Summary: This review aimed to evaluate the efficacy of antibiotics in treating peri-implantitis. The results showed that the use of systemic metronidazole combined with ultrasonic debridement can effectively improve the outcomes of nonsurgical treatment. However, further research is needed to assess the clinical and microbiological effects of different antibiotic protocols.

Summary: This study assessed the phytotoxicity of starch modified with protein cross-linked magnetic nanoparticles (MagCS) on mung bean seeds during wastewater treatment. The results showed that MagCS had higher germination index and lower toxicity unit compared to other flocculants, and it also enhanced the photosynthetic process.

Summary: This systematic review estimates the overall prevalence of peri-implantitis and explores the impact of different study designs, function times, and use of probing depth on the prevalence rate. The results show that the prevalence of peri-implantitis is highly variable and the use of probing depth as a diagnostic criterion affects the prevalence data. It is important to identify diagnostic markers for more accurate disease classification.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of different surgical methods for peri-implantitis and found that augmentative therapy (AT) was superior to open flap debridement (OFD) in improving peri-implantitis outcomes. However, AT did not effectively reduce peri-implant soft-tissue inflammation. Resective therapy (RT), OFD, and AT did not significantly alter mucosal recession (MR).

Summary: The unit cost per exome sequencing (ES) diagnostic test for intellectual disability (ID) in the French setting was estimated to be 2,019.39 euros. Labor accounted for 50.7% of the total cost, while the analytical step represented 88% of the total cost. Sensitivity analyses showed that a decrease in the prices of the capture kit and sequencing support kit could lower the cost to 1,769 euros per ES diagnostic test for ID.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between Osteoprotegerin rs2073618 polymorphism and peri-implantitis susceptibility through a meta-analysis. The results showed that Osteoprotegerin rs2073618 polymorphism was significantly associated with peri-implantitis in the recessive model and homozygote model.

Summary: The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of smoking on the incidence of peri-implantitis. A total of 7 studies with 702 patients and 1959 implants were included for analysis. The meta-analysis revealed a significant association between smoking and the risk of peri-implantitis at both the implant and patient levels.

Summary: This study aimed to identify factors that influence the non-surgical therapeutic outcomes of peri-implantitis at 6 months. The results showed that patients with stage IV and grade C periodontitis, poor oral hygiene at baseline, and wide diameter implants (>= 4.5 mm) had higher treatment failure rates. After treatment, there was a significant decrease in probing pocket depth and bleeding on probing, and a significant gain in marginal bone level.

Summary: Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a method used to treat bone defects at peri-implantitis sites, involving the placement of bone-filler particles and the use of a barrier membrane. The effectiveness of different GBR-supported treatments and their superiority compared to non-GBR treatments remains unclear. This analysis evaluates the long-term clinical efficacy of GBR-supported surgical therapy for peri-implantitis-related bone defects.

Summary: This study reviewed economic evaluations of telemedicine published from 2008 to 2018 and analyzed the characteristics of these evaluations and the determinants of economically efficient telemedicine interventions. The majority of the studies found that telemedicine interventions are efficient, regardless of the medical domain. Articles with higher standards of economic evaluation were less likely to report an efficient intervention.

Summary: This study assessed the cost-effectiveness of various neonatal hearing screening protocols in Albania using a micro-simulation model. Findings suggest that the two-stage OAE-aABR protocol conducted in the maternity ward is considered cost-effective, while single-aABR testing detects more cases but increases referral rates and total costs.

Summary: This study conducted a scoping review to analyze the methodological issues and difficulties specific to meta-analyses of dental patient-reported outcomes (dPROs), and proposed recommendations for improving the quality of such meta-analyses. The review identified several methodological issues, such as synthesizing results from studies with different rating scales and including studies with different cut-off values in a meta-analysis. The study provided guidance on how to resolve these issues, including using the same Likert scale and conducting subgroup meta-analyses. More efforts are needed to improve the conduct and interpretation of meta-analyses on dPROs.

Summary: Many studies suggest associations between oral health and cardiovascular diseases, but there is a lack of causal evidence. This study investigated the causal effect of tooth loss on cardiovascular diseases by exploiting the relationship between tooth loss and childhood exposure to fluoridated water. The findings supported a causal effect of tooth loss on coronary heart disease and stroke.

Summary: Individuals with intellectual disability face challenges in preventing oral diseases and accessing high-quality oral health care. Assessing their oral health outcomes is necessary, but self-reported measures are often not feasible. Proxy-reported, observer-reported, and clinician-reported outcome measures are needed. Input from multidisciplinary teams is crucial for creating high-quality measures and interventions for individuals with ID.

Summary: Network meta-analysis combines direct and indirect evidence to compare multiple treatments. Biases in the direct evidence for one treatment contrast can affect estimates of other treatment contrasts. The impact of biased evidence is influenced by the network structure. This study investigated how biased evidence spreads across the network and how it is influenced by the network structure.

Summary: Component network meta-analysis (CNMA) is used to compare treatments with multiple components and estimate the effects of individual components. The standard network plot is not effective in illustrating the connections between components for CNMA. This article proposes a modified signal-flow graph to evaluate the evidence structure of CNMA.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis, finding no evidence of an association between isotretinoin use and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Therefore, isotretinoin should not be withheld due to unnecessary concerns for the development of IBD.

Summary: The current study conducted a scoping review of case reports and case series to explore the types and frequencies of uncommon complications associated with third molar extractions. An extensive literature search was performed using PubMed and Embase up to March 31, 2020, with an update on October 22, 2021. A total of 51 types of uncommon complications were identified, with the majority occurring post-operatively. The most frequent complications in the craniofacial and cervical regions included iatrogenic displacement of the molars or root fragments, late mandibular fracture, and subcutaneous emphysema, while other regions had complications such as pneumomediastinum, pneumorrhachis, pneumothorax, and pneumopericardium. Among the patients, 37 had life-threatening uncommon complications and 20 had long-term/irreversible uncommon complications associated with third molar extractions.
