Inflammatory response is a protective biological process intended to eliminate the harmful effect of the insulting influx. Resolution of inflammation constitutes an active sequence of overlapping events mediated by specialized proresolving mediators, such as lipoxins, resolvins, protectins, and maresins, which originate from the enzymatic conversion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). An un...

Root resorption is a physiologic event for the primary teeth. It is still unclear whether odontoclasts, the cells which resorb the dental hard tissue, are different from the osteoclasts, the cells that resorb bone. Root resorption seems to be initiated and regulated by the stellate reticulum and the dental follicle of the underlying permanent tooth via the secretion of stimulatory molecules, i....

Although the premature tooth exfoliation (PTE) can be associated with some systemic diseases such as changes in immune system or connective tissue disorders, we didn’t find any report on this disorder and hypophosphatemic rickets. In bone metabolic disorders, there are a few reports on hypophosphatasia and PTE[1-3]. Although, some factors such as severe oral infection can predispose PTE in HR p...
