Aim: We wanted to investigate whether periodontal conditions and/or oral care habits are associated with new cardiovascular events among patients with coronary vascular disease (CVD).
Materials And Methods: In this longitudinal cohort study, 1002 inpatients with CVD were included. They were examined regarding prevalence of severe periodontitis, bleeding upon probing (BOP), number of missing teeth and oral care habits. The combined endpoint was defined as myocardial infarction, stroke/transient ischaemic attack, cardiovascular death and death caused by stroke. Survival analyses were carried out after a 3-year follow-up period. Hazard ratios (HRs) were adjusted for known cardiac risk factors using Cox regression.
Results: Nine hundred and fifty-three patients completed the 3-year follow-up. The overall incidence of the combined endpoint was 16.4%. Significant HRs for BOP (HR = 2, 95% CI: 1.2-3.3), severe tooth loss (HR = 1.8, 95% CI: 1.3-2.5), brushing teeth more than once a day (HR = 0.6, 95% CI: 0.5-1.0) and use of floss/inter-dental brushes (HR = 0.5, 95% CI: 0.3-0.9) were evaluated only in univariate but not in multivariate survival analyses. Patients with severe periodontitis achieved the combined endpoint more often (18.9% versus 14.2%), but the result was not statistically significant after both univariate and multivariate survival analyses.
Conclusions: Periodontal conditions and oral care habits are not independent indicators for further adverse events in patients with CVD.

The human body houses many distinct and interconnecting microbial populations with long-lasting systemic effects, where the oral cavity serves as a pathogens' reservoir. The correlation of different disease states strongly supports the need to understand the interplay between the oral tissue niche and microbiome. Despite efforts, the recapitulation of gingival architecture and physiological characteristics of the periodontal niche has yet to be accomplished by traditional cultural strategies.

We have previously demonstrated that subgingival levels of nitrate-reducing bacteria, as well as the in vitro salivary nitrate reduction capacity (NRC), were diminished in periodontitis patients, increasing after periodontal treatment. However, it remains unclear if an impaired NRC in periodontitis can affect systemic health. To determine this, the effect of nitrate-rich beetroot juice (BRJ) on blood pressure was determined in 15 periodontitis patients before and 70 days after periodontal treatment (i.

Regenerating periodontal bone defect surrounding periodontal tissue is crucial for orthodontic or dental implant treatment. The declined osteogenic ability of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) induced by inflammation stimulus contributes to reduced capacity to regenerate periodontal bone, which brings about a huge challenge for treating periodontitis. Here, inspired by the adhesive property of mussels, we have created adhesive and mineralized hydrogel microspheres loaded with traditional compound cordycepin (MMS-CY).

Background: Some infections may be associated with poor brain health, but evidence from low and middle-income countries (LMICs) is limited. Therefore, we aimed to investigate associations between nine infections and cognitive function, depression, and frailty in India.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from Wave 1 (2017-2019) of the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI) survey of adults (≥45years) from 35 of India's 36 states and union territories.

Periodontal disease is recognized as a chronic multifactorial inflammatory condition initiated by dysbiosis within subgingival plaque biofilms. Antimicrobial peptides exhibit a wide spectrum of antimicrobial action, and thus, provide one of the first lines of host defense against oral pathogens. Aged garlic extract (AGE) is effective for preventing the progression of periodontal disease.
