Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of primary hyperparathyroidism on oral health and found that the effects were linked to the severity of the disease. The results showed that tooth extraction rates slightly increased during the first two years after parathyroidectomy, but the rate of periodontal interventions decreased. Patients with more severe primary hyperparathyroidism were more likely to undergo tooth extractions and periodontal interventions after parathyroidectomy.

Summary: The study found strong correlations in periodontal characteristics between adjacent teeth, especially in severe periodontitis cases. Teeth adjacent to TLPD tooth were observed to have the most severe alveolar bone loss.

Summary: Based on the findings of the National Study of Adult Oral Health in Australia, nearly one third of Australian adults had untreated dental caries, 29% had gingivitis, and 30.1% had periodontitis. Poorer oral health was evident in Australians from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, indicating socioeconomic inequalities in oral health. Time trends showed improvement in dental caries experience and tooth retention over 30 years, but deterioration in periodontal health between 2004-06 and 2017-18.

Summary: The study found that after dental treatment, certain hard foods require more chews per gram, which is associated with an increased number of extractions. However, there was no change in mastication function for other foods and children's food preferences after treatment.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of active periodontal therapy supplemented by supportive periodontal care in retaining dentition in patients susceptible to periodontitis, and to assess prognostic factors associated with tooth loss. The results showed that periodontal therapy and strict supportive periodontal care are effective in maintaining most teeth, and age, gender, molar teeth, pocket depth, bone loss, and the presence of a root canal treatment and a crown are prognostic factors associated with tooth loss.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of tamoxifen on tooth loss in breast cancer survivors. The results showed that longer use of tamoxifen was associated with greater tooth loss. Additionally, factors such as age, referral for treatment by the public healthcare system, less use of dental services, xerostomia, and a lower occurrence of dental caries were also found to be associated with tooth loss.

Summary: This study highlights the importance of oral hygiene habits, initial bone loss, caries, and endodontic disease in predicting tooth survival in a primary care setting. Patients who did not receive professional mechanical plaque removal had a slightly higher rate of tooth loss compared to those who did.

Summary: The study found associations between gingivitis, periodontitis, and tooth loss with preterm delivery. As the severity of gingivitis or periodontitis increased, the percentage of preterm delivery cases also increased.

Summary: This study evaluated the relationship between the residual periodontal ligament in extracted teeth and the indications for extraction, finding that a large proportion of teeth extracted for periodontal indications could potentially have been maintained based on the remaining periodontal ligament.

Summary: Oral diseases such as periodontal disease and dental caries are associated with dysbiosis of the oral microbiome and metabolome. This study compared the salivary microbiome and metabolome of healthy individuals with those with oral diseases. The results showed that dental treatment improved oral health conditions, but differences in the salivary microbiome and metabolome persisted even after disease remission. The study emphasized the importance of understanding and addressing oral dysbiosis to prevent disease recurrence.

Summary: Graphene, a two-dimensional carbon-based nanomaterial, has attracted great interest in the field of dentistry due to its favorable physicochemical properties. It shows potential applications in caries and periodontal disease management, exhibiting antimicrobial activities and promoting tissue regeneration.

Summary: This study found a positive correlation between the quantity of Candida species in whole saliva and age, and an independent association between Candida carriage in saliva and dental caries, which supports the etiological role of Candida in dental cariogenesis among adults.

Summary: The study found a significant association between periodontal disease and systemic inflammatory conditions, with conditions like hypertension, arthritis, and diabetes affecting the severity of bone loss, while diabetes and lupus were linked to the extent of missing teeth.

Summary: Periodontal disease can have a systemic impact on the body, with potential links to other diseases like oral cancer. It is unclear if specific periodontal bacteria play a role in promoting systemic illness, but research suggests a correlation between periodontitis and oral cancer. Additional research is needed to strengthen this link and understand the mediators between these two pathologies.

Summary: The oral microbiome composition and gene-expression profiles play crucial roles in disease development, especially in periodontal disease and caries. The functional activities of different species within the subgingival microbiota are interconnected, and efforts are being made to identify changes associated with transitions between health and disease.
