Genetic risk variants implicate impaired maintenance and repair of periodontal tissues as causal for periodontitis—A synthesis of recent findings

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
AbstractPeriodontitis is a complex inflammatory disease in which the host genome, in conjunction with extrinsic factors, determines susceptibility and progression. Genetic predisposition is the strongest risk factor in the first decades of life. As people age, chronic exposure to the periodontal microbiome puts a strain on the proper maintenance of ...

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

CCN2: A potential contributor to gingival overgrowth

Journal of Oral Biosciences
Fibrotic responses in the gingiva are characterized by their hyperproliferative nature instead of scar tissue formation. Clinically, these conditions appear as "gingival overgrowth" (GO), which can be of drug-induced or genetic origin. Despite surgical removal, GO can recur. Therefore, non-invasive methods of treating GO are required. In other fibrotic
