Soft Tissue Substitutes: Current Biomaterials and Indications at Teeth and Implant Sites
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.This manuscript provides an updated overview of the current evidence on soft tissue graft substitutes for teeth and dental implants. When appropriately indicated, these biomaterials offer a reliable, less invasive alternative to autogenous grafts, effectively improving root coverage, keratinized mucosa width, and soft tissue thickness with reduced ...

Platelet‐Rich Fibrins as Local Drug‐Delivery Carriers
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.Autologous platelet concentrates (APCs), particularly platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF), act as biologically active fibrin scaffolds, capable of entrapping and gradually releasing therapeutic agents in oral and periodontal therapy. The incorporation of bioactive compounds, such as antibiotics, antifungals, vitamins, antidiabetic drugs, and exosomes, enhances ...

Down-regulation of miR-200b-targeting Slug axis by cyclosporine A in human gingival fibroblasts
Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2018 Background/Purpose: Cyclosporine A (CsA) has been used as an immunosuppressive agent with a side effect of gingival overgrowth. It has been known that CsA-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in gingiva, but the molecular mechanism has not ...

Osteoporosis and Periodontitis: Two‐Way Epidemiological and Mechanistic Evidence
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.This review investigates the main mechanistic pathways connecting local periodontitis to systemic osteoporosis. Seven interconnected mechanisms are identified. ABSTRACT Osteoporosis and periodontitis are highly prevalent, chronic inflammatory diseases that constitute a major global health burden.

Viruses, Periodontitis, and Systemic Diseases
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.This narrative review aimed to summarize current evidence on the viral involvement in periodontitis and its relevance for systemic diseases. The oral cavity acts as an active viral reservoir and dissemination platform, where virus–microbiome interactions may promote dysbiosis, periodontitis progression, and systemic inflammatory effects, while the ...

Gingival fibroma versus verrucous leukoplakia – A clinical dilemma!!!
Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology, 2016 Gingival overgrowths found in the oral cavity are mostly due to reactive hyperplasia and rarely depict neoplastic nature. It is a challenge for the clinician to give final diagnoses of gingival overgrowth.
