A Principled Framework for Mendelian Randomization in Oral Health Research
This methodological article provides a clear and accessible overview of Mendelian randomization for oral health researchers, emphasizing the core assumptions needed for credible causal inference. Focusing on applications in oral health, particularly periodontitis, it highlights both the strengths and limitations of the study design in order to support ...

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes

Systemic, Lifestyle and Environmental Modifying Factors in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis
A variety of impacting factors in the pathogenesis of periodontitis exist, including systemic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. This review highlights the manifold mechanistic aspects of the link between the pathogenesis of periodontitis, addressing these numerous factors to supplement the long‐standing knowledge of the progression of the disease.

ABSTRACT Insomnia may play a causal role in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Addressing insomnia through cognitive behavioural therapy (CBTi) in people with non‐diabetic hyperglycaemia could potentially reduce the risk of progression to T2D. To inform a future randomised trial, we performed a feasibility study of digital CBT (dCBTi) in individuals at increased ...
