Recent decades have brought significant progress in understanding the role of cytokines in many aspects of the development of periodontal disease associated with systemic disorders and increased risk of oral cancer. A thorough search of articles was carried out on the databases PubMed on the association of periodontal disease and obstetric pathologies, systemic diseases and cancer. Refs cited are examples of support already common idea that periodontal disease may affect the initiation and/or development of serious pathological conditions. Drawn from the literature review findings confirm that chronic untreated periodontal inflammatory processes have their own important part in promoting systemic diseases and also are associated with an increased risk of developing cancer diseases.

Alveolar bone defects have always been an urgent problem in the oral cavity. For some patients with periodontal disease or undergoing orthodontic treatment or implant restoration, alveolar bone defects can greatly inconvenience clinical diagnosis and treatment. Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) are considered a promising source for stem cell therapy due to their high osteogenic differentiation capability.

Background: The progression and severity of periodontitis (PD) are associated with the release of extracellular vesicles by periodontal tissue cells. However, the precise mechanisms through which exosome-related genes (ERGs) influence PD remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role and potential mechanisms of key exosome-related genes in PD using transcriptome profiling at the single-cell level.

Aim: To explore the potential roles of mitochondrial dysfunction in the initiation of inflammation in periodontal macrophages and to determine the mechanism underlying the involvement of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) in macrophage inflammatory responses through its interaction with hexokinase 1 (HK1).
Materials And Methods: Gingival tissues were collected from patients diagnosed with periodontitis or from healthy volunteers. Drp1 tetramer formation and phosphorylation were analysed using western blot.

Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) play a critical role in the regeneration of periodontal tissue. Forkhead box protein A1 (FOXA1) has been implicated in the inflammatory mechanisms of various diseases. However, the role of FOXA1 in periodontal inflammation and its effect on the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs remains unclear.

Background Patients with diabetes have an increased risk of developing periodontal diseases. Periodontal treatment also improves glycemic control. Therefore, regular dental consultations and checkups are important.
