This study aimed to investigate whether/how the working?side condylar movement irregularity and articular spaces during chewing differ between patients with mandibular asymmetry/cross?bite and control subjects. The cross?bite group and the control group consisted of 10 adult female patients and 10 adult female subjects, respectively. They performed unilateral gum?chewing. The mandibular movements were recorded using a video?based opto?electronic system. The 3D articular surface of the TMJ for each individual was reconstructed using CT/MRI data. For local condylar points, the normalised jerk cost (NJC) towards normal direction to the condylar surface, the angle between tangential velocity vector and condylar long axis and intra?articular space were measured. Three rotatory ang…

A three-year clinical evaluation of a one-step self-etch and a two-step etch-and-rinse adhesive in non-carious cervical lesions
Conclusions: The 1-SE group was clinically as successful as the 4-ER, with both performing better than the 2-ER group. Futurabond M/Amaris can be recommended for the restoration of sclerotic non-carious cervical lesions. Clinical registration number: protocol 192/2008 (Source: Journal of Dentistry)

The Link Between Periodontitis and Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Periodontist’s Perspective
Abstract In this review, we critically evaluate the case–control studies examining the relationship between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontitis, two common chronic inflammatory diseases with a similar host-mediated pathogenesis. We review the “two-hit” periodontitis model that our group previously proposed, in which we elucidate how a systemic disease such as RA can potentially exacerbate or initiate periodontitis. Furthermore, we discuss adjunctive host modulation therapy, originally developed for periodontitis (i.e., subantimicrobial-dose doxycycline alone or in combination with an anti-inflammatory agent), to simultaneously mitigate RA and periodontitis. Finally, we review studies describing periodontal treatment effects on both RA disease activity measures and sy…

Host Responses in the Link Between Periodontitis and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Abstract Periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are common chronic inflammatory conditions and share many clinical and pathologic features. There is evidence to suggest that similar profiles of cytokine genotypes and their coding proteins are involved in the pathogenesis of periodontitis and RA. In particular, constitutive overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-?) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), has been implicated to play a pathologic role in the two inflammatory diseases. Results from studies with animal and human subjects have suggested an improvement of periodontal inflammatory condition after treatment with TNF-? inhibitors. Likewise, IL-6 receptor inhibition therapy has been suggested to have an effect on control of periodon…
