Background: Non-surgical periodontal treatment is the mainstay of periodontal treatment. In Malaysia, the prevalence of periodontal disease is substantial among adults with almost half of them having periodontitis. Therefore, we estimated the economic burden of non-surgical periodontal treatment in specialist clinics in Malaysia.
Methods: Relevant data from multiple data sources which include national oral health and health surveys, national census, extensive systematic literature reviews, as well as discussion with experts, were used to estimate the economic burden of non-surgical periodontal management in specialist clinics in Malaysia in 2020. This estimation was done from the oral healthcare provider's perspective in both public and private sectors using an irreducible Markov model of 3-month cycle length over a time horizon of one year.
Results: In 2020, the national economic burden of non-surgical periodontal treatment during the first year of periodontal management in specialist clinics in Malaysia was MYR 696 million (USD 166 million), ranging from MYR 471 million (USD 112 million) to MYR 922 million (USD 220 million). Of these, a total of MYR 485 million (USD 115 million) and MYR 211 million (USD 50 million) were the direct oral healthcare cost in public and private dental clinics, respectively.
Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrated substantial economic burden of non-surgical periodontal management in specialist clinics in Malaysia. Being a life-long disease, these findings highlight the importance of enforcing primary and secondary preventive measures. On the strength and reliability of this economic evidence, this study provides vital information to inform policy- and decision-making regarding the future direction of managing periodontitis in Malaysia.

This study investigated the efficacy of a herbal toothpaste containing (test group) compared with a sodium bicarbonate toothpaste (active control group) and a standard toothpaste (benchmark group) on periodontitis treatment outcomes. Fifty-four periodontitis patients were randomly allocated into three groups. The patients received mechanical instrumentation and instruction on oral hygiene using a toothbrush with the toothpastes and dental floss.

Background: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by the accumulation of biofilm. Antimicrobials have been used as adjuncts to non-surgical periodontal therapy. However, systemic antibiotics often require large dosages to achieve suitable concentrations at the disease site.

- The study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic factors, along with salivary levels of specific biomarkers, in patients with type-II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) receiving different types of dental implants.
- It involved four groups of participants with varying conditions (T2DM and non-T2DM) and types of implants (standard and short dental implants), focusing on their periodontal health and salivary cytokine levels.
- Results showed that T2DM patients had worse periodontal conditions compared to non-T2DM patients, demonstrating higher plaque index scores and other unfavorable clinical metrics over time.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to review the impact of non-surgical periodontal treatment on rheumatoid arthritis symptoms, specifically looking at the 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28) and inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, from existing systematic reviews.
- - Researchers conducted thorough electronic searches for relevant studies up to August 2024, including 10 systematic reviews (six with meta-analyses), which collectively examined data before and after the treatment.
- - Findings indicated that non-surgical periodontal treatment significantly reduced levels of C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and DAS28 in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis, with a notable reduction in DAS28 observed after three months. *
