Background: This study aimed to assess and compare the concentrations of growth factors, white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets in injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) derived from people with healthy periodontal conditions and those with chronic periodontitis.
Methods: Venous blood samples were obtained from 30 patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis (test group) and 30 participants with healthy periodontal conditions (control group). The i-PRF was then acquired from centrifuged blood.
Among the sensory properties of foods, texture perception is a complex modality due to catastrophic changes during eating. Relating dental conditions and capacity of texture sensation are still paucities in the literature. Different dental areas emphasize the difference in texture sensation.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated inflammatory and microbial factors related to different types of dental implant surfaces used in patients, focusing on TNF-α, PGE2, RANK, RANKL, OPG, and specific bacteria.
- A total of 71 implants from 37 patients were classified into three groups based on surface characteristics: SLA, fluorine-modified, and anodized, with various clinical indices and microbial levels measured.
- Results showed no significant differences in clinical indices across the groups, but certain bacteria levels were higher in anodized surfaces, suggesting that SLA and fluorine-modified surfaces might have better clinical outcomes.
