Background: Evidence on the efficacy of calcium sodium phosphosilicate (CSPS) and arginine dentifrices on reducing root sensitivity (RS) following non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) is limited. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of these dentifrices in reducing RS during daily activities in patients undergoing NSPT.

Methods: Using a double-blind randomized controlled trial, CSPS, arginine, or control dentifrices were randomly assigned to 45 RS individuals following NSPT.

Oral tissue regeneration following chronic diseases and injuries is limited by the natural endogenous wound-healing process. Current regenerative approaches implement exogenous systems, including stem cells, scaffolds, growth factors, and plasmid DNA/viral vectors, that induce variable clinical outcomes. An innovative approach that is safe, effective, and inexpensive is needed.

Background: There is no report concerning calcium sodium phosphosilicate (CSPS) and arginine dentifrices in reducing dentine hypersensitivity (DH) in patients undergoing non-surgical periodontal therapy. The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of a dentifrice containing bioactive glass, 5% CSPS, and 8% arginine dentifrice in relieving DH in patients undergoing non-surgical therapy.

Methods: Using a double-blind randomized controlled trial, 45 volunteers with DH following non-surgical therapy were immediately applied with one of three dentifrices containing: 5% CSPS, 8% arginine, or control on DH teeth.

Objectives: To compare the efficacy of calcium sodium phosphosilicate (CSPS) and arginine dentifrices on dentin permeability and acid tolerance.

Material And Methods: Sixty dentin discs were randomly assigned into 3 groups, then brushed for 1 min with CSPS, arginine, or fluoride (control) dentifrices. To test acid tolerance, each disc was soaked in 6% citric acid for 1 min.

Aim: To determine sequences and magnitude of causality among periodontitis, diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) by mediation analysis.

Methods: Ten-year-data were retrieved from the Electric Generation Authority of Thailand (EGAT) study. A cohort of 2,635 subjects was identified with no CKD at baseline.

Background: In the gingival sulcus, effective and balanced innate and adaptive immune responses against subgingival plaque microbiome are crucial to maintain immune homeostasis. In this study, we investigated the memory T cell subsets in healthy gingiva and periodontitis tissues.

Methods: Anatomical localization of T cells (CD3 , CD4 , and CD8 ) in healthy gingiva and periodontitis tissues were examined immunohistochemically.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed human tissue biopsies from healthy gums, gingivitis, and periodontitis to examine the types of B cells present in different periodontal conditions.
  • The findings revealed that during periodontitis, plasma cells (CD19(+)CD27(+)CD38(+)CD138(+)HLA-DR(low)) were the predominant B cell type, particularly located at the base of periodontal pockets, unlike in healthy tissue where memory B cells were more common.
  • Pro-inflammatory molecules that promote B cell activity were found in higher levels in gingivitis and periodontitis tissues, indicating that these conditions foster an immune response largely directed against periodontal pathogens.

Objective: Observational evidence suggests association between periodontitis and atherosclerotic vascular disease (ASVD), however the cause-effect remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the mechanistic link of the two diseases by measuring production of interleukin (IL)-1β, a potent inflammatory cytokine, induced via inflammasome activation by a key periodontal pathogen--Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS and cholesterol crystals (CC).

Methods: An in vitro model of primary human monocyte-derived macrophages (M1 and M2 macrophages) and coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) was employed as a source of inflammasome product-IL-1β.

The calgranulins are a subgroup of proteins in the S100 family (calgranulin A, S100A8; calgranulin B, S100A9 and calgranulin C, S100A12) that provide protective anti-infective and anti-inflammatory functions for the mammalian host. In this review, we discuss the structure-function relationships whereby S100A8 and S100A9, and for comparison, S100A12, provide intra- and extracellular protection during the complex interplay between infection and inflammation and how the calgranulins are regulated to optimally protect the host. Ideally located to support epithelial barrier function, calprotectin, a complex of S100A8/S100A9, is expressed in squamous mucosal keratinocytes and innate immune cells present at mucosal surfaces.

Epithelial cells expressing calprotectin, a heterodimer of S100A8 and S100A9 proteins, are more resistant to bacterial invasion. To determine structural motifs that affect resistance to bacterial invasion, mutations were constructed in S100A9 targeting the calcium-binding loops I and II (E36Q, E78Q, E36Q,E78Q) and the C terminus (S100A9(1-99) and S100A9(1-112)), which contains putative antimicrobial zinc-binding and phosphorylation sites. The S100A8 and mutated S100A9 encoding plasmids were transfected into calprotectin-negative KB carcinoma cells.

Background: Polyclonal B-cell activation induced by periodontopathic bacteria has been cited as being important for elevated numbers of B cells, but the role of bacteria in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease remains unknown. In this study, we used an in vitro model to investigate the activation of immune cells by the periodontopathic bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis in healthy subjects.

Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) or purified subsets of lymphocytes were stimulated with sonicated extracts of P.
