Smoking and Periodontal Disease [PDF]

Materia Socio Medica, 2012
Periodontitis is a group of inflammatory diseases affecting the supporting tissues of the tooth (periodontium). The periodontium consists of four tissues : gingiva, alveolar bone and periodontal ligaments. Tobbaco use is one of the modifiable risk factors and has enormous influance on the development, progres and tretmen results of periodontal disease.

H2S‐Amplified “Three‐in‐One” Antibacterial Strategy for Periodontitis Treatment Using a Photosensitive Pillararene‐Embedded COF/MOF Hybrid

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The integration of ROS‐generating systems with H2S depletion strategies effectively overcomes the limitations imposed by endogenous antioxidant defenses on ROS‐based antimicrobial therapies. In this study, the Cu‐MOF is incorporated into pillararene‐embedded COF, achieving a “three‐in‐one” antimicrobial effect that markedly alleviated periodontal ...

Orchestrated Engineered Polyphenol‐Peptide Condensates Coupled With β‐GP Reverses Diabetic Osteoporosis by Remodeling Mitophagy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A multifunctional β‐GP@EGCG‐E7 nanoplatform is engineered by polyphenol–peptide condensation and phosphate loading. Bone‐targeted delivery, antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory activity, and mitophagy restoration are integrated in one system, enabling protection of osteoblasts and endothelial cells and promoting bone regeneration under diabetic ...

In Vitro Antifungal Efficacy of Blue-Light Photodynamic Therapy with Curcumin and Riboflavin Formulation Activated by 450 nm Diode Laser Against Candida albicans Biofilm on Titanium Implants

Pharmaceutics
Background: Candida albicans is increasingly recognized in peri-implantitis due to its capacity to form resilient biofilms on implant surfaces, limiting treatment success.

Beyond Potency: Emerging Determinants and Optimization Strategies Enhancing Therapeutic Efficacy of Adult Stem Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Adult stem cell therapy requires more than high in vitro potency. This review proposes a systems framework in which cell‐intrinsic programs, instructive microenvironmental cues, and pre‐/post‐delivery engineering are co‐designed under standardized translational rules.

Efficacy of Toluidine Blue—Mediated Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy on Candida spp. A Systematic Review

Antibiotics, 2021
The effectiveness of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in the treatment of oral yeast infections was examined many times in recent years. The authors of this review tried to address the question: “Should TBO (toluidine blue ortho)-mediated aPDT ...

Mood Disorder Begins in the Mouth: Periodontitis Mediates Anxiety‐Like Behaviors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The previous study elucidated that the C‐reactive protein (CRP)/bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) signaling pathway mediates periodontitis‐associated anxiety‐like behaviors in rats. This molecular crosstalk along the periodontal‐hippocampal axis provides novel insights into the etiology and mechanisms of emotional disorders. However, several

Use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) in oral lichen planus treatment: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials

BMC Oral Health
Background Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the skin and mucous membranes, including the oral cavity. The prevalence of oral lichen planus (OLP) in the general population is estimated to be between 0.5% and 2%, with a ...

Gastrin-Releasing Peptide (GRP) Stimulates Osteoclastogenesis in Periodontitis

Cells, 2020
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease with alveolar bone resorption and subsequent tooth loss as its ultimate outcomes. Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) is a neuropeptide with growth-stimulatory and tumorigenic properties, and neuropeptides have
