Soft Tissue Substitutes: Current Biomaterials and Indications at Teeth and Implant Sites

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Miniplate osteosynthesis for fractures of the edentulous mandible: a clinical study 1989-96

open access: yes, 1998
Our 8 years experience of treating fractures of the edentulous mandible by miniplate osteosynthesis, is discussed. Forty patients (31 men and 9 women) aged 37 to 86 Sears (mean: 6 1.6 years, SD: +/- 14.07) with 67 fracture sites were treated, The ...

Nanoparticles in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry: From Mechanisms to Clinical Applications

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Nanotechnology holds significant promise in improving dental care, yet there is a need for more reliable clinical studies to validate its effectiveness and safety. ABSTRACT Recent advances in nanotechnology are reshaping the landscape of periodontology and implant dentistry, particularly through the application of nanoparticles (NPs).

Dental Implant Rehabilitation Mitigates the Increased Mortality Risk Associated With Tooth Loss: A Population‐Based Study

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
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)

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and

Treatment of an edentulous patient with a dry mouth.

open access: yesThe journal of contemporary dental practice, 2002
Dental health professionals are being asked to care for a growing number and range of medically compromised patients living with chronic health problems. Although tooth loss overall has declined in the United States, millions of persons, particularly those of more advanced age, still require treatment for the edentulous condition. Particular challenges

Artificial Intelligence in Periodontology: A Systematic Review

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
AI shows promise across periodontology, with deep learning achieving strong performance for image‐based diagnosis of periodontitis. However, limited data diversity, inconsistent metrics, and scarce external validation raise concerns about generalizability and clinical applicability.

Tooth Loss and Edentulism Are Associated With Poorer Quality of Life: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analyses

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Tooth loss compromising functional dentition doubles the odds of poor oral health‐related quality of life (OR 2.08), while complete tooth loss nearly quadruples them (OR 3.99). These findings from a systematic review of population‐based studies underscore tooth preservation as a critical public health priority.
