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.

Novel and emerging antimicrobial strategies in the management of oral infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Antibiotics marked a pivotal turning point in human civilization, enhancing social interactions and extending human life expectancy. In addition to their success in treating systemic infectious diseases, they have significantly improved periodontal treatment outcomes as an adjunct therapy.

Chemical agents to control biofilm formation in step 1 of care—Toothpastes and mouthwashes/concepts and challenges

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Maintaining optimal oral hygiene is important for overall oral care, ensuring the well‐being of teeth and their surrounding tissues. In addition, it promotes fresh breath and a pleasing smile. A key element of oral self‐care is the daily use of toothpaste during regular brushing.

Long‐term periodontal and peri‐implant tissue stability under supportive therapy

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
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.

An integrated behavioral change model for smoking cessation in periodontal care: The four‐stage behavioral support staircase

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Smoking tobacco is a critical modifiable risk factor for periodontal and peri‐implant diseases. This narrative review integrates established behavioral theories with communication‐based psychological processes to propose an evidence‐based model for smoking cessation support in periodontal care.

From senescence and inflammaging to systemic comorbidities: Drivers of aging‐associated periodontitis

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Aging is accompanied by a chronic low‐grade inflammatory process, known as inflammaging, as well as immunosenescence, an age‐related decline and dysregulation of immune function, and cellular senescence, a process in which cells enter a state of irreversible growth arrest while actively releasing pro‐inflammatory factors.

Kidney Transplant Recipients Develop Nasal Mucosal Antibodies to SARS‐CoV‐2 With ACE2‐Inhibiting Activity Following mRNA Vaccination

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Kidney transplant recipients develop nasal mucosal antibodies after systemic COVID‐19 vaccination, which are able to inhibit binding of SARS‐CoV‐2 to the ACE2 receptor, but at a lower concentration than the general population. ABSTRACT Background Less than 60% of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) become IgG seropositive for the viral spike (S ...

Contributions of vascular ageing to late‐onset Alzheimer's disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Late‐onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is an age‐related disease that is strongly associated with vascular risk factors and cerebrovascular impairments. As such, changes in the vasculature with advancing age likely contribute to LOAD, but the mechanisms underlying these contributions remain incompletely understood.

Neuroprotective roles of klotho: Molecular pathways and therapeutic implications for cognitive health in neurological and psychiatric diseases

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Klotho, a pleiotropic protein initially identified for its role in kidney function, has garnered significant attention for its neuroprotective properties in various neurodegenerative diseases. It regulates key processes, such as oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, synaptic plasticity and myelination, all crucial for maintaining neuronal ...
