Background: A large number of older people depend on others for help with their daily personal care, including oral health care. Nursing home and elder-care staff often face challenges identifying older people, who are exposed to or at an increased risk of oral diseases. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify risk factors that non-dental care staff can use to identify older people at risk of oral diseases and poor oral hygiene.

Objective: Autophagy plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of periodontitis, yet its precise involvement in the disease process remains elusive. The aim of the present study was thus to investigate the involvement of autophagy in the pathology of periodontitis. This investigation involved transcriptomic analysis of a broad range of human samples and complemented by in vitro experimentation.

Background: There is an ongoing controversy regarding the expression of vitamin D receptor (VDR) and binding protein (VDBP) genes, as well as their polymorphisms, in periodontitis. We examined eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and performed a transcriptome-level bioinformatics analysis to clarify their relationship with periodontitis.
Methods: To explore VDR and VDBP polymorphisms, 600 subjects were included, including 307 patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) and 293 healthy controls.
