Summary: The study found that males were more likely to be afflicted with COVID-19, while advanced age was associated with a higher prevalence of periodontitis. The severity of periodontitis was linked to an increased likelihood of needing assisted ventilation, hospital admission, death, and COVID-19-related pneumonia. The aMMP-8 mouthrinse kit was slightly more sensitive than site-specific tests.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of periodontitis on the expression of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) miRNAs associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. The results showed that periodontitis and its extent were significant predictors of GCF miRNAs concentration. The findings highlight the importance of periodontitis in relation to CVD risk.

Summary: This study reviewed the current uses of chlorhexidine in dentistry and highlighted the most effective protocols that maximize clinical efficacy while minimizing adverse drug reactions. The results showed that chlorhexidine serves various purposes and is primarily used as an adjunct to different treatments. Mouthwash is the preferred medium for preventing gingivitis and maintaining oral hygiene. Chlorhexidine products are commonly used in periodontics and postoral surgical procedures with minimal side effects. The antimicrobial properties of chlorhexidine make it an ideal prophylactic when mechanical debridement is not possible.

Summary: This study developed a lightweight deep CNN for binary classification of oral lesions, achieving high accuracy and sensitivity in oral cancer diagnosis. The use of pretrained models and clinical image datasets demonstrated the effectiveness of deep CNNs in improving oral cancer screening and early detection through artificial intelligence.

Summary: Both fixed and removable implant-supported prostheses are effective methods for replacing missing teeth, with high survival rates. However, technical complications can still occur, and comprehensive pre-treatment diagnosis and selection of the appropriate prosthesis are crucial for treatment success.

Summary: The objective of this study was to review the experimental staining procedures performed in in-vitro studies for evaluating color stability of resin-based composites used for direct restorations. The study identified a large variety of staining procedures used in evaluating the color stability of resin-based composites. The findings suggest the need for standardization of staining procedures in order to predict the clinical performance of these materials.

Summary: Irrigation is the primary method for cleaning and disinfection of the root canal system, but it faces challenges in eliminating bacteria located in the root canal system's intricate structures. Sodium hypochlorite is the preferred irrigant, and syringe and ultrasonic activation are the most popular irrigation methods. There is no evidence that adjunct irrigation methods can improve treatment outcomes beyond what can be achieved by instrumentation and syringe irrigation. Future research should focus on redefining priorities, investigating the penetration and effects of irrigants, and conducting clinically relevant comparisons.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a deep learning approach for caries detection and compare it with expert standards, showing that artificial intelligence achieved over 90% agreement in caries detection on intraoral images. Although highly accurate, further improvements are still necessary for the current approach.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the 20-year clinical outcomes of tissue-level implants in patients with a history of periodontitis and in periodontally healthy patients. The results showed that tissue-level implants, placed after comprehensive periodontal therapy and supportive periodontal care, had favorable long-term results. However, patients with a history of periodontitis who did not comply with supportive periodontal care were at higher risk of complications and implant loss.

Summary: Surgical interventions are often necessary for managing peri-implantitis, with flap surgery improving treatment outcomes. While nonaugmentative therapies aim to resolve inflammation, augmentative approaches also seek to regenerate bone defects and achieve reosseointegration. Limited evidence supports the superiority of augmentative surgical techniques over nonaugmentation methods for peri-implantitis treatment.
