Cost‐effectiveness and long‐term outcomes of periodontal regeneration versus dental implants: A retrospective study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Direct comparative data on periodontal regeneration (PR) versus extraction and implant placement remain limited. Tooth‐specific periodontal conditions such as furcation involvement and overall tooth prognosis may dictate success or failure of such treatment.

Comparative efficacy of novel bioactive glass versus sodium fluoride toothpaste for dentin hypersensitivity

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This first‐in‐human clinical study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a bioglass incorporated in a toothpaste, in reducing dentin hypersensitivity (DH) compared to a sodium fluoride (NaF) toothpaste over a 2‐week period. Methods A double‐blind, randomized, parallel‐arm, proof‐of‐concept clinical trial was conducted with 46

Long‐term clinical benefits of periodontal interventions in strict supportive periodontal care: A systematic review

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontitis requires long‐term management to prevent recurrence and tooth loss. While active periodontal therapy (APT) aims to reduce probing pocket depth (PPD) and improve clinical attachment level (CAL), strict supportive periodontal care (SPC) is essential for maintaining these clinical outcomes.

Predictive modeling for step II therapy response in periodontitis - model development and validation

npj Digital Medicine
Steps I and II periodontal therapy is the first-line treatment for periodontal disease, but has varying success. This study aimed to develop machine learning models to predict changes in periodontal probing depth (PPD) after step II therapy using patient-
