Piezo2 in Mechanosensory Biology: From Physiological Homeostasis to Disease‐Promoting Mechanisms
Piezo2 channels are essential mechanotransducers regulating touch, proprioception and visceral mechanosensation across physiological systems, emerging as therapeutic targets for pathological mechanical hypersensitivity and neurogenic disorders. ABSTRACT Piezo2, a mechanically activated ion channel, serves as the key molecular transducer for touch ...

Clinical periodontal diagnosis
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

ABSTRACT Background/Aim This study evaluated the dentoalveolar responses of central incisors to anterior maxillary trauma in vitro and in silico using mouthguards (MGs) reinforced with polyamide mesh at three distinct positions. Material and Methods Forty 4‐mm thick MGs were categorized based on mesh location: Group MG1 + 3 (reinforcement 1 mm from the

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Can Artificial Intelligence Language Models Effectively Address Dental Trauma Questions?
ABSTRACT Background/Aim Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, also known as large language models (LLMs), have become increasingly common educational tools in healthcare. Although the use of LLMs for emergency dental trauma is gaining popularity, it is crucial to assess their reliability. This study aimed to compare the reliabilities of different LLMs

Abstract This narrative review celebrates Europe's contribution to the current knowledge on systemically administered antimicrobials in periodontal treatment. Periodontitis is the most frequent chronic noncommunicable human disease. It is caused by dysbiotic bacterial biofilms and is commonly treated with subgingival instrumentation.

Supra and subgingival application of antiseptics or antibiotics during periodontal therapy
Abstract Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) are characterized by inflammatory processes which arise as a result of disruption of the balance in the oral ecosystem. According to the current S3 level clinical practice guidelines, therapy of patients with periodontitis involves a stepwise approach that includes the control of the patient ...
