Background: the purpose of this systematic review was to assess the clinical and radiographic effect of subgingival-administered statins as an adjunct periodontal treatment in patients with periodontitis.
Methods: Electronic literature searches in Medline/PubMed and the Cochrane Library were conducted to identify all relevant articles. Eligibility was based on inclusion criteria which included Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) published after 2010, where the periodontal variables were assessed before and after periodontal treatment in combination with a statin administration.
Coal tar pitch (CTP) is a residue formed from the distillation of coal tar and is widely used as a carbonizable and graphitizable binder for many industrial applications. However, CTP is fossil-derived and has recently been classified as a "sunset" status material under REACH due to its toxicity, which makes finding a sustainable alternative vital. In this work, bio-oil was synthesized from the pyrolysis of fresh eucalyptus sawdust, from which wood tar biopitch (WTB) was subsequently produced by a second distillation process.

Article Synopsis
- * Research methods included both prospective and retrospective screening techniques, such as PCR, real-time PCR, and scanning electron microscopy, to analyze the prevalence of TM7 in different human samples.
- * Findings revealed that TM7 were most common in oral samples, with lower prevalence in other bodily fluids, and even found in some infectious samples, highlighting their status as human commensals and suggesting the need for more research on their potential role in disease contexts.
