Neutrophil extracellular traps in rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis: Contribution of PADI4 gene polymorphisms.
J Clin Periodontol

Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how certain white blood cells called neutrophils release traps (NETs) in people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and healthy individuals, especially in relation to gum health.
- They tested samples from people with RA and periodontitis (gum disease) and found that those with these conditions had more NETs.
- The researchers also found that a specific genetic variation (GTG haplotype) could make some people more likely to release NETs and have worse gum health.
Purpose: Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory disease, characterized by the progressive loss of the peri-implant support bone tissue. The objective of this study was to assess whether implantoplasty is efficacious in promoting peri-implant health.
Methods: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, a search without restrictions regarding language or date of publication was conducted across different databases.
Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disease that often affects the anogenital area and causes significant discomfort and morbidity. Oral mucosal lesions in LS are extremely rare and might be associated with genital and/or skin manifestations. As a unique manifestation of LS, oral lesions are even more rare, with only 20 cases reported in English-language literature.
