Abstract Objectives This systematic review investigated the efficacy of biologic factors in the surgical treatment of periodontal suprabony defects. Materials and Methods Three databases were searched to identify RCTs comparing open‐flap debridement (OFD) combined with biologic factors only, or combined with bone substitute, and/or barriers to the same

Abstract Background Periodontal clinical trials commonly use surrogate end points (e.g., probing pocket depth [PPD], clinical attachment level [CAL], bleeding on probing [BoP], and composite scores such as the Periodontal Risk Score [PRS]) for efficiency, yet tooth loss, treatment burden/cost, and re‐treatment are the definitive patient‐relevant ...

Long‐term periodontal and peri‐implant tissue stability under supportive therapy
Abstract Background Supportive periodontal and peri‐implant maintenance therapy is strongly associated with improved long‐term retention and stability of natural teeth and dental implants. Lack of regular professional follow‐up after initial therapy is a major risk factor for disease recurrence and tooth or implant loss.

Understanding exosomes in regenerative dentistry
Abstract Background Regenerative dentistry is shifting from cell‐based strategies to cell‐free biologics capable of orchestrating intricate tissue repair. Exosomes, nanosized extracellular vesicles carrying bioactive molecular payloads, have emerged as central modulators of intercellular communication.
