Aim: To investigate the effect of periodontitis on the long-term changes of the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI).
Materials and methods: A 10-year retrospective cohort study of 3842 Thai participants (range 25-76 years) with normal CAVI at the study initiation was undertaken. Full-mouth periodontal examination was performed by calibrated periodontists, and the extent and severity of periodontitis were determined at 5-year intervals. Serial CAVI measurements were used to examine the incidence of high CAVI (≥ 9.0) and changes in CAVI over time (ΔCAVI).
Results: Participants with a higher extent or severity of periodontitis were found to have a significantly higher mean ΔCAVI. The incidence of high CAVI was also observed to be higher in those with periodontitis compared to those without it. The adjusted risk ratios for developing high CAVI were 1.309 and 1.513 for localized and generalized periodontitis, respectively. Participants with severe periodontitis had a 37% higher likelihood of developing CAVI ≥ 9.0 compared to individuals with no/mild periodontitis. This risk was consistent with a significant change in ΔCAVI of 0.054-0.140.
Conclusions: Periodontitis, both in terms of extent and severity, was found to have a significant dose-dependent effect on the risk of developing high CAVI over a 10-year period, suggesting a causal relationship between these two parameters.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the hypoxic changes in periodontal tissues resulting from smoking and periodontitis by assessing levels of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF-1α, HIF-2α, HIF-3α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF).
Materials and methods: The study comprised 22 periodontally healthy non-smokers (Group H), 22 periodontally healthy smokers (Group HS), 22 non-smokers with periodontitis (Group P) and 22 smokers with periodontitis (Group PS). Clinical periodontal parameters were documented, and GCF samples were collected and analysed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Results: Significantly elevated levels of HIF-1α, HIF-3α and VEGF were observed in Groups HS, P and PS compared to Group H (p < 0.05). Moreover, higher HIF-2α levels were detected in the Groups HS and P compared to Group H (p < 0.05). Significant correlations were detected between all evaluated hypoxia biomarkers in the Group P (p < 0.05) except HIF-2α and HIF-3α. However, in the PS group, significant correlation appeared only between HIF-1α and HIF-2α (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Our findings indicate that smoking and periodontitis induce comparable hypoxic effects in periodontal tissues, as evidenced by the evaluated biomarkers. Further research is warranted to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying hypoxia in periodontal tissues.

Aim: This first randomized controlled trial in humans aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of low-dosage Escherichia coli-derived recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (ErhBMP-2)-incorporated biomimetic calcium phosphate coating-functionalized β-TCP (ErhBMP-2/BioCaP/β-TCP) as a novel bone substitute using the tooth-extraction-socket-healing model.
Materials and methods: Forty patients requiring dental implants after single-root tooth extraction were enrolled in this study and randomly assigned into three groups: ErhBMP-2/BioCaP/β-TCP (N = 15), β-TCP (N = 15) and natural healing (N = 10). New bone volume density from histomorphometric analyses was evaluated 6 weeks post-operatively as the primary outcome, and other histomorphometric analyses, alveolar bone and soft-tissue changes were the secondary outcomes. Safety parameters included adverse events, soft-tissue healing, oral health impact profile, serum BMP-2 concentrations and other laboratory tests.
Results: The findings revealed a significant increase in new bone volume density in patients treated with ErhBMP-2/BioCaP/β-TCP compared to those receiving β-TCP alone. The required bone augmentation procedures during implant placement surgery in the ErhBMP-2/BioCaP/β-TCP group were significantly less than in the natural healing group. There were no significant differences in safety parameters among the three groups.
Conclusion: This clinical trial primarily proved the safety and efficacy of ErhBMP-2/BioCaP/β-TCP as a promising bone substitute.

AIMSTo determine the relationship between microbiome dysbiosis indices and biofilm immunogenicity and their prognostic implications on periodontal treatment response.MATERIALS AND METHODSThirty periodontally healthy controls and 30 periodontitis cases (stage III) were recruited. Cases received non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT), and their treatment response at 6 months was evaluated using a treat-to-target endpoint (≤ 4 sites with probing depths ≥ 5 mm). Pooled subgingival biofilm samples were obtained from controls and cases. The V3-4 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene was sequenced and two compositional indices (subgingival microbiome dysbiosis index, SMDI, and dysbiosis ratio, DR) were calculated. Nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) activation elicited by biofilm samples in monocytic reporter cells was quantified to assess biofilm immunogenicity.RESULTSSMDI, DR and biofilm immunogenicity were highly diagnostic for periodontitis (area under curves [AUC] > 0.90, p < 0.001). Among periodontitis cases, all three microbial parameters were significantly reduced after NSPT (p < 0.001). Cases achieving the treat-to-target endpoint had lower pre-treatment SMDI and biofilm immunogenicity (p < 0.05) and different microbial recolonization patterns from poor responders. Both measures predicted treatment response (AUC of 0.767 and 0.835, respectively, p < 0.05).CONCLUSIONSubgingival biofilm dysbiosis quantified using SMDI and biofilm immunogenicity was diagnostic of periodontitis and predictive of NSPT outcomes.

Aim: While the importance of gingival aesthetics is increasingly recognized, a questionnaire quantifying its psychosocial impact is still lacking. We have adapted the validated Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ) for the gingival context. This study's aim was to develop a new Psychosocial Impact of Gingival Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIGAQ) and test its validity for the general population in Spain, exploring the underlying dimensions of the construct assessed.
Materials and methods: The PIDAQ was adapted to address gingival aesthetics. PIGAQ (23 items) was completed by 200 patients aged from 18 to 85 years, and socio-demographic variables were recorded. The four-dimensional structure of the PIDAQ was respected, adapting the subscales to focus on the gingiva. Descriptive analysis, assessments of reliability and validity and an exploratory factor analysis were performed.
Results: The revised PIGAQ (now containing 20 items) has a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.88 with four underlying factors explaining 61.5% of the total variance. Three items (SI-1, PI-2 and PI-5) were eliminated because of unacceptable fit indices. The Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the subscales are as follows: Gingival Self-Confidence, 0.85; Social Impact, 0.84; Psychological Impact, 0.79; and Aesthetic Concern, 0.76.
Conclusion: PIGAQ is a reliable and potentially valid instrument for assessing psychosocial perceptions of gingival aesthetics. The scale was shown to have a satisfactory factor structure and level of internal consistency.

Background and AimClinical practice guidelines suggest access flap surgery for managing deep residual pockets after steps 1 and 2 of periodontal therapy. Papilla‐preservation flap surgery (PPFS) is the least invasive approach to access and instrument biofilm‐contaminated root surfaces. Endoscopic‐assisted subgingival debridement (EASD) may enhance the outcomes of repeated instrumentation and provide a minimally invasive non‐surgical alternative.MethodsThis was a single‐blind, controlled, randomized, parallel‐group, non‐inferiority 12‐month trial comparing EASD with PPFS. Male and female adults with generalized stage III periodontitis and persistent periodontal pockets associated with an intrabony defect after steps 1 and 2 of periodontal therapy were recruited at Prince Philip Dental Hospital. Inter‐group differences in clinical attachment level (CAL) changes at 12 months were the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included pocket resolution (no pocket > 5 mm and no pocket > 4 with bleeding on probing), radiographic bone changes, treatment time, early wound healing and quality‐of‐life measurements.ResultsSixty‐two subjects (30 EASD and 32 PPFS) were included in the intention‐to‐treat analysis. CAL gains were 2.0 ± 1.0 and 1.8 ± 1.0 mm for test and controls, respectively. The 95% CI of the inter‐group difference was −0.3 to 0.8 mm and within the stipulated 1‐mm non‐inferiority margin. No inter‐group differences were observed (i) in pocket resolution, which was achieved in more than 87% of cases for all groups/time points, and (ii) in radiographic bone healing. The treatment time was significantly shorter for EASD than for PPFS. Better early wound healing index scores were observed for EASD. No inter‐group differences in pain, quality of life or safety were detected.ConclusionsEASD was not inferior to PPFS for managing residual pockets associated with intrabony defects. The observed outcome profile supports additional developments and studies to validate EASD as an alternative to surgery for isolated persistent pockets (ChiCTR‐INR‐16008407).

AimThis nationwide population‐based cohort study aimed to assess the incidence of implant complication treatments, including implant removal procedures and peri‐implantitis treatments, in relation to implant surfaces and abutment types.MethodsData from the National Health Insurance Service, covering approximately 50 million individuals, were used. Implants and abutments were categorized by codes, including surfaces such as resorbable blasting media, sandblasted large grit and acid‐etched (SA) and hydroxyapatite coating, along with abutment structures (one‐piece straight, two‐piece straight, angled). The incidence of implant complication treatments was analysed using Kaplan–Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards regression (α = 0.05).ResultsThe study included 2,354,706 implants. The SA group had the lowest hazard ratio for implant removal procedures (p < 0.0001). No significant differences were found in the risk of peri‐implantitis treatments between implant surfaces (p = 0.0587). The risk of implant complication treatments did not differ significantly by the abutment type (p = 0.9542). The incidence rate of implant complication treatments was < 3.9 per 1000 implant‐years across all groups.ConclusionsThe SA group showed a slightly lower risk of late implant loss, whereas no significant association was found for the abutment type groups. All implant and abutment type groups showed an incidence rate of < 3.9 per 1000 implant‐years for complication treatments.

The incidence of implant complication treatments was analysed using Kaplan–Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards regression (<jats:italic>α</jats:italic> = 0.05).ResultsThe study included 2,354,706 implants. The SA group had the lowest hazard ratio for implant removal procedures (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.0001). No significant differences were found in the risk of peri‐implantitis treatments between implant surfaces (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.0587). The risk of implant complication treatments did not differ significantly by the abutment type (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.9542). The incidence rate of implant complication treatments was < 3.9 per 1000 implant‐years across all groups.ConclusionsThe SA group showed a slightly lower risk of late implant loss, whereas no significant association was found for the abutment type groups. All implant and abutment type groups showed an incidence rate of < 3.9 per 1000 implant‐years for complication treatments.","PeriodicalId":15380,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Periodontology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142440153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AIMTo evaluate the clinical outcomes of moderate intrabony defects treated with minimally invasive non-surgical technique (MINST) with or without adjunctive delivery of cross-linked hyaluronic acid (xHyA) gel.MATERIALS AND METHODSForty-two patients with 42 interdental intrabony defects were randomly assigned to test (MINST + xHyA) or control procedures (MINST alone). Probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), gingival recession (GR) and bleeding on probing (BOP) at the treated sites were assessed at baseline and at 3 and 6 months. Full-mouth plaque score (FMPS) and full-mouth bleeding score (FMBS) were recorded at baseline and after 6 months. Radiographic evaluation was performed at baseline and after 6 months, assessing the defect fill (DF) and radiographic defect angle (RDA). The primary outcome variable was PD change.RESULTSThirty-eight patients completed the trial without any adverse events. At 6 months, a statistically significant improvement (p < 0.05) was measured in all clinical parameters except GR (p > 0.05). However, no statistically significant differences were found between the experimental and control procedures (p > 0.05). Statistically significant differences between the test and control sites were observed at 3 months for PD and CAL changes (p < 0.05). The DF change was statistically significant when comparing experimental and control procedures at 6 months (p < 0.05). Both procedures failed to show statistically significant differences in terms of RDA changes at 6 months (p > 0.05).CONCLUSIONWithin their limitations, the present results indicate that (a) treatment of intrabony defects with MINST, with or without application of xHyA gel, resulted in statistically significant improvements in the investigated clinical parameters at 3 and 6 months after therapy, and (b) although the adjunctive use of xHyA gel to MINST improved the clinical outcomes compared with MINST alone up to 3 months, statistically significant differences were not observed at 6 months. The study protocol was registered in ClinicalTrial.gov (NCT05188898).

AIMTo investigate the role of lncRNA Lockd in mandibular mesenchymal stem cell (M-MSC) proliferation and osteogenic capability in the inflammatory microenvironment, focusing on its interaction with SUZ12.MATERIALS AND METHODSUsing lncR Lockd knockdown/overexpression cell models and a murine periodontitis model, we explored Lockd's effects on M-MSC proliferation and osteogenic capability in the inflammatory microenvironment. Predictions from multiple databases and a series of rescue experiments revealed the regulatory role of the Lockd/SUZ12 signalling axis of M-MSC in the inflammatory microenvironment.RESULTSLockd was found to stimulate M-MSC proliferation but impair osteogenic differentiation. The in vitro studies suggested that the activation of Lockd negatively inhibited the osteogenic differentiation process and may ultimately impact bone formation in periodontitis. Mechanistically, it was elucidated that Lockd interacts with SUZ12, a core component of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), and may affect the PRC2 complex's role in osteogenic gene expression.CONCLUSIONSLockd boosts the proliferation of M-MSCs but inhibits their osteogenic differentiation by interacting with SUZ12, potentially inhibiting osteogenic capability in the inflammatory microenvironment.
