The Electrical Conductivity and Dielectric Properties of Dental Glass Ionomer Cements: In Vitro Study
Conclusion: With the progression of the setting reaction, the Glass ionomer cement changes from ionic to nonionic state, hence causing an increase in the resistivity and decrease in the conductivity and dielectric constant, which suggests that GIC acts as an insulator to thermal and galvanic currents.

Evaluation of the Association of Alveolar Bone Dimensions in Unilateral Palatally Impacted Canine: A Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Analysis
Conclusion: The lateral incisors’ lateral angulations, the inter-premolar width, and the alveolar bone thickness can be affected by palatally impacted canine teeth. However, the height of the alveolar bone and the width of the nasal cavity are not affected. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Sciences)

Gaseous Ozone Treatment Augments Chondrogenic and Osteogenic Differentiation but Impairs Adipogenic Differentiation in Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells In Vitro
Conclusion: About 10 μg/mL ozonization slightly increased the proliferation in hDPSCs and distinctly increased the differentiation potential in chondrogenic and osteogenic lineages. But decreased adipogenic differentiation. With these findings, future studies will help to explain how ozonization affects hDPSCs to enhance their potency for clinical applications.

Assessment of Inflammatory Domain on the Proliferative Activity of Odontogenic Keratocyst in Comparison with Dentigerous Cyst and Perapical Cyst
Conclusion: Considering the proportion of cycling cells relative to the expression of three markers, OKC imparts valuable information on proliferation. We speculate that the biological potential of OKC’s histopathogenesis lies within the lining epithelium, inflammatory cytokines contributing to the changes. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Sciences)

Association between Gingival Thickness and Recession in Nonperiodontitis Patients
Conclusion: It can be concluded that there were variations in GT with respect to dental arch and sextants. Gingiva was thinner in the maxillary arch and anterior sextant. Receded surfaces were considerably higher on the buccal surfaces of posterior teeth. Higher prevalence of thin biotype was found at sites with recession. Subjects with splaying or flattening of their toothbrush bristles had a higher mean recession depth when compared with other subjects. However, the association between GT and GR was not statistically significant. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Sciences)
