Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate any association between irregular teeth and periodontal breakdown among children who attend dental clinics regularly.
Methods: The subjects were 80 children (39 females and 41 males) with a mean age of 12.38 +/- 0.75 years. Each subject had an alginate impression in the mandibular arch, periapical radiographs for the lower incisor teeth and clinical examination for periodontal health. Plaque accumulation, gingival condition and probing depth, bone level and status of lower incisor teeth contact areas were recorded. Spearman correlation test was used to observe any relationship between the clinical variables.
Results: The average probing depth, gingival index and plaque index scores in the subjects studied were 1.3 +/- 0.25, 0.99 +/- 0.28 and 1.17 +/- 0.52 respectively. The average number of sites with labiolingual displacement with mesiodistal overlap was 1.81 +/- 1.30 and those without mesiodistal overlap was 1.39 +/- 1.10. The average number of contact areas with spacing was 0.59 +/- 1.23. The correlation observed between irregularity and periodontal health indicated no association between the number and type of displacement and plaque accumulation, gingivitis, attachment loss and alveolar bone level.
Conclusion: There was no association between irregularity of teeth and periodontal diseases in presence of good oral hygiene.

Early periodontitis diagnosis is challenging due to varying staging and grading systems. While clinical parameters like bleeding on probing (BoP) and pocket depth (PD) are commonly used, periapical radiographs provide valuable information about bone loss and periodontal ligament changes. However, a clear definition of early periodontitis, particularly regarding alveolar bone crest changes, remains elusive.

Background: Bruxism may cause increased alveolar bone thickness and density and irregular enlargement of the periodontal space.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the mandibular bone quality using radio-morphometric indices and Fractal Dimension (FD) analysis in orthopantomography (OPG).
Material And Methods: OPGs of 100 patients, 50 bruxers and 50 non-bruxers, were included in this study.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the presence of a specific pathogen and its JP2 genotype in 200 Western Australians with periodontitis.
- A total of 220 patients provided various oral samples for analysis, which showed a 28.18% prevalence of the pathogen, with higher rates in unstimulated saliva compared to cheek swabs and subgingival plaque.
- Key risk factors for severe periodontitis included younger age, positive family history of periodontal disease, poor oral hygiene, and irregular dental visits, while no JP2 genotype was detected in the cohort.

Periodontitis is a severe gum infection characterized by inflammation of the tissues surrounding the teeth. The disease is challenging to manage due to its exposure to a wet and dynamic oral environment, where conventional hydrogels often suffer from weak adhesion, short residence time, and vulnerability to bacterial invasion. In this study, an innovative hydrogel system based on in situ light curing is proposed.
