Aims: The microbial profiles of peri-implantitis and periodontitis (PT) are inconclusive. The controversies mainly arise from the differences in sampling sites, targeted gene fragment, and microbiome analysis techniques. The objective of this study was to explore the microbiomes of peri-implantitis (PI), control implants (CI), PT and control teeth (CT), and the microbial change of PI after nonsurgical treatment (PIAT).

- - This study explored the link between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and periodontitis by examining periodontal health, serum markers, and the oral microbiome in 20 AD patients and 20 healthy controls.
- - Findings revealed that AD patients had greater clinical attachment loss and elevated levels of certain biomarkers (like Tau proteins and anti-P. gingivalis LPS antibodies) compared to healthy subjects, indicating a potential relationship between these factors.
- - The research suggests that periodontal infections and specific oral bacteria might be associated with AD, highlighting the need for larger, longer-term studies to further investigate these connections.
Background: Spontaneous abortion, or miscarriage, is a complication of pregnancy which can severely affect women both physically and psychologically. We investigated the associations of periodontitis and periodontopathic bacteria with spontaneous abortion.
Methods: We conducted a matched case-control study in two tertiary hospitals in Khon Kaen, Thailand.
Objective: To evaluate the association between oral health and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) among critically ill patients.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted among 162 critically ill patients newly intubated and treated with mechanical ventilator in one tertiary hospital in Thailand. Oral health status was assessed using Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT), Plaque Index (PI), and number of teeth.
Background: It was reported that patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) exhibited increased levels of anticardiolipin (anti-CL) antibodies, a class of antiphospholipid antibodies associated with thrombosis. β2-glycoprotein I (β2GPI) has been considered as the actual target antigen for anti-CL antibodies. This study investigates the association of periodontal infection with anti-CL antibodies in patients with SLE.
