RESUMO
Introduction: This research paper investigates whether robotic total knee replacement (TKR) reduces bone resection compared to conventional TKR. While TKR is a successful procedure, revision surgery remains a challenge with up to 8.3% of all knee replacement procedures requiring revisions. Materials and methods: The study retrospectively analyzed the tibial polyethylene inserts used and bone cuts made in 157 primary TKRs performed by a single surgeon. The results show that 93.3% of robotic TKRs used the base size tibial polyethylene of 9 mm, and the average distal femoral cut was 7.4 mm and the average tibial cut was 6.4 mm, with the minimum being 3 mm. Conclusion: The study suggests that robotic TKR reduces bone resection compared to conventional TKR.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Excessive osteoclastogenesis is a key driver of inflammatory bone loss. Suppressing osteoclastogenesis has always been considered essential for the treatment of inflammatory bone loss. N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) is the sole enzyme responsible for N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) modification of mRNA, and is involved in cell development. However, its role in osteoclastogenesis and inflammatory bone loss remained elusive. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to clarify the regulatory mechanism of NAT10 and ac4C modification in osteoclastogenesis and inflammatory bone loss. METHODS: NAT10 expression and ac4C modification during osteoclastogenesis were determined by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), western blotting, dot blot and immunofluorescent staining, and the effect of NAT10 inhibition on osteoclast differentiation in vitro was measured by the tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining, podosome belts staining assay and bone resorption pit assay. Then, acRIP-qPCR and NAT10RIP-qPCR, ac4C site prediction, mRNA decay assay and luciferase reporter assay were performed to further study the underlying mechanisms. At last, mice models of inflammatory bone loss were applied to verify the therapeutic effect of NAT10 inhibition in vivo. RESULTS: NAT10 expression was upregulated during osteoclast differentiation and highly expressed in alveolar bone osteoclasts from periodontitis mice. Inhibition of NAT10 notably reduced osteoclast differentiation in vitro, as indicated by great reduction of tartrated resistant acid phosphatse positive multinuclear cells, osteoclast-specific gene expression, F-actin ring formation and bone resorption capacity. Mechanistically, NAT10 catalyzed ac4C modification of Fos (encoding AP-1 component c-Fos) mRNA and maintained its stabilization. Besides, NAT10 promoted MAPK signaling pathway and thereby activated AP-1 (c-Fos/c-Jun) transcription for osteoclastogenesis. Therapeutically, administration of Remodelin, the specific inhibitor of NAT10, remarkably impeded the ligature-induced alveolar bone loss and lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory calvarial osteolysis. CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrated that NAT10-mediated ac4C modification is an important epigenetic regulation of osteoclast differentiation and proposed a promising therapeutic target for inflammatory bone loss.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: To retrospectively evaluate peri-implant bone loss and health status associated with the long-term use of laser surface-treated implants. METHODS: For control study, total of 23 titanium ASTM F136 grade 23 implants were placed in the edentulous molar area of the mandible. When the Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) ≥ 70 and insertion torque value (ITV) ≥ 35-50 Ncm at the insertion site, an immediate provisional restoration was connected to the implant within a week after surgery. The definitive restorations were placed 2 months after surgery for all implants. 13 implants were immediately loaded, while 10 implants were conventionally loaded. For comparative study, Radiographs were taken from third years for and then annually for the subsequent eight years to monitor marginal bone loss. RESULTS: After eight year of implant installation, the average change in vertical bone loss was 0.009 mm (P < 0.001), while the average change in horizontal bone loss 8 year after implant placement was 0.026 mm (P < 0.001). The mean marginal bone loss was < 0.2 mm on average. CONCLUSIONS: In this retrospective study, laser-treated implants exhibit a low rate of bone absorption around the implants.

BACKGROUND: Augmented baseplates can be effective at addressing eccentric glenoid wear in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA). However, these implants often come in a limited number of predetermined shapes that require additional reaming to ensure adequate glenoid seating. This typically involves complex instrumentation and can have a negative impact on implant stability. Modular baseplate augmentation based on intra-operative measurements may allow for more precise defect filling while preserving glenoid bone. The purpose of this investigation was to assess the stability of a novel ringed baseplate with modular augmentation in comparison to non-augmented standard and ringed baseplate designs. METHODS: In this biomechanical study, baseplate micromotion was tested for three constructs according to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) guidelines. The constructs included a non-augmented curved baseplate, a non-augmented ringed baseplate and ringed baseplate with an 8 mm locking modular augmentation peg. The non-augmented constructs were mounted flush onto polyurethane (PU) foam blocks, while the augmented baseplate was mounted on a PU block with a simulated defect. Baseplate displacement was measured prior to and after 100,000 cycles of cyclic loading. RESULTS: Prior to cyclic loading, the non-augmented and augmented ringed baseplates both demonstrated significantly less micromotion than the non-augmented curved baseplate design (81.1 µm vs 97.2 µm vs 152.7 µm; p=0.009). After cyclic loading, both ringed constructs continued to have significantly less micromotion compared to the curved design (105.5 µm vs 103.2 µm vs 136.6 µm; p<0.001). The micromotion for both ringed constructs remained below the minimum threshold required for bony ingrowth (150 µm) at all time points. CONCLUSION: In the setting of a simulated glenoid defect, locked modular augmentation of a ringed baseplate does not result in increased baseplate micromotion when compared to full contact, non-augmented baseplates. This design offers a simple method for tailored baseplate augmentation that can match specific variations in glenoid anatomy, limiting the need for excessive reaming and ultimately optimizing the environment for long term implant stability. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Basic Science Study; Biomechanics.
RESUMO
AIM: To describe the microbiological composition of subgingival dental plaque and molecular profile of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of periodontal furcation-involved defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-seven participants with periodontitis contributed with a degree II-III furcation involvement (FI), a non-furcation (NF) periodontal defect and a periodontally healthy site (HS). Subgingival plaque was analysed by sequencing the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene, and a multiplex bead immunoassay was carried out to estimate the GCF levels of 18 GCF biomarkers. Aiming to explore inherent patterns and the intrinsic structure of data, an AI-clustering method was also applied. RESULTS: In total, 171 subgingival plaque and 84 GCF samples were analysed. Four microbiome clusters were identified and associated with FI, NF and HS. A reduced aerobic microbiota (p = .01) was detected in FI compared with NF; IL-6, MMP-3, MMP-8, BMP-2, SOST, EGF and TIMP-1 levels were increased in the GCF of FI compared with NF. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to profile periodontal furcation defects from a microbiological and inflammatory standpoint using conventional and AI-based analyses. A reduced aerobic microbial biofilm and an increase of several inflammatory, connective tissue degradation and repair markers were detected compared with other periodontal defects.
RESUMO
Aim: Breast cancer and its metastases involve high mortality even with advances in chemotherapy. Solid lipid nanoparticles provide a platform for drug delivery, reducing side effects and treatment-induced bone loss. A solid nanoparticle containing doxorubicin was evaluated for its ability to prevent bone loss in a pre-clinical breast cancer model. Methods: We investigated the effects of SLNDox in an aggressive metastatic stage IV breast cancer model, which has some important features that are interesting for bone loss investigation. This study evaluates bone loss prevention potential from solid lipid nanoparticles containing doxorubicin breast cancer treatment, an evaluation of the attenuation of morphological changes in bone tissue caused by the treatment and the disease and an assessment of bone loss imaging using computed tomography and electron microscopy. Results: Chemotherapy-induced bone loss was also observed in tumor-free animals; a solid lipid nanoparticle containing doxorubicin prevented damage to the growth plate and to compact and cancellous bones in the femur of tumor-bearing and healthy animals. Conclusion: The association of solid lipid nanoparticles with chemotherapeutic drugs with proven efficacy promotes the prevention of serious consequences of chemotherapy, reducing tumor progression, increasing quality of life and improving prognosis and survival.

RESUMO
The sequalae of periodontitis include irreversible degradation of tooth-supporting structures and circulatory spread of inflammatory mediators. However, the serum protein profile in periodontitis is not well described, which is partly attributable to the limited number of studies based on large and well-characterized periodontitis cohorts. This study aims to identify novel, circulating inflammation-related proteins associated with periodontitis within the PerioGene North case-control study, which includes 478 cases with severe periodontitis and 509 periodontally healthy controls. The serum concentrations of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and a panel of 45 inflammation-related proteins were analyzed using targeted proteomics. A distinguishable serum protein profile was evident in periodontitis cases. The protein pattern could separate cases from controls with a sensitivity of 0.81 and specificity of 0.81 (area under the curve = 0.87). Adjusted levels for hs-CRP and 24 of the 45 proteins were different between cases and controls. High levels of hs-CRP and matrix metalloproteinase-12, and low levels of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 (OLR-1) were detected among the cases. Furthermore, the levels of C-C motif chemokine-19, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-3 (CSF-3), interleukin-7 (IL-7), and hs-CRP were significantly higher in cases with a high degree of gingival inflammation. The levels of CSF-3 and tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member-10 TNFSF-10 were higher in cases with many deep periodontal pockets. The PerioGene North study includes detailed clinical periodontal data and uncovers a distinct serum protein profile in periodontitis. The findings of lower EGF and OLR-1 among the cases are highlighted, as this has not been presented before. The role of EGF and OLR-1 in periodontitis pathogenesis and as possible future biomarkers should be further explored.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The Latarjet procedure is increasingly being utilized for the treatment of glenoid bone loss and has a relatively high neurological complication rate. Understanding the position-dependent anatomy of the axillary nerve (AN) is crucial to preventing injuries. PURPOSE: To quantify the effects of changes in the shoulder position and degree of glenoid bone loss during the Latarjet procedure on the position of the AN. STUDY DESIGN: Controlled laboratory study. METHODS: A total of 10 cadaveric shoulders were dissected, leaving the tendons of the rotator cuff and deltoid for muscle loading. The 3-dimensional position of the AN was quantified relative to the inferior glenoid under 3 conditions: (1) intact shoulder, (2) Latarjet procedure with 15% bone loss, and (3) Latarjet procedure with 30% bone loss. Measurements were obtained at 0°, 30°, and 60° of glenohumeral abduction (equivalent to 0°, 45°, and 90° of shoulder abduction) and at 0°, 45°, and 90° of humeral external rotation (ER). RESULTS: Abduction of the shoulder to 60° resulted in a posterior (9.5 ± 1.1 mm; P < .001), superior (3.0 ± 1.2 mm; P = .013), and lateral (19.1 ± 2.3 mm; P < .001) shift of the AN, and ER to 90° resulted in anterior translation (10.0 ± 1.2 mm; P < .001). Overall, ER increased the minimum AN-glenoid distance at 30° of abduction (14.9 ± 1.3 mm [0° of ER] vs 17.3 ± 1.5 mm [90° of ER]; P = .045). The Latarjet procedure with both 15 and 30% glenoid bone loss resulted in a superior and medial shift of the AN relative to the intact state. A decreased minimum AN-glenoid distance was seen after the Latarjet procedure with 30% bone loss at 60° abduction and 90° ER (17.7 ± 1.6 mm [intact] vs 13.9 ± 1.6 mm [30% bone loss]; P = .007), but no significant differences were seen after the Latarjet procedure with 15% bone loss. CONCLUSION: Abduction of the shoulder induced a superior, lateral, and posterior shift of the AN, and ER caused anterior translation. Interestingly, the Latarjet procedure, when performed on shoulders with extensive glenoid bone loss, significantly reduced the minimum AN-glenoid distance during shoulder abduction and ER. These novel findings imply that patients with substantial glenoid bone loss may be at a higher risk of AN injuries during critical portions of the procedure. Consequently, it is imperative that surgeons account for alterations in nerve anatomy during revision procedures. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study attempts to improve understanding of the position-dependent effect of shoulder position and glenoid bone loss after the Latarjet procedure on AN anatomy. Improved knowledge of AN anatomy is crucial to preventing potentially devastating AN injuries during the Latarjet procedure.

PURPOSE: This two-arm parallel randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate and compare periodontal changes due to rapid maxillary expansion (RME) using tooth-bone-borne and tooth-borne devices in growing patients via clinical examinations and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-two eligible patients (aged 11-14 years; transverse maxillary deficiency, posterior crossbite) were screened and divided into two groups based on the treatment received (randomization was performed using computer-generated numeric sequences): hybrid hyrax tooth-bone-borne group (TBB) and hyrax tooth-borne group (TB). The primary outcome was the change in cortical bone thickness (by CBCT). In addition, the clinical attachment level (CAL), gingival recession, and bleeding were assessed. Both examinations were performed before and 3 months after the activation phase. Intergroup comparisons were performed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA; Pâ¯< 0.05). RESULTS: Twenty-one patients (12 girls and 9 boys; mean initial age, 13.3 years) were included in the TBB group and 21 (5 girls and 16 boys; mean initial age, 13.2 years) were included in the TB group. The TB group exhibited a decrease in buccal bone thickness in the first premolars and first molars at all three evaluated levels. Specifically, tooth 14 at 3â¯mm from the enamel-cement junction showed a significant width reduction (0.7â¯mm; pâ¯< 0.001), accompanied by a notable increase in palatal cortical thickness at 6â¯mm of enamel-cement junction (1.13â¯mm; pâ¯< 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: RME resulted in buccal bone thickness reduction at the first premolar with hyrax treatment. In the molar region, both devices resulted in cortical bone alterations that were less pronounced in the TBB group.
RESUMO
Until recently, research on the pathogenesis and treatment of osteoporosis and sarcopenia has primarily focused on local and systemic humoral mechanisms, often overlooking neuronal mechanisms. However, there is a growing body of literature on the neuronal regulation of bone and skeletal muscle structure and function, which may provide insights into the pathogenesis of osteosarcopenia. This review aims to integrate these neuronal regulatory mechanisms to form a comprehensive understanding and inspire future research that could uncover novel strategies for preventing and treating osteosarcopenia. Specifically, the review explores the functional adaptation of weight-bearing bone to mechanical loading throughout evolutionary development, from Wolff's law and Frost's mechanostat theory to the mosaic hypothesis, which emphasizes neuronal regulation. The recently introduced bone osteoregulation reflex points to the importance of the osteocytic mechanoreceptive network as a receptor in this neuronal regulation mechanism. Finally, the review focuses on the bone myoregulation reflex, which is known as a mechanism by which bone loading regulates muscle functions neuronally. Considering the ageing-related regressive changes in the nerve fibres that provide both structural and functional regulation in bone and skeletal muscle tissue and the bone and muscle tissues they innervate, it is suggested that neuronal mechanisms might play a central role in explaining osteosarcopenia in older adults.
RESUMO
The stability of the glenohumeral joint, known for its remarkable mobility, relies on several factors, including the congruency of the joint's bones and the integrity of capsulolabral structures, encompassing the labrum, the capsule, and the glenohumeral ligaments. In cases of anterior shoulder instability, bone lesions are a common occurrence, most frequently involving glenoid bone loss and Hill-Sachs lesions. When both glenoid and humeral bone lesions coexist, the isolated Bankart procedure has exhibited a significant rate of failure. In such instances, the Latarjet procedure, especially when bone loss is present, retains its position as the gold standard, thanks to its consistent success in both short- and long-term outcomes. Recent advancements in research have explored alternative strategies to address bone loss, including the Remplissage procedure for humeral bone deficits and the use of bone block grafts to manage glenoid bone lesions, with a focus on achieving more anatomical techniques. However, it's crucial to recognize that, beyond bone loss, a multitude of intrinsic and extrinsic factors come into play when determining the most suitable treatment. The patient's profile, including factors like constitutional laxity and activity level, must be carefully considered in the decision-making process. The Latarjet procedure maintains its esteemed status as a benchmark in the field, thanks to its consistent excellence in both short- and long-term results. This article seeks to provide insights into the roles and placement of various surgical techniques within the context of chronic anterior shoulder instability, taking into account the intricate interplay of factors that influence treatment decisions.
RESUMO
Posterior shoulder instability is an increasingly recognized phenomenon and comprises approximately 5% of all shoulder instability cases. Posterior shoulder instability presents a complex clinical challenge, particularly when associated with bone loss. Bone loss may be present in up to 25% of patients with posterior shoulder instability. Understanding its etiology, diagnosis, and treatment options is crucial for optimal patient outcomes. Young athletic individuals, especially football linemen and throwing athletes, are commonly affected, with symptoms ranging from insidious onset pain to noticeable changes in athletic performance. History, physical examination, and imaging, including radiographs and advanced three-dimensional imaging, play pivotal roles in diagnosis, with specific tests like the Jerk, Kim, and load and shift tests aiding in provocation. Posterior glenoid bone loss (pGBL), whether dysplastic, attritional, or acute, significantly impacts management decisions. When pGBL exceeds critical thresholds, soft tissue repair alone may be insufficient, necessitating glenoid reconstruction with bone block procedures. Both iliac crest autograft and distal tibial allograft (DTA) offer viable options, with considerations including donor site morbidity and graft integration. Surgical techniques for reverse Hill-Sachs lesions vary from subscapularis transfers to arthroscopic balloon osteoplasty, each aiming to restore native anatomy and prevent engagement. Bipolar bone loss, involving both glenoid and humeral head defects, presents additional challenges and may require combined soft tissue and bony procedures. Quantifying bone loss and understanding its implications are essential for surgical planning. While various techniques show promise, further research is needed to elucidate their long-term outcomes and refine treatment algorithms for posterior shoulder instability with bone loss.
RESUMO
Background and Objective: Knee replacement following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction can be demanding due to altered anatomy, soft tissue scars, bone loss, extensor mechanism complications, and knee instability. This narrative review summarizes the strategies and approaches to managing operative challenges in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) following ACL reconstruction. Methods: Studies reporting outcomes of patients who underwent TKA after ACL reconstruction were retrieved and assessed to be included in this review that synthesizes the available evidence highlighting the pitfalls encountered during surgery, the intraoperative challenges posed by ligament balancing and exposure, and the leading role of modular and retained implants. Key Content and Findings: TKA following ACL reconstruction has a high rate of intra-operative complications such as instability, bone loss, difficult exposure and demanding soft tissue balancing, representing a revision surgery rather than routine primary knee arthroplasty and a revision-oriented skill set and modular components are recommended to significantly optimize both surgical strategy and patient outcomes. With a rising incidence of ACL injuries and growing reconstructions, anticipating an increase in TKA procedures, this review aims to provide a call for rethinking clinical approaches to ensure effective and patient-centric care. Conclusions: This narrative review seems to indicate that TKA after ACL reconstruction should be considered as revision surgery and modular components should be used. However, future prospective and high-quality studies are required to better clarify risk factors and give strong recommendations for this complex surgery.
RESUMO
Background: Fusobacterium nucleatum, a pathobiont in periodontal disease, contributes to alveolar bone destruction. We assessed the efficacy of a new targeted antimicrobial, FP-100, in eradicating F. nucleatum from the oral microbial community in vitro and in vivo and evaluated its effectiveness in reducing bone loss in a mouse periodontitis model. Methods: A multispecies bacterial community was cultured and treated with two concentrations of FP-100 over two days. Microbial profiles were examined at 24-h intervals using 16S rRNA sequencing. A ligature-induced periodontitis mouse model was employed to test FP-100 in vivo. Results: FP-100 significantly reduced Fusobacterium spp. within the in vitro community (p < 0.05) without altering microbial diversity at a 2 µM concentration. In mice, cultivable F. nucleatum was undetectable in FP-100-treated ligatures but persistent in controls. Beta diversity plots showed distinct microbial structures between treated and control mice. Alveolar bone loss was significantly reduced in the FP-100 group (p = 0.018), with concurrent decreases in gingival IL-1ß and TNF-α expression (p = 0.052 and 0.018, respectively). Conclusion: FP-100 effectively eliminates F. nucleatum from oral microbiota and significantly reduces bone loss in a mouse periodontitis model, demonstrating its potential as a targeted therapeutic agent for periodontal disease.
FP-100 eliminates F. nucleatum from an in vitro multispecies microbial community at low doses without affecting bacterial diversity. FP-100 treatment leads to the in vivo elimination of F. nucleatum, reducing alveolar bone loss and levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the gingiva. FP-100 is a new antimicrobial to target F. nucleatum-mediated periodontal disease.
RESUMO
Bone transplant with osteopromotive elements - such as herbal extracts - that promote the creation of new boneis of interest to dentists. Hence, we compared the bone loss around dental implants while placing platelet rich fibrin (PRF) scaffold alone and PRF scaffold with simvastatin (SIM) and PRF scaffold with Moringaoleifera (MO). There were thirty six patients total. A total of 36 implants, or twelve implants in all three categories, were the estimated sample size. Category 1: PRF scaffolds alone. Category 2: PRF scaffolds with SIM. Category 3: PRF scaffolds with MO. Alteration in the bones were measured with CBCT. It was observed that there was decreased loss of crestal bone in PRF+ SIM and PRF+MO as compared to PRF alone. The use of herbal osteopromotive agents like simvastitin and Moringaoleifera along with PRF scaffolds can be effective in reducing bone loss around dental implants.
RESUMO
Still, a major focus of research in implantology is how crown height and width affect marginal bone loss (MBL) and the long-term durability of dental implants. Maximizing the success of implants and lowering problems depends on an awareness of these elements. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, this systematic review searched pertinent studies across several databases using keywords unique to databases. Studies on MBL and long-term implant stability evaluated in the review included those on crown height and width, horizontal and vertical cantilevers, and prosthesis dimensions. In the chosen studies, we found that both implant success and crestal bone loss were greatly influenced by crown height and width. Particularly in the posterior sections, horizontal cantilevers were connected to both increasing MBL and mechanical problems. Vertical cantilevers also affected MBL; however, their impacts were more obvious in circumstances with greater crown heights. Greater prosthesis widths, especially in the mandibular molar area, were linked to higher MBL. Bone density and insertion torque (IT) were the main determinants of MBL, more than the primary implant stability quotient. Early MBL was influenced by abutment height, mucosal thickness, and implant insertion depth; bone levels stabilized six months later. Short implants allow single crowns to be supported, but in some cases, a higher failure rate was seen. The success and stability of dental implants were found to be mostly dependent on crown height, width, and cantilever design. MBL and long-term stability are greatly influenced by horizontal and vertical cantilevers, which calls for careful design and planning. With specific care for bone density, IT, and early MBL stabilization, both short and standard implants can produce equivalent results. These results highlight the need for customized treatment plans to maximize implant success and lifetime.
RESUMO
Hyperactive osteoclasts and hypoactive osteoblasts usually result in osteolytic conditions such as estrogen-deficiency bone loss. Few natural compounds that both attenuating bone resorption and enhancing bone formation could exert effects on this imbalance. 5-Deoxycajanin (5-D), an isoflavonoid extracted from Cajan leaf with estrogen-like properties, were found to have beneficial pharmacological effects on rebalancing the activities of osteoclasts and osteoblasts. This study revealed that 5-D at the same concentration could inhibit osteoclastogenesis of BMMs and promoted osteoblast differentiation of BMSCs. 5-D not only attenuated the fluorescent formation of RANKL-induced F-actin belts and NFATc1, but also activated ALP and RUNX2 expressions. As to downstream factor expressions, 5-D could block osteoclast-specific genes and proteins including NFATc1 and CTSK, while increased osteogenic genes and proteins including OPG and OCN, as confirmed by Real-time PCR and Western Blotting. Additionally, the network pharmacology and molecular docking identified the involvement of 5-D in the MIF and MAPK signaling pathways and the stable binding between 5-D and MAPK2K1. Further Western blot studies showed that 5-D decreased the phosphorylation of p38 and ERK in osteoclasts, but promoted these phosphorylations in osteoblasts. In a female C57BL/6J mouse model of estrogen deficiency-induced bone loss, 5-D demonstrated efficacy in enhancing BMD through attenuating osteoclast activities and promoting osteogenesis. These results underscore the potential application of 5-D on treating osteolysis resulting from hyperactive osteoclasts and hypoactive osteoblasts, shedding light on modulating osteoclast-osteoblast homeostasis.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: The aim of this long-term cohort study in periodontally compromised patients with implants was to analyze the correlation between gingival phenotype and peri-implant crestal bone loss, and between clinical measures and gingival phenotype. METHODS: Implant-supported single crowns and bridges were used to rehabilitate 162 implants in 57 patients. Patients were examined over a 2 to 20-year period on a recall schedule of 3 to 6 months. In addition to recording clinical parameters, intraoral radiographs were taken at baseline (immediately after superstructure insertion) and at 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20 years. Patients were differentiated into phenotype 1 with thin, scalloped gingiva and narrow attached gingiva (n = 19), phenotype 2 with thick, flat gingiva and wide attached gingiva (n = 23), or phenotyp 3 with thick, scalloped gingiva and narrow attached gingiva (n = 15). RESULTS: The mean peri-implant crestal bone loss during the first 12 months was 1.3 ± 0.7 mm. Patients with gingival phenotype 1 had a significantly greater rate of increased crestal bone loss at implants (p = 0.016). No significant differences were present in subsequent years. The prevalence of mucositis at all implants was 27.2%, and the prevalence of peri-implantitis 9.3%. Univariate analyses indicated a significantly higher peri-implantitis risk in patients with gingival phenotype 2 (p-OR = 0.001; p-OR = 0.020). The implants of patients with phenotype 2 had significantly greater probing depths (1st year p < 0.001; 3rd year p = 0.016; 10th year p = 0.027; 15th year p < 0.001). Patients with gingival phenotype 3 showed no significantly increased probing depths, signs of inflammation and crestal bone loss. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with a gingival phenotype 1 have greater crestal bone loss at implants during the first year of functional loading. Patients with gingival phenotype 2 had significantly greater probing depth at implants and risk of peri-implantitis.

Periodontal disease is a significant global oral health problem. Radiographic staging is critical in determining periodontitis severity and treatment requirements. This study aims to automatically stage periodontal bone loss using a deep learning approach using bite-wing images. A total of 1752 bite-wing images were used for the study. Radiological examinations were classified into 4 groups. Healthy (normal), no bone loss; stage I (mild destruction), bone loss in the coronal third (< 15%); stage II (moderate destruction), bone loss is in the coronal third and from 15 to 33% (15-33%); stage III-IV (severe destruction), bone loss extending from the middle third to the apical third with furcation destruction (> 33%). All images were converted to 512 × 400 dimensions using bilinear interpolation. The data was divided into 80% training validation and 20% testing. The classification module of the YOLOv8 deep learning model was used for the artificial intelligence-based classification of the images. Based on four class results, it was trained using fivefold cross-validation after transfer learning and fine tuning. After the training, 20% of test data, which the system had never seen, were analyzed using the artificial intelligence weights obtained in each cross-validation. Training and test results were calculated with average accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score performance metrics. Test images were analyzed with Eigen-CAM explainability heat maps. In the classification of bite-wing images as healthy, mild destruction, moderate destruction, and severe destruction, training performance results were 86.100% accuracy, 84.790% precision, 82.350% recall, and 84.411% F1-score, and test performance results were 83.446% accuracy, 81.742% precision, 80.883% recall, and 81.090% F1-score. The deep learning model gave successful results in staging periodontal bone loss in bite-wing images. Classification scores were relatively high for normal (no bone loss) and severe bone loss in bite-wing images, as they are more clearly visible than mild and moderate damage.
RESUMO
Background: Posterior glenoid bone loss in glenohumeral osteoarthritis poses significant challenges in shoulder arthroplasty. Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) with a humeral head autograft to address the glenoid bone deficiency is an option for these difficult cases. Variable results with this procedure are reported in the literature. This article describes the surgical technique of posterior glenoid bone grafting in TSA using a glenoid implant with hybrid fixation and a series of reported patient functional and radiographic outcomes. Methods: A retrospective chart review of cases from 2015 to 2020 by a single surgeon revealed 10 patients who underwent primary TSA with hybrid glenoid component and posterior glenoid bone grafting. Preoperative and postoperative radiographs were assessed for glenoid inclination, glenoid version, acromiohumeral distance, humeral stem status, and glenoid implant status. Functional outcomes were evaluated by range of motion, strength, and patient-reported clinical outcomes (pain and function on a visual analog scale, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score). Complications and reoperations were also evaluated. Results: Average follow-up was 31.4 months, active forward flexion and external rotation improved on average from 105° to 150° and 20° to 60°, respectively (P < .001) and average abduction improved from 100° to 140° (P < .002). At an average of 26.7 months, patients reported assessments (visual analog scale pain and function, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores) reveal significant (P < .05) improvement in pain and functional outcomes. Radiographically, at 23.0 ± 20.1 months, all patients demonstrated a well-fixed humeral and glenoid component without evidence of lucent lines. The bone graft used in each patient was well unionized and no radiographic complications were reported. No patients underwent revision surgery, and there was one clinical complication reported, which consisted of a suspected rotator cuff injury at follow-up. Conclusion: Hybrid fixation with structural glenoid bone grafting in TSA resulted in excellent outcomes with no evidence of graft or component failure on follow-up radiographs and significantly reduced pain, improved functional scores, and improved active range of motion.
