Aim: This study aimed to correlate periodontal pathogens in endodontic periodontal diseases.
Methodology: This study was conducted on 40 patients of both genders. All the participants were obtained from department of endodontics and periodontology with history of endo-perio lesion in same teeth. Polymerase chain reaction was performed and correlation was established.
Results: This study included 18 males and 22 females. The mean age of male was 42.5 years and female was 41.3 years. Specimens of were isolated from 94% endodontium and 92% periodontium, from 71% endodontium and 55% periodontium, from 12% endodontium and 58% periodontium. The difference was significant ( < 0.05). Bacteria in endodontic-periodontal infection confirmed statistically significant correlation between absolute quantitation of and ( = 0.412, < 0.05), and ( = 0.524, < 0.05), and and ( = 0.427, < 0.05).
Conclusion: There was correlation between targeted bacterial species levels from concurrent endodontic-periodontal diseases. Thus, it can be suggested that dentinal tubules may be the pathway for spread of bacteria.

The complement system and neutrophils constitute the two main pillars of the host innate immune defense against infection by bacterial pathogens. Here, we identify T-Mac, a novel virulence factor of the periodontal pathogen Treponema denticola that allows bacteria to evade both defense systems. We show that T-Mac is expressed as a pre-protein that is cleaved into two functional units.

Background: Oral and gut microbiomes have been associated with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Although the role of the gut microbiome and gut dysbiosis in ADRD has been extensively studied, research on the oral microbiome is lacking. Moreover, the synergetic contribution of oral and gut microbiomes to ADRD is unexplored.

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.
