Summary: This study found significant differences in the oral microbiota of patients with PD compared to healthy controls, possibly due to factors such as dysphagia, drooling, and salivary pH. Understanding the factors influencing their oral microbiota could lead to the development of diagnostic and treatment strategies to improve the quality of life and survival of these patients.

Summary: Nonventilator hospital-associated pneumonia has become an important preventable hospital-associated infection and a leading cause of healthcare-associated infection. Poor oral health is linked to an increased risk of pneumonia caused by different pathogens. Oral care plays a crucial role in preventing nonventilator hospital-associated pneumonia.

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: The efficacy of air polishing compared to hand or ultrasonic instrumentation in reducing periodontal inflammation was found to be similar in the review of 13 studies. However, caution is needed in interpreting the findings due to methodological issues and potential conflicts of interest related to industry funding.

Summary: Poor oral hygiene can lead to dental plaque accumulation and the development of periodontal disease. Local infections trigger systemic inflammatory responses, which play a crucial role in the progression of systemic diseases or cancer. Patients hospitalized with gastric cancer may neglect their oral health. This study evaluates the oral hygiene, periodontal status, and the need for medical personnel to assist in oral care for hospitalized gastric cancer patients.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the oral health status of patients undergoing multiple medical treatments in hospital wards. The results showed that manual toothbrushes and mouthwash were widely used among patients, but only a few used interproximal aids.

Summary: The study found that cancer patients exposed to bisphosphonates for at least 7 months with poor oral health condition are more likely to develop medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. Patients with osteonecrosis typically have multiple decayed teeth, gingival problems, and periodontal disease. Oral infections seem to play a major role in the development of bone necrosis.

Summary: This review discusses the association between dietary nitrate and oral health and proposes that microbial nitrate reduction may have benefits for oral health. Nitrate has been shown to increase resilience against salivary acidification, preventing tooth decay. Additionally, nitrate can inhibit sensitive bacteria associated with periodontal diseases. Nitrate may stimulate eubiosis and promote oral health.

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.

Summary: This review investigates the knowledge gap of parents and caregivers regarding children's oral health. Current evidence suggests that parents and caregivers have limited knowledge about their children's oral health, lacking awareness of the importance of oral disease prevention due to neglect of oral hygiene and insufficient information from healthcare professionals and institutions.

Summary: During pregnancy, dental plaque-induced gingivitis prevalence and subsequent risk of periodontal disease increases substantially. Previous clinical trials involving mechanical debridement to remove plaque biofilm have not yielded decreased rates of preterm birth. We hypothesized that an advanced oral hygiene program may improve the periodontal milieu and reduce the rate of spontaneous preterm birth.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and periodontal health. The results showed that the relationship between inflammatory load of the diet and periodontal diseases is not clear. The study found that DII is related to gingival index (GI), but not to plaque index (PI).

Summary: Periodontal diseases are a result of the disruption in the balance between host defense and periodontal microorganisms, with significant correlation between bacterial concentrations and periodontal pathology. Microbial identification testing can provide strong evidence for accurate diagnosis and treatment, with targeted antibiotic therapy effective in reducing bacterial concentrations and improving periodontal indices, elucidating the development and treatment process of periodontal diseases.

Summary: The study found that patients who adhered to annual maintenance visits for 3.5 years after implant surgery showed a stable peri-implant condition. The average peri-implant bleeding score for male patients decreased significantly over time, while the peri-implant pocket probing depth for male patients was significantly deeper at baseline and at the 3.5-year follow-up.
