Soft Tissue Substitutes: Current Biomaterials and Indications at Teeth and Implant Sites

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This manuscript provides an updated overview of the current evidence on soft tissue graft substitutes for teeth and dental implants. When appropriately indicated, these biomaterials offer a reliable, less invasive alternative to autogenous grafts, effectively improving root coverage, keratinized mucosa width, and soft tissue thickness with reduced ...

Peri‐Implant Soft‐Tissue Phenotype Modification for Refractory Peri‐Implant Mucositis: A 12‐Month Prospective Clinical Study With Ultrasonographic Analysis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Surgical treatment of refractory peri‐implant mucositis with a free gingival graft (FGG) was effective in disease resolution, achieving reductions in probing pocket depth (PPD) and inflammation. Significant gains in mucosal thickness (MT) and keratinized mucosa width (KMW), as well as partial recession coverage and re‐establishment of attached mucosa ...

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and

Etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of peri‐implantitis: A European perspective

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Peri‐implantitis is a plaque‐associated pathological condition occurring in tissues around dental implants. It is characterized by inflammation in the peri‐implant mucosa and progressive loss of supporting bone. Over the last 30 years, peri‐implantitis has become a major disease burden in dentistry.

Periodontal considerations during orthodontic intrusion and extrusion in healthy and reduced periodontium

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract In patients with advanced periodontal disease, pathological tooth migration may occur, which may require subsequent orthodontic treatment for both aesthetic and functional purposes. When planning orthodontic treatment mechanics, intrusive or extrusive forces are frequently indicated.

Advantages of horizontal centrifugation of platelet‐rich fibrin in regenerative medicine and dentistry

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this comprehensive review was to evaluate comparative studies on horizontal and fixed‐angle centrifugation methods for preparing platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF). Furthermore, additional studies utilizing horizontal PRF (H‐PRF) were systematically investigated.
