Objectives: This study assessed the influence of different voxel resolutions of two different CBCT units on the in vitro detection of periodontal defects.
Methods: The study used 12 dry skulls with a maxilla and a mandible. Artificial defects (dehiscence, tunnel, fenestration) were separately created on the anterior, premolar and molar teeth using burrs. A total of 14 dehiscences, 13 fenestrations, 8 tunnels and 16 non-defect controls were used in the study. Images were obtained from two different CBCT units in six voxel sizes (voxel size: 0.080, 0.100, 0.125, 0.150, 0.160 and 0.200 mm3). Kappa coefficients were calculated to assess both intra- and interobserver agreements for each image set.
Results: Overall intraobserver kappa coefficients ranged between 0.978 and 0.973 for the 0.080-mm3 images and between 0.751 and 0.737 for the 0.160-mm3 images, suggesting notably high intraobserver agreement for detecting periodontal defects. CBCT performed significantly better at detecting fenestrations (p<0.05) than tunnel and dehiscence defects. No statistically significant difference was found between the detection of dehiscence and tunnel defects (p>0.05).
Conclusions: A voxel size of 0.150 mm3 was identified as the cut-off point for overall detection of periodontal defects. CBCT should be considered the most reliable imaging modality for the diagnosis of periodontal defects.

Immediate orthodontic treatment after regeneration of periodontal intrabony defects: A long-term retrospective study.
J Dent Sci

Department of Dentistry, Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital, Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation, New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Background/purpose: Orthodontic movement is often necessary for periodontally compromised patients to enhance esthetics, function, and long-term occlusal stability. However, the impact of orthodontic treatment immediately following the regeneration of intrabony defects on periodontal healing remains a topic of debate. The objective of this long-term case series study was to test the hypothesis that orthodontic treatment performed immediately after regenerative procedures for periodontal intrabony defects did not adversely affect periodontal healing.

Background: Tissue engineering for bone regeneration aims to heal severe bone injuries. This study aimed to prepare and assess the early osteogenic differentiation effects of a gelatin/calcium phosphate- Punica granatum nanocomposite scaffold on stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous (SHED) and human dental pulp stem cells (HDPSCs).
Methods: The electrospinning method was used to prepare a gelatin/calcium phosphate nanocomposite scaffold containing pomegranate (Punica granatum) extract.
A BiO-Optimizing Site Targeted (BOOST) Approach to Periodontal Regeneration Through Local Doxycycline Prior to Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
J Periodontal Res
January 2025
Department of Surgical Sciences, C.I.R. Dental School, University of Turin, Turin, Italy.
Aim: To test a BiO-Optimizing Site Targeted (BOOST) approach to periodontal regeneration by the adjunctive use of locally delivered doxycycline (DOX) 2 weeks prior to minimally invasive surgery in terms of clinical and radiographic outcomes at 1 year.
Methods: For this randomized clinical trial, stage III/IV periodontitis patients presenting sites with intrabony defects and bleeding on probing (BoP+) after steps 1-2 of periodontal treatment were included. Sites were treated via subgingival instrumentation with or without a BOOST approach by local DOX.

This case report discusses the successful management of a deep palatal developmental groove associated with Stage III generalized Grade C periodontitis. Despite prior nonsurgical periodontal therapy, the disease progressed rapidly, necessitating further intervention. A comprehensive evaluation revealed generalized periodontitis with localized tooth-related predisposing factor due to a developmental groove in the vital upper left lateral incisor.

Background: Celiac disease (CD) is a systemic disorder characterized by an enteropathy of highly variable clinical expression, in which the relationship with oral pathology has not yet been fully elucidated. We aimed to update the current knowledge on oral manifestations in CD, to identify evidence gaps and to point out future research lines.
Material And Methods: PRISMA-ScR guidelines were followed.
