Smart Coatings Integrating Antimicrobial and Tissue‐Remodeling Functions for Implant Interfaces
Schematic illustration of a dental implant system showing inflammation around a non‐coated abutment (left) and a stimuli‐responsive coated abutment (right). Acidification associated with inflammation triggers degradation of the PMAA‐based coating, enabling controlled antibiotic release from the LbL system and combating bacterial infection.

Emerging evidence suggests that periodontal health is not simply the absence of disease, but the result of a dynamic interaction between biological resilience, healthy lifestyles, adaptive coping mechanisms, and supportive environments. This results in a strong sense of coherence, which is not only a psychological state but also a biological state ...

Periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis—Global efforts to untangle two complex diseases
Abstract Understanding the impact of oral health on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) will inform how best to manage patients with both periodontitis and RA. This review seeks to provide an update on interventional and mechanistic investigations, including a brief summary of European Research programs investigating the link between periodontitis and RA.

Abstract The objective of the study was to assess the effect of soft‐tissue volume augmentation during early, delayed, and late dental implant therapy in terms of professionally determined esthetics and self‐reported patient satisfaction on esthetics. For this, a comprehensive electronic literature search was performed to identify randomized clinical ...

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

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 ...
