Impact of a non ‐fluoridated microcrystalline hydroxyapatite dentifrice on enamel caries progression in highly caries‐susceptible orthodontic patients: A randomized, controlled 6‐month trial
ConclusionIn highly caries ‐active patients, the impact of the regular use of a microcrystalline HAP dentifrice on caries progression is not significantly different from the use of a 1400 ppm fluoride toothpaste (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02705456).

Peri ‐implantitis risk factors: A prospective evaluation
ConclusionThe observed results applied to the evaluation model are an effective diagnostic tool in assessing the risk of peri ‐implantitis. The tool takes into account parameters, which have not been taken into account until now. The information is automatically processed and allows early management of peri‐implantitis.

Oral and uro ‐vaginal intra‐amniotic infection in women with preterm delivery: A case‐control study
ConclusionThe presence ofP.  gingivalis in the placenta was not associated with perinatal complications. Detecting microorganisms in the placenta by nested PCR is not relevant, as it has a poor association with clinical variables that establish the diagnosis of chorioamnionitis. However, periodontitis was associated with the clinical signs of intra ‐amniotic infection and PTD. (Source: Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry)

Unerupted permanent incisors and associated dental anomalies
ConclusionsUnerupted permanent incisors were associated with supernumerary teeth and ectopic eruption of permanent canines. Specifically, a higher proportion of unerupted maxillary central incisors was associated with the presence of supernumerary teeth, whereas a higher percentage of unerupted maxillary lateral incisors was associated with the ectopic eruption of permanent canines.

Effect of local probiotic (Lactobacillus reuteri) vs systemic antibiotic therapy as an adjunct to non ‐surgical periodontal treatment in chronic periodontitis
ConclusionThe adjunctive use ofL.  reuteri and systemic antibiotics along with SRP showed similar improvement in all clinical periodontal parameters. This indicates that both adjunctive therapeutic agents showed similar efficacy in resolving inflammation and improving periodontal outcomes. (Source: Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry)

Non ‐oral, aerobic, Gram‐negative bacilli in the oral cavity of Thai HIV‐positive patients on Highly‐active anti‐retrovirus therapy medication
AbstractIn the present study, we identified and evaluated the antibiotic susceptibility of 96 independent, aerobic, Gram ‐negative bacillus isolates from 255 Thai HIV‐positive adults who were on Highly‐active anti‐retrovirus therapy (HAART) medication. Another 46 isolates from HIV non‐HAART individuals, vertically transmitted HIV‐positive individuals, and non‐HIV controls were included for comparison. A total of 103 strains were tested for antibiotic susceptibility using disc diffusion for screening and E‐test for minimal inhibitory concentration determination, with special attention on extended‐spectrum ...

Detection of herpes viruses in Ghanaian patients with periodontitis
ConclusionWe found HSV ‐1 and EBV in the subgingival plaque samples of Ghanaian patients clinically diagnosed with aggressive periodontitis. While our finding requires further investigation, the role of HSV in periodontitis, if elucidated, could transform and inform the clinical management of the condition.
