We report a case of a toothbrush impalement injury of the floor of the mouth in a child with autism. A 5‐year‐old boy with autism presented with an accidentally impaled toothbrush in the oral cavity. He was taken to the operation room and examined under general anesthesia. The handle of the toothbrush was cut off using rib scissors for mask ventilation, and intra‐oral intubation was performed. The toothbrush was located approximately 2.5 cm into the floor of the mouth. The toothbrush was removed uneventfully. Intravenous antibiotic therapy was instituted during hospitalization, and discharge from the hospital occur...

The objectives of this study were to analyze the effect of DNA methylation and histone modifications on IL10 gene expression, the differences in epigenetic modifications between GG and AA genotypes of the ‐1087 IL10 gene polymorphism, and the methylation pattern in the region close to the ‐1087 position. Using B cells obtained from subjects with GG and AA genotypes we demonstrated that treatment with histone deacetylase inhibitors and 5‐aza‐2‐deoxycytidine resulted in an increase in the production of IL10 mRNA. The chromatin immunoprecipitation assay revealed that stimulation with lipopolysaccharide resulted in a...

Introduction: The force application period is a modifiable factor in root resorption. There is still ambiguity if the continuity of force application is advantageous in terms of root resorption and tooth movement. In this prospective randomized clinical trial, we compared the effects of 2 reactivation periods of controlled-intermittent and continuous forces on root resorption and tooth movement. Methods: Thirty-two patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: 2 weekly and 3 weekly reactivations. A split-mouth setup was used for the intermittent and continuous force comparisons. The intermittent force was designed with a p...
