Article Synopsis
- Effective management of unique anatomical structures, like the nasopalatine canal, is crucial for implant success, and topical oral oxygen therapy (TOOT) has emerged as a promising treatment due to its antibacterial and healing properties.
- A case involving a 33-year-old male showed postoperative palatal necrosis treated with TOOT gel after surgical intervention for a deficient maxillary ridge.
- The patient experienced significant healing within 12 days and complete recovery by day 34, suggesting TOOT with active oxygen gel can enhance wound healing in dental procedures.
Aim: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) hold significant potential in guiding clinical decision making, yet their utilization in periodontal trials has been limited. This systematic review aimed to critically synthesize and analyse qualitative studies that evaluated the knowledge and impact of periodontitis and its treatment on patients' lives, as well as their motivations, expectations and experiences in seeking treatment.
Materials And Methods: Six databases were searched up to March 2024 for qualitative studies on periodontitis patients.
Aim: To identify serum- and salivary-derived inflammatory biomarkers of periodontitis progression and determine their response to non-surgical treatment.
Materials And Methods: Periodontally healthy (H; n = 113) and periodontitis patients (P; n = 302) were monitored bi-monthly for 1 year without therapy. Periodontitis patients were re-examined 6 months after non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT).
Aim: Metronidazole (MTZ) is an antimicrobial agent used to treat anaerobic infections. It has been hypothesized that MTZ may also have anti-inflammatory properties, but the evidence is limited and has not been previously reviewed. Thus, this scoping review aimed to answer the following question: "What is the evidence supporting anti-inflammatory properties of metronidazole that are not mediated by its antimicrobial effects?"
Methods: A scoping review was conducted according to the PRISMA-ScR statement.
How efficacious is the combination of substitute bone graft with autogenous bone graft in comparison with substitute bone graft alone in the horizontal bone gain? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

August 2022
Background: A systematic review (SR) was conducted to answer the following focused question based on PICO strategy: In patients who were submitted to horizontal guided bone regeneration, "how efficacious is the combination of substitute bone graft with autogenous bone graft in comparison with substitute bone graft alone, in terms of bone gain?"
Material And Methods: MEDLINE (PubMed), Scopus, Embase, Web of Science databases were searched, and hand searches were made up to June 2021, to find randomized clinical trials comparing the clinical effects of autogenous bone graft + substitute bone graft versus substitute bone graft alone in the treatment of horizontal guided bone regeneration.
Results: Four trials representing 109 individuals were included. All studies included in this SR used allogeneic bone graft.
