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 ...

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

An international collaboration study reveals how evolution and locomotion patterns, such as bipedalism, shaped bone structures through proteins present in the bone matrix. The findings of the study, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile—they can impact your confidence, chewing ability, and overall oral health.

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 ...

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 ...
