When it comes to oral health, brushing and regular flossing do cover the basics. But when it comes to tackling more serious issues, dental procedures must be considered. You’ve probably been to the ...

In the model in which alveolar bone loss was included as a continuous variable, the results showed a 14% increase in the hazard of mortality for each one-unit increase in the mean alveolar bone loss ...

Journal reference: Tominari, T., et al. (2021) Gram-positive bacteria cell wall-derived lipoteichoic acid induces inflammatory alveolar bone loss through prostaglandin E production in osteoblasts.

Varela-López, A., et al. (2020). A Diet Rich in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol Aggravates the Effect of Bacterial Lipopolysaccharide on Alveolar Bone Loss in a Rabbit Model of Periodontal Disease ...

"The alveolar bone is different from other bone tissues due to its role in supporting the teeth," said Chad M. Novince, D.D.S., Ph.D., associate professor in the colleges of Medicine and Dental ...

“This research promotes the concept that MDSC expansion during obesity to become osteoclasts during periodontitis is tied to increased alveolar bone destruction. Taken together, this data supports the ...

The health of teeth depends upon the integrity of the alveolar bone holding them in the mouth. Periodontal disease is the major cause of alveolar bone loss and tooth loss in patients over 35.

Researchers from Tohoku University in Japan investigated if lactation affects alveolar bone loss, the bone surrounding the roots of teeth, in rat models of experimental periodontitis. They found ...

"M-MDSC expansion during obesity to become osteoclasts during periodontitis is related to increased alveolar bone destruction, providing a more detailed mechanistic appreciation of the interconnection ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Chronic inflammation caused by obesity may trigger the development of cells that break down bone tissue, including the bone that holds teeth in place, according to new University at ...
