Objective
The prevention of stroke is of paramount importance, and periodontal disease may play an important role in this process. This study aims to evaluate the association between periodontal disease and stroke risk.
Methods
The study was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. We comprehensively searched PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from inception to December 2024 to identify relevant studies. Quality assessment was conducted using both the original and modified versions of the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale as appropriate. Data such as sample size, region, age, and gender of participants were extracted. Odds ratios (OR) were pooled using a random-effects model, and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Sensitivity analysis, cumulative meta-analysis, multiple subgroup analyses, and publication bias assessments were also performed to assess the stability of the results.
Results
A total of 36 studies, including 7,665,431 participants, were included in the meta-analysis, consisting of 20 cohort studies, 9 case-control studies, and 7 cross-sectional studies. The findings indicate that individuals with periodontal disease have a significantly higher risk of stroke compared to the healthy population (OR: 1.724, 95% CI: 1.481-2.008). This conclusion holds across different regions, genders, and age groups. Periodontitis patients exhibited a higher risk of stroke compared to those with gingivitis (OR: 2.008 vs 1.673), and the risk of ischemic stroke was higher in individuals with periodontal disease than the risk of hemorrhagic stroke (OR: 1.846 vs 1.476). Sensitivity analysis, cumulative meta-analysis, and publication bias detection further confirm that the conclusion remains stable (Egger’s tests, P = .280 and Begg’s tests P = .703), even after imputing missing studies using the trim-and-fill method. Meta-regression analysis suggested that age may contribute to the heterogeneity observed in the studies.
Conclusions
Periodontal disease has been identified as an independent risk factor for stroke. Regular and effective dental biofilm control may help reduce the risk of stroke in patients with periodontal disease. The underlying mechanisms by which periodontal disease increases stroke risk warrant further investigation.
目的预防脑卒中至关重要,牙周病可能在卒中预防中起重要作用。本研究旨在评估牙周病与中风风险之间的关系。方法本研究按照PRISMA 2020指南进行。我们全面检索了PubMed、EMBASE、Scopus、Web of Science和Cochrane Library从成立到2024年12月的相关研究。根据情况,使用纽卡斯尔-渥太华量表的原始版本和修改版本进行质量评估。提取了参与者的样本量、地区、年龄和性别等数据。使用随机效应模型合并优势比(OR),并计算95%置信区间(CI)。还进行敏感性分析、累积荟萃分析、多亚组分析和发表偏倚评估来评估结果的稳定性。结果meta分析共纳入36项研究,包括20项队列研究、9项病例对照研究和7项横断面研究,共计7665431名受试者。研究结果表明,与健康人群相比,牙周病患者中风的风险明显更高(OR: 1.724, 95% CI: 1.481-2.008)。这一结论适用于不同的地区、性别和年龄组。与牙龈炎患者相比,牙周炎患者卒中的风险更高(OR: 2.008 vs 1.673),牙周病患者缺血性卒中的风险高于出血性卒中的风险(OR: 1.846 vs 1.476)。敏感性分析、累积荟萃分析和发表偏倚检测进一步证实结论保持稳定(Egger检验,P = )。280和Begg的检验P = .703),即使在使用修剪填充方法输入缺失的研究之后。荟萃回归分析表明,年龄可能导致研究中观察到的异质性。结论牙周病是脑卒中的独立危险因素。定期和有效的牙齿生物膜控制可能有助于降低牙周病患者中风的风险。牙周病增加中风风险的潜在机制值得进一步研究。

Background
DNA promoter methylation is one of the main epigenetic mechanisms of silencing of tumor-suppressor genes in cancer. Accumulating scientific evidence has shown various genes with aberrant DNA methylation in oral cancer (OC), however, the magnitude of the association between DNA methylation and OC risk remains controversial.
Objective
To evaluate the overall and specific impact of DNA promoter methylation on the risk of OC development.
Material and methods
PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched for eligible studies. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the included studies with a case-control design. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate the strength of the associations with R software; and Egger’s test was used to detect publication bias.
Results
A total of 41 studies including 4218 OC patients and 3478 noncancer controls were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, a significant association was found between DNA promoter methylation and OC risk (OR = 5.83, 95% CI 4.14-8.20; P < .001). In addition, the pooled ORs showed a significant association between specific tumor-related genes and OC risk: p16 (5.77; 95% CI 3.95-8.45; P < .001), ECAD (4.47; 95% CI 2.77-7.21; P < .001), MGMT (3.85; 95% CI 2.48-5.97; P < .001), DAPK (5.58; 95% CI 2.14-14.56; P < .001), hMLH1 (10.48; 95% CI 1.04-106.1; P = .047), p14 (3.21; 95% CI 1.78-5.78; P < .001), and p15 (5.02; 95% CI 2.76-9.12; P < .001).
Conclusion
A significant overall association was found between gene promoter methylation and OC risk. Specifically, the promoter methylation of p16, ECAD, MGMT, DAPK, hMLH1, p15, and p14 displayed a significant role in oral carcinogenesis, acting as promising biomarkers for OC prediction and prognosis.

Objectives
Bruxism significantly affects oral health, with consequences such as tooth wear and restoration failures. Additionally, it is linked to various risk factors and co-occurring disorders. Unlike sleep bruxism, awake bruxism (AB) is more strongly associated with psychosocial factors. This review aimed to evaluate the prevalence of AB in the general population and specific subpopulations.
Methods
The review followed PRISMA guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023398868). A literature search in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science until April 8, 2025 identified studies that fulfilled the inclusion criteria of reporting AB prevalence in adult populations. Risk of bias was assessed with Joanna Briggs Institute Prevalence Critical Appraisal Tool and a random-effects meta-analysis determined prevalence in various subpopulations.
Results
The search yielded 8,818 records, with 5,408 abstracts screened after duplicate removal. Of these, 4,473 were excluded. Full-text assessment led to the exclusion of 843 articles that did not meet inclusion criteria. A hand search identified 5 additional studies. Ultimately, 94 studies involving 49,163 individuals were included, with 66 studies (39,823 individuals) analyzed in the meta-analysis. In the general population, self-reported “possible” AB had a mean prevalence of 25.9% (95% CI 22.2-29.9), and clinically based “probable” AB 16.0% (95% CI 10.0-24.5). Prevalence was significantly higher in specific subpopulations, such as individuals with temporomandibular disorders (50.0%, 95% CI 41.1-58.9) and systemic conditions (40.1%, 95% CI 31.4-49.5). Risk of bias was mainly related to assessment of AB.
Conclusions
The variability between subpopulations highlights the importance of considering patient-specific factors and a targeted clinical approach in AB management.
目的磨牙严重影响口腔健康,导致牙齿磨损和修复失败。此外,它还与各种危险因素和共同发生的疾病有关。与睡眠磨牙症不同,清醒磨牙症(AB)与社会心理因素的关系更密切。本综述旨在评估AB在普通人群和特定亚人群中的患病率。方法该综述遵循PRISMA指南,在PROSPERO注册(CRD42023398868)。在PubMed、Scopus和Web of Science进行文献检索,直到2025年4月8日,确定了符合报告成人AB患病率纳入标准的研究。采用乔安娜布里格斯研究所流行关键评估工具评估偏倚风险,并采用随机效应荟萃分析确定不同亚群的流行程度。结果共检索到8818条记录,剔除重复后筛选出5408条摘要。其中,4473人被排除在外。全文评估导致843篇不符合纳入标准的文章被排除。手工搜索确定了另外5项研究。最终,纳入了94项研究,涉及49,163人,其中66项研究(39,823人)在荟萃分析中进行了分析。在一般人群中,自我报告的“可能”AB的平均患病率为25.9% (95% CI为22.2-29.9),而基于临床的“可能”AB的平均患病率为16.0% (95% CI为10.0-24.5)。在特定亚群中患病率明显更高,例如患有颞下颌疾病(50.0%,95% CI 41.1-58.9)和全身性疾病(40.1%,95% CI 31.4-49.5)的个体。偏倚风险主要与AB的评估有关。结论亚人群之间的差异强调了在AB管理中考虑患者特异性因素和有针对性的临床方法的重要性。

Background
Osseointegration, the direct connection between bone and implant, is crucial for dental implant success, particularly in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) where impaired bone healing poses a challenge. Surface modifications of dental implants have emerged as an effective strategy to enhance osseointegration in such compromised conditions. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the impact of various surface modifications on the osseointegration of dental implants under diabetic conditions, with a focus on alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, osteopontin (OPN) and osteocalcin (OCN) as markers of osteogenic potential.
Methods
This review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines and included studies assessing surface modifications on dental implants in diabetic models. A comprehensive literature search was performed across PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science up to July 2024. Inclusion criteria focused on studies that incorporated in vitro experiments with quantitative measurements of bone formation. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed on eight selected studies. Statistical analysis included the calculation of Response Ratios (RR) for ALP activity, and meta-analyses of OCN and OPN expression levels measured at certain time point. The pooled results were visualized using forest plots.
Results
The included studies demonstrated a consistent increase in ALP activity across surface-modified implants, particularly at 7 and 14 days postimplantation. The 7-day RR was 2.02 (95% CI: 1.76-2.29), and the 14-day RR was 1.36 (95% CI: 1.18-1.55), indicating enhanced osteogenic potential. Similarly, OCN expression at day 7 showed a significant pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) of 11.01 (95% CI: 3.02-19.00), and OPN expression at day 7 demonstrated a more consistent effect, with a pooled SMD of 3.76 (95% CI: 2.46-5.06), all suggesting a marked upregulation of osteogenic differentiation markers. However, significant heterogeneity was observed, attributed primarily to differences in cell lines and experimental conditions.
Conclusion
Surface modifications significantly enhance osseointegration of dental implants in diabetic conditions, as evidenced by increased ALP activity and elevated expression levels of key osteogenic markers such as OCN and OPN. Despite the promising results, future research should address the heterogeneity by standardizing methodologies and expanding the number of included studies to refine these techniques and their clinical applicability.

Objective
This umbrella review aims to determine if clear aligners promote cytotoxic and estrogenic effects.
Methodology
The review was conducted in conformity with the PRISMA statement. A systematic search was carried out in March of 2025 in 5 databases (Medline through PubMed, Web of Science (all databases), Cochrane Library, Embase, and Epistemonikos). All systematic reviews (SRs) that reported the cytotoxicity and/or estrogenicity of orthodontic aligners were included. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using AMSTAR-2 and the degree of overlap was analysed using Corrected Covered Area (CCA).
Results
The literature search resulted in 394 articles. Screening by title and abstract, resulted in 13 articles for full reading, and 4 articles were included in the umbrella review. According to the AMSTAR-2, all reviews were of low quality. The degree of overlap among SRs is high.
Discussion
The included SRs indicate that aligners do not have significant estrogenic/cytotoxic capacity and, even in cases of bisphenol A (BPA) leaching, this occurs at levels well below what is considered toxic. The low quality, high risk of bias, considerable overlap, and significant heterogeneity among the included studies impacts the obtained results.
Conclusion
It is not possible to affirm or refute the presence of estrogenic or cytotoxic effects or the leaching of monomers such as BPA. In the future, it is recommended that studies adopt a more detailed and prolonged analysis of BPA leaching and it is necessary to carry out clinical studies that evaluate the safety and biocompatibility of orthodontic aligners.
目的:本综述旨在确定清除对齐剂是否促进细胞毒性和雌激素作用。方法:按照PRISMA声明进行审查。系统检索于2025年3月在5个数据库(Medline通过PubMed、Web of Science(所有数据库)、Cochrane Library、Embase和Epistemonikos)中进行。所有报道正畸矫正器的细胞毒性和/或雌激素性的系统评价(SRs)都被纳入。使用AMSTAR-2评估纳入研究的质量,使用校正覆盖面积(CCA)分析重叠程度。结果检索到文献394篇。通过标题和摘要筛选,有13篇文章可供全文阅读,4篇文章被纳入总括性综述。根据AMSTAR-2,所有的评论都是低质量的。sr之间的重叠程度很高。所包括的SRs表明,校准剂没有显著的雌激素/细胞毒性能力,即使在双酚A (BPA)浸出的情况下,其水平也远低于被认为有毒的水平。纳入研究的低质量、高偏倚风险、大量重叠和显著异质性影响了获得的结果。结论不可能肯定或反驳雌激素或细胞毒性作用的存在或单体如双酚a的浸出。在未来的研究中,建议对BPA浸出进行更详细和更长期的分析,并有必要开展临床研究,评估正畸矫正器的安全性和生物相容性。

Objectives
Aloe Vera might be beneficial to improve periodontal condition. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate Aloe Vera’s clinical efficacy as an adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP) for nonsurgical periodontal therapy.
Methods
We included relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the effectiveness of Aloe Vera (I) with a (placebo) control (C) on periodontal parameters (O) in in adults with periodontitis (P) (registration number: CRD42022336946). PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science were searched. Mean difference (MD) with standard deviations of clinical outcomes were extracted and pooled from three studies.
Results
Three studies were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. Adjunctive Aloe Vera treatment reduced probing pocket depth (PPD), with MD = −0.47 (−0.78/−0.16) at 3 months, MD = −0.29 (−0.53/−0.06) at 6 months, and MD: −1.06 (−2.04/−0.08) at 12 months, compared to the control group. Overall differences for clinical attachment level (CAL) were found to be −0.56 (−0.85/−0.27) at 6 months and −0.98 (−1.28/−0.68) at 12 months, which indicated a statistically significant result favoring the test group over the control group. No significant differences were observed in reducing plaque index (PI), bleeding index (BI) at 6 months and CAL at 3 months in the local administration of Aloe Vera to SRP. Adjunctive Aloe Vera treatment reduced BI (MD: −0.40; −0.62/−0.18) at 12 months with respect to the control group.
Conclusions
In comparison to SRP alone/placebo, the supplementary use of Aloe Vera in SRP results in improved periodontal treatment outcomes.
Limitations
Limited by the quality and number of studies, the evidence was not reliable enough to support any clinical advice.
Clinical significance
The subgingival administration of Aloe Vera may be clinically efficacious for managing periodontal diseases.
