Background: Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic, relapsing, systemic vasculitis of unknown aetiology. The involvement of oral mucosal surfaces represents the onset feature of the disease in the majority of patients.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the periodontal status of BD patients and then compare with recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) patients and healthy controls. We also determined the relationship between the periodontal condition and the clinical severity of the disease in BD patients.
Methods: Eighty-six patients with BD, 63 patients with RAS and 82 healthy subjects were included in the study. The periodontal status of all subjects was evaluated according to the community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN). BD patients were also assessed for clinical severity score (CSS) as described previously.
Results: The mean CPITN were observed to be higher in BD patients (1.79 +/- 0.96) compared with RAS patients (1.22 +/- 0.87) and healthy controls (1.18 +/- 0.98) (p<0.001). There was a positive association between CSS and CPITN (p=0.017) in BD patients.
Conclusion: Our results showed that periodondal status is worse in BD patients and associated with disease severity. We can speculate that periodontitis may induce a systemic inflammatory process that may contribute to the development and/or progression of BD.

Background: The association between brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and periodontitis has remained unclear.
Methods: This research included adult participants from NHANES cycles 2009-2014. Survey-weighted generalized linear regressions were used to explore the associations between BFR exposure and periodontitis.
Hearing Impairment in Oral Submucous Fibrosis: A Systematic Review.

Article Synopsis
- Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a serious condition associated with areca nut chewing, linked to dental health and possibly hearing impairment, prompting a need for investigation into its effects on hearing.
- A systematic review of 1137 articles identified 18 studies showing a significant correlation between OSMF severity and hearing loss, particularly conductive hearing loss in advanced cases.
- The review highlighted that Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) often contributes to hearing issues in OSMF patients, emphasizing the importance of multidisciplinary management and early audiological screening for better patient outcomes.

To explore the distribution characteristics of glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1 (Gli1) positive cells during orthodontic tooth movement process and conduct a proteomic analysis of these cells. Forty Gli1-LacZ transgenic mice were used to establish an in orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) model for labeling Gli1 positive cells in Gli1-LacZ transgenic mice (OTM group) and an unforced control group, with tooth movement distance measured using micro-CT. The spatial relationship and distribution characteristics of Gli1 positive cells and H-type vessels of CD31 and endomucin (EMCN) in periodontal tissues were detected by immunofluorescence staining.

Introduction: The periodontal ligament (PDL), a dynamic connective tissue that anchors teeth to the alveolar bone, enables tooth retention and facilitates continuous turnover. The integrity of the periodontium is maintained by periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), whose dysfunction and senescence with age can disrupt tissue homeostasis, hinder injury repair, and lead to tooth loss, ultimately impacting overall health. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is known for its regenerative properties and as a functional paracrine factor in stem cell therapy, but its precise role in modulating PDLSC activity remains controversial and poorly understood.
