Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes

Obesity‐Related Coagulation Activation in Adolescents and Children: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesObesity Reviews, EarlyView.
Obesity is widely recognized as a pro‐thrombotic condition, yet the specific biomarker profile reflecting coagulation activation remains incompletely defined. Obesity is associated with increased coagulation activation, particularly in children, suggesting an early pro‐thrombotic shift.

Platelet Levels Associated With Bleeding Risk for Dental Interventions: A Systematic Review

open access: yesOral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate evidence in relation to postoperative bleeding in humans aged ≥ 16 with preoperative platelet counts < 50,000/μL, compared to those above, undergoing dental interventions. Methods Quantitative synthesis without meta‐analysis was conducted through an electronic search conducted on Ovid MEDLINE and Embase from 1946 to ...
