Article Synopsis
- - Periodontal disease (PD) is a chronic inflammatory condition related to oral health that affects 19% of adults globally, and there's concern that it may increase preterm birth risks in pregnant women due to inflammation and immune responses.
- - A systematic review involving five clinical trials with 1,984 pregnant patients assessed whether non-surgical treatment for PD could prevent preterm births, revealing that most studies leaned towards treatment being beneficial but lacked significant statistical evidence.
- - Ultimately, the research found no strong association between PD and preterm birth rates in pregnant women, although there was a slight suggestion that treatment could be advantageous.
Numerous studies in the literature have aimed to evaluate the difficulty level of removing third molars. However, most of these studies have focused on the lower third molars, which can lead to complications. There is a lack of a method to determine the complexity of upper third molar extraction.

This study aims to obtain, using the mathematical method of multiple linear regression, an equation that allows estimating the extraction time of a lower third molar according to its complexity, as well as to validate this equation in a sample of external wisdom teeth.
Methods: A prospective cohort study on a sample of patients of the Master of Oral Surgery of the University of Seville in which multiple linear regression coefficients were calculated with a subsequent validation study of the results in the sample of patients operated in the Hospital Palmaplanas of Mallorca.
(1) Background: Given the existing controversy regarding the use of antibiotics in the treatment of peri-implantitis, this systematic review and meta-analysis aim to ascertain how beneficial the role of systemic and local antibiotics is in peri-implant surgical therapy, considering the harmful effects that they represent and the abuse of antibiotics in terms of global health. (2) Methods: To determine the therapeutic efficacy of the administration of antibiotics in the surgical treatment of peri-implantitis in terms of probing pocket depth (PPD) and bleeding on probing (BoP), electronic and manual bibliographic searches were carried out in the Embase and PubMed databases, collecting data that related to before and after treatment. (3) Results: The adjunctive use of local antibiotics provides significant improvements in PPD (MD = 1.
