How probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, and postbiotics prevent dental caries: an oral microbiota perspective

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Dental caries, a highly prevalent oral disease, impacts a significant portion of the global population. Conventional approaches that indiscriminately eradicate microbes disrupt the natural equilibrium of the oral microbiota.

Effect of a silicon-based sealing agent (GapSeal) on the reverse torque value of the abutment–implant screw [PDF]

Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques
Objective: One major cause of dental implant failure is screw loosening. Silicone sealants have been introduced to reduce the gap between abutments and implants, potentially reducing screw loosening.

Fluoride toothpastes of different concentrations for preventing dental caries.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2019
BACKGROUND Caries (dental decay) is a disease of the hard tissues of the teeth caused by an imbalance, over time, in the interactions between cariogenic bacteria in dental plaque and fermentable carbohydrates (mainly sugars).

TRAF6 Lactylation in Glycolytic Macrophages Drives NF‐κB Signaling and M1 Polarization During Orthodontic Tooth Movement

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram showing compressive stress triggers glycolytic reprogramming and lactate accumulation in macrophages. Lactate mediates TRAF6 lactylation at K171/K180 dual sites, which enhances its K63‐linked ubiquitination to activate the NF‑κB pathway and promote M1 polarization. This cascade drives orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) and alveolar bone
