Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections affect periodontal health during accelerated orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) compared to traditional methods.
- 40 participants were randomly assigned to either a PRP-injected treatment group or a control group to analyze clinical and biochemical periodontal parameters over a 12-week period.
- Results showed no significant differences in periodontal health indicators or salivary enzyme levels between the two groups, indicating that PRP does not provide notable benefits in orthodontic treatment outcomes.
Background Soft tissue augmentation is a critical procedure in dental implantology aimed at improving peri-implant health and aesthetics. Various materials are used for this purpose, but their comparative effectiveness remains under-researched. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of soft tissue augmentation utilizing two different materials after tooth extraction on peri-implant clinical and radiographic outcomes.

Methods And Results: We examined 48 primary tonsillar carcinoma samples (25 HPV-16 DNA-positive, 23 HPV-16 DNA-negative) and their respective lymph node metastases for their HPV status and for the expression of p16, epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin), β-catenin, and vimentin.
