Summary: In a series of studies, it was found that heavier use of social media was associated with stronger false consensus effects, although these effects were smaller in magnitude than lay beliefs about these linkages.

Summary: This study aimed to identify studies with clustering effects in periodontology and oral implantology specialty journals, and assess the frequency of correctly accounting for clustering effects in statistical analysis. The results showed that 45.0% of the included studies correctly accounted for clustering effects. Certain journals and animal studies had lower odds of correct accounting, while higher odds were associated with increased impact factor, involvement of a statistician, and study designs including repeated measures or both clustering and repeated measures. The findings highlight the importance of raising awareness about accounting for clustering effects to prevent incorrect inferences.

Summary: The study found significant differences in age and monthly income between the GP and GP with CHD groups. Plaque index (PI), clinical attachment level (CAL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) also showed significant levels between the two groups. The NLRP3 (rs35829419) and IL-1 beta (+3954) genes exhibited a statistically significant association with allele change frequency among the groups.

Summary: The study found a significant association between homocysteine serum levels and blood pressure, periodontal inflamed surface area, periodontal epithelial surface area, and age. Both the periodontal inflamed surface area and periodontal epithelial surface area played important mediating roles in the association between homocysteine and systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure.

Summary: This study found that good oral health-related behavior was associated with a more frequent history of thyroid disease. Higher CPI values showed a significant association with TFT abnormalities, but the significance decreased after adjusting for other variables like age and sex.

Summary: Research findings have shown that increasing self-reported gingival bleeding frequency is associated with increased gingival bacterial diversity. Frequent gingival bleeding is associated with increased abundance of certain bacteria (such as Porphyromonas endodontalis, Treponema denticola, and Fretibacterium spp.), but decreased abundance of bacteria within the gram-positive phyla Firmicutes and Actinobacteria. Additionally, using dental floss and mouthwash twice daily is associated with increased total abundance of bacteria in the Proteobacteria phylum, but decreased bacterial diversity.

Summary: Periodontitis is potentially a risk factor for the development of atheroma in the arteries, highlighting the association between periodontal disease and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Early diagnosis and treatment of periodontitis may be crucial in reducing complications associated with ACVDs. Further research with longer follow-up is needed to confirm the causal relationship between periodontal disease and ACVDs.

Summary: Observational studies have shown that dental diseases increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, but the causal relationship between periodontal disease and cardiovascular diseases is still unclear. Using large-scale genome-wide association studies, two-sample Mendelian randomization was conducted to assess the association between genetic liability for dental diseases and major cardiovascular diseases. The results did not support dental diseases as the causes of cardiovascular diseases, and it is suggested that the observed associations may be explained by shared risk factors and comorbidities.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between certain biomolecules and gum and heart disease. The findings indicated that patients with severe gum disease and poor oral health may develop heart problems in the future, highlighting the importance of early prevention of oral diseases and gum ailments to reduce the risk of future heart diseases.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to characterize and compare the subgingival microbiome before and after periodontal treatment to investigate the correlation between intra-oral halitosis and bacterial levels. The results showed that Fusobacterium nucleatum, Capnocytophaga gingivalis, and Campylobacter showaei were correlated with the reduction of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) after treatment. Additionally, Capnocytophaga sputigena showed a significant reverse correlation between VSCs variation before and after treatment. The study suggests that the subgingival microbiome can provide important insights into the pathogenesis and treatment of halitosis.

Summary: The human oral cavity harbors a diverse microbial community, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Recent studies have shown an association between certain viruses and oral inflammatory diseases. Understanding viral prevalence, pathogenicity, and tissue preference in the oral cavity is crucial for comprehending the overall impact of viruses on oral infections.
