The Effects of Rapid Periodontal Distraction on Tooth Vitality and Bone Quality/Quantity: A Split‐Mouth Experimental Design

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Periodontal distraction (PD) osteogenesis is a minimally invasive technique capable of rapidly moving uniradicular teeth, thereby shortening orthodontic treatment time. This study aimed to determine whether: (1) PD‐induced tooth movement affects tooth vitality and (2) the regenerated bone meets restorative standards for implant ...

233 nm far‐UV‐C radiation for biofilm inactivation

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Based on tests to assess biofilm formation potential (crystal violet staining, color of colonies grown on Congo red agar and calcofluor agar), three bacterial genera/species/strains (Staphylococcus (S.) epidermidis, S. aureus, Pseudomonas (P.) aeruginosa) were selected for analysis of their biofilm matrix composition.

Emerging locally delivered antimicrobial and immunomodulatory approaches for the prevention/treatment of peri‐implant diseases

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Peri‐implant diseases are dysbiosis‐mediated inflammatory disorders that occur in susceptible hosts. Antimicrobials and immunomodulatory agents therefore might be pertinent as adjunctive measures in the treatment of such disorders. The aim of this narrative review was to examine the existing evidence and assess the effectiveness of emerging ...

The efficacy of biologic factors on the surgical therapy of periodontal suprabony defects: A systematic review and network meta‐analysis of randomized clinical trials

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives This systematic review investigated the efficacy of biologic factors in the surgical treatment of periodontal suprabony defects. Materials and Methods Three databases were searched to identify RCTs comparing open‐flap debridement (OFD) combined with biologic factors only, or combined with bone substitute, and/or barriers to the same
