Aggressive periodontitis renders a great challenge to clinicians with regards to treatment and prosthodontic rehabilitation. A compromised remaining dentition and a tendency toward refractory disease make it difficult to establish a treatment plan that renders an adequate long-term prognosis. Although the use of implants has become a common treatment modality, limited data are available on the use of dental implants in patients with aggressive periodontitis, especially for cases necessitating the use grafting procedures preceding implant placement. In this case report the successful treatment of a patient with aggressive periodontitis by the combined use of periodontal and implant treatment necessitating preceding augmentive procedures is described.

This systematic review assesses and compares the presence and relative abundance of periodontal pathogens, human herpesviruses (HHVs), and fungi in subgingival and/or saliva samples from pediatric subjects (≤18 years of age) with periodontally healthy status and with gingivitis and/or periodontitis. The study protocol was conducted under the PRISMA statement and registered on PROSPERO (CRD42024593007). Data from seven studies were descriptively analyzed and qualitatively assessed through the ROBINS-1 and JBI tools.

Background/objectives: The gold standard in the non-surgical treatment of periodontitis is scaling and root planning (SRP). In recent years, studies have emerged suggesting additional clinical benefits from the use of statins as an adjunct to classical periodontal disease treatment. The aim of the present study was to review the relevant literature relating to the subgingival use of statins as an adjunctive treatment to the classical, non-surgical treatment of periodontitis, with a particular focus on groups with general factors that may affect the outcome of treatment.

Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) is a keystone pathogen in periodontitis, a highly prevalent disease manifested by chronic inflammation of the periodontium, alveolar bone resorption and tooth loss. During periodontitis pathobionts such as Pg can enter the bloodstream and growing evidence correlates periodontitis with increased risk of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. However, the mechanism by which immune cells respond to Pg challenge in vivo remains elusive.

Aggressive periodontitis is an inflammation of the periodontal tissue that usually affects adolescents and young adults aged <30 years, caused by attachment loss and fast bone degradation. The correlation between the epigenetic status and the initiation and progression of numerous acquired diseases was documented. Consequently, targeting epigenetic factors within periodontal tissues stands as an appealing prospect for both the diagnosis and treatment of periodontitis.
