Cross-Tissue Analysis Demonstrates Oral And Systemic Link In Chronic Periodontitis, Alice Lin, Nicole Thompson, Makaylan Tseng
Excellence Day
Despite advances in dental care and oral hygiene, the prevalence of chronic periodontitis (ChP) remains high at 47.2% in the U.S. ChP not only leads to severe gum bleeding and tooth loss but also contributes to systemic diseases, including diabetes mellitus, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and cardiovascular diseases. The mechanisms of the connection between ChP and systemic health are still not fully understood. In our phase I study, we demonstrated systemic and cell-specific immune dysfunctions in patients with ChP, which can be temporarily reversed by the local treatment of ChP. For phase II study, we aim to 1) validate our findings …

The Nematode Caenorhabditis Elegans: A Convenient Model For Studying Immunology And Microbiology, William Zhao, Shrey Shah, Scott Davis, David M. Ojcius, Hung-Chi Yang
Excellence Day
Caenorhabditis elegans is a nematode that survives naturally in a variety of environments throughout the world. This nematode has been used for decades as a model system for development, cancer and aging, since it shares with humans key genes and signaling pathways that are involved in disease. In addition, this nematode is easy to maintain in the laboratory and is genetically tractable. Major discoveries relevant for human cancer, innate immunity and longevity have been made with C. elegans, but this nematode has not been used yet for studying genes or microbiota relevant for oral health. Several laboratories in the world …

Excellence Day
Objectives: To analyze condylar resorption, remodeling, and positional changes in Surgery First Approach (SFA) patients and assess correlations with cephalometric changes. The null hypothesis is that there are no significant differences in condylar changes between fixed orthodontics and Invisalign therapy post-SFA. Methods: In this retrospective observational longitudinal study, all patients were Class III and underwent SFA with mandibular setback and maxillary advancement. CBCTs were analyzed at initial (T1), post-surgery (T2), and final orthodontic treatment (T3) using 3D landmark identification. Twenty-eight patients received fixed orthodontic appliance treatment, and eighteen received Invisalign treatment. Regional superimposition analyzed condylar resorption, remodeling, and positional changes. …

Harvesting Nature's Cellular Messengers: Extraction And Isolation Of Plant Nanovesicles For Biomedical Applications, Yuchen Xie, Prasama Neelakantan, Benjamin Zeitlin
Excellence Day
Plant cells produce nanometer-sized vesicles for cellular communication, bioactive molecule transport, and modulation of the plant immune response. Extracellular nanovesicles contain proteins, RNA, and other molecules. It has been demonstrated that plant nanovesicles exert bioactive effects on human cells. Anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and tissue regenerative properties are significant to dentistry. Other groups have used mechanically disruptive methods to isolate plant nanovesicles. We aim to develop an isolation method for these nanoparticles from various fruits which preserves their structure and function towards their use in cell culture studies aimed at understanding the health benefits of plant nanovesicles in dental treatment and as …

Frankincense (Boswellia Serrata) Extract Effects On Growth And Biofilm Formation Of Porphyromonas Gingivalis, And Its Intracellular Infection In Hujman Gingival Epithelial Cells, Nicholas Zusman
Excellence Day
Traditional antibiotics have been commonly used to treat several infectious diseases for decades, however, misuse and over-prescription have been escalating antibiotic resistance episodes. Boswellia serrata extract, derived from Boswellia trees prevalent in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, offers multifaceted therapeutic benefits, including anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial effects. Periodontitis affects 20-50% of the global population, targeting the gingival tissues, supporting structures around teeth, and the alveolar bone. Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum are two prominent bacterial culprits in this pathogenesis. This study investigated the potential antimicrobial effects of B. serrata extracts against P. gingivalis and F. nucleatum. Using minimum inhibitory …

Breastfeeding Of Infants With Cleft Lip And Palate, Aarthy Musuwathi Gunasekaran, Shaila Patel, Marie Tolarova
Excellence Day
OBJECTIVE: Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL±P) is one of the most common and most serious congenital anomalies. The birth prevalence of CL±P (non-syndromic and syndromic) varies from 1 in 500 to 1 in 1000 births. Breastfeeding is recognized as the gold standard of infant nutrition that benefits both mother and infant. Cleft, however, presents a serious obstacle to it. In cleft lip, orbicularis oris muscle prevents a seal of the baby’s mouth to breast and cleft palate does not allow negative pressure needed for sucking. We explored obstacles of breastfeeding in infants with CL±P and recommendations of …

Classification Of Immune Landscapes In Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Nicole Thompson
Excellence Day
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is an aggressive cancer with a high mortality rate. Prognostic biomarkers from the tumor immune microenviroment (TIME) are needed to determine treatment plans. We hypothesized that imaging mass cytometry (IMC) would reveal distinct TIME characteristics associated with histopathological grades. A 40-plex IMC, covering markers for tumor structure, multiple immune cells, and their signaling activity, was used to investigate the TIMEs of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) incisional oral tongue biopsies. These biopsies were sourced from 24 OSCC patients at the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, and contained 13 well-differentiated, 10 moderately differentiated, …

Exploring The Potential Of Periodontitis Vaccines: A Comprehensive Review And Analysis, Jenny Choi, Lena Nguyen
Excellence Day
P. gingivalis, a prevalent bacteria in the oral cavity of patients with active periodontitis, presents a persistent challenge. Patients often receive root debridement therapy to manage disease progression, however, it merely addresses symptoms without curing or reversing the condition. Therefore, there is a pressing need for more sophisticated therapeutic approaches, such as vaccination, targeting the pathogen directly. Although comprehensive research involving human clinical trials are pending, the aim of this invention is to introduce specific antigens of periodontitis to stimulate the targeted antibodies. The periodontitis vaccine has the potential to become a supplement to mechanical therapy. The comprehensive literature review …
