The potential of bacterial markers for the detection of periodontal disease activity is discussed. Chronic periodontitis has been associated with subgingival bacteria. Techniques are available to detect and distinguish different bacteria. In subgingival plaque, bacterial proteases can be detected. Commercial diagnostic tests based on bacterial factors are described.

Wood-based nanocellulose is emerging as a promising nanomaterial in the field of tissue engineering due to its unique properties and versatile applications. Previously, we used TEMPO-mediated oxidation (TO) and carboxymethylation (CM) as chemical pretreatments prior to mechanical fibrillation of wood-based cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) to produce scaffolds with different surface chemistries. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effects of these chemical pretreatments on serum protein adsorption on 2D and 3D configurations of TO-CNF and CM-CNF and then to investigate their effects on cell adhesion, spreading, inflammatory mediator production , and the development of foreign body reaction (FBR) .

Background: The severity of furcation involvement (FI) directly affected tooth prognosis and influenced treatment approaches. However, assessing, diagnosing, and treating molars with FI was complicated by anatomical and morphological variations. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) enhanced diagnostic accuracy for detecting FI and measuring furcation defects.

Introduction: Periodontitis is associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). One hypothesis posits that this connection arises from the formation of autoantibodies against citrullinated proteins (ACPA) in inflamed gums, possibly triggered by . We previously demonstrated an increased antibody response to arginine gingipains (anti-Rgp IgG), not only in individuals with severe periodontitis compared to controls, but in RA versus controls, with an association to ACPA.

Background: Newer generation platelet concentrates, such as advanced platelet-rich fibrin plus (A-PRF+) obtained following low-speed centrifugation concept and horizontal platelet-rich fibrin (H-PRF) obtained from swing out and bucket system, showed increased platelet entrapment and growth factor release in the in-vitro studies. This prospective study aimed to evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of A-PRF+ and H-PRF membranes in the treatment of gingival recession defects. The objectives of this study were to compare the changes in the recession height (RH) and the mean root coverage percentage (MRC%) between and within the research groups.

Aim: The socket-shield technique arises from the efforts to stop the dimensional changes of the bone crest and gingival tissues. This technique consists of leaving a vestibular fragment of a naturally attached root with the purpose of keeping the crestal bone nourished through the periodontium. The aim of this research was to perform a scientometric analysis of the scientific production on the socket-shield technique in oral implantology.
