This graphical abstract illustrates the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) across the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapeutics of periodontal and peri‐implant diseases. Microbial and host stimuli trigger MMP activation leading to extracellular matrix breakdown, point‐of‐care aMMP‐8 detection aids diagnosis, and adjunctive or AI‐assisted ...

EMD is one of the few biological agents with human histologic evidence supporting periodontal regeneration. This is reflected in improved clinical outcomes when used in regenerative surgery for intrabony defects. Despite its biological plausibility for broader therapeutic applications, further high‐quality randomized clinical trials are needed to ...

The Role of Wnt Signaling in Age‐Related Alveolar Bone Loss and Regeneration
The graphical abstract summarizes key signaling pathways involved in bone formation and resorption associated with Wnt signaling across young and aged long bone and jaw tissues. Levels of evidence are indicated as robust, moderate, or emerging, reflecting the current experimental support in each context.
