AI Article Synopsis

  • Peri-implantitis is a common complication after dental implant treatment, caused by changes in microbiological activity, necessitating a review of the microorganisms involved and treatment options.
  • A literature review focused on studies published after 2000 about the microbiota in healthy patients versus those with peri-implantitis and explored recent treatment advancements through clinical studies.
  • Findings reveal that the microbiota associated with peri-implantitis is more complex than in healthy conditions, primarily consisting of anaerobic gram-negative bacteria, but there is a lack of clear diagnostic and treatment criteria.

Article Abstract

Introduction: Peri-implantitis is a late complication of dental implant treatment, induced by microbiological changes. Since the disorder is frequent, a review is indicated of the microorganisms that influence it and of the existing treatment options.

Objective: To conduct a literature review of the microbiota associated to peri-implantitis and the existing treatment options.

Material And Method: A PubMed literature search was made of the studies on the microbiota associated to dental implants in healthy patients and patients with peri-implantitis, as well as of the latest treatment developments, using the following key words: "peri-implantitis AND microbiota", "periimplantitis AND microbiota", "peri-implantitis AND treatment", and "periimplantitis AND treatment". Only clinical studies in humans were considered. The following criteria were applied for including articles in the analysis: a) for the peri-implant microbiota, the search limits were human studies after the year 2000; and b) for the treatment of peri-implantitis, the search limits were randomized and controlled clinical trials (RCTs) in humans, with a minimum follow-up of 4 months, and publication after the year 2000.

Results: A total of 18 articles were selected in relation to peri-implant microbiota, and 13 in relation to the treatment of peri-implantitis (8 involving nonsurgical mechanical treatments and 5 surgical procedures).

Conclusions: Evaluation of the literature has shown the microbiota associated to peri-implantitis to be more complex than that found under healthy peri-implant conditions - the main flora consisting of anaerobic gramnegative bacteria. No clear criteria have been identified for the diagnosis and treatment of peri-implantitis.

Changes in the gut microbiota are associated with obesity and may influence weight loss. We are currently implementing a sustained multidisciplinary collaborative weight management (MCWM) approach to weight loss. We report significant improvements in participant health status after 6 months, along with alterations in the structure, interactions, and metabolic functions of the microbiota.

Background: The Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE) aims to re-establish bile flow in biliary atresia (BA); however, BA remains the commonest indication for liver transplantation in pediatrics. Gut microbiota-host interplay is increasingly associated with outcomes in chronic liver disease. This study characterized fecal microbiota and fatty acid metabolites in BA.

Introduction: The gut microbiota has a complex relationship with the human host and is key to maintaining health. Disruption of the healthy diverse gut microbial milieu plays an important role in the pathogenesis of several diseases including infection (CDI), inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, alcohol-related liver disease and metabolic-dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is highly effective in treating CDI, though its utility in other diseases is still being explored.

To unravel distinct pattern of metagenomic surveillance and respiratory microbiota between () P1-1 and P1-2 and to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on epidemiological features, we conducted a multicenter retrospective study which spanned 90,886 pneumonia patients, among which 3,164 cases were identified. Our findings revealed a concurrent outbreak of , with the positivity rate rising sharply to 9.62% from July 2023, compared to the 0.

Background: Little is known about the involvement of gut microbiota in the disease course of diverticulitis and the potential benefits of manipulating the gut milieu. We propose to conduct a randomised placebo-controlled feasibility trial of faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) given as capsules to patients with acute uncomplicated diverticulitis.

Objectives: The objective is primarily to investigate the feasibility of clinical safety, explore efficacy associated with FMT in this patient population, and examine changes in patient-reported quality of life and the composition and function of the gut microbiota.
