Objectives: To assess whether subgingival irrigation with 0.12 % or 0.2 % chlorhexidine (CHX) immediately after scaling and root planing (SRP) enhances periodontal tissue repair compared to irrigation with saline solution (control).
Materials And Methods: Periodontitis was ligature-induced in rat molars for 7 days. Animals were distributed into three groups: 1) SRP group, SRP and irrigation with 0.9 % saline (n = 30); 2) SRP + 0.12 % CHX group, SRP and irrigation with 0.12 % CHX (n = 30); 3) SRP + 0.2 % CHX group, SRP and irrigation with 0.2 % CHX (n = 30). Animals were killed at 7, 15, and 30 days after treatment. Furcation region was histometrically analyzed to determine the bone area. Immunohistochemical reactions were performed for receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP).
Results: Both chlorhexidine groups presented less inflammation and improved tissue repair along the entire experiment when compared with the SRP group. In the histometric analysis at 7, 15 and 30 days, SRP group (4.58 ± 2.51 mm2, 4.21 ± 1.25 mm2, 3.49 ± 1.48 mm2), showed statistically less bone area than groups SRP + 0.12 % CHX (1.86 ± 1.11 mm; 0.79 ± 0.27 mm; 0.34 ± 0.14 mm) and SRP + 0.2 % CHX (1.14 ± 0.51 mm; 0.98 ± 0.40 mm; 0.41 ± 0.21 mm). Both chlorhexidine concentrations modulated the expression of TRAP, RANKL and OPG.
Conclusions: Subgingival irrigation with chlorhexidine contributed for a quicker shift from a proinflammatory destructive profile to healing of periodontal tissues.

Phase 1b/2 study of orally administered pexidartinib in combination with radiation therapy and temozolomide in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma.

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) has a median survival of <2 years. Pexidartinib (PLX3397) is a small-molecule inhibitor of CSF1R, KIT, and oncogenic FTL3, which are implicated in GBM treatment resistance. Results from glioma models indicate that combining radiation therapy (RT) and pexidartinib reduces radiation resistance.

Department of Prosthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Sabzevar University of Medical Sciences, Sabzevar, Iran.
Purpose: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) level of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) as a valuable inflammatory cytokine for estimation of the efficacy of adjunctive antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in stage II-IV periodontitis patients.
Methods: This review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA statements, and registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022321211). An electronic search was conducted for articles comparing the efficacy of aPDT versus scaling and root planing (SRP) published up until June 2023.
Tackling algorithmic bias and promoting transparency in health datasets: the STANDING Together consensus recommendations.

Without careful dissection of the ways in which biases can be encoded into artificial intelligence (AI) health technologies, there is a risk of perpetuating existing health inequalities at scale. One major source of bias is the data that underpins such technologies. The STANDING Together recommendations aim to encourage transparency regarding limitations of health datasets and proactive evaluation of their effect across population groups.

Article Synopsis
- Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is a risk factor for stroke and Alzheimer’s disease, particularly among Hispanic/Latino adults, highlighting the need for research on its impact on brain health in this demographic.
- This study, based on the Hispanic Community Health Study, analyzed the association between SDB and brain MRI measures in a diverse group of Hispanic/Latino adults, using data from 2,667 participants with neuroimaging conducted about 10 years after initial sleep assessments.
- Results indicated that higher respiratory event index (REI) correlated with larger hippocampal volumes, while lower oxygen levels during sleep were related to expanded white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volumes, suggesting complex relationships between SDB, oxygen
Analysis of the Sagittal Root Position of the Maxillary and Mandibular Anterior Teeth in the Alveolar Bone Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography.

December 2024
Conservative Department, College of Dentistry, University of Sulaimani, Sulaimani 46001, Iraq.
The purpose of this study was to measure the bone thickness and angulation of the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth on the buccal and palatal/lingual sides and also to analyze the sagittal root position (SRP) in the alveolar bone in relation to age and gender using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in an Iraqi subpopulation. CBCT images of 1200 maxillary and mandibular central and lateral incisors and canines from 100 patients (48 males and 52 females) were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were categorized by age into group I ≤ 25, group II 26-40, and group III ≥ 41 years old.
