Objectives: Smoking is considered a major risk factor for periodontitis genesis and progression. In clinical studies, specific indicators have been used to characterize the smoking status of the patient as the number of cigarettes consumed (NCC), the pack-years (PY), or Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND). However, available literature is missing on the relationship between cotinine gingival intoxication and smoking indicators.

Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the influence of three materials commonly used in implant dentistry, namely titanium (Ti), dental adhesive resin (Re) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK), on the peri-implant soft tissues.
Methods: In this clinical randomised comparative study, 37 bone-level implants were placed, and experimental transmucosal healing abutments made of different materials were randomly assigned to each implant.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to address the growing issue of frailty in aging populations by analyzing its incidence, prevalence, and impact on healthcare demand and costs.
- Researchers conducted a retrospective observational study using routine health data from England and Wales to model frailty dynamics and inform service planning.
- Key findings will aid in developing guidelines and tools for healthcare commissioning, ultimately improving care for older people living with frailty.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate and improve structured postgraduate part-time programs in periodontology within the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP), focusing on peri-implant diseases and the impact of recent classification schemes and guidelines.
- A survey and systematic review were conducted to assess current educational programs and identify gaps in knowledge regarding prevention and management of peri-implant diseases among dental professionals.
- The results revealed established programs in nine EFP countries and proposed a three-level framework (certificate, diploma, master) to enhance vocational education and harmonize training across nations.
Microglial cells are the phagocytic cells of the brain that under physiological conditions participate in brain homeostasis and surveillance. Under pathogenic states, microglia undergoes strong morphological and transcriptional changes potentially leading to sustained neuroinflammation, brain damage, and cognitive disorders. Postnatal and adult Zika virus (ZIKV) brain infection is characterized by the induction of reactive microglia associated with brain inflammation, synapse loss and neuropathogenesis.
