Mutanolysin-Digested Peptidoglycan of Promotes the Inhibition of Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Inflammatory Responses through the Regulation of Signaling Cascades via TLR4 Suppression.

Periodontitis is an oral infectious disease caused by various pathogenic bacteria, such as . Although probiotics and their cellular components have demonstrated positive effects on periodontitis, the beneficial impact of peptidoglycan (PGN) from probiotic remains unclear. Therefore, our study sought to investigate the inhibitory effect of PGN isolated from (LrPGN) on -induced inflammatory responses.

Reliability of 2 implant stability measuring methods in assessment of various periimplant bone loss: an in vitro study with the Periotest and Osstell Mentor.

Purpose: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate reliability of the Periotest and Osstell Mentor in assessment of periimplant vertical and circular bone loss.

Materials And Methods: Sixteen dental implants were embedded into acrylic resin blocks. The portion of resin around the implant neck was successively removed to mimic periimplant vertical and circular bone loss.
