Purpose: This study analyzed the association between anti-Ro/SSA and anti-La/SSB antibody levels with quantitative and visual sialoscintigraphy patterns in patients suspected of having Sjögren or sicca syndrome.
Patients And Methods: Medical records of patients who underwent sialoscintigraphy between April 2020 and May 2022 were reviewed. Associations between antibody levels and sialoscintigraphy parameters were evaluated using linear regression.

From the Department of Pharmacological and Pharmaceutical Sciences, College of Pharmacy, University of Houston, Houston, TX (ZZ, JC, SS, VTŠ, TY, RS, MH); School of Dentistry, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, TX (BW).
Objectives: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning about buprenorphine-induced dental caries of unknown mechanism in 2022. To investigate the potential mechanism, the association between local buprenorphine exposure and dental biofilm formation will be explored in this study.
Methods: Female F344 rats were dosed with sublingual buprenorphine film or intravenous injection to explore the oral cavity exposure of the buprenorphine.

Article Synopsis
- Periodontal disease arises from bacterial plaque buildup and immune reactions, possibly leading to conditions like gingivitis and severe periodontitis if not treated.
- The study compared salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) levels between individuals with varying stages of periodontitis and healthy controls, finding significant elevation in sAA among those with periodontitis.
- Results indicate a moderate correlation between sAA levels and clinical measures of periodontal disease, suggesting that elevated sAA could serve as a potential biomarker for assessing disease severity.
