Purpose: The aim of this systematic review was to determine a potential association between periodontal disease and graft versus host disease (GVHD).
Design: PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases were searched to identify all relevant articles. The eligibility criteria were prospective, retrospective, cross-sectional, cohort, case-control studies and interventional studies that assessed periodontal parameters in GVHD adults' patients.
Results: Seven studies, published between 2000 and 2018, were eligible. The aggravation of periodontal tissues is due to inadequate oral hygiene, dental plaque, decays, gum recession, retained roots, tooth loss, periodontally infected teeth. Several studies have indicated that periodontitis treatment performed before transplantation showed the reduction of gingival inflammation and maintenance of periodontal health.
Conclusions: Periodontitis might be a risk factor for GVHD. However, due to the limited number of studies included in the review and their heterogeneity, more data are needed to sustain the correlation between periodontitis and GVHD.

Background: The treatment of congenital deformities, traumatic injuries, infectious diseases, and tumors in the craniomaxillofacial (CMF) region is complex due to the intricate nature of the tissues involved. Conventional treatments such as bone grafts and cell transplantation face limitations, including the need for multiple surgeries, complications, and safety concerns.
Objective: This paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the role of exosomes (EXOs) in CMF and dental tissue regeneration and to explore their potential applications in regenerative dental medicine.

Periodontitis, characterized by inflammatory loss of tooth-supporting tissues associated with biofilm, is among the most prevalent chronic diseases globally, affecting approximately 50% of the adult population to a moderate extent and cases of severe periodontitis surpassing the one billion mark. Proteomics analyses of blood, serum, and oral fluids have provided valuable insights into the complex processes occurring in the inflamed periodontium. However, until now, proteome analyses have been primarily limited to small groups of diseased versus healthy individuals.

Periodontitis arises from imbalanced host-microbe interactions, leading to dysbiosis and destructive inflammation. The host's innate and adaptive immune responses produce pro-inflammatory mediators that stimulate destructive events, which cause loss of alveolar bone and connective tissue attachment. There is no consensus on the factors that lead to a conversion from gingivitis to periodontitis, but one possibility is the proximity of the inflammation to the bone, which promotes bone resorption and inhibits subsequent bone formation during coupled bone formation.

Objective: Oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma is an aggressive life-threatening disease, the prognosis of which is affected by tumor stage and size. We retrospectively studied whether oral inflammatory burden and established tongue carcinoma etiological factors exert an impact on tumor size and stage.
Materials And Methods: Medical records of 183 subjects diagnosed with tongue carcinoma at Helsinki University Hospital were investigated.

Objective: To investigate the association of periodontitis and clinical periodontal parameters with migraine as well as mortality among people with migraine disease.
Background: Periodontitis has been shown to increase the systemic inflammatory burden thereby promoting various systemic health outcomes; however, the evidence regarding the relationship between periodontitis and migraine is scarce.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed, and it included 13,108 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2004).
