Introduction: The purpose of this study was to observe platelet aggregation promoted by biofilms of Streptococcus sanguinis and Porphyromonas gingivalis and to evaluate the effect of two different mouth rinses on this process.
Methodology: In the first experiment, the same amount of S. sanguinis, P. gingivalis, and the S. sanguinis + P. gingivalis mixed solution was added to an equivalent amount of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Aggregation was measured using a recording platelet aggregometer. In the second experiment, S. sanguinis, P. gingivalis, S sanguinis + P. gingivalis mixed solutions were pretreated with either Listerine antiseptic mouth rinse or Xipayi mouth rinse for 3 minutes, 6 minutes, and 10 minutes, respectively. The same amount of solution was added to the PRP, and the inhibition of aggregation was measured.
Results: In the first experiment, S. sanguinis and P. gingivalis were able to induce platelet aggregation. The aggregation rate of S. sanguinis + P. gingivalis was significantly lower than that of either S. sanguinis or P. gingivalis. In the second experiment, when S. sanguinis, P. gingivalis, and the S. sanguinis + P. gingivalis mixed solutions were pretreated with Listerine antiseptic mouth rinse for 3 minutes and Xipayi mouth rinse for 10 minutes, there was no significant platelet aggregation.
Conclusions: Platelets could adhere to S. sanguinis or P. gingivalis, but when S. sanguinis was mixed with P. gingivalis, the aggregation rate was reduced significantly. Treatment with Listerine antiseptic mouth rinse or Xipayi mouth rinse inhibited the ability of the bacteria to induce platelet aggregation.

Periodontitis, a prevalent and chronic inflammatory disease, is intricately linked with macroautophagy/autophagy, which has a dual role in maintaining periodontal homeostasis. Despite its importance, the precise interplay between autophagy and periodontitis pathogenesis remains to be fully elucidated. In this study, our investigation revealed that the ubiquitination of RAB7A, mediated by reduced levels of the deubiquitinating enzyme USP4 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 4), disrupts normal lysosomal trafficking and autophagosome-lysosome fusion, thereby contributing significantly to periodontitis progression.

Article Synopsis
- Peri-implantitis is a disease linked to plaque that can cause the loss of dental implants, with smoking worsening the condition and treatment outcomes.
- The study focused on how nicotine affects inflammation and the growth of bacteria that contribute to peri-implantitis by examining specific markers (AHR, IL-6, IL-22) and through experiments with bacterial suspensions treated with varying nicotine concentrations.
- Results showed that nicotine not only increases the levels of inflammatory markers but also enhances bacterial growth and biofilm formation, indicating that smoking may worsen peri-implantitis progression.

Objectives: Mechanical debridement supplemented with antibacterial agents effectively eradicates subgingival biofilms formed in the periodontal pockets of severe periodontitis patients. However, the available antimicrobial agents have limited penetrating ability to kill the bacteria encased in the deep layers of biofilms. This study aimed to fabricate a novel magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) loaded with rhamnolipid (RL) and vancomycin (Vanc, Vanc/RL-Ag@FeO) to combat subgingival biofilms.

Titanium implants are subject to bacterial adhesion and peri-implantitis induction, and biosurfactants bring a new alternative to the fight against infections. This work aimed to produce and characterize the biosurfactant from Bacillus subtilis ATCC 19,659, its anti-adhesion and antimicrobial activity, and cell viability. Anti-adhesion studies were carried out against Streptococcus sanguinis, Staphylococcus aureus, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Proteus mirabilis as the minimum inhibitory concentration and the minimum bactericidal concentration.
