Promising potential effects of resveratrol on oral and dental health maintenance: a comprehensive review.

Resveratrol (RV-3, 5, 4'-trihydroxystilbene) is a natural compound found in plants like red grapes, berries, and peanuts, with promising effects on dental health. It helps strengthen tooth enamel by promoting remineralization, making the teeth more resistant to decay caused by acid-producing bacteria. RV also shields dentin, a vulnerable layer beneath the enamel, from erosion and sensitivity.

The role of periodontitis in cancer development, with a focus on oral cancers.

Periodontitis is a severe gum infection that begins as gingivitis and can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and tooth loss if left untreated. It is primarily caused by bacterial infection, which triggers inflammation and the formation of periodontal pockets. Notably, periodontitis is associated with systemic health issues and has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, respiratory diseases, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and cancers.

Cell homing strategy as a promising approach to the vitality of pulp-dentin complexes in endodontic therapy: focus on potential biomaterials.

Introduction: Over the last two decades, an increasing body of research suggests that well-designed biomaterials can attract resident stem cells to injured areas and control their behaviors and activities to encourage tissue regeneration. Fabricated biomaterials can enhance cell recruitment, multiplication, and transformation while also acting as a delivery system for targeted cells. These capabilities might play a role in their ability to promote tooth regeneration.
