patients without impacted canines. From all 74 subjects, we generated a dataset containing paired 2D panoramic X-rays and pseudo-3D images. This pseudo-3D image contained information about the location of the impacted canine in the buccal/lingual, mesial/distal, and apical/coronal positions. These data were utilized to train a deep-learning reconstruction algorithm, a generative AI. The location of the crown of the maxillary impacted canine was determined based on the output of the algorithm. The reconstruction was evaluated using the structure similarity index measure (SSIM) as a metric to indicate the quality of the reconstruction. The prediction of the impacted canine's location was assessed in both the mesiodistal and buccolingual directions. The reconstruction algorithm predicts the position of the impacted canine in the buccal, middle, or lingual position with 41% accuracy, while the mesial and distal positions are predicted with 55% accuracy. The mean SSIM for the output is 0.71, with a range of 0.63 to 0.84. Our study represents the first application of AI reconstruction output for multidisciplinary care involving orthodontists, periodontists, and maxillofacial surgeons in diagnosing and treating maxillary impacted canines. Further development of deep-learning algorithms is necessary to enhance the robustness of dental reconstruction applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES It was recently found that when cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to examine temporary anchorage device (TAD)-tooth root contact, it tends to yield high false-positive (FP) diagnoses. This study investigated whether application of a metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm or reducing CBCT scan voxel-size can remediate this problem. METHODS 18 fresh pig cadaver mandibles underwent TAD placement bilaterally at first molar lingual furcation regions. CBCT scans were taken under varied MAR (absence, presence) and voxel-size (400 µm, 200 µm) settings. Then, TADs were removed and a micro-CT scan (27 µm voxel-size) of the TAD placement site was performed. Three raters, blinded of CBCT scan setting, independently diagnosed whether TADs were in contact with roots. The reliability and accuracy of CBCT diagnoses using micro-CT as the gold-standard were statistically examined. RESULTS Generally, CBCT diagnoses had intrarater (Cohen's κ: 0.54-1) and interrater (Fleiss' κ: 0.73-0.81) reliability, within the moderate to excellent range, which did not vary with MAR setting or scan voxel-size. For diagnostic accuracy, FP rate among all raters was mostly in the 15-25% range and did not change with MAR or scan voxel-size settings (McNemar tests, p > 0.05) while false-negative rate was relatively minimal and only occurred to one rater (9%). CONCLUSIONS When using CBCT to diagnose possible TAD-root contact, applying a currently available Planmeca MAR algorithm or reducing CBCT scan voxel-size from 400 µm to 200 µm may not decrease FP rate. Further optimization of the MAR algorithm for this purpose may be needed.

Abstract
Introduction: Myosin IXB (MYO9B) is an unconventional myosin with RhoGAP activity and thus is a regulator of actin cytoskeletal organization. MYO9B was previously shown to be necessary for skeletal growth and health and to play a role in actin-based functions of both osteoblasts and osteoclasts. However, its role in responses to mechanical stimulation of bone cells has not yet been described. Therefore, experiments were undertaken to determine the role of MYO9B in bone cell responses to mechanical stress both in vitro and in vivo. Methods: MYO9B expression was knocked down in osteoblast and osteocyte cell lines using RNA interference and the resulting cells were subjected to mechanical stresses including cyclic tensile strain, fluid shear stress, and plating on different substrates (no substrate vs. monomeric or polymerized collagen type I). Osteocytic cells were also subjected to MYO9B regulation through Slit-Robo signaling. Further, wild-type or Myo9b -/- mice were subjected to a regimen of whole-body vibration (WBV) and changes in bone quality were assessed by micro-CT. Results: Unlike control cells, MYO9B-deficient osteoblastic cells subjected to uniaxial cyclic tensile strain were unable to orient their actin stress fibers perpendicular to the strain. Osteocytic cells in which MYO9B was knocked down exhibited elongated dendrites but were unable to respond normally to treatments that increase dendrite length such as fluid shear stress and Slit-Robo signaling. Osteocytic responses to mechanical stimuli were also found to be dependent on the polymerization state of collagen type I substrates. Wild-type mice responded to WBV with increased bone tissue mineral density values while Myo9b -/- mice responded with bone loss. Discussion: These results demonstrate that MYO9B plays a key role in mechanical stress-induced responses of bone cells in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Calcium transfer into the mitochondrial matrix during sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release is essential to boost energy production in ventricular cardiomyocytes (VCMs) and match increased metabolic demand. Mitochondria from female hearts exhibit lower mito-[Ca2+] and produce less reactive oxygen species (ROS) compared to males, without change in respiration capacity. We hypothesized that in female VCMs, more efficient electron transport chain (ETC) organization into supercomplexes offsets the deficit in mito-Ca2+ accumulation, thereby reducing ROS production and stress-induced intracellular Ca2+ mishandling. Experiments using mitochondria-targeted biosensors confirmed lower mito-ROS and mito-[Ca2+] in female rat VCMs challenged with β-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol compared to males. Biochemical studies revealed decreased mitochondria Ca2+ uniporter expression and increased supercomplex assembly in rat and human female ventricular tissues vs male. Importantly, western blot analysis showed higher expression levels of COX7RP, an estrogen-dependent supercomplex assembly factor in female heart tissues vs males. Furthermore, COX7RP was decreased in hearts from aged and ovariectomized female rats. COX7RP overexpression in male VCMs increased mitochondrial supercomplexes, reduced mito-ROS and spontaneous SR Ca2+ release in response to ISO. Conversely, shRNA-mediated knockdown of COX7RP in female VCMs reduced supercomplexes and increased mito-ROS, promoting intracellular Ca2+ mishandling. Compared to males, mitochondria in female VCMs exhibit higher ETC subunit incorporation into supercomplexes, supporting more efficient electron transport. Such organization coupled to lower levels of mito-[Ca2+] limits mito-ROS under stress conditions and lowers propensity to pro-arrhythmic spontaneous SR Ca2+ release. We conclude that sexual dimorphism in mito-Ca2+ handling and ETC organization may contribute to cardioprotection in healthy premenopausal females.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal tissues, such as bone, cartilage, and muscle, are natural composite materials that are constructed with a hierarchical structure ranging from the cell to tissue level. The component differences and structural complexity, together, require comprehensive multiscale mechanical characterization. In this review, we focus on nanoindentation testing, which is used for nanometer to sub-micrometer length scale mechanical characterization. In the following context, we will summarize studies of nanoindentation in musculoskeletal research, examine the critical factors that affect nanoindentation testing results, and briefly summarize other commonly used techniques that can be conjoined with nanoindentation for synchronized imaging and colocalized characterization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) printed models fabricated from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of human mandibular dry skulls in comparison with models derived from intraoral scanner (IOS) data. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six human mandibular dry skulls were scanned by IOS and CBCT. Digital models (DMs) constructed from the IOS and CBCT data were fabricated physically using a 3D printer. The width and thickness of individual teeth and intercanine and molar widths were measured using a digital caliper. The accuracy of the DMs was compared between IOS and CBCT. Paired t-tests were used for intergroup comparisons. RESULTS All intraclass correlation coefficient values for the three measurements (mesial-distal, buccal-lingual, width) exceeded 0.9. For the mandibular teeth, there were significant discrepancies in model accuracy between the IOS (average discrepancies of 0.18 ± 0.08 mm and 0.16 ± 0.12 mm for width and thickness, respectively) and CBCT (0.28 ± 0.07 mm for width, 0.37 ± 0.2 mm for thickness; P < .01). Intercanine (P = .38) and molar widths (P = .41) showed no significant difference between groups. CONCLUSIONS There was a statistically significant difference in the accuracy of DMs obtained from CBCT and IOS; however, this did not seem to result in any important clinical difference. CBCT could be routinely used as an orthodontic diagnostic tool and for appliance construction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to examine whether bone mineral density (BMD) distribution in the mandibular condyle and facial morphology are associated with temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ OA) using clinical cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. METHODS CBCT images of 35 adults (16 male and 19 female) were examined to obtain TMJ OA counts, cephalometric analyses, and histograms of gray values that are proportional to BMD. Mean, standard deviation (SD), and low and high gray values at the 5th and 95th percentiles (Low5 and High5) of the histograms were measured. RESULTS The female group had significantly higher values of TMJ OA counts, mean, and SD on the right mandibular condyle, High5 on both sides, and all gray value parameters for total (right + left) than the male group. CONCLUSION Comprehensive analysis of BMD distribution in the mandibular condyle can provide useful information for prognosis of TMJ OA.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of training residents in an orthodontic program in the placement of miniscrews by using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. A total of 90 miniscrews were placed in 15 pig mandibles over a 3-year period by 15 first-year orthodontic residents. Miniscrews were divided into three groups (Control group: no radiographs; 2D group: placement with 2D radiographs; CBCT group: placement with CBCT). Proximity of the miniscrew to the neighboring root was measured. The miniscrew success rate was examined in the graduate clinic from 2015 to 2021. Results The percentage of root contact for each group was: 36.7% (11/30), 20.0% (6/30), 0% (0/30), for the Control, 2D, and CBCT groups, respectively. The CBCT group was significantly different from the Control and 2D groups (p < 0.05). For root proximity, the miniscrews were significantly closer to the roots in the Control (p < 0.001) and 2D (p < 0.001) groups compared with the CBCT group. No significant difference was observed between the Control and 2D groups (p = 0.80). There was no significant difference among the years in the miniscrew success rate. Conclusions Training the residents in an orthodontic graduate program using CBCT may be helpful to avoid root damage and to decrease the miniscrew failure rate.

Abstract
One-third of postmenopausal women experience at least one osteoporotic bone fracture in their lifetime that occurs spontaneously or from low-impact events. However, osteoporosis-associated jaw bone fractures are extremely rare. It was also observed that jaw bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) have a higher capacity to form mineralized tissues than limb BMSCs. At present, the underlying causes and mechanisms of variations between jaw bone and limb bone during postmenopause are largely unknown. Thus, the objective of the current study was to examine the site-specific effects of estrogen deficiency using comprehensive analysis of bone quantity and quality, and its association with characterization of cellular components of bone. Nine rats (female, 6 months old) for each bilateral sham and ovariectomy (OVX) surgery were obtained and maintained for 2 months after surgery. A hemi-mandible and a femur from each rat were characterized for parameters of volume, mineral density, cortical and trabecular morphology, and static and dynamic mechanical analysis. Another set of 5 rats (female, 9 months old) was obtained for assays of BMSCs. Following cytometry to identify BMSCs, bioassays for proliferation, and osteogenic, adipogenic, chondrogenic differentiation, and cell mitochondrial stress tests were performed. In addition, mRNA expression of BMSCs was analyzed. OVX decreased bone quantity and quality (mineral content, morphology, and energy dissipation) of femur while those of mandible were not influenced. Cellular assays demonstrated that mandible BMSCs showed greater differentiation than femur BMSCs. Gene ontology pathway analysis indicated that the mandibular BMSCs showed most significant differential expression of genes in the regulatory pathways of osteoblast differentiation, SMAD signaling, cartilage development, and glucose transmembrane transporter activity. These findings suggested that active mandibular BMSCs maintain bone formation and mineralization by balancing the rapid bone resorption caused by estrogen deficiency. These characteristics likely help reduce the risk of osteoporotic fracture in postmenopausal jawbone.

Abstract
PURPOSE Masticatory loading triggers active bone remodeling, altering alveolar bone mineral density (BMD). While dental implants are placed to bear masticatory loading, their influence on changing bone properties has not been fully investigated. Objective of this pilot study was to examine whether the dental implantation has an effect on BMD distribution of bone by comparing dentate, edentulous, and edentulous patients with implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 19 partially edentulous patients (Dent), 19 edentulous patients (Edent), and 16 edentulous patients who received implants in the mandible (Edent+Im), were obtained. CBCT images were also obtained from 5 patients within Edent+Im group, before implant placement and after implant loading. Basal cortical bone region of the mandible was digitally isolated. A histogram of gray levels proportional to BMD was obtained to assess mean, histogram standard deviation (HSD), fifth percentile of low and high values (Low5 and High5) of the BMD distribution. Multivariate analysis of variance and paired t-test were used to compare the BMD parameters among the 3 dental status groups and between pre- and post-implantation, respectively. RESULTS Edentulous patients with implants had significantly greater HSD and High5 values compared to edentulous patients (P < .013). All other comparisons were not significant (P > .097). Mean, HSD, and High5 values significantly increased after receiving implants (P < .022). CONCLUSION The current findings suggested that receiving dental implants promoted oral bone mineralization for edentulous patients. The longitudinal investigation could provide valuable information on understanding the effects of implantation on the behavior of oral bone quality.

Abstract
Objective Determine compression generated by lag and neutral screws over 12 h using two bone analogs. Study design Experimental study. Sample population Bone analogs were made of composite synthetic bone (CSB) or three‐dimensional printed polylactic acid (PLA). Analogs had a 2 mm exterior shell with a 10 mm thick internal layer of open‐cell material. Methods Bone analogs were opposed, making a 4‐sided box with open ends. A central channel contained the sensor and the screws passed through it to engage both paired analogs. Four screw/analog conditions were tested: neutral and lag screw with bicortical engagement, neutral and lag screw with unicortical engagement. All screws were tightened to 2 Nm torque and compression values recorded at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 6, and 12 h (six trials per condition). Medians were compared across groups for statistical significance. Results There was no difference in median compression between lag and neutral bicortical screws. For PLA, greater median compression was generated by neutral (median 437 N) and lag (median 379 N) bicortical screws compared to neutral unicortical screws (median 208 N, p < .001); lag bicortical screws generated greater median compression than lag unicortical screws (median 265 N, p = .012). For CSB, lag bicortical screws (median 293 N) generated greater median compression than neutral unicortical screws (median 228 N, p = .008). Conclusion Lag and neutral screws generated similar compression. Bicortical screws had higher median compression than unicortical screws in bone analogs. Clinical significance Neutral screws generate compression in cancellous bone analogs that can be increased with bicortical bone engagement.

Abstract
As an alternative to drug treatments, low-magnitude mechanical stimulation (LMMS) may improve skeletal health without potential side effects from drugs. LMMS has been shown to increase bone health short term in both animal and clinical studies. Long-term changes to the mechanical properties of bone from LMMS are currently unknown, so the objective of this research was to establish the methodology and preliminary results for investigating the long-term effects of whole body vibration therapy on the elastic and viscoelastic properties of bone. In this study, 10-week-old female BALB/cByJ mice were given LMMS (15 min/day, 5 days/week, 0.3 g, 90 Hz) for 8 weeks; SHAM did not receive LMMS. Two sets of groups remained on study for an additional 8 or 16 weeks post-LMMS (N = 17). Micro-CT and fluorochrome histomorphology of these femurs were studied and results were published by Bodnyk et al. (2020, "The Long-Term Residual Effects of Low-Magnitude Mechanical Stimulation Therapy on Skeletal Health," J. Biol. Eng., 14, Article No. 9.). Femoral quasi-static bending stiffness trended 4.2% increase in stiffness after 8 weeks of LMMS and 1.3% increase 8 weeks post-LMMS compared to SHAM. Damping, tan delta, and loss stiffness significantly increased by 17.6%, 16.3%, and 16.6%, respectively, at 8 weeks LMMS compared to SHAM. Finite element models of applied LMMS signal showed decreased stress in the mid-diaphyseal region at both 8-week LMMS and 8-week post-LMMS compared to SHAM. Residual mechanical changes in bone during and post-LMMS indicate that LMMS could be used to increase long-term mechanical integrity of bone.

Abstract
Objectives: Bisphosphonates (BPs) are powerful inhibitors of osteoclastogenesis and are used to prevent osteoporotic bone loss and reduce the risk of osteoporotic fracture in patients suffering from postmenopausal osteoporosis. Patients with breast cancer or gynecological malignancies being treated with BPs or those receiving bone-targeted therapy for metastatic prostate cancer are at increased risk of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). Although BPs markedly ameliorate osteoporosis, their adverse effects largely limit the clinical application of these drugs. This study focused on providing a deeper understanding of one of the most popular BPs, the alendronate (ALN)-induced perturbation of the bone proteome and microenvironmental pathophysiology. Methods: To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying ALN-induced side-effects, an unbiased and global proteomics approach combined with big data bioinformatics was applied. This was followed by biochemical and functional analyses to determine the clinicopathological mechanisms affected by ALN. Results: The findings from this proteomics study suggest that the RIPK3/Wnt/GSK3/β-catenin signaling pathway is significantly perturbed upon ALN treatment, resulting in abnormal angiogenesis, inflammation, anabolism, remodeling, and mineralization in bone cells in an in vitro cell culture system. Conclusion: Our investigation into potential key signaling mechanisms in response to ALN provides a rational basis for suppressing BP-induced adverse effect and presents various therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Regeneration of large bones remains a challenge in surgery. Recent developmental engineering efforts aim to recapitulate endochondral ossification (EO), a critical step in bone formation. However, this process entails the condensation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into cartilaginous templates, which requires long-term cultures and is challenging to scale up. Here, a biomimetic scaffold is developed that allows rapid and self-sustained EO without initial hypertrophic chondrogenesis. The design comprises a porous chondroitin sulfate cryogel decorated with whitlockite calcium phosphate nanoparticles, and a soft hydrogel occupying the porous space. This composite scaffold enables human endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs) and MSCs to rapidly assemble into osteovascular niches in immunodeficient mice. These niches contain ECFC-lined blood vessels and perivascular MSCs that differentiate into RUNX2+ OSX+ pre-osteoblasts after one week in vivo. Subsequently, multiple ossification centers are formed, leading to de novo bone tissue formation by eight weeks, including mature human OCN+ OPN+ osteoblasts, collagen-rich mineralized extracellular matrix, hydroxyapatite, osteoclast activity, and gradual mechanical competence. The early establishment of blood vessels is essential, and grafts that do not contain ECFCs fail to produce osteovascular niches and ossification centers. The findings suggest a novel bioengineering approach to recapitulate EO in the context of human bone regeneration.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Patients diagnosed with a cleft palate often have a congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisor. The congenital cleft presents the practitioner with challenges including the quantity and quality of bone, a surgically managed cleft correction, and limited clinical space. PURPOSE The purpose of the present prospective investigation was to report preliminary results at the 1-year follow-up for this planned 5-year investigation of narrow diameter implants used to restore a missing lateral incisor in patients with a cleft palate. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fourteen study participants with a cleft palate and a missing maxillary lateral incisor were enrolled based on established criteria. Narrow diameter implants (AstraTech OsseoSpeed TX 3.0S and 3.5 mm) were placed by using a 2-stage protocol and restored. All study participants received an Atlantis abutment and a cement-retained crown. Four probing depth measurements and bleeding on probing were measured at baseline and at 1 year. Probing depth measurements were evaluated using a 2-way repeated measures ANOVA with Tukey-Kramer multiple comparisons tests. Radiographic marginal bone loss was measured at 1-year by using a digital subtraction technique and evaluated by using a repeated measures ANOVA. Pretreatment cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were used to measure a mean gray level that was proportional to bone mineral density (BMD) in the implant site. One-way mixed ANOVA was used to compare the mean gray level and average implant stability quotient (ISQ) loading. A Pearson correlation was also tested between those parameters (α=.05) for each statistical analysis. RESULTS The mean marginal bone loss at 1 year was 0.601 ±0.48 mm. Regarding probing depth measurements, a 2-way repeated measures ANOVA found both the location (P=.012) and time (P=.009) were significant. The Tukey-Kramer multiple comparisons test showed a significant difference between the buccal and distal site (P=.006) from baseline to 1-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Narrow diameter implants are a reliable treatment for replacing a missing lateral incisor in patients with a cleft palate at 1 year, with an implant survival rate of 100% and implant success rate of 94% using the established criteria. A negative association was found between the bone mineral density and the implant stability in the alveolar cleft site of a patient with a cleft palate. The peri-implant soft tissue probe depths exhibited significant change during the first year.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the post space volume changes following removal of glass fiber posts in endodontically treated teeth by using erbium, chromium:yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser to the conventional ultrasonic method. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twelve single-root human extracted teeth were cut into 13 mm near cementoenamel junction (CEJ), and then underwent endodontic treatment. The post spaces were prepared to 8 mm in length. Glass fiber posts were inserted with self-curing resin cement. Specimens were randomly assigned to laser or ultrasonic methods for their post removal. Post space volumes were measured using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) before post cementation and after post removal. Dentin thickness was measured after post removal at coronal, middle, and apical third of the root canal space. Paired t-test and t-test were used to compare space volumes between before post cementation and after post removal, and between laser and ultrasonic groups, respectively. RESULTS Six specimens were tested for each group. The average volume change was 6.499 mm3 in laser and 7.418 mm3 in ultrasonic method. There was not a significant difference between laser and ultrasonic group in respect of post space volume changes (p = 0.71). Both methods showed significant volume increase following post removal (p < 0.05). Significantly less dentin was lost when laser was used for post removal in the coronal portion of the post space (p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Er,Cr:YSGG laser can be used as effective option, comparable to the conventional ultrasonic method when removing posts in endodontically treated teeth. Laser has the potential to provide conservative post removal.

Abstract
Estrogen deficiency activates bone resorbing cells (osteoclasts) and to a lesser extent bone forming cells (osteoblasts), resulting in a gap between resorption and formation that leads to a net loss of bone. These cell activities alter bone architecture and tissue composition. Thus, the objective of this study is to examine whether multiscale (10-2 to 10-7 m) characterization can provide more integrated information to understand the effects of estrogen deficiency on the fracture risk of bone. This is the first study to examine the effects of estrogen deficiency on multiscale characteristics of the same bone specimen. Sprague-Dawley female rats (6 months old) were obtained for a bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) or a sham operation (sham). Micro-computed tomography of rat femurs provided bone volumetric, mineral density, and morphological parameters. Dynamic mechanical analysis, static elastic and fracture mechanical testing, and nanoindentation were also performed using the same femur. As expected, the current findings indicate that OVX reduces bone quantity (mass and bone mineral density) and quality (morphology, and fracture displacement). Additionally, they demonstrated reductions in amount and heterogeneity of tissue mineral density (TMD) and viscoelastic properties. The current results validate that multiscale characterization for the same bone specimen can provide more comprehensive insights to understand how the bone components contributed to mechanical behavior at different scales.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Many mechanical load-bearing joints of the body are prone to posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), including the knee joint and temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Early detection of PTOA can be beneficial in prevention or alleviating further progression of the disease. RECENT FINDINGS Various mouse models, similar to those used in development of novel diagnosis strategies for early stages of OA, have been proposed to study early PTOA. While many studies have focused on OA and PTOA in the knee joint, early diagnostic methods for OA and PTOA of the TMJ are still not well established. Previously, we showed that fluorescent near-infrared imaging can diagnose inflammation and cartilage damage in mouse models of knee PTOA. Here we propose that the same approach can be used for early diagnosis of TMJ-PTOA. In this review, we present a brief overview of PTOA, application of relevant mouse models, current imaging methods available to examine TMJ-PTOA, and the prospects of near-infrared optical imaging to diagnose early-stage TMJ-OA.

Abstract
PURPOSE To measure the retrieval force required to remove 1.5-mm-thick CAD/CAM zirconia copings cemented on zirconia (Zr) and titanium (Ti) stock implant abutments after a single application of erbium-doped yttrium scandium gallium garnet (Er:YSGG) laser. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 60 monolithic Zr copings were cemented on Zr and Ti implant abutments with either a resin-modified glass-ionomer (RelyX Luting Plus Cement, 3M ESPE; Rx) or a zinc oxide eugenol cement (Temp-Bond, Kerr; Tb). These abutment-coping specimens were randomly divided into 12 groups based on laser application (vs control [C]), abutment type (Zr vs Ti), cement (Rx vs Tb), and storage condition (dry [D] vs saline water [W]). Er:YSGG laser was applied at 6 W, 30% water-60% air, and 20 Hz (300 mJ/pulse energy) postcementation following a defined pattern. The force required to remove all the cemented copings from their abutments was measured on a universal testing machine (Instron model 4204). Descriptive statistics, multi-factor analysis of variance, and post hoc Tukey honest significant difference tests (α = .05) were performed. RESULTS The mean peak force values at removal of the Zr abutment groups were 470.3 ± 151.33 N (ZrRxC), 161.7 ± 19.29 N (ZrRxD), 316.03 ± 95.24 N (ZrRxW), 103.27 ± 24.53 N (ZrTbC), 39.33 ± 6.21 N (ZrTbD), and 20.33 ± 6.45 N (ZrTbW); and for the Ti abutment groups were 349.80 ± 106.82 N (TiRxC), 84.63 ± 14.02 N (TiRxD), 177 ± 62.57 N (TiRxW), 54.77 ± 9.10 N (TiTbC), 22.67 ± 4.32 N (TiTbD), and 11.57 ± 2.30 N (TiTbW). CONCLUSION Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that Er:YSGG laser allows for easier removal of cemented Zr copings with lower removal forces, with Ti abutment groups requiring lower forces than Zr abutment specimens. No significant difference was seen between laser and control groups for Tb compared to Rx. Er:YSGG laser shows great clinical promise for predictable retrievability of cemented, monolithic Zr implant crowns, especially with stronger resin-based cement such as Rx. With further clinical evidence, this could be very useful for clinicians managing cement-retained implant crown complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study was aimed at investigating the reliability and accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) diagnosis of contact between a temporary anchorage device (TAD) and tooth root and assessing any effect produced by metal brackets, imaging software program, and image segmentation or color enhancement tools. METHODS Eighteen fresh pig mandibles were used. TADs (Vector, 1.4 × 8 mm) were placed at the buccal intermolar alveolar bone on both sides of the mandibles. With soft tissue kept intact, each mandible underwent CBCT scans (voxel size, 400 μm) before and after placing TADs, and after placing metal brackets on involved molars. Alveolar bone specimens containing the TADs were then exposed to microcomputed tomography (microCT) scans (voxel size, 27 μm) after TAD removal. Two independent raters, blinded of image identity, diagnosed TAD-root contact using ImageJ (National Institutes of Health and the Laboratory for Optical and Computational Instrumentation, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wis) for microCT; Dolphin (Dolphin Imaging and Management Solutions, Chatsworth, Calif) and Anatomage software programs (Anatomage, Santa Clara, Calif) for CBCT images. Intrarater and interrater reliability and diagnostic accuracy were statistically assessed using Cohen kappa and McNemar tests. RESULTS Intrarater and interrater reliability of TAD-root contact diagnoses were perfect for microCT diagnoses (κ = 1), generally moderate to good (κ >0.5) for CBCT diagnoses except for the use of color enhancement tools (κ <0.25). For diagnostic accuracy, there was generally a low agreement (κ <0.45) between CBCT and microCT (gold standard). The percent accuracy ranged from 68.1% to 79.2% and was not different among raters, bracket presence/absence, or software choices (chi-square tests, P >0.05). Overall, diagnostic sensitivity was above 80%, whereas specificity was below 55%. CONCLUSIONS Despite good reliability, diagnoses of TAD-root contact using 400 μm voxel size CBCT imaging tend to be inaccurate, with a likelihood of high false-positive diagnoses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Primary stability is required for successful use of microscrew. This study investigated correlations among biomechanical, morphological, and clinical values in relationship to root contact and different placement locations. MATERIALS/METHODS Thirty-three microscrews were placed between the molars (n = 18) or in the body of the mandible (n = 15) in three pigs. Insertion torque, Periotest, resonance frequency analysis (RFA), and static and dynamic stiffness were measured. Cone beam computed tomography was performed before and after the insertion of microscrews. Interproximal microscrews were divided into root contacted microscrews (n = 9) and non-root contact microscrews (n = 9). Factorial analysis of variance was conducted, with significance set at P < 0.05. RESULTS A significant difference was observed between bodily and root contacted microscrews in Periotest, RFA, static and dynamic stiffness, Tanδ, and bone density (RFA, P = 0.045; all others, P < 0.001). A significant difference was observed between bodily and non-root contact microscrews in Periotest, RFA, and bone density (RFA, P = 0.025; all others, P < 0.001). A significant difference was observed in static (P = 0.01) and dynamic (P = 0.038) stiffness between microscrews with and without contact. Dynamic stiffness (P = 0.02) and Tanδ (P = 0.03) showed significant correlations with Periotest results only in bodily microscrews. LIMITATIONS Since a pig bone was used, some differences in the quality and quantity of the bone might be observed between humans. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS Stiffness values distinguished between microscrews with and without contact. Periotest and RFA results indicated that bodily microscrews were more stable than interproximal microscrews. Periotest and RFA may be useful with large, microscrews and/or in thick cortical bone, but further investigation is required to determine the stability of interproximal microscrews.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis causes severe loss of bone quantity and quality in limb bone but has a lesser effect on jaw bone. Thus, the objective of this study was to examine whether ovariectomy (OVX) and mastication alter the regional variation of jaw bone characteristics. Sprague-Dawley female rats (6 months) were given a bilateral OVX or a sham operation (SHAM) (n = 10 for each group). After 2 months post-OVX, the hemi-mandible from each rat was dissected. A micro-computed tomography based mean, standard deviation (SD), the lower and upper 5th percentile (Low5 and High5) values of tissue mineral density (TMD) histograms were assessed for whole bone (WB), alveolar bone (AB), cortical bone (CB), and trabecular bone (TB) regions. Morphology of TB and periodontal ligament (PDL) was also obtained. Layers of AB were segmented up to 400 μm from the PDL. Mechanical properties at the tissue level were measured by nanoindentation at the same site by a single loading-unloading cycle of indentation in hydration. The AB and TB regions had significantly lower TMD Mean, Low5, and High5 but higher SD than the CB region for both sham and OVX groups (p < 0.01). TMD parameters of the OVX group rapidly increased up to 60 μm away from the PDL and were significantly higher than those of the sham group starting at 280 μm and farther in the CB region (p < 0.05). All values of morphological and nanoindentation parameters were not significantly different between sham and OVX groups (p > 0.06). Estrogen deficiency induced by OVX did not deteriorate bone characteristics including mineral density, morphology, and nanoindentation parameters in rat mandibles. Masticatory loading had an effect on the TMD parameters at the limited region of AB. These results provide insight into why osteoporosis-associated jaw bone fractures are extremely rare.

Abstract
Implants can be a treatment option when there is sufficient quantity and quality of bone to provide support for long-term success. In the reconstruction of defects, autogenous bone remains the gold standard for its osteogenic and compatibility properties. However, the disadvantage of secondary surgery and the associated donor site morbidity prompts researchers to develop the ideal bone substitute for optimum bone reconstruction. Parathyroid hormone (PTH1-34) has provided a new option for improvement in bone regeneration. This study used a pig model to evaluate the effectiveness of parathyroid hormone when added to a xenograft, Bio-Oss, in reconstructing mandible defects. Six domestic pigs were used to create 3 posterior mandibular defects measuring 2 × 1-cm bilaterally with a total of 36 defects to simulate tooth extraction sites in humans. The defects were grafted in random order and divided into 3 groups as follows: control (no graft), Bio-Oss without PTH, and Bio-Oss with PTH. Defects were assessed with cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT), micro computerized tomography (microCT), nanoindentation, and histology. Results showed that adding PTH1-34 significantly enhanced the graft construct. CBCT showed a significant increase in the degree of bone mineralization. Nanoindentation showed increased hardness of regenerated bone and accelerated bone mineralization with PTH. MicroCT analysis revealed a trend toward higher bone regeneration and mineralization. The histological analysis showed a positive trend of the increase in cortical bone thickness and mineral apposition rate. In conclusion, the local addition of PTH1-34 to a xenograft has shown promising results to enhance bone regeneration in the reconstruction of mandibular defects.

Abstract
Mutations in PHEX cause X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), a form of hypophosphatemic rickets. Hyp (Phex mutant) mice recapitulate the XLH phenotype. Dental disorders are prevalent in individuals with XLH; however, underlying dentoalveolar defects remain incompletely understood. We analyzed Hyp mouse dentoalveolar defects at 42 and 90 d postnatal to comparatively define effects of XLH on dental formation and function. Phex mRNA was expressed by odontoblasts (dentin), osteocytes (bone), and cementocytes (cellular cementum) in wild-type (WT) mice. Enamel density was unaffected, though enamel volume was significantly reduced in Hyp mice. Dentin defects in Hyp molars were indicated histologically by wide predentin, thin dentin, and extensive interglobular dentin, confirming micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) findings of reduced dentin volume and density. Acellular cementum was thin and showed periodontal ligament detachment. Mechanical testing indicated dramatically altered periodontal mechanical properties in Hyp versus WT mice. Hyp mandibles demonstrated expanded alveolar bone with accumulation of osteoid, and micro-CT confirmed decreased bone volume fraction and alveolar bone density. Cellular cementum area was significantly increased in Hyp versus WT molars owing to accumulation of hypomineralized cementoid. Histology, scanning electron microscopy, and nanoindentation revealed hypomineralized "halos" surrounding Hyp cementocyte and osteocyte lacunae. Three-dimensional micro-CT analyses confirmed larger cementocyte/osteocyte lacunae and significantly reduced perilacunar mineral density. While long bone and alveolar bone osteocytes in Hyp mice overexpressed fibroblast growth factor 23 (Fgf23), its expression in molars was much lower, with cementocyte Fgf23 expression particularly low. Expression and distribution of other selected markers were disturbed in Hyp versus WT long bone, alveolar bone, and cementum, including osteocyte/cementocyte marker dentin matrix protein 1 (Dmp1). This study reports for the first time a quantitative analysis of the Hyp mouse dentoalveolar phenotype, including all mineralized tissues. Novel insights into cellular cementum provide evidence for a role for cementocytes in perilacunar mineralization and cementum biology.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The reliability of the cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) method has been questioned. The objective of this research was to evaluate the diagnostic reliability of the CVM method to diagnose the mandibular growth spurt using longitudinal records from an alternative database (Iowa Facial Growth Study [IFGS]) using established diagnostic testing methods. METHODS Cephalometric films from 43 subjects (males = 20, females = 23) with Class I or Class II skeletal pattern from the IFGS were scanned, digitized, and adjusted for magnification. At least 5 consecutive, annual films were digitized. For each subject, mandibular length (Co-Gn) was measured for each film, and the growth increment between films was calculated. The largest growth increment was the growth spurt. For each subject, the film displaying CVM stage 3 was identified by a blinded examiner viewing the films in random order. Interrater and intrarater repeatability for Co-Gn (intraclass correlation) and CVM staging (weighted kappa) were calculated. Diagnostic tests, including sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were carried out. The present data were compared with data previously derived from samples of the University of Michigan, Oregon, and Burlington Growth studies (UMGS, OGS, and BGS, respectively). A multilevel logistic regression analysis was also run with the mandibular growth peak as the response variable. RESULTS Interrater repeatability for mandibular measurements (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] = 0.91) and CVM staging (k = 0.88) were excellent. Intrarater repeatability for mandibular measurements (ICC = 0.98) and CVM staging (kw = 0.55) were excellent to moderate. The UMGS data demonstrated higher sensitivity with comparable specificity. Accuracy was largely similar. Their PPV and NPV had larger ranges. The OGS and BGS data, compared with the IFGS data, showed that our sensitivity and PPVs were higher, that their specificity was higher, and that the NPV and accuracy were very similar. The regression analysis was applied to age groups 10-11 years through 13-14 years. Only chronological age was significant (P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Agreement between CVM stage 3 and the maximum mandibular growth spurt is inconsistent. The diagnostic capability of CVM for the mandibular growth spurt is questionable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Miniscrew has been widely used as an absolute anchorage in orthodontic treatment. Types of miniscrew with different diameter, length, shape, and thread dimensions may have a substantial effect on mechanical stability of the miniscrew system. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate miniscrew type-dependent mechanical stability to assess mechanical properties of miniscrew systems in various thickness of artificial bone block using different measurement tools. METHODS Two types of miniscrews (15 Tomas and 15 AbsoAnchor) were placed in artificial bone block with different thickness of 1.5, 2.0, 3.0 mm. Values of maximum insertion torque, removal torque, Periotest, implant stability quotient, static stiffness, dynamic stiffness, and energy dissipation ability were assessed for each miniscrew system. FINDINGS The maximum insertion torque, removal torque, implant stability quotient, static and dynamic stiffness values significantly increased when the miniscrews were placed in thicker bone block while Periotest values decreased. The static stiffness, Periotest and implant stability quotient values were significantly correlated each other and also with other mechanical properties (p < 0.001) except tan δ (p > 0.35). However, the slopes of some correlations and absolute values of measurement were significantly different dependent on the miniscrew types (p < 0.025). INTERPRETATION The current findings suggest that miniscrew type-dependent calibrations are required to estimate mechanical stability of the miniscrew systems despite the utilization of same measurement tool.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to determine whether perioperative immunologic markers monitoring could predict early acute cellular rejection (ACR) after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). MATERIALS AND METHODS From September 2010 to June 2013, a total of 172 patients underwent LDLT at our transplant center. Of them, 26 patients were excluded because of infection. We retrospectively reviewed the remaining 146 patients. CD4 lymphocyte activity, T cell subsets test, and serum cytokine panel were checked on the day before transplantation and at 20 days after transplantation. These patients were divided into 3 groups: 1. normal liver function test (LFT) group; 2. increased LFT without rejection group; and 3. early ACR group. We excluded the increased LFT without rejection group in order to rule out multiple factors influencing immunologic factors. RESULTS CD4 lymphocyte activity (P = .004) was significantly increased while CD4+/CD25+/FOXP3+ cells (P < .001) and interleukin (IL)-17 (P = .002) levels were significantly decreased during the perioperative period. Pretransplant IL-6 (P = .014) and IL-17 (P = .029) levels in the early ACR group were significantly lower than those in the normal LFT group. The proportion of patients with increased IL-6 during perioperative period in the early ACR group was higher than that in the normal LFT group, although the difference was not statistically significant (P = .065). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that IL-6 and IL-17 levels are associated with early ACR in LDLT patients. However, whether monitoring perioperative immunologic markers could predict early ACR remains unclear. Further prospective studies are needed to reach a definite conclusion.

Abstract
This literature review is dedicated to urethritis which is one of the most common disorders of urogenital tract in men. The current views in its etiology as well as problems in diagnosis with the main being the frequent inability to isolate etiological factor of inflammation it the urethra are described. The analysis of literature suggests a possible role of bacteria, which are associated with bacterial vaginosis in women, in the development of the urethritis in men. However, the frequency of such urethritis and causative role of specific pathogens has not been studied yet. Meanwhile, the exact determination of the causes of inflammation has direct influence on the choice of appropriate etiologic treatment and can increase its efficiency.

Abstract
We introduce a novel transformation-induced plasticity mechanism, i.e., a martensitic transformation from fcc phase to bcc phase, in medium-entropy alloys (MEAs). A VCrFeCoNi MEA system is designed by thermodynamic calculations in consideration of phase stability between bcc and fcc phases. The resultantly formed bcc martensite favorably contributes to the transformation-induced plasticity, thereby leading to a significant enhancement in both strength and ductility as well as strain hardening. We reveal the microstructural evolutions according to the Co-Ni balance and their contributions to a mechanical response. The Co-Ni balance plays a leading role in phase stability and consequently tunes the cryogenic-temperature strength-ductility balance. The main difference from recently-reported metastable high-entropy dual-phase alloys is the formation of bcc martensite as a daughter phase, which shows significant effects on strain hardening. The hcp phase in the present MEA mostly acts as a nucleation site for the bcc martensite. Our findings demonstrate that the fcc to bcc transformation can be an attractive route to a new MEA design strategy for improving cryogenic strength-ductility.

Abstract
Bone quality as well as its quantity at the implant interface is responsible for determining stability of the implant system. The objective of this study is to examine the nanoindentation based elastic modulus (E) at different bone regions adjacent to titanium dental implants with guided bone regeneration (GBR) treated with DBM and BMP-2 during different post-implantation periods. Six adult male beagle dogs were used to create circumferential defects with buccal bone removal at each implantation site of mandibles. The implant systems were randomly assigned to only GBR (control), GBR with demineralized bone matrix (DBM), and GBR with DBM + recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) (BMP) groups. Three animals were sacrificed at each 4 and 8 weeks of post-implantation healing periods. Following buccolingual dissection, the E values were assessed at the defects (Defect), interfacial bone tissue adjacent to the implant (Interface), and pre-existing bone tissue away from the implant (Pre-existing). The E values of BMP group had significantly higher than control and DBM groups for interface and defect regions at 4 weeks of post-implantation period and for the defect region at 8 weeks (p < 0.043). DBM group had higher E values than control group only for the defect region at 4 weeks (p < 0.001). The current results indicate that treatment of rhBMP-2 with GBR accelerates bone tissue mineralization for longer healing period because the GBR likely facilitates a microenvironment to provide more metabolites with open space of the defect region surrounding the implant.

Abstract
During pregnancy and lactation, the maternal skeleton provides calcium for fetal/infant growth, resulting in substantial bone loss, which partially recovers after weaning. However, the amount of bone that is lost and the extent of post-weaning recovery are highly variable among different skeletal sites, and, despite persistent alterations in bone structure at some locations, reproductive history does not increase postmenopausal fracture risk. To explain this phenomenon, we hypothesized that the degree of reproductive bone loss/recovery at trabecular sites may vary depending on the extent to which the trabecular compartment is involved in the bone's load-bearing function. Using a rat model, we quantified the proportion of the load carried by the trabeculae, as well as the extent of reproductive bone loss and recovery, at two distinct skeletal sites: the tibia and lumbar vertebra. Both sites underwent significant bone loss during pregnancy and lactation, which was partially recovered post-weaning. However, the extent of the deterioration and the resumption of trabecular load-bearing capacity after weaning varied substantially. Tibial trabecular bone, which bore a low proportion of the total applied load, underwent dramatic and irreversible microstructural deterioration during reproduction. Meanwhile, vertebral trabecular bone bore a greater fraction of the load, underwent minimal deterioration in microarchitecture, and resumed its full load-bearing capacity after weaning. Because pregnancy and lactation are physiological processes, the distinctive responses to these natural events among different skeletal sites may help to elucidate the extent of the trabecular bone's structural versus metabolic functions.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine relationships among a variety of bone characteristics, including volumetric, mineral density, geometric, dynamic mechanical analysis, and static fracture mechanical properties. As MYO9B is an unconventional myosin in bone cells responsible for normal skeletal growth, bone characteristics of wild-type (WT), heterozygous (HET), and MYO9B knockout (KO) mice groups were compared as an animal model to express different bone quantity and quality. Forty-five sex-matched 12-week-old mice were used in this study. After euthanization, femurs were isolated and scanned using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) to assess bone volumetric, tissue mineral density (TMD), and geometric parameters. Then, a non-destructive dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) was performed by applying oscillatory bending displacement on the femur. Finally, the same femur was subject to static fracture testing. KO group had significantly lower length, bone mineral density (BMD), bone mass and volume, dynamic and static stiffness, and strength than WT and HET groups (p < 0.019). On the other hand, TMD parameters of KO group were comparable with those of WT group. HET group showed volumetric, geometric, and mechanical properties similar to WT group, but had lower TMD (p < 0.014). Non-destructive micro-CT and DMA parameters had significant positive correlations with strength (p < 0.015) without combined effect of groups and sex on the correlations (p > 0.077). This comprehensive characterization provides a better understanding of interactive behavior between the tissue- and organ-level of the same femur. The current findings elucidate that MYO9B is responsible for controlling bone volume to determine the growth rate and fracture risk of bone.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study examined (1) if cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) can determine relative differences in bone mineral density distribution using clinical images of patients' mandibular bone and (2) if the relative differences can be used to detect the effects of sex and age on bone mineral density distribution. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-six clinical CBCT images from patients (36 females and 30 males) of 3 age groups (40, 50, and 60 years) were identified. Alveolar (AB) and basal cortical bone (CB) regions were digitally isolated. A histogram of gray levels, which are proportional to degrees of bone mineralization, was obtained from each region. Mean, variability (SD and coefficient of variation), and percentage differences of gray level parameters between AB and basal CBs were computed. RESULTS Significant sex differences in gray level variability were observed within the postmenopausal age group (P < 0.042). CONCLUSION These findings suggest that clinical CBCT images can be a valuable tool in providing information on bone quality, which is an important criterion for optimum planning for dental implant placement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this prospective, double-blind, randomized clinical trial was to compare the clinical efficiency of nickel-titanium (NiTi) and niobium-titanium-tantalum-zirconium (TiNbTaZr) archwires during initial orthodontic alignment. MATERIALS AND METHODS All subjects (ages between 12 and 20 years) underwent nonextraction treatment using 0.022-inch brackets. All patients were randomized into two groups for initial alignment with 0.016-inch NiTi archwires (n = 14), or with 0.016-inch TiNbTaZr archwires (n = 14). Digital scans were taken during the course of treatment and were used to compare the improvement in Little's Irregularity Index and the changes in intercanine and intermolar widths. RESULTS There was approximately a 27% reduction in crowding during the first month with the use of 0.016-inch TiNbTaZr (Gummetal) wire, and an additional 25% decrease in crowding was observed during the next month. There was no significant difference between the two treatment groups in the decrease in irregularity over time ( P = .29). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the changes in intercanine and intermolar width ( P = .80). CONCLUSIONS It can be concluded that Gummetal wires and conventional NiTi wires possess a similar ability to align teeth, and Gummetal wires have additional advantages over conventional NiTi, such as formability and use in patients with nickel allergy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To test a proof-of-concept that the accuracy and reliability of alveolar bone height measurements from orthodontic grade (large field-of-view [FOV], large voxel-size) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images may be improved by using pixel gray values. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty fresh cadaver pig heads underwent CBCT scans (17 × 23 cm FOV, 0.4-mm voxel size). Buccal alveolar bone heights of maxillary first molars were measured using the conventional vision-based (VB) and the proposed gray value-assisted (GVA) methods. The GVA methods entailed localization of landmarks through observation of gray value pattern changes across tissue boundaries followed by mathematical calculation of distances between landmark pixels. Interrater reliability and accuracy of CBCT measurements made by all methods were statistically analyzed by comparing with physical measurements (gold standards). RESULTS The interrater reliability of CBCT measurements made by GVA methods was comparable to physical measurements but higher than those made by the VB method. The GVA (bend-down pattern) method yielded average measurements similar to physical measurements, while those obtained by the VB and the GVA (straight pattern) methods were significantly larger (repeated measures analysis of variance, P < .001). The GVA (bend-down pattern) method also produced significantly more measurements within one voxel size of physical measurements than did the VB and GVA (straight pattern) methods (Chi-square tests, P < .017). CONCLUSIONS These data confirm a concept that local gray value change patterns may be used to improve the accuracy and reliability of alveolar bone height measurement from large FOV and large voxel-size CBCT images.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to elucidate sex differences in the anatomy of human temporomandibular joint mandibular condyles using a statistical shape and trait model (SSTM). Mandibles were obtained from 16 human cadavers (79±13years). The condyles were scanned using micro-computed tomography with 27μm resolution. An image processing algorithm was used to segment the bone, determine the border of the entire mandibular condyle and trabecular bone compartments, and create triangulated meshes of the compartments. One subject was chosen as the template and was registered to the other individuals using a coherence point drift algorithm. This process positioned all vertices at corresponding anatomic locations. For the trabecular bone region, around each vertex position, the average bone image intensity, which is proportional to bone density, and microstructural traits, including trabecular bone volume fraction, thickness, separation, connectivity, and connectivity density were calculated. For the entire mandibular condyle mesh, the surface vertices were extracted to represent the overall anatomy of the condyle. Using a SSTM, the shape and trait information was reduced to a small set of independent and uncorrelated variables for each individual. Wilcoxon rank sum tests were used to test for differences in the variables between sexes. A lasso approach was used to determine a set of variables that differentiate between sexes. Male condyles were on average larger than female condyles, with complex differences in the microstructural traits. Two out of 15 principal components were statistically different between males and females (p<0.1). The lasso approach determined a set of 7 principal components that fully described the complex shape and trait differences between males and females. A SSTM was able to determine sex-dependent differences in the shape of the mandibular condyle. These differences may alter the biomechanics of the joint and contribute to the development of temporomandibular joint disease.

Abstract
The Ras homolog A (RhoA) subfamily of Rho guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) regulates actin-based cellular functions in bone such as differentiation, migration, and mechanotransduction. Polymorphisms or genetic ablation of RHOA and some of its regulatory guanine exchange factors (GEFs) have been linked to poor bone health in humans and mice, but the effects of RhoA-specific GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) on bone quality have not yet been identified. Therefore, we examined the consequences of RhoGAP Myo9b gene knockout on bone growth, phenotype, and cellular activity. Male and female mice lacking both alleles demonstrated growth retardation and decreased bone formation rates during early puberty. These mice had smaller, weaker bones by 4 weeks of age, but only female KOs had altered cellular numbers, with fewer osteoblasts and more osteoclasts. By 12 weeks of age, bone quality in KOs worsened. In contrast, 4-week-old heterozygotes demonstrated bone defects that resolved by 12 weeks of age. Throughout, Myo9b ablation affected females more than males. Osteoclast activity appeared unaffected. In primary osteogenic cells, Myo9b was distributed in stress fibers and focal adhesions, and its absence resulted in poor spreading and eventual detachment from culture dishes. Similarly, MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts with transiently suppressed Myo9b levels spread poorly and contained decreased numbers of focal adhesions. These cells also demonstrated reduced ability to undergo IGF-1-induced spreading or chemotaxis toward IGF-1, though responses to PDGF and BMP-2 were unaffected. IGF-1 receptor (IGF1R) activation was normal in cells with diminished Myo9b levels, but the activated receptor was redistributed from stress fibers and focal adhesions into nuclei, potentially affecting receptor accessibility and gene expression. These results demonstrate that Myo9b regulates a subset of RhoA-activated processes necessary for IGF-1 responsiveness in osteogenic cells, and is critical for normal bone formation in growing mice. © 2017 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is often treated with bisphosphonates (eg, alendronate, [ALN]), but oversuppression of bone turnover by long-term bisphosphonate treatment may decrease bone tissue heterogeneity. Thus, alternate treatment strategies after long-term bisphosphonates are of great clinical interest. The objective of the current study was to determine the effect of intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) following 12 weeks of ALN (a bisphosphonate) treatment in 6-month-old, ovariectomized (OVX) rats on bone microarchitecture, bone remodeling dynamics, and bone mechanical properties at multiple length scales. By using in vivo μCT and 3D in vivo dynamic bone histomorphometry techniques, we demonstrated the efficacy of PTH following ALN therapy for stimulating new bone formation, and increasing trabecular thickness and bone volume fraction. In healthy bone, resorption and formation are coupled and balanced to sustain bone mass. OVX results in resorption outpacing formation, and subsequent bone loss and reduction in bone tissue modulus and tissue heterogeneity. We showed that ALN treatment effectively reduced bone resorption activity and regained the balance with bone formation, preventing additional bone loss. However, ALN treatment also resulted in significant reductions in the heterogeneity of bone tissue mineral density and tissue modulus. On the other hand, PTH treatment was able to shift the bone remodeling balance in favor of formation, with or without a prior treatment with ALN. Moreover, by altering the tissue mineralization, PTH alleviated the reduction in heterogeneity of tissue material properties induced by prolonged ALN treatment. Furthermore, switching to PTH treatment from ALN improved bone's postyield mechanical properties at both the whole bone and apparent level compared to ALN alone. The current findings suggest that intermittent PTH treatment should be considered as a viable treatment option for patients with prior treatment with bisphosphonates. © 2017 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To test the hypothesis that the use of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) reduces elevated pain by controlling the release of neurochemicals during orthodontic tooth movement. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Okayama University. Sixty-five Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to tooth movement and LLLT. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adult Sprague Dawley rats were used in this study. Groups included day 0 controls, irradiation only controls and with or without irradiation sacrificed at 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days after tooth movement (n=5 each, total n=65). Tooth movement was achieved by insertion of an elastic module between molar teeth. Immunohistochemistry for CD-11b, GFAP and c-fos in the brain stem was performed. Stains were quantified by constructing a three-dimensional image using IMARIS, and counted using NEURON TRACER and WinROOF software. Two-way ANOVA followed by a Tukey's post hoc test (P<.05) was used for statistical comparison between groups. RESULTS C-fos expression was significantly increased at one and three days after tooth movement. LLLT significantly diminished this increase in c-fos expression only at one day after tooth movement CD-b11 and GFAP expression also significantly increased after tooth movement. No significant change was observed for CD-11b and GFAP expression in the central nervous system upon LLLT. CONCLUSION Low-level laser therapy may reduce early neurochemical markers but have no effect on delayed pain neurochemical markers after tooth movement.

Abstract
PURPOSE To select an ideal interocclusal record material for cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-guided implant surgery based on the material's radiodensity on the scan. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twelve commonly used interocclusal record materials were used for this investigation: two were waxes, one was polyether, and nine were polyvinyl-siloxane-type materials. A scan template was fabricated by duplicating existing dentures in Ortho-Jet acrylic resin mixed with 30% barium powder for the teeth and 10% barium powder for the denture base between the teeth and the tissue. An interocclusal record was fabricated with each material, and the same template was used to obtain a CBCT scan with an ICAT machine (Imaging Sciences International) at 0.3 voxel and 14-bit depth settings. Twelve CBCT scans were obtained and analyzed. The radiopacity of the barium teeth was used as a control and was compared with the opacity of the 12 materials using a paired t test. A post hoc analysis of variance (ANOVA) test was used to compare the densities of the various materials with each other. RESULTS There was a statistically significant difference between the radiopacity of barium teeth (gray value: 1,959.475) and that of Modelling Wax (gray value: 750; P = .0026), Aluwax (gray value: 795.22; P = .0022), Blu-Bite CT (gray value: 1,105; P = .005), Ramitec (gray value: 1,105.3; P = .08), Memosil 2 (gray value: 1,202; P = .01) followed by Reprosil (gray value: 1,407.73; P = .01). Compared with the barium teeth, there was no statistically significant difference between the densities of Futar D (gray value: 1,866.5; P = .51), Jet Bite (gray value: 1,660.04; P = .08), Lab-Putty (gray value: 1,402.14; P = .19), and Memoreg 2 (gray value: 1,754.72; P = .1). The highest radiodensity was seen with Blu-Mousse (gray value: 2,949; P = .007) and Take 1 (gray value: 2,229.85; P = .025), which were also significantly different from the density of the barium teeth but in the opposite direction, making them more opaque. CONCLUSION Within the limitations of this in vitro study, the most radiolucent appearance of Modelling Wax, Aluwax, Memosil 2, Blu-Bite CT, and Ramitec made them the suitable materials of choice of those tested, as the interocclusal registration record during CBCT scanning allowed clear visualization of barium teeth.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Advanced education programs in orthodontics must ensure student competency in clinical skills. An objective structure clinical examination has been used in 1 program for over a decade. The results were analyzed cross-sectionally and longitudinally to provide insights regarding the achievement of competency, student growth, question difficulty, question discrimination, and question predictive ability. METHODS In this study, we analyzed 218 (82 first-year, 68 second-year, and 68 third-year classes) scores of each station from 85 orthodontic students. The grades originated from 13 stations and were collected anonymously for 12 consecutive years during the first 2 decades of the 2000s. The stations tested knowledge and skills regarding dental relationships, analyzing a cephalometric tracing, performing a diagnostic skill, identifying cephalometric points, bracket placement, placing first-order and second-order bends, forming a loop, placing accentuated third-order bends, identifying problems and planning mixed dentition treatment, identifying problems and planning adolescent dentition treatment, identifying problems and planning nongrowing skeletal treatment, superimposing cephalometric tracings, and interpreting cephalometric superimpositions. Results were evaluated using multivariate analysis of variance, chi-square tests, and latent growth analysis. RESULTS The multivariate analysis of variance showed that all stations except 3 (analyzing a cephalometric tracing, forming a loop, and identifying cephalometric points) had significantly lower mean scores for the first-year student class than the second- and third-year classes (P <0.028); scores between the second- and third-year student classes were not significantly different (P >0.108). The chi-square analysis of the distribution of the number of noncompetent item responses decreased from the first to the second years (P <0.0003), from the second to the third years (P <0.0042), and from the first to the third years (P <0.00003). The latent growth analysis showed a wide range of difficulty and discrimination between questions. It also showed continuous growth for some areas and the ability of 6 questions to predict competency at greater than the 80% level. CONCLUSIONS Objective structure clinical examinations can provide a method of evaluating student performance and curriculum impact over time, but cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses of the results may not be complementary. Significant learning appears to occur during all years of a 3-year program. Valuable questions were both easy and difficult, discriminating and not discriminating, and came from all domains: diagnostic, technical, and evaluation/synthesis.

Abstract
The mandibular condyle consists of articular cartilage and subchondral bone that play an important role in bearing loads at the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) during static occlusion and dynamic mastication. The objective of the current study was to examine effects of sex and cartilage on 1) static and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) based dynamic energy storage and dissipation for the cartilage-subchondral bone construct of the human mandibular condyle, and 2) their correlations with the tissue mineral density and trabecular morphological parameters of subchondral bone. Cartilage-subchondral bone constructs were obtained from 16 individual human cadavers (9 males, 7 females, 79.00±13.10 years). After scanning with micro-computed tomography, the specimens were subjected to a non-destructive compressive static loading up to 7N and DMA using a cyclic loading profile (-5±2N at 2Hz). After removing the cartilage from the same specimen, the series of loading experiments were repeated. Static stiffness (K) and energy dissipation (W), and dynamic storage (K'), loss (K'') stiffness, and energy dissipation (tan δ) were assessed. Gray values, which are proportional to degree of bone mineralization, and trabecular morphological parameters of the subchondral bone were also measured. After removal of the cartilage, static energy dissipation significantly decreased (p<0.009) but dynamic energy dissipation was not influenced (p>0.064). Many subchondral bone properties were significantly correlated with the overall mechanical behavior of the cartilage-subchondral bone constructs for males (p<0.047) but not females (p>0.054). However, after removal of cartilage from the constructs, all of the significant correlations were no longer found (p>0.057). The current findings indicate that the subchondral bone is responsible for bearing static and dynamic loading in males but not in females. This result indicates that the female condyle may have a mechanically disadvantageous TMJ loading environment.

Abstract
A retrospective review of intestinal transplantation (ITx) at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital was made by collecting clinical data over the past 10 years. Fifteen consecutive cases from 2004 were analyzed. Five children and 10 adults (6 months to 69 years of age) were included. Primary diseases in adults included 4 mesenteric vessel thromboses, 2 strangulations, and 1 each of visceral myopathy, malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), mesenteric lymphangiectasis, and injury. Pediatric cases involved 2 Hirschsprung disease, 2 visceral myopathy, and 1 necrotizing enterocolitis. Three of 7 stomas were closed using a serial transverse enteroplasty procedure before transplantation. The ITx were performed using 3 living-donor Itx, 12 deceased-donor ITx, 14 isolated Itx, and 1 modified multivisceral transplantation. Daclizumab, basiliximab, alemtusumab, or basiliximab with rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG) was used for the induction; tacrolimus monotherapy was used as the basic maintenance immunosuppressant; and m-TOR inhibitor was used for renal dysfunction patients. Seven cases of acute cellular rejection were treated with rATG. Three cases of antibody-mediated rejection were treated with rituximab alone or with rituximab and bortezomib combination. There were 4 cases of early mortality within 6 months after Itx. Causes of death were declamping shock, cardiac tamponade with acute cellular rejection, dysmotility, and sepsis. Surgical complications consisted of 1 feeding jejunostomy displacement, and a minor leakage at a colo-colostomy site. One-year survival of the patient and graft was 73.33% (Kaplan-Meier survival curve). Although the total number of ITx is small, its social impact has been remarkable in changing the related laws and reimbursement policy in Korea.
