Meta-analyses on the Periodontal Archaeome.

Recently, we have published a scoping review on the oral archaeome, showing that these microorganisms inhabit various oral niches, including periodontal sites. In order to reinforce the importance of the Archaea domain and alert the scientific community about the importance of inter-domain relationships in oral dysbiosis, we have performed meta-analyses evaluating the prevalence of archaea in periodontal diseases (PROSPERO protocol: CRD42020213109). A systematic search in the literature was conducted in several databases and in grey literature, retrieving 30 reports on periodontal archaeome, published from 1980 to 2020.

Trabecular and cortical mandibular bone investigation in familial adenomatous polyposis patients.

Mandibular cortical and trabecular bone abnormalities in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) were evaluated using dental panoramic radiographs (DPR) radiomorphometric indices and fractal dimension (FD). Sixty DPRs from 15 FAP patients and 45 healthy controls were evaluated. FAP group was composed of 33.
