Purpose: To evaluate the effect of periodontal and prosthodontic therapy on glycated hemoglobin A(HbA1c) level in patients with diabetes.
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective study of 70 patients suffering from diabetes who visited the Kyungpook National University Hospital between January 2016 and May 2018. Patients underwent medical evaluation for their routine check-up, which includes laboratory test for HbA1c levels. Among the 70 patients, 35 patients also visited Kyungpook National University Dental Hospital during the same period to receive periodontal and prosthodontic therapy, while the other 35 patients did not receive such therapy. The HbA1c levels were compared before and after periodontal and prosthodontic therapy. Comparisons between groups and within groups were performed using independent t-test.
Results: The HbA1c levels in the group who have received periodontal and prosthodontic therapy decreased from 7.2 to 6.7 (=.001). The HbA1c levels in the control group decreased from 7.2 to 7.1 (=.580). The difference in changes between the two patient groups was statistically significant (=.011).
Conclusion: Periodontal and prosthodontic therapy can be effective on glycemic control in patients with diabetes.

Effect of implant loading protocols and associated factors on the success rate of implant therapy: A retrospective clinical study.
J Prosthet Dent
January 2025
Assistant Professor, Restorative and Prosthodontic Department, The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, Columbus, OH.
Statement Of Problem: Although immediate implant loading has shown promising clinical results and high survival rates, an increased risk of implant failure and complications has been reported. Achieving consistently predictable outcomes with this approach remains a challenge, but evidence-based guidelines to assist in selecting suitable patients are lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective clinical study was to investigate the success rate, survival rate, and complications of immediate implant loading compared with early and delayed loading.
Comparison of the antibacterial efficacy of 810 nm diode laser and photodynamic therapy in reducing microbial flora in patients with peri-implant mucositis - An in vivo study.

Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, SGT University, Gurugram, Haryana, India.
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the antimicrobial effects of an 810-nanometer diode laser, utilizing or not utilizing toluidine blue as a photosensitizer, in the management of peri-implant mucositis.
Settings And Design: The present study was carried out in 30 implant sites in 15 patients with peri-implant mucositis with a specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. 15 sites were treated utilizing a diode laser (control group) and 15 with photodynamic therapy (test group) in a split-mouth format.
Assessment of glove integrity across various dental specialties in a dental school setting.

Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Dentistry, Ajman University, Ajman, United Arab Emirates.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the integrity of non-sterile, powder-free latex gloves used by dental students across various specialties, finding a high rate of perforations (40.7%).
- The gloves were analyzed using a modified water leak test after use in procedures like operative dentistry and oral surgery, revealing significant perforations mainly at the right thumb and index finger.
- No statistical differences were found based on the type of dental procedure or duration of glove use, but there was a notable correlation between expected and actual defects in glove integrity.

Department of Prosthodontics and Crown and Bridge, Manipal College of Dental Sciences, Manipal, Karnataka, India.
Background: To assess the validity of time trade-off (TTO) and standard gamble (SG) techniques of utility valuation among patients with periodontal problems by assessing their relation to two logical constructs; Gingival Index (GI) and Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) Questionnaire.
Materials And Methods: Two hundred and one patients aged 18 years old and above, who visited a tertiary care hospital for treatment/consultation were included. A questionnaire was administered to record the TTO, SG, and OHIP.

Background: Previous studies have indicated a potential relationship between iron status and oral health outcomes, specifically periodontitis and dental caries. This study employed Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the causal effects of iron status on these oral health conditions. The focus of this study was on key iron biomarkers, namely serum iron, ferritin, transferrin saturation (TSAT), and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC).
