TAM pathway proteins as novel salivary biomarkers for periodontitis

Background The identification of molecular biomarkers that help clinicians in early diagnosis is a key focus of periodontal research. The major aim of this cross-sectional observational study was to assess whether salivary TAM pathway protein levels have the potential to discriminate between periodontally healthy or gingivitis controls and periodontitis patients, including those with mild (I/II) or severe (III/...

Antimicrobial potential of bioactive resin composites in caries management: a s...

Introduction: Secondary caries is the leading cause of failure in resin composite restorations due to biofilm accumulation. Bioactive resin composites (BRCs) release ions that promote remineralization and inhibit bacterial growth. This review compares microbial adhesion and antimicrobial effectiveness between BRCs and conventional resin composites. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in databases PubMed,...

Toxicity of resin-matrix composites in a dental clinical setting

The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review to comprehensively explore the factors contributing to the resin-matrix composites′ toxicity in patients. A systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. The bibliographic review was performed in the following databases: PubMed, Cochrane Central and Web of Science. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were established to retrieve article...

Unravelling the benefits of thermal water for oral health

Thermal waters (TW) have been valued since ancient times for their unique properties. Sulfurous TW treat dermatological conditions and respiratory infections, while chlorinated TW aid healing, bone health, and digestive function through anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects. Despite limited studies on TW, research highlights their antioxidant, anti-allergic, and anti-inflammatory effects, including reducing ...

White spot lesion treatment options: a systematic review of different technique...

White spot lesions (WSLs) are early clinical stages of enamel demineralization, often related to orthodontic treatment or poor oral hygiene. The use of gels such as fluoride for topical application inhibits demineralization and promotes remineralization of dental tissues through various mechanisms. A variety of therapeutic approaches are available; however, recent research indicates that combined treatment stra...

PVP formulations of bis-cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes bearing β-modifie...

Cancer stands as the second leading global cause of death, following heart disease. Considering the severe side effects revealed by some chemotherapeutics for tumor treatment and anticancer therapies, the scientific community is actively exploring more effective alternatives. Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) mediated by porphyrin-based photosensitizers (PS) has emerged as an attractive alternative to more conventiona...

Do clear aligners release toxic chemicals? - a systematic review

Clear aligners are a modern orthodontic solution designed to address dental malocclusions discreetly and effectively. In terms of clinical side effects, the most reported issues among aligner users are mild irritation of the oral mucosa, localized inflammation, and hypersensitivity. The use of advanced polymer materials in clear aligners, such as polyurethane and PET-G, has gained widespread acceptance due to t...

Oral health in inflammatory bowel disease: the overlooked impact and the potent...

Background: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), a chronic condition characterized by gastrointestinal inflammation, is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Emerging evidence suggests a “mouth-gut axis,” with the oral cavity reflecting extra-intestinal manifestations of IBD. This study evaluated the oral health status of IBD patients and the potential of salivary calprotectin (SCP) as a biomarker for a...

TAM pathway receptor proteins: differential expression in healthy human mastica...

Unraveling the extra virgin olive oil effect on inflammation and on gut and sal...

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) with a high content of polyphenols has attracted attention due to its proved beneficial effects in decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, modulating cholesterol levels (HDL and LDL), modulating inflammatory markers, and decreasing the levels of haemoglobin1Ac, suggesting that EVOO can have an impact in glycemia regulation. This study assessed the impact of the consumption o...
