Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

Oral Microbiome Signatures in Periodontitis and Edentulism—A Population‐Based Study
This study represents the first population‐based investigation of the oral microbiome in relation to periodontitis and edentulism. Periodontitis is characterized by a paradoxical increase in alpha diversity with advancing severity, extent, and grade, followed by a decline with extensive tooth loss and edentulism. Taxonomic shifts included enrichment of

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

From Disease to Illness: Reframing Periodontitis Through an Anthropological Lens
Periodontitis is at once a disease, an illness, and a sickness—where biological pathology, lived experience, and social meaning intersect. The proposed integrated model links upstream structural actions with downstream clinical and educational practices through feedback loops that promote equitable and effective prevention and care.

How AI‐Driven Root and Bone Predictions Can Assist Clear Aligner Treatment Planning
ABSTRACT Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced three‐dimensional (3D) imaging has revolutionised dentistry by enhancing diagnostics and treatment planning. Advanced algorithms and machine‐learning techniques may enable orthodontists to analyse complex cases and predict treatment outcomes accurately.

Differentially Expressed Salivary miRNAs in Temporomandibular Disorders
ABSTRACT Objective Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are heterogeneous conditions of unclear aetiology involving the temporomandibular joint, masticatory muscles and neural tissues. Limited understanding of their pathogenesis hampers accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment. Therefore, this study aimed to identify salivary microRNA (miRNA) signatures
