Expression of osteopontin and osteocalcin in Osteoblast cells exposed to a combination of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and hydroxyapatite (HAp): A prospective observational study.

The success of implant placement will depend on the ability of the implant material to integrate with the surrounding tissue. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) has been used as an implant material, but it has several fallback properties in its interaction with bone tissue. The addition of hydroxyapatite (HAp) to PMMA is expected to produce reinforced bioceramic polymers with better mechanical and biological properties.

Antibacterial effect of a gingival patch containing nano-emulsion of red dragon fruit peel extract on , and assessed .

Background: The most common bacteria causing periodontitis were and . At present, plants are considered a valuable source of natural materials for use in the development of antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents. or red dragon fruit peel extract (RDFPE) contains terpenoids, and flavonoids can be an alternative.

The EGCG and α-Mangosteen Stimulate SHED-IL10 and SHED-LL37 Metabolite Concentration.

Objective:  Stem cells of human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) metabolites are secreted molecules from SHED, namely cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors. The metabolite can be used in various regenerative therapy based on cell-free immunomodulatory potential effects, like interleukin 10 (IL-10) and LL37. This molecule can stimulate with epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and α-mangosteen and has been proven to have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects.

The use of mucoadhesive oral patches containing epigallocatechin-3-gallate to treat periodontitis: an in vivo study.

Objectives: The application of topical drugs such as mucoadhesive oral patches (MOPs) do not irritate the mucosa and are able to increase the permeability of drugs to oral tissue. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is an active ingredient that exhibits significant antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. The purpose of this study was to analyze the therapeutic potential of a mucoadhesive oral patch containing EGCG (MOP-EGCG) in a model of periodontitis and investigate its effects on the expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa Β ligand (RANKL) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (RANK).

The ability of mucoadhesive gingival patch loaded with EGCG on IL-6 and IL-10 expression in periodontitis.

Objectives: The mucoadhesive gingival patch is a topical drug delivery process it does not cause any irritation in the mucosa. EGCG (Epigallocatechin-3-gallate) it has potent antioxidant, antiangiogenic and antitumor effects. The present study investigates the ability of mucoadhesive gingival patch loaded with EGCG on periodontitis and its impact on IL-6 and IL-10 expression.

Gingival Mesenchymal Stem Cells Metabolite Decreasing TRAP, NFATc1, and Sclerostin Expression in LPS-Associated Inflammatory Osteolysis In Vivo.

Objective:  Bone is a dynamic tissue that undergoes remodeling. During bone remodeling, there are transcription factors such as nuclear factor-activated T cells-1 (NFATc1), sclerostin, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) that are released for bone resorption. Metabolite from gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) has the ability to activate proliferation, migration, immunomodulation, and tissue regeneration of bone cells and tissues.

Anti-Periodontopathogenic Ability of Mangrove Leaves (Aegiceras corniculatum) Ethanol Extract: In silico and in vitro study.

Objective:  Mangrove () is an abundant natural marine resource of Indonesia, which can be explored for treating periodontal disease due to its potential as immunoregulatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. The objective of this study was to investigate the active compound from Indonesian mangrove leaf extract () (MLE) for developing a herbal-based mouthwash through and studies.

Materials And Methods:  Phytochemistry and liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) were done to explore the active compounds in MLE.

Cytokines and Chemokines in Periodontitis.

Periodontitis is a common inflammatory periodontal disease affecting a wide range of population all over the world. The causing bacteria releases chemicals which activate the innate immune system to release proinflammatory cytokines contributing to more progression. This activates the acquired immune system leading to more progression of periodontitis.

Effect of lipopolysaccharide derived from surabaya isolates on alveolar bone destruction.

Background: lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has a high virulence factor. It interacts with serum protein through receptors on the epithelial cell surface, thereby increasing both interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 which results in damage to periodontal tissue.

Aim: The aim of the study was to identify and evaluate the effect of LPS derived from local isolates ( on the destruction of alveolar bone by means of several biomarkers, including; the number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, the expression of IL-6, matrix metallopeptidase 1 (MMP-1), and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL).
