Treatment of gingival recession: when and how?
Gingival recession is a common finding in daily clinical practice. Several issues may be associated with the apical shift of the gingival margin such as dentine hypersensitivity, root caries, non ‐carious cervical lesions (NCCLs), and compromised aesthetics. The first step in an effective management and prevention program is to identify susceptibility factors and modifiable conditions associated with gingival recession. Non‐surgical treatment options for gingival recession defects includ e establishment of optimal plaque control, removal of overhanging subgingival restorations, behaviour change interventions, and use o...

Trends in self ‐rated poor oral health among all age populations in Korea from 2007 to 2015: monitoring expansion of dental insurance
Conclusions: Self ‐rated poor oral health improved among younger people in Korea. The gender gap in the prevalence increased with age and persisted over time. However, income was the strongest determinant of SRPOH among all age groups, regardless of dental insurance expansion. Further studies should aim to draw cau sal inferences to explore the policy impact of dental insurance benefits. (Source: International Dental Journal)

Periodontal treatment is associated with improvement in gastric Helicobacter pylori eradication: an updated meta ‐analysis of clinical trials
ConclusionAlthough the inclusion of five additional clinical trials in this updated meta ‐analysis has not changed the result of the previous review, the current meta‐analysis is superior for having removed one study involving the use of chlorhexidine, which did not meet appropriate criteria for inclusion. Our results strengthen the value of periodontal treatment as an adjunctive re medy. Consistency of these results suggests that the incorporation of professional periodontal treatment with systemic eradication therapy may be a wise strategy, enhancing the efficacy ofH.  pylori eradication therapy.Systematic review re...
