Orthodontic tooth movement is fundamentally driven by the application of controlled mechanical forces to reposition teeth within the alveolar process. This movement is intrinsically linked to alveolar ...

This diagram illustrates the role of macrophage ATF6 in orthodontic tooth movement. When corticotomy is applied, monocytes are recruited to the bone, where they differentiate into pro-inflammatory ...

Sustained hypoxia affects orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) by altering osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation, report researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan. Hypoxic conditions resulted ...

The discovery of a family with sequence similarity 102 member A (Fam102a) protein as a novel bone remodeling factor that regulates both osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation can aid the ...

Medically reviewed by Arno Kroner, DAOM Key Takeaways Calcium from food or supplements can raise blood calcium levels ...

Tooth loss and bone degeneration are problems that modern medicine still struggles to fix. Data from the National Bone Health Policy Institute shows that 10 million Americans over the age of 50 have ...

The discomfort and stigma of loose or missing teeth could be a thing of the past as Griffith University researchers pioneer the use of 3D bioprinting to replace missing teeth and bone. The three-year ...

New Griffith University research investigated how the Nuralyte device, similar in size to an electric toothbrush, enhanced mitochondrial respiration and stimulated gene expression in bone-forming stem ...

Japanese scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in stem cell research that could revolutionize the treatment of dental loss. The recent study reveals the identification of two specific stem ...

How our bodies break down and remove old and damaged bone tissue is linked to our inner circadian clock, according to a new study from the University of Surrey and the University of Sheffield. The ...
