Efficacy of a Hyaluronic Acid‐Based Gel Versus 0.20% Chlorhexidine in Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy: A Single‐Blind Randomized Clinical Trial

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To compare the adjunctive efficacy of a hyaluronic acid (HA) gel with 0.20% chlorhexidine (CHX) during nonsurgical periodontal therapy in periodontal patients over 6 months. Methods A single‐blind, randomized, controlled trial included 40 healthy, nonsmoking adults with periodontitis.

Oxidative Stress–Driven Alterations in FoxO‐1 and MMP‐9 Activity in Smoking‐Associated Periodontitis

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Smoking disrupts oxidative balance and is a major risk factor for periodontitis. Forkhead box protein O‐1 (FoxO‐1) regulates antioxidant defense, yet its contribution to smoking‐associated periodontal breakdown is unclear. This cross‐sectional case–control study assessed reactive oxygen species (ROS), matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐

Influence of Vitamin D Concentration and Glycaemic Control on the Severity of Periodontitis in Cameroonian Type 2 Diabetics: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This cross‐sectional study aimed to evaluate the influence of vitamin D and glycaemic control on the severity of periodontitis in Cameroonian type 2 diabetics (T2D) and to identify the determinants of severe periodontitis (SP). Methods Vitamin D concentration and blood glucose control were determined by measuring serum levels of 25 ...

Red‐Complex Bacterial DNA in Carotid Atheroma of Dentate and Long‐Term Edentulous Patients and Its Association With Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to evaluate (i) the presence of red complex bacteria in carotid atheroma plaques of dentate and edentulous patients and (ii) the possible relationship between mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA‐cn), an indicator of mitochondrial function, and periodontal disease.

Periodontitis‐Associated Bacteria and Their Connection to Proinflammatory Biomarkers in Periodontal Pockets: A Clinical Microbiological Study

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This study examines the relationship between the microbial load of selected periodontitis‐associated bacteria (PAB) and proinflammatory biomarkers in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) from patients with periodontitis. Methods GCF and subgingival biofilm samples were collected from the deepest periodontal pocket of each quadrant of 515

Association Between Periodontitis and Respiratory Diseases: A Systematic Umbrella Meta‐Analysis

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study aimed to evaluate the association between periodontitis and respiratory diseases using an umbrella meta‐analysis. Methods Meta‐analyses (MAs) reporting odds ratios (OR) and mean differences (MD) for the association between periodontitis and respiratory diseases of COVID‐19, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma ...

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL exacerbates orthotopic allograft transplantation vasculopathy via impairment of endothelial cell function

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Orthotopic allograft transplantation (OAT) is a significant approach to addressing organ failure. However, persistent immune responses to the allograft affect chronic rejection, which induces OAT vasculopathy (OATV) and organ failure. Porphyromonas gingivalis can infiltrate remote organs via the bloodstream, thereby intensifying the severity ...

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.
