Periodontal diseases: is it possible to prevent them? A populational and individual approach [PDF]

, 2021
Periodontal diseases are infectious inflammatory chronic diseases of a multifactorial nature. They are primarily caused by dysbiotic ecological changes in dental biofilm, which may be influenced by risk factors. The prevention of periodontal diseases may

Biological Roles of Fibroblasts in Periodontal Diseases

Cells, 2022
Periodontal diseases include periodontitis and gingival overgrowth. Periodontitis is a bacterial infectious disease, and its pathological cascade is regulated by many inflammatory cytokines secreted by immune or tissue cells, such as interleukin-6.

Spatiotemporal Regulation of the Bone Immune Microenvironment via Dam‐Like Biphasic Bionic Periosteum for Bone Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2, 2023., 2023
A novel micro‐sol (MS)@carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC)‐collagen (Col) biphasic bionic periosteum is constructed and its feasibility in bone regeneration is tested in the study. The biphasic bionic periosteum can coordinate the conversion of macrophages (Mφ) subtypes through controlled release of interleukin‐4 (IL‐4) and realize the controllable conversion
