R202Q/M694V as novel MEFV gene mutations in chronic periodontitis and familial Mediterranean fever
ConclusionThis is the first study to report the R202Q mutation in patients with periodontitis. Furthermore, the MEFV gene‐mediated inflammatory pathway increased serum acute phase reactants, and the changes in the R202Q and M694V could play a role in inflammatory‐genetic diseases, such as FMF, FMF‐associated amyloidosis and chronic periodontitis.

Steatosis caused by experimental periodontitis is reversible after removal of ligature in rats
ConclusionOur results demonstrate that the microvesicular steatosis caused by periodontitis in rats is reversible after removal of the ligature, which is associated with the increase in oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in the liver. (Source: Journal of Periodontal Research)

Orthodontic tensile strain induces angiogenesis via type IV collagen degradation by matrix metalloproteinase ‐12
ConclusionWe discovered that the orthodontic tensile strain upregulates MMP‐12 expression in the tension zone of PDL and induces angiogenesis via degradation of Col‐IV in the vascular endothelial basement membrane. (Source: Journal of Periodontal Research)

Increasing popularity of waterpipe tobacco smoking and electronic cigarette use: Implications for oral healthcare
Cigarette smoking increases the risk of developing several systemic conditions including cancer, cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Cigarette smoking is also detrimental to oral health as it increases the incidence and severity of oral cancer, periodontal diseases and peri‐implantitis, as well as impacting negatively on the dental patients' response to therapy. Therefore, consideration of smoking behavior and recommendation of smoking cessation are important parts of dental treatment planning. However, cigarettes are no longer the most popular form of tobacco use among adolescents in the United States and globally. I...
