Laser Disinfection Acts as Biofilm‐Disrupter in Periprosthetic Joint Infection (PJI)
ABSTRACT Infections after joint arthroplasties represent a devastating and progressively escalating complication with increased morbidity and mortality. The eradication of biofilms from infected implants is still an unsolved challenge. The erbium‐doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser, which delivers high‐energy light for rapid tissue ablation ...

Prognostic utility of oral neutrophil counts in high‐risk periodontitis: A retrospective study
Abstract Background Oral polymorphonuclear neutrophil (oPMN) levels are potential biomarkers for differentiating between stages and grades of periodontitis. We compared the diagnostic utility of oPMN levels with bleeding on probing percentage (BOP%) and microbial load in high‐risk patients with periodontitis.

Effect of smoking over one pack daily on implant healing and health: A cohort study
Abstract Background This prospective cohort trial examines the effects of heavy smoking on peri‐implant marginal bone loss (MBL) and implant survival rates over 15 months. Methods Thirty subjects, categorized as either smokers (more than 20 cigarettes daily for over 5 years) or non‐smokers, were initially recruited with pocket depths ≤ 5 mm and at ...

Synergistic effect of periodontitis and C-reactive protein levels on mortality: NHANES 2001-2004.
Periodontitis is associated with elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Although the coexistence of periodontitis and elevated CRP levels may heighten the risk of mortality, previous studies have not confirmed their synergistic effect.

Periodontitis-induced systemic inflammation exacerbates atherosclerosis partly via endothelial-mesenchymal transition in mice. [PDF]
Growing evidence suggests close associations between periodontitis and atherosclerosis. To further understand the pathological relationships of these associations, we developed periodontitis with ligature placement around maxillary molars or ligature ...
