Oral Health, Periodontitis, and Respiratory Diseases: Biological Pathways

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the potential mechanisms by which poor oral health and periodontitis impact lung health, focusing on pneumonia, COPD, and asthma. ABSTRACT Poor oral hygiene and periodontitis influence lung diseases such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), COVID‐19, and asthma.

Illuminating Connections: Exploring the Dynamic Relationship Between Phototherapy and the Skin

Pediatric Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The neonatal period represents a critical window for skin barrier maturation, microbial colonization, and immune development. As such, early‐life exposures may exert lasting effects on dermatologic and systemic health. A common early‐life exposure is blue light phototherapy (BLP), a life‐saving treatment for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia ...

Phylogenomic analysis of natural selection pressure in Streptococcus genomes [PDF]

, 2007
In comparative analyses of bacterial pathogens, it has been common practice to discriminate between two types of genes: (i) those shared by pathogens and their non-pathogenic relatives (core genes), and (ii) those found exclusively in pathogens (pathogen-

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Emerging locally delivered antimicrobial and immunomodulatory approaches for the prevention/treatment of peri‐implant diseases

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Peri‐implant diseases are dysbiosis‐mediated inflammatory disorders that occur in susceptible hosts. Antimicrobials and immunomodulatory agents therefore might be pertinent as adjunctive measures in the treatment of such disorders. The aim of this narrative review was to examine the existing evidence and assess the effectiveness of emerging ...

The Distribution of Sialic Acid Binding Proteins in Streptococcus oralis subsp. oralis [PDF]

, 2021
Streptococcus oralis subsp. oralis, a commensal of the human oral cavity, can enter the bloodstream and cause sub-acute infective endocarditis (IE). The dogma is IE develops when bacteria bind platelets on damaged heart valves via sialic acid.

Mapping the omics landscape for peri‐implant diseases: A scoping review

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives To map omics evidence across peri‐implant health, peri‐implant mucositis, and peri‐implantitis, and to identify recurring molecular patterns and candidate biomarker signals relevant to diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment. Materials and Methods This scoping review included human studies using genomics, DNA methylation–based ...
