Tempol Protects Against Radiation Injury in the Submandibular Gland Through the β‐Catenin Signaling Pathway

Journal of Oral Pathology &Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Radiation damage severely impacts salivary gland function and cell survival, especially in head and neck radiotherapy. Tempol (TPL), a free radical scavenger, has shown protective effects against radiation damage. This research aimed to investigate the protective effects of TPL on radiation‐induced damage in Hs917.T cells and the ...

Influence of nanohydroxyapatite mouthwash on the growth of Candida albicans biofilm on milled denture surfaces: An in vitro study

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose There is a need for effective solutions for the persistent prevalence of denture stomatitis (DS) in denture‐wearing populations. This study assessed the impact of nanohydroxyapatite (nanoHAP) nanoparticles on Candida albicans biofilm formation on milled polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) denture bases.

Target Trial Emulation in Observational Research—Strengths, Limitations, and Methodological Considerations

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The target trial framework is a pragmatic roadmap for observational causal inference that clarifies questions, mitigates time‐related bias, and improves interpretability while acknowledging limits. With transparent protocols, appropriate methods, and suitable data, it can complement randomized trials and inform practice and policy.
