The Use of Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cells (MSC) for Periodontal and Peri-implant Regeneration: Scoping Review.

The necessity for regenerating peri-implant and periodontal tissues is increasingly apparent. Periodontal diseases can result in a significant loss of clinical attachment level, and tissue regeneration stands as the ultimate goal of periodontal therapy. With the rise of osseointegration, the prosthetic rehabilitation of missing teeth using dental implants has surged, leading to a frequent need for alveolar bone regeneration around implants.

Is there an effective way to control pain perception after free gingival graft removal? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The literature describes multiple ways to stimulate wound healing to reduce the patient's perception of pain. This systematic review aimed to evaluate if methods that enhance wound healing can reduce the patient's perception of pain after free gingival graft removal from the palate region compared to natural healing. A systematic review protocol was written following the PRISMA checklist.

Comparing the Long-Term Success Rates of Tooth Preservation and Dental Implants: A Critical Review.

Implant therapy is considered a predictable, safe, and reliable rehabilitation method for edentulous patients in most clinical scenarios. Thus, there is a growing trend in the indications for implants, which seems attributable not only to their clinical success but also to arguments such as a more "simplified approach" based on convenience or the belief that dental implants are as good as natural teeth. Therefore, the objective of this critical literature review of observational studies was to discuss the evidence concerning the long-term survival rates and treatment outcomes, comparing endodontically or periodontally treated teeth with dental implants.
