Inhibitory effects of Tamarix hispida extracts on planktonic form and biofilm formation of six pathogenic bacteria

Biological Journal of Microorganism, 2015
 Introduction: Biofilms are communities of microorganisms embedded in a self-produced extracellular polymeric matrix. Bacterial cells are protected from antimicrobial agents in biofilm structure.

Diagnostic modulation of subgingival proteomic biomarkers by age and smoking habits in periodontitis

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Although age and smoking influence the periodontal proteome, their impact on subgingival biomarkers for diagnosing periodontitis remains unclear. This multicenter study assessed their influence on subgingival proteins for disease detection.

Does timing of systemic antibiotics influence periodontal treatment outcomes? A randomized clinical trial

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The aim of this study is to determine whether the timing of metronidazole (MTZ) and amoxicillin (AMX) administration, relative to scaling and root planing (SRP), influences the clinical and microbiological outcomes of periodontal treatment.

Electrolyzed saline as an alternative to chlorhexidine: Antimicrobial and biofilm volume outcomes in a 4‐day non‐brushing randomized controlled clinical trial

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The biofilm‐inhibitory effects of electrolyzed saline (EOS) vary widely due to differences in formulations and treatment methods. This study analyzed the impact of EOS on key oral microbial species and used serial 3D‐intraoral scans to evaluate its effects on de novo biofilm formation.

Immunomodulators, associated or not with systemic antibiotics, to treat periodontitis: A 1‐year multicenter, placebo‐controlled, double‐blind, randomized clinical trial

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Immunomodulatory agents such as omega‐3 (ω‐3) and low‐dose aspirin (ASA) have been proposed as effective adjuncts in the treatment of periodontitis. However, they still lack long‐term studies and head‐to‐head evaluation with metronidazole (MTZ) and amoxicillin (AMX), the adjunct protocol with the strongest scientific evidence of ...

New Anti-Telomerase Anti-Cancer Agents

, 2008
The unlimited proliferative potential of cancer cells depends on telomere maintenance. Optimal telomerase activity requires in chromosomal DNA an unfolded single-stranded telomeric overhang.

A multicenter, controlled, randomized trial of home‐applied dual‐light photodynamic therapy in stage I to III periodontitis (LumoNorth2022 study)

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontitis is a widespread, chronic infection‐triggered inflammatory condition in which professional supportive periodontal care (SPC) and daily oral hygiene form the backbone to reduce the disease activity. Light‐based treatments have shown promising antibacterial effects, but their potential for routine home use has not been ...

Effect of periodontal treatment on adipokines in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontal disease (PD) is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), while periodontal treatment (PT) improves glycemic control in T2DM patients. Leptin and adiponectin belong to the adipokines family and have almost antagonistic functions in inflammatory processes and insulin sensitivity modulation.
