The effect of non‐surgical periodontal treatment on progranulin levels
Abstract Background The aim of this study was to study the effect of non‐surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) on gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum progranulin (PGRN) levels in the early healing phases. Methods The study included periodontitis (test) (n = 24) and periodontal health (control) (n = 24) groups.

Abstract Background Epithelium is the periodontal first line of defense against microbes. Discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1) is a collagen receptor expressed in epithelium. Ddr1 knockout (Ddr1−/−) mice develop periodontitis‐like defects, including junctional epithelium (JE) downgrowth, bacterial invasion, and alveolar bone loss.

Tracing the evolution of root coverage: Clinical milestones leading to a minimally invasive era
Abstract Over the past several decades, periodontal plastic surgery has undergone a remarkable transformation, particularly in the field of root coverage procedures. This review traces the historical evolution of surgical techniques, from the early use of pedicle flaps and free gingival grafts (FGGs) to the development of bilaminar approaches ...

Abstract Background Alveolar bone loss challenges tooth retention and implant placement. Freeze‐dried bone allograft (FDBA) is widely used for alveolar ridge preservation but has limitations in resorption rate and healing time. In this proof‐of‐concept study, we tested whether pro‐mineralization enzyme, tissue‐nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP ...

Abstract Background Free palatal gingival grafts (FGG) are commonly harvested during mucogingival procedures. The present study investigates age‐related local and systemic early secondary wound healing outcomes, following FGG harvest in a rat model. Methods A 4.2 mm diameter defect was created in the palate of 24 younger (2 m) and 24 older (6 m) Wistar
