Fimbriae‐Targeted Peptide‐Selenoviologen Cyclophane Complex for Enhanced Photodynamic Therapy of Periodontitis

open access: yesAggregate, EarlyView.
This study develops a supramolecular photosensitizer (SeVB⊃PQ) by combining SeVB with a P. gingivalis‐targeting peptide. SeVB⊃PQ selectively binds P. gingivalis, boosts ROS generation under irradiation, disrupts ATP synthesis, restores microbial balance, reduces inflammation, and promotes alveolar bone regeneration, offering a promising platform for ...

Blockade of cyclophilin D rescues dexamethasone-induced oxidative stress in gingival tissue. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Glucocorticoids (GCs) are frequently used for the suppression of inflammation in chronic inflammatory diseases. Excessive GCs usage is greatly associated with several side effects, including gingival ulceration, the downward migration of the epithelium ...

Smart Denture with Embedded Thin‐Film Temperature Sensors Patterned by Femtosecond Laser Pulse for Elderly Healthcare

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
We demonstrate the direct‐laser patterning of a gold thin film on polymethyl methacrylate to fabricate a temperature sensor for dentures. The temperature sensor‐embedded smart dentures are evaluated in an oral environment, enabling in‐situ monitoring for elderly healthcare.

Periodontitis and the Elderly: An Overview of the Disease and its Impact on an Aging Population [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Periodontitis affects millions of Americans each year, and is especially prevalent among the elderly. Since periodontitis is a chronic, progressive condition, uninterrupted disease progression leads to irreversible oral damage; therefore, periodontitis ...

Frequency of desquamative gingivitis in skin diseases

open access: yesOral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1983
In an attempt to determine the frequency of desquamative gingivitis (DG) in pemphigus vulgaris (PV), bullous pemphigoid (BP), cicatricial pemphigoid (CP), and lichen planus (LP), a large series of patients examined and classified in each group during the years 1972 to 1981 were included in this study. Analysis of the clinical data revealed that, of the

Clinical Presentation of the Longest Reported Living Individual With Bent Bone Dysplasia—FGFR2‐Related

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The FGFR2 gene, encoding the FGFR2 protein, plays a crucial role in embryonic cell development, particularly in bone tissue. Bent Bone Dysplasia (BBD), FGFR2‐related (MIM# 614592), is a rare severe skeletal dysplasia characterized by craniofacial differences, reduced bone mineral density, and bowed long bones.

Autophagy in periodontitis patients and gingival fibroblasts: unraveling the link between chronic diseases and inflammation

open access: yesBMC Medicine, 2012
BackgroundPeriodontitis, the most prevalent chronic inflammatory disease, has been related to cardiovascular diseases. Autophagy provides a mechanism for the turnover of cellular organelles and proteins through a lysosome-dependent degradation pathway ...

Modeling chronic periodontitis in rats: Persistent alveolar bone loss mediated by periodontal pathogens

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Irrigation of periodontal pockets with human periopathogens, in combination with a 14‐day ligature‐induced periodontitis protocol, significantly enhances alveolar bone loss and sustains bacterial colonization for up to 28 days following ligature removal, thereby more closely replicating the chronic nature of human periodontitis compared to the ligature
