Article Synopsis
- Periodontal surgery often requires dressings for protection and healing, with common options like noneugenol packs having drawbacks such as plaque buildup and minimal healing benefits.
- Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membranes promote faster healing due to their growth factors but typically require sutures for stability.
- This case report explores the use of PRF membranes combined with N-butyl cyanoacrylate adhesive as a promising alternative to traditional dressings, potentially eliminating the need for suturing.
Background: Pit and fissure sealants are the most commonly used preventive measure against caries in permanent molars. Advancements in dental materials have led to the development of hydrophilic sealants. However, their clinical efficacy must be evaluated and compared with that of conventional hydrophobic sealants.

- - The systematic review assesses the role of vitamin D (specifically cholecalciferol) in periodontal health, indicating that while there's a recognized connection, the current literature shows significant variability and gaps in research findings.
- - A thorough search across multiple databases led to the evaluation of 1883 papers, ultimately narrowing it down to four studies that meet the inclusion criteria for assessing vitamin D's impact on oral health.
- - The review highlights vitamin D's dual role in oral health: supporting bone metabolism and acting as an anti-inflammatory agent, while also stressing the need for more consistent and high-quality research on the topic.
