Morphometric and histopathological evaluation of the effect of grape seed proanthocyanidin on alveolar bone loss in experimental diabetes and periodontitis
ConclusionWithin the limits of this animal study, it can be suggested that GSPE administration may decrease periodontal inflammation and alveolar bone loss via decreasing MMP‐8 and HIF‐1α levels and increase osteoblastic activity in diabetic rats with experimental periodontitis.

Association of salivary lactate dehydrogenase level with systemic inflammation in a Japanese population
ConclusionSalivary LDH appears to be a promising biomarker for the mass screening of periodontitis in local community health settings. High salivary LDH levels, particularly in overweight individuals might contribute to prevention of cardiovascular disease, through measuring systemic inflammatory burdens as well as traditional cardiovascular risk factors.

Degradation pattern of a porcine collagen membrane in an in vivo model of guided bone regeneration
ConclusionThe collagen membrane investigated was biocompatible and able to promote bone regeneration. However, pronounced signs of degradation were observed starting from day 30. Since successful regeneration is obtained only when cell occlusion and space maintenance exist for the healing time needed by the bone progenitor cells to repopulate the defect, the suitability of collagen membranes in cases where long‐lasting barriers are needed needs to be further reviewed.

Topical application of glycyrrhetinic acid in the gingival sulcus inhibits attachment loss in lipopolysaccharide ‐induced experimental periodontitis in rats
ConclusionsIn the present study, we showed that GA inhibits periodontal destruction in the rat experimental periodontitis model. (Source: Journal of Periodontal Research)

Efficacy of local phytotherapy in the nonsurgical treatment of periodontal disease: A systematic review
Herbal drugs are commonly used in the treatment of several diseases, including periodontitis. So far, no systematic review had evaluated the evidence regarding the efficacy of these agents in the treatment of periodontal disease. Therefore, the purpose of this review was to evaluate the effect of local application of phytotherapic agents as adjuncts to scaling and root planing (SRP), compared to SRP alone, on clinical parameters of chronic periodontal patients. Only randomized controlled trials of at least 3 months follow‐up, of SRP alone in association with local phytotherapic agents were included. MEDLINE (PubMed), Go...

Clinical and microbiological evaluation of the effect of Lactobacillus reuteri in the treatment of mucositis and peri ‐implantitis: A triple‐blind randomized clinical trial
ConclusionsThe administration of a daily lozenge of L. reuteri for 30 days, together with mechanical debridement of the whole mouth, improved the clinical parameters of implants with mucositis or peri‐implantitis over a period of at least 90 days, but the microbiological effect was much more limited. Probiotics provide an alternative therapeutic approach to consider in the prevention and treatment of peri‐implant diseases, but further long‐term prospective studies with standardized variables are needed.
