Prevalence and Associated Factors for Periodontal Disease among Type I and II Diabetes Mellitus Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study.

In Saudi Arabia, the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is high. DM is a risk factor for periodontal disease. The current study aimed to estimate the prevalence and potential associated factors for periodontitis among type I and II DM patients in Abha, Saudi Arabia.

Future Drug Targets in Periodontal Personalised Medicine-A Narrative Review.

Periodontal disease is an infection-driven inflammatory disease characterized by the destruction of tooth-supporting tissues. The establishment of chronic inflammation will result in progressive destruction of bone and soft tissue changes. Severe periodontitis can lead to tooth loss.

Estimation of Soft and Hard Tissue Revolutionization Surrounding Dental Implant: A 2-Year Retrospective Study.

A dental implant is an idyllic mode of operandi for oral rehabilitation for complete and partially edentulous patients. The success of an implant is based on the health of its surrounding tissues. Therefore, the biological and clinical aspects of implant prosthesis and their surrounding tissues must persist to be investigated.

Effect of Antibiotics and Carbohydrate Diet Control Instructions in Improving Glycated Hemoglobin among Type II Diabetic Patients with Periodontitis.

Aim: This study was aimed to assess the effect of the scaling and root planing (SRP) with or without doxycycline and received carbohydrate diet control instructions in improving glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) among type II diabetes mellitus (DM) patients diagnosed with periodontitis.

Materials And Methods: Nonrandomized clinical study design was conducted among 150 patients who were referred to the specialist dental centers in Abha city, between April 2019 and March 2021. The patients were allocated into two groups.

Use of Collagen Membrane in the Treatment of Periodontal Defects Distal to Mandibular Second Molars Following Surgical Removal of Impacted Mandibular Third Molars: A Comparative Clinical Study.

The study aims to assess the efficacy of using collagen membrane in the treatment of distal periodontal defects of mandibular second molars following the removal of mesioangularly or horizontally impacted mandibular third molars surgically. Forty sites in twenty patients with bilaterally impacted mandibular third molars (mesioangular or horizontal) were considered for the study. In 20 test sites (Group A), after surgical removal of the mandibular third molar, a resorbable collagen membrane barrier was placed on the distal aspect of the mandibular second molar to cover the post-surgical bone defect.

The Growth Factors and Cytokines of Dental Pulp Mesenchymal Stem Cell Secretome May Potentially Aid in Oral Cancer Proliferation.

Background: Growth factors and cytokines responsible for the regenerative potential of the dental pulp mesenchymal stem cell secretome (DPMSC-S) are implicated in oral carcinogenesis. The impact and effects of these secretory factors on cancer cells must be understood in order to ensure their safe application in cancer patients.

Objective: We aimed to quantify the growth factors and cytokines in DPMSC-S and assess their effect on oral cancer cell proliferation.

Malondialdehyde, an Oxidative Stress Marker in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: To qualitative and quantitatively review published literature assessing the oxidative stress marker malondialdehyde (MDA) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Methodology: Pubmed (MeSH), Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science, Willey Online Library, Cochrane, and Cross Reference were searched for studies assessing MDA levels in OSCC samples.

Results: From the 1008 articles identified, 849 were excluded based on title and abstract screening due to duplication and irrelevance to the topic of interest.
