Design characteristics of studies evaluating the effect of non‐surgical periodontal treatment on systemic health outcomes

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Evidence for whether and how non‐surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) improves systemic outcomes remains equivocal. Inconclusive findings may in part be due to design variations of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in this field.

Peri‐implant hypoxia as a potential barrier against ferroptotic mechanisms during peri‐implant diseases: A cross‐sectional study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hypoxia modulates inflammation and oxidative stress through hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1α (HIF‐1α). Ferroptosis, an iron‐dependent cell death process, is regulated by glutathione peroxidase‐4 (GPX4) and involves lipid peroxidation markers like malondialdehyde (MDA).
