Dear friends of ICOSIM and jawbone osteoimmunology,

After the summer break with fresh forces: New and interesting in jawbone osteoimmunology!!

 

1. The call for VitD? Cure or fake?

 

Who doesn’t know it: The loud call for VitD? Under the title “Cancer Mortality” is a press release from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ). (Editor: Marc Fröhling) to read that according to the current study situation, vitamin D intake is associated with a reduced cancer mortality.

Are we all taking VitD now and fighting cancer!? Upon closer inspection, the DKFZ researchers found significantly lower serum levels of the pro-inflammatory tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) and interleukin 6 and CRP in study participants under VitD substitution. Problem for us ICOSM members:

Exactly TNF alpha, IL-6 and CRP play no role according to our research in the osteoimmunology of the jawbone: All three are extremely under-expressed and therefore not a necessary target for VitD substitution as our research with IMD-Berlin shows:

On the contrary, it turns out: Since an initial activation of TNF alpha, IL-6 is essential for wound healing of an FDOK, the anti-inflammatory VitD further suppresses the osteoimmunological activation of osteoneogenesis of an FDOK.

Quintessence:

The importance of VitD remains of course. But a blanket high-dose therapy regimen for bone healing in the jaw in FDOK and implantation should be approached with due caution.

P.S. See also our publication : (Read here)

Lechner J, Aschoff J, Rudi T. The vitamin D receptor and the etiology of RANTES/CCL- expressive fatty-degenerative osteolysis of the jawbone: an interface between osteoimmunology and bone metabolism. Int J Gen Med. 2018; 11:155–66. https://doi.org/10.2147/IJGM.S152873 PMID: 29731660.

2. 113 RANTES citations!

 

Does our research with IMD-Berlin on jawbone osteoimmunology find recognition in international scientific literature?

Not without pride I note: Our publications on RANTES/CCL5 and FDOK have been cited 113 times so far (of course without self-citations).

21. ICOSIM Weekly

1. ICOSIM: Live surgery at Jawbone Detox Days 14/15 July
2. RANTES and developmental defects of enamel in children
3. Save the date: 17th Sep. Lecture by Dr. Lechner about Immune regulation and chronic inflammation in the jaw

Posted on by adminLeave a comment

Dear ICOSIM Friends and Osteoimmunology Members,

before we say goodbye for the summer break, a short note on our own behalf:
after the 100th ICOSIM Weekly from the beginning of July, we have decided to publish the Weekly fortnightly.

Always worth reading and informative for what is new in osteoimmunology of the jaw bone!!!

1. Our JAWBONE DETOX DAYS® has been very successful

on July 14th/15th, with our colleagues from the Munich Research Team-MRI Dr. Florian Notter and Dr. Fabian Schick:

With modern digital technology, two FDOK live surgeries were transmitted from our practice clinic to the pleasant (plus 37 Celsius) hotel for the participants.

The latest findings in regulative-immunological dentistry IMMUNE DENTISTRY with revolutionary new multimodal concept for therapy planning in jaw rehabilitation and implantology were presented by Hans Lechner.


Learn more about the concept to ensure individual success in diagnosis and therapy in our upcoming JAWBONE DETOX DAYS® in the ICOSIM Weekly!

The impressive lecture by Dr. Andres Fernandez from Costa Rica contributed to the international exchange of experience and lively discussion among colleagues:

2. ARTICLE: RANTES and developmental defects of enamel in children

Who does not know it? The helpless shrug of the shoulders of worried parents: Their child already has terrible enamel defects on the milk teeth!

Here is a paper with reference to enamel defects to RANTES/CCL5: Read the paper

[Costa EM, Pinho JRO, Saraiva MdCP, Ribeiro CCC, Batista RFL, Coêlho Alves CM, et al. (2023) RANTES and developmental defects of enamel in children: a Brazilian prenatal cohort (BRISA). PLoS ONE 18(7): e0284606. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0284606].
 

Conclusion: Lower RANTES concentrations in the blood during during pregnancy may affect the process of amelogenesis, because this chemokine affects cellular depolarization, which is induced by the sustained influx of calcium (Ca++) and the release of inflammatory inflammatory cytokines that promote cell adhesion/aggregation is triggered.

P.S. One also cites at [40] our own publication: Go to publication

19. ICOSIM Weekly – CaviTAU goes Washington DC – Ceramic Implant Congress

Posted on by adminLeave a comment

Dear ICOSIM members,

due to my vacation a today delayed ICOSIM-Weekly: Our CaviTAU developer team was in Washington DC.,USA from May 19-21, 2022 and could demonstrate the leading role of CaviTAU in the use of ceramic implants in front of more than 100 participants.

Here is the title and abstract of my talk in English:

Ultrasonography versus radiography in the assessment of jawbone density in preparation for implant placement- A novel approach

A new ultrasonography device generates an ultrasound wave and passes that wave through the jawbone, called “Trans Alveolar Ultrasonography (TAU)”. Will a newly available TAU device answer the questions:

  • Is the jawbone ready for implant insertion?
  • Or is the implant connected to persisting bone marrow defects?
  • Or connected to aseptic necrotic bone and poses a risk to implant placement?

Ultrasonography device CaviTAU® is developed for the radiation-free measurement of bone density and suitable to visualize the condition of jawbone beyond radiography. TAU device CaviTAU® displays load-free jawbones for non-problematic and durable implant insertion and is available to detect radiographically undetectable “silent inflammations” around persisting “unexplainable painful” implants.

In the daily praxis and for your daily implant success measuring bone density by TAU ultrasonography before and after implantation avoids failures. TAU protects dentists and patients from the early loss of implants. Impressive clinical cases are presented by the presenter.

TAU device CaviTAU® displays a new insight into an under recognized entity of “silent inflammation” in jawbone and is a reliable guide to “jawbone detox”. For further information please visit www.cavitau.de.

16. ICOSIM Weekly – Lifestream video Lechner ZWP-Online CaviTAU® – Article and discussion public Resolution No. 32.

Posted on by adminLeave a comment

Dear ICOSIM colleagues,

  1. I hope you have enjoyed and found interest in our new life surgery videos, in the undeniable documentation of the existence of FDOJ pathology. This ICOSIM-Weekly extends the topic “Jawbone Detox” with the link to the livestream lecture of Hans Lechner in ZWP-online titled: “Novel imaging in the jawbone with ultrasound”.
To the ZWP notification

I wish you good entertainment and profound information about CaviTAU®

  1. Of course, the discussion about Resolution No. 32 is not letting up. I quote in excerpt:
    “The treatment of so-called NICO (Neuralgia Inducing Cavitational Osteonecrosis), fatty degenerative osteolysis/osteonecrosis in the jawbone or similar diagnoses, are medically unnecessary measures, as the effectiveness has not been proven by scientific medically based study investigations. Furthermore, the alleged clinical picture of NICO is neither listed as a disease according to the ICD10 key nor in the WHO directories. Therefore, there is no medical necessity for the performance of diagnostics and treatments of this disease, such as Cavitat diagnostics….”

Obviously, the emeritus Prof. Staehle of the University of Heidelberg is behind No.32, because he had an article written:
“Neuralgia-inducing cavitational osteonecrosis – A systematic review”

Supported with tax money from the University of Heidelberg
(See Funding information: The work was supported by the Department of Conservative Dentistry and the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Heidelberg. Caroline Sekundo is funded by the Physician Scientist Program of Heidelberg University, Faculty of Medicine).

To the article

We do not leave this article unchallenged, as an expression of a scientifically appropriate discussion.

If you want to participate in the discussion, you can read the reply of Prof. May (Uni Dresden) and Lechner:
