This animal study evaluated α-mangostin and hyperbaric oxygen therapy after orthodontic retraction. The combination enhanced bone regeneration by increasing VEGF, FGF-2, ALP, and balancing MMP-8, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. Findings suggest both therapies, especially combined, positively support alveolar bone remodeling.

This animal study examined hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and Myrmecodia pendans extract in orthodontic tooth movement. The combination enhanced tooth movement, increased osteoclast activity, regulated osteoblasts, and optimized TNF-α and TGF-β gene expression. Findings suggest both therapies, especially together, effectively accelerate orthodontic tooth movement.

This study developed and tested a carbonate apatite–bovine gelatin (CA-BG) scaffold for endodontic regeneration. Characterization showed good biocompatibility, bioactivity, and structural support, with the L/P 1 ratio scaffold being the most optimal for promoting dentin and pulp regeneration. The findings highlight CA-BG as a promising scaffold for dental tissue engineering. Read full paper : https://doi.org/10.1055/s-0045-1809306

This bibliometric study analyzed 351 publications (1998–2024) on artificial intelligence (AI) in oral cancer research. Results show rapid growth in publications and citations, reflecting AI’s rising impact in data analysis, prediction, and decision-making. The findings guide future integration of AI into oral oncology.

This review and meta-analysis examined 3D imaging and AI-assisted methods for diagnosing mandibular condyle fractures. Findings show AI and 3D CT improve accuracy and efficiency over traditional X-rays, especially for complex cases. While AI shows high prediction accuracy, further multicenter studies are needed for broader clinical validation and application.

This study shows that intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) boosts mandibular bone regeneration in rats by increasing HIF-1α and VEGF expression, enhancing osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and bone microarchitecture. IHH may be a promising non-invasive strategy for repairing mandibular bone defects.

This study successfully synthesized oleic acid-coated Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (11–37 nm) with stable dispersibility and superparamagnetic properties. The coating improved surface interactions without altering crystal structure, making them promising for biomedical uses such as targeted drug delivery.

This study analyzed national health data from 16,973 Indonesians to identify predictors of tooth loss in middle-aged and elderly populations. Tooth loss was strongly associated with age, occupation, diabetes, and heart disease. The model showed high predictive accuracy, indicating these factors can effectively predict tooth loss risk for prevention efforts.

This study examined 104 parents of children with intellectual disabilities in Bandung to explore the link between parenting stress and oral health care. Most parents reported moderate stress, average education, and sufficient knowledge and attitudes. Results showed that higher parenting stress was significantly related to parents’ education, knowledge, and attitudes about maintaining their children’s oral

This systematic review of 21 RCTs (1244 participants) found that curcumin is effective in treating various oral diseases, especially oral submucous fibrosis. It reduces lesion severity, pain, and size through anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antifungal, wound-healing, and collagenase-inhibiting properties.
