Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of periodontitis in dentate people between 2011 and 2020.

Materials And Methods: PUBMED, Web of Science, and LILACS were searched up to and including December 2021. Epidemiological studies reporting the prevalence of periodontitis conducted between 2011 and 2020 were eligible for inclusion in this review. Studies were grouped according to the case definition of confidence as confident (Centers for Disease Control [CDC] AAP 2012; CDC/AAP 2007; and Armitage 1999) and non-confident (community periodontal index of 3 or 4, periodontal pocket depth >4 mm, and clinical attachment level ≥1 mm). Random effects meta-analyses with double arcsine transformation were conducted. Sensitivity subgroup and meta-regression analyses explored the effect of confounding variables on the overall estimates.

Results: A total 55 studies were included. The results showed a significant difference, with confident case definitions (61.6%) reporting nearly twice the prevalence as non-confident classifications (38.5%). Estimates using confident periodontal case definitions showed a pooled prevalence of periodontitis of 61.6%, comprising 17 different countries. Estimates reporting using the CDC/AAP 2012 case definition presented the highest estimate (68.1%) and the CDC/AAP 2007 presented the lowest (48.8%). Age was a relevant confounding variable, as older participants (≥65 years) had the highest pooled estimate (79.3%).

Conclusion: Between 2011 and 2020, periodontitis in dentate adults was estimated to be around 62% and severe periodontitis 23.6%. These results show an unusually high prevalence of periodontitis compared to the previous estimates from 1990 to 2010.

Introduction: The wisdom teeth usually erupt at the age of 17-25 years leading to the risk of pericoronitis, caries, periodontitis, anterior crowding of teeth and cyst development. Previous studies have reported that the third molar infection is more associated with the age group of 26-35 years and is more commonly reported in the female gender.

Aims: Hence, the aim was to assess knowledge regarding third molar infections among women degree college students.

Background: Celiac disease (CD) is a systemic disorder characterized by an enteropathy of highly variable clinical expression, in which the relationship with oral pathology has not yet been fully elucidated. We aimed to update the current knowledge on oral manifestations in CD, to identify evidence gaps and to point out future research lines.

Material And Methods: PRISMA-ScR guidelines were followed.

Introduction: Periodontal diseases are prevalent among middle-aged and elderly individuals. There's still no satisfactory solution for tooth loss caused by periodontal diseases. Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) is a distinctive subgroup of mesenchymal stem cells, which play a crucial role in periodontal supportive tissues, but their application value hasn't been fully explored yet.

As gingivitis prevalence is closely related to plaque accumulation, effective oral hygiene is mandatory for maintaining healthy gingival tissues. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of different toothbrushing methods (a manual toothbrush (group 1 = MTB, the control); an electric toothbrush (group 2 = ETB); and an electric toothbrush with daily visual feedback (group 3 = ETBV)) on the plaque levels and periodontal health in patients after receiving initial periodontal treatment. : A total of 67 patients were initially screened in this study, and 60 patients were randomly allocated into 1 of the 3 groups, with 53 patients completing this study.

Periodontitis is a prevalent inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, leading to gum recession, tooth loss, and systemic health complications. Traditional diagnostic methods and treatments, such as clinical evaluation and scaling, often fall short in early detection and targeted therapy, particularly in complex or advanced cases. Recent advancements in nanomedicine offer promising solutions for improving both the diagnosis and treatment of periodontitis.
