A dental bone graft is a procedure performed to increase the amount of bone in a part of the jaw where bone has been lost or where additional support is needed. Bone may be taken from elsewhere in the ...

In general, bone spicules are bony spurs or ledges that occur along the edges or on top of bones. Bone spurs may grow following bone damage, or after bone loss like that caused by osteoarthritis. Bone ...

A newly discovered pair of stem cell lineages drives the formation of both tooth roots and the bone that anchors them. Understanding how these cells switch roles could pave the way for regenerating ...

Bone grafting is one of the most valuable adjuncts for preserving bone and preparing for prosthetics. It is the only solution to reverse dental bone loss and is a well-accepted procedure required in 1 ...

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 ...

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

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is an inorganic mineral present in human bone and teeth. It plays a role in the structural strength of bone and in bone regeneration. While it occurs naturally in bone, healthcare ...
