## TL;DR

This paper investigates how losing occlusal support affects cognitive decline in rats through changes in neuroplasticity.

## Contribution

The study reveals a novel link between occlusal support loss and cognitive decline via neuroplasticity changes in rats.

## Key findings

- Occlusal support loss leads to significant cognitive decline in Sprague–Dawley rats.
- Neuroplasticity changes are observed in brain regions associated with memory and learning.
- These findings suggest a potential mechanism for cognitive impairment due to dental issues.
