Zinc‐stabilized stannous fluoride modulates the periodontal microbiome, reducing Fusobacteria, key Gram‐negative species, and overall inflammation within an experimental gingivitis clinical trial

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a dentifrice containing stannous fluoride stabilized with zinc phosphate on subgingival microbiome composition and clinical inflammation during experimental gingivitis, compared with a sodium fluoride control. Methods This investigation was conducted as a secondary analysis of a randomized,

Europe's contribution to the evaluation of the use of systemic antimicrobials in the treatment of periodontitis

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This narrative review celebrates Europe's contribution to the current knowledge on systemically administered antimicrobials in periodontal treatment. Periodontitis is the most frequent chronic noncommunicable human disease. It is caused by dysbiotic bacterial biofilms and is commonly treated with subgingival instrumentation.

Supra and subgingival application of antiseptics or antibiotics during periodontal therapy

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) are characterized by inflammatory processes which arise as a result of disruption of the balance in the oral ecosystem. According to the current S3 level clinical practice guidelines, therapy of patients with periodontitis involves a stepwise approach that includes the control of the patient ...

Role of defensins in immunothrombosis

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
Defensins are important proteins that link the immune system and blood clotting, playing a key role in immunothrombosis. α‐defensins mainly come from neutrophils, while β‐defensins are produced by epithelial cells and platelets. These proteins help form blood clots in several ways: they slow down clot breakdown (fibrinolysis), activate platelets, and ...
