Immunological and periodontal benefits of prebiotic polydextrose in rats with induced periodontitis
Abstract Background Prebiotic therapy is a promising approach for managing periodontitis due to its potential benefits in modulating the microbiome and the immune response. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the prebiotic (PREB) polydextrose (PDX) on the development of experimental periodontitis (EP) in rats.

Functional tooth unit, periodontal status, and association with weight change in older adults
Abstract Background Literature reports that having fewer teeth is associated with reduced chewing capacity, which in turn may lead to weight changes due to diminished oral functionality. This study aims to assess the association between functional tooth units (FTU) and periodontal status and weight change among older adults participating in the Health,

Usability of a deep learning platform for detecting radiographic bone loss and furcation involvement
Abstract Background Assessing radiographic bone condition is important for periodontal diagnosis. The accuracy of radiographic interpretation depends highly on a clinician's experience and knowledge. This study aimed to develop a deep learning‐based online platform that aids clinicians in diagnosing periodontitis based on periapical radiographs and to ...

Dasatinib and quercetin prevent alveolar bone loss in aged mice
Abstract Background Recent findings have associated alveolar bone loss (ABL) with the presence of senescent cells. Aging and the accumulation of senescent cells are associated with a pro‐inflammatory environment which may exacerbate tissue damage.

Clinical Features and Dental Pathologies in Maxillary Sinus Fungal Balls and Odontogenic Sinusitis
This international, multicenter study compared clinical and dental characteristics of maxillary sinus fungal balls (MSFB), odontogenic MSFB (MSFBO), and odontogenic sinusitis (ODS). When MSFB and MSFBO were compared, MSFBO was associated with extruded root canal material and dental implant protrusion; when MSFBOs and ODS were compared, ODS was ...

Endoscopic Transnasal Apicoectomy for Odontogenic Maxillary Sinusitis
Endoscopic transnasal apicoectomy (ETA) is a novel multidisciplinary technique that combines endoscopic sinus surgery with apicoectomy via a transnasal approach. ETA enables direct access to periapical lesions while preserving the causative tooth. Our initial experience suggests that this minimally invasive approach is safe, feasible, and effective for
