Abstract Background Peri‐implantitis is a destructive disease affecting the tissues surrounding dental implants. Biomaterials may be applied during surgical treatment to reconstruct bony defects and support soft tissue healing. However, current evidence is unclear if these treatments increase the likelihood of peri‐implantitis resolution.

Abstract This study explored the validity of person judgements by targets and their acquaintances (‘informants’) in longitudinally predicting a broad range of psychologically meaningful life experiences. Judgements were gathered from four sources (targets, N = 189; and three types of informants, N = 1352), and their relative predictive validity was ...

The influence of flap design on the relevance of biomaterials in regenerative periodontal surgery
Abstract Background The aim of this systematic review was to explore whether the benefits of biomaterials in periodontal regenerative/reconstructive surgery are affected by the type of flap employed. The study addresses the existing gap in the evidence to substantiate the beneficial effect of minimal invasive periodontal surgical approach compared to a

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