Electrolyzed saline as an alternative to chlorhexidine: Antimicrobial and biofilm volume outcomes in a 4‐day non‐brushing randomized controlled clinical trial

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The biofilm‐inhibitory effects of electrolyzed saline (EOS) vary widely due to differences in formulations and treatment methods. This study analyzed the impact of EOS on key oral microbial species and used serial 3D‐intraoral scans to evaluate its effects on de novo biofilm formation.

Combined Effects of Puerarin and Adipose‐Derived Stem Cells on Alveolar Bone Preservation and Inflammation Control in Periodontitis Through p38MAPK Modulation

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the effects of puerarin and adipose‐derived stem cells (ADSCs), alone or combined, on p38MAPK activity, alveolar bone preservation, and inflammatory responses in a rat periodontitis (PD) model and in vitro. ADSCs were exposed to various puerarin concentrations to assess cell proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and ...

Changes in the microbiome and metabolome in captive red kangaroos (Osphranter rufus) affected by macropod progressive periodontal disease

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Macropod progressive periodontal disease (MPPD) is a severe oral condition frequently observed in captive macropods, particularly red kangaroos (Osphranter rufus), yet its underlying biological features remain poorly understood. In this exploratory descriptive study, we investigated oral and fecal microbiomes and metabolomic profiles in captive red ...

Changes in Peri‐Implant Soft Tissue Dimensions Following Soft Tissue Contour Augmentation: A 3‐Year Follow‐Up of a Multi‐Center RCT

Clinical Oral Implants Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To assess 3‐year changes of peri‐implant tissues following previous soft tissue (volume) augmentation (STA) with a volume‐stable collagen matrix (VCMX) or connective tissue (SCTG) at single‐implant restorations. Material and Methods In a non‐interventional follow‐up observation, peri‐implant tissues were evaluated with regard to buccal ...

Effect of Connective Tissue Graft as an Adjunct to Guided Bone Regeneration in the Surgical Treatment of Peri‐Implantitis: A Dual‐Center Randomized Controlled Trial

Clinical Oral Implants Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate whether adding a connective tissue graft (CTG) to guided bone regeneration (GBR) improves clinical and radiographic outcomes in surgical peri‐implantitis treatment. Materials and Methods Thirty‐two patients with peri‐implantitis were randomly assigned to receive GBR and CTG (test group, TG) or GBR alone (control group ...
