Aim: To investigate the association between dental health and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) in secondary prevention setting.
Materials And Methods: A total of 888 patients with known CVD hospitalized in the cardiology unit were prospectively enrolled. We assessed the association between missing teeth and three variables of periodontitis and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as a composite of cardiac death, acute myocardial infarction, stroke and hospital re-admission for congestive heart failure.
Results: During a median (Q1, Q3) follow-up of 4.6 (1.4, 6.7) years, an additional missing tooth was associated with a 3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1%-5%) higher hazard of MACE (p = .004). Compared with patients with 0 to ≤4 missing teeth, periods free from MACE (95% CI) by 5 years of follow-up were, on average, shorter by 0.17 (-0.04 to 0.37) years, 0.26 (0.04-0.49) years and 0.59 (0.34-0.85) years in patients with 5 to ≤7, 8 to ≤13 and >13 missing teeth, respectively. No significant associations were observed between periodontal measures and MACE incidence.
Conclusions: In hospitalized patients with existing CVD, the total number of missing teeth was associated with incident MACE.

Periodontitis constitutes the primary cause of tooth loss among adults in China. The disease is characterized by the high morbidity, which significantly impairs both oral and systemic health. As the key insights of initial periodontal therapy, subgingival scaling and root planing (SRP) have been considered as simple, effective, and cost-efficient treatment approaches for managing periodontal inflammation.

Background: The long-term stability of allograft or native bone in facial vascularized composite allograft (fVCA) recipients is unclear. This study quantified long-term bone volume changes in facial transplants.
Methods: Computed tomography scans of eight fVCA recipients (2011-2023) were analyzed with Materialise Mimics.

The oral cavity, being a nutritionally enriched environment, has been proven to be an ideal habitat for biofilm development. Various microenvironments, including dental enamel, supra- and subgingival surfaces, salivary fluid, and the dorsal surface of the tongue, harbor diverse microbes. These biofilms typically consist of four major layers.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of our previously proposed mesiodistal distance for multiple posterior implants on preserving peri-implant bone, and to provide a measurable criterion for predicting implant prognosis.
Methods: One hundred and two patients with dental implants placed in the posterior free-end edentulous arches were recruited in this cross-sectional study. Calibrated X-rays (peri-apical [PA] or bite-wing x-ray) were collected to measure the mesiodistal space as well as the corresponding bone resorption of implants after prosthesis placement.
