Dental or generally mouth-related.

“The activation and increase in stem cells in the dental pulp causes the stem cells to form odontoblasts (specialized tooth cells) and also increases the production of dentine. This allows for cavities to be reversed.”

“Research staff for this project interview participants to collect dietary and demographic information and administer medical, dental, and laboratory tests to collect physiologic measures.”

“Perspective: Research on the effects of photobiomodulation on increasing bone mineralization or improving bone healing is very limited. It focuses primarily on dental applications, possibly because the bones of the oral cavity are only covered by thin layers of soft tissue that can be easily penetrated by the light.”

“Exposures to heavy metals in everyday products such as arsenic in agricultural products, cadmium in cigarette smoke and automobile exhaust, lead in toys, and mercury in dental amalgam and certain types of fish, are common occurrences.”

“Plaque grown with or without arginine contained similar core bacteria, mainly Streptococcus and Veillonella, which are typically found in young dental plaque. After exposure to sucrose, arginine-treated plaque stayed less acidic than untreated plaque, indicating better resistance to acid buildup.”

“Higher vitamin D levels were associated with reductions in myostatin levels and increases in leptin levels. Dental health Tooth decay – a risk factor for cavities and tooth loss – often begins as white spots on the enamel, an early sign of demineralization.”

“However, aging drives a progressive decrease in protein synthesis and reduced capacity to produce new collagen. Collagens are also highly versatile biomaterials with wide applications and usage across medical, dental, and pharmacological fields.”

“This is why certain clocks (i.e., DunedinPACE) may be useful—they were trained against long-term changes in indicators of organ-system integrity across cardiovascular, metabolic, kidney, liver, immune, dental, and pulmonary systems.”

“Dental pulp stem cells are also found in adult teeth although to a much lesser degree. Dental pulp stem cells have been shown in animal studies to differentiate into other cells types including connective tissue and neurons in the spinal cord.”
