Authors: Rosen PS, Froum SJ, Cohen DW Abstract This retrospective case series describes a layered regenerative approach for five Class III and one borderline Class IV furcation, involving treatment consisting of root management that included conditioning with tetracycline solution followed by the topical application of recombinant platelet-derived growth factor BB. A composite allograft with mesenchymal stem cells was subsequently placed into the furcation and covered by a barrier derived from human amnion-chorion with flaps advanced to completely cover the site. Three furcations, including the one diagnosed as Class IV, had complete closure, two were converted to Class I, and in one instance, there was no improvement. This regenerative algorithm for mandibular Class III furcations…

Conclusions The results of this investigation suggest that it is possible to average multiple facial images of highly variable topology. The immediate application of this research will be rapid and detailed diagnostic imaging analysis for orthodontic and surgical treatment planning. There is great potential for application to anthropometrics and genomics. This investigation resulted in establishment of a protocol for mapping the surface of the human face in three dimensions.

Abstract Dental practitioners will be exposed to patients experiencing neuropathic pain of the orofacial region at some point in their careers. The pain can be distressing and affect quality of life. Therefore, an understanding of the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of neuropathic orofacial pain is essential since some patients will convincingly express this pain to be originating from a dental source. Neuropathic pain may be episodic such as trigeminal neuralgias, or continuous, which includes peripheral painful trigeminal traumatic neuropathy, persistent idiopathic facial pain, neuritis, and burning mouth syndrome. Research has revealed that these various neuropathic pains often have specific treatment modalities. Hence, establishing an accurate diagnosis and un…

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play an important role during the initial process of enamel development and therefore may play a role in caries susceptibility. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between the polymorphisms in the BMP2, BMP4 and BMP7 genes and their association with caries experience and primary enamel microhardness characteristics. DNA from buccal cells as well as clinical and demographic information from 1,731 subjects from three different data sets from Brazil were included. Polymorphisms in BMP2, BMP4 and BMP7 were analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction from genomic DNA. Association between caries experience, genotype, and allele distribution in both cohorts was evaluated using #x03C7;2 and logistic regression analyses. In the family-bas…
