In a multi‐center cohort of over 3900 patients with periodontitis, more than half experienced furcation progression, with a median time to the first event of 3.6 years. Smoking, diabetes, and overall periodontal health were significant predictors of progression. Critically, the initial furcation grade was the most powerful predictor of a tooth's future

This review describes the features of grade C molar‐incisor pattern periodontitis and discusses the role of A. actinomycetemcomitans in its pathogenesis and why molars and incisors are preferably affected. Possible future studies on this aggressive disease in primary and permanent dentition and emerging omics techniques for diagnosis and management are

EMD is one of the few biological agents with human histologic evidence supporting periodontal regeneration. This is reflected in improved clinical outcomes when used in regenerative surgery for intrabony defects. Despite its biological plausibility for broader therapeutic applications, further high‐quality randomized clinical trials are needed to ...

Fewer posterior masticatory units (PMUs) are associated with higher mortality, partly explained by diet quality. This association is attenuated by posterior prosthetic rehabilitation and is no longer evident when ≥ 5 PMUs are restored with implant‐supported prostheses. ABSTRACT Aim To (i) evaluate the association between posterior masticatory unit (PMU)
