Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of periodontal endoscope as an adjuvant therapy for the non-surgical periodontal treatment of patients with severe and generalized periodontitis.
Methods: Patients (n=13) were divided into three groups: patients treated with conventional subgingival scaling and root planing (SRP) (n=7, 408 sites) (group A), SRP using periodontal endoscope (n=4, 188 sites) (group B) or SRP with periodontal endoscope 3 months after initial SRP (n=2, 142 sites) (group C). Two subgroups were divided into 2 subgroups according to PD at the baseline: 4
Results: The results of 3 months after treatment showed all PD, AL, and GR values in group A1 were less than those in group B1 (P<0.05), but no significant difference in BOP was found between the two groups. The decrease in PD, BOP in group B2 was more obvious than those in group A2 (P<0.000 1), and the GR values in group B2 were more than those in group A2 (P<0.000 1). But the improvement of AL showed no statistical difference between the two groups (P=0.296 8). In group C1, no significant difference in PD, AL, and GR was observed after endoscopy-assisted therapy, but it was more effective for BOP (P<0.000 1). In group C2, the improvement in PD and AL was significantly different from the improvement in SRP alone (P=0.000 5, P=0.000 2) and was accompanied by more GR (P=0.000 5).
Conclusions: In non-surgical treatment of severe and generalized periodontitis, SRP can achieve good therapeutic effect on sites with 4<
PD≤6 mm. For sites with PD>6 mm, the application of periodontal endoscopy can increase the effect, reducing PD and GR, which may be an effective supplement to the current non-surgical periodontal treatment.

This case report presents a 34-year-old Japanese man with hematemesis who was ultimately diagnosed with gingival bleeding due to periodontitis via esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Although endoscopic examination revealed no gastrointestinal lesions, persistent bleeding from the gums was observed, highlighting the need to consider non-gastrointestinal sources of bleeding in such scenarios. Heavy alcohol consumption likely contributed to poor oral health and increased the risk of oral bleeding.

Aim: Technology improvement and a better understanding of sinus anatomy and wound healing in the past decade have allowed the development of minimally invasive surgical techniques. This systematic review focused on identifying and describing these techniques for vertical and lateral sinus augmentation (VSA and LSA).
Materials And Methods: Electronic and hand search were conducted to screen the literature published from January 2003 to May 2024.

Maxillary sinus is located in the maxilla bone with the largest volume in all sinuses and is closest to the roots of maxillary posterior teeth, especially the mesiobuccal root of the maxillary second molar. The thickness of the normal maxillary sinus mucosa is about 1 mm. When stimulated or infected, it shows thickening of the mucosa.

Article Synopsis
- Odontogenic sinusitis (ODS) is a type of bacterial sinus infection caused by dental issues, unlike nonodontogenic rhinosinusitis.
- ODS is characterized by severe lymphocytic inflammation driven by Th1 or Th17 types, while the sinus's respiratory mucosa remains functional.
- Recognizing the unique features of ODS, such as foul drainage and papillary edema, helps in choosing the best treatment options.

Article Synopsis
- Clinical guidelines recommend access flap surgery for deep periodontal pockets; however, papilla-preservation flap surgery (PPFS) and endoscopic-assisted subgingival debridement (EASD) offer minimally invasive treatment options.
- A 12-month trial with 62 subjects compared the effectiveness of EASD and PPFS, focusing on clinical attachment levels (CAL) and secondary outcomes like pocket resolution and treatment time.
- Results showed EASD provided similar CAL improvements and wound healing as PPFS but required less treatment time, indicating it is an effective alternative for managing periodontal issues.
