Background: Periodontitis is chronic infection and is linked to systemic diseases like Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD is a neurodegenerative disorder occurring due to accumulation of aggregates of amyloid β peptide and tau proteins. The current study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice about treating AD cases.
Material And Method: Questionnaire-based survey was done on 270 dental professionals and dental students. Data was analyzed using bar chart, and hypothesis was tested using Chi-Square test.
Results: There is an association between practical knowledge and attitude among dental professionals and students, but there is lack of practice-based approach for treating Alzheimer's patients.
Conclusion: The dental professionals have knowledge regarding perio-systemic link, but still need to upgrade their understanding toward AD with periodontitis.

There appears to be some confusion, misunderstanding, and unfounded concern about state governments being asked to adopt the recent initiative from the United States (US) Department of Defense regarding a dental health provider's compact for US states and territories. Yet, there needs to be a realization of the significance and priority for joining the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact, since it directly incorporates into health care security as a strategy component. While there is a gross lack of research and information shared in this area, this editorial serves to offer such research, information, insight, and clarification to emergency management professionals on the value and necessity to openly support dental compact agreements for all US states and territories.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is recognized as one of the foremost global health challenges, complicating the treatment of infectious diseases and contributing to increased morbidity and mortality rates. Traditionally, microbiological culture and susceptibility testing methods, such as disk diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays, have been employed to identify AMR bacteria. However, these conventional techniques are often labor intensive and time consuming and lack the requisite sensitivity for the early detection of resistance.

Mixodectids are poorly understood placental mammals from the Paleocene of western North America that have variably been considered close relatives of euarchontan mammals (primates, dermopterans, and scandentians) with hypothesized relationships to colugos, extinct plagiomenids, and/or microsyopid plesiadapiforms. Here we describe the most complete dentally associated skeleton yet recovered for a mixodectid, specifically Mixodectes pungens from the early Paleocene of the San Juan Basin, New Mexico. A partial skull with all the teeth erupted and associated axial skeleton, forelimbs, and hind limbs, with epiphyses fused, indicate that it was a mature adult.
