Oro-facial clefts are one of the most common birth defects and may be associated with other genetic anomalies. Aggressive periodontitis is a rare condition that progresses rapidly, but affects only a small percentage of the population. Most of the cases of aggressive periodontitis are familial. Even though, literature has documented the association of various genetic disorders with aggressive periodontitis, the aggressive periodontitis in patients with isolated cleft lip (CL) have never been addressed. Here, we report a rare case of isolated CL with generalized aggressive periodontitis. The concomitant presentation of isolated CL with aggressive periodontitis in an individual has clinical significance for multi-disciplinary care.

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.

Periodontitis is a biofilm-induced chronic inflammatory disease that, if left untreated, can result in alveolar bone and tooth loss. Intrabony defects and furcation involvement (FI) are particularly difficult to manage, as they often persist after step 1 and step 2 periodontal therapy. In this case, we report a relatively novel therapeutic approach to managing deep furcation involvement in the first mandibular right molar (#46).

Objectives: LTF SNP rs1126478 (T>C) could modulate Lactoferrin function and release and has been associated with periodontal disease in different locations before, but not in America. Thus, this study aimed to assess the association between this SNP and Grade C Periodontitis (Generalized (PerioC-G) and Molar Incisor Pattern (PerioC-MIP)) and seek a relationship between its presence and LTF gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) production.
Material And Methods: Oral cells from 361 Brazilians and 375 North Americans patients (Diseased and Health Controls (PH) from both locations) were collected.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are proteinases released by gingival cells, macrophages and neutrophils, induced by potentially pathogenic periodontal bacteria of the subgingival plaque, which play a critical role in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease. The expression of MMPs is controlled by chromosome 11. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are linked with variations in the secretion of MMPs, resulting in periodontal disease progression.

Design: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis that assesses systemic antimicrobials: azithromycin (AZT) and amoxicillin/metronidazole (AMX/MTZ), as adjuvants to subgingival instrumentation in the treatment of periodontitis. The aim is to establish if one antimicrobial is superior as an adjuvant therapy in the management of periodontal disease.
Study Selection: This systematic review and meta-analysis included randomised controlled trials (RCTs), controlled clinical trials, and prospective and retrospective human studies.
