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

Bone Grafts: Everything You Need to Know
This review classifies bone grafts (autograft, allograft, xenograft, synthetic) by source and osteogenic/inductive/conductive potential, linking material properties and mechanisms to clinical indications in periodontal and dental regeneration. Key challenges—limited osteoinduction, poor vascularisation, unbalanced resorption, handling difficulties, and

Osteoporosis and Periodontitis: Two‐Way Epidemiological and Mechanistic Evidence
This review investigates the main mechanistic pathways connecting local periodontitis to systemic osteoporosis. Seven interconnected mechanisms are identified. ABSTRACT Osteoporosis and periodontitis are highly prevalent, chronic inflammatory diseases that constitute a major global health burden.

Periodontal diseases affect over a billion people worldwide, yet remain weakly integrated into global non‐communicable disease agendas. We propose reorienting periodontal care around three public health opportunities—upstream prevention, diagnosis fit for both clinical and population use, and value‐based treatment—prioritizing prevention, value, and ...
