Abstract
BACKGROUND An increasing number of patients with advanced stages of periodontitis are seeking for treatment options. The study aimed to determine interest in orthodontic treatment (OT) and its association with oral health status and knowledge about the disease in adult subjects with stage III-IV periodontitis. METHODS 96 subjects ≥ 30 years, with stage III-IV periodontitis agreed to fill in a questionnaire and undergo a comprehensive periodontal-orthodontic examination. The questionnaire included 44 questions: demographic, dental, health related habits, self-perceived overall and oral health, knowledge of periodontitis, and attitude toward OT. The statistical analysis was performed using a paired-sample T-test, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) and binary logistic regression analysis (LRA). RESULTS Stage IV periodontitis was observed in 32.3% of subjects and Class II malocclusion was most prevalent (53.1%). More than half of subjects were interested in OT. Oral health, knowledge about periodontitis and age were significant predictors for interest in OT. CONCLUSIONS Knowledge spread about OT possibilities in advanced stages of periodontitis is very important both for the dental community and older subjects to save natural dentition.

Abstract
The oral microbiota plays an important role in the exogenous nitrate reduction pathway and is associated with heart and periodontal disease and cigarette smoking. We describe smoking-related changes in oral microbiota composition and resulting potential metabolic pathway changes that may explain smoking-related changes in disease risk. We analyzed health information and salivary microbiota composition among 1601 Cooperative Health Research in South Tyrol participants collected 2017-2018. Salivary microbiota taxa were assigned from amplicon sequences of the 16S-V4 rRNA and used to describe microbiota composition and predict metabolic pathways. Aerobic taxa relative abundance decreased with daily smoking intensity and increased with years since cessation, as did inferred nitrate reduction. Former smokers tended to be more similar to Never smokers than to Current smokers, especially those who had quit for longer than 5 years. Cigarette smoking has a consistent, generalizable association on oral microbiota composition and predicted metabolic pathways, some of which associate in a dose-dependent fashion. Smokers who quit for longer than 5 years tend to have salivary microbiota profiles comparable to never smokers.

Abstract
Introduction Mild-to-moderate gingivitis is treatable by effective toothbrushing with appropriate over-the-counter oral health care products; however, rates remain high.Aim To determine patient knowledge of gingivitis and dentists' views on management.Methods Surveys were completed by dentists and dental hospital patients.Results In total, 224 patients and 50 dentists participated. Clinical health, gingivitis, or periodontitis was detected in 2%, 33% and 56% of patients, respectively; 32% reported never suffering gingival bleeding. Moreover, 74% of patients reported gingival health as very important but only 53.7% with gingivitis occasionally/often were moderately-extremely worried about their symptoms. More than 50% of patients knew gingivitis causes poor oral health but <20% knew it elevated risks of other systemic conditions. Patients thought education on risks associated with poor oral health and product recommendations were most likely, and daily reminders least likely, to improve compliance with oral health advice (OHA). Also, 40% of dentists thought their patients were relatively unaware of the importance of gingival health, 76.9% of their patient-base had gingivitis, and 96% give OHA to these patients but only 30% thought this effected improvement. The most useful tools for improving oral health were better patient knowledge of the consequences and one-to-one instruction.Conclusion Patients struggle to attain oral health following OHA. Education about gingivitis-associated risks might improve OHA compliance.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this retrospective analysis was to evaluate, in adult patients treated for periodontitis, the periodontal stability during supportive periodontal therapy (SPT). Methods Data were collected and analyzed retrospectively for periodontitis patients aged ≥36 years who underwent active periodontal therapy (APT) and were following an SPT programme. The stability of the APT success, defined as a probing pocket depth (PPD) of ≤5 mm, was the main outcome parameter. Analyses were performed in which PPD, tooth loss (TL), bleeding on probing (BOP), periodontal epithelium surface area (PESA), and the effects of age, gender, smoking status, and the number of years in SPT were evaluated. The annual TL and BOP of <10% in addition to a PPD of ≤5 mm were considered to be secondary outcome variables. Results In total, 993 patients were included, in 36% of whom a PPD ≤5 mm was found at the evaluation of APT. If the outcome was defined as a BOP of <10% in addition to a PPD of ≤5 mm, this was present in only 16% of the patients. During SPT, a small overall increase in clinical parameters for the total population and an annual average TL of 0.15 per patient was observed. Patients of male gender and smokers negatively affected the success of SPT. Conclusion The periodontal clinical status remained ‘fairly’ stable during SPT in chronic periodontitis patients aged ≥36 years. Smoking negatively affects the outcome of APT and periodontal stability during SPT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the potential interactions among long noncoding RNA domain containing 1-antisense (lncRNA DCST1-AS1), miR-21, and periodontal ligament-associated protein-1 (PLAP-1) in periodontitis. BACKGROUND DATA DISCUSSING THE PRESENT STATE OF THE FIELD It has been verified that miR-21 can target PLAP-1 to regulate the osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs). METHODS Differential expression of DCST1-AS1 and miR-21 in PDLCs derived from periodontitis patients and healthy controls was determined by qPCR and unpaired t test. QPCR and Western blots were conducted to evaluate the effects of overexpression of DCST1-AS1 and miR-21 on the expression of PLAP-1. CCK-8 assay was applied to evaluate the effect of DCST1-ASI, miR-21, or PLAP-1 on PDLCs' proliferation. Western blotting was conducted to detect the expression levels of CKD family (CDK4, CDK6, and CCND1). RESULTS DCST1-AS1 was downregulated in PDLCs derived from periodontitis patients, and its expression was inversely correlated with the expression of miR-2 but positively correlated with PLAP-1. Bioinformatics analysis showed that DCST1-AS1 might bind with miR-21 precursor but not mature miR-21. Transfection experiments showed that overexpression of DCST1-AS1 led to decreased expression levels of miR-21 and significantly increased the expression levels of PLAP-1 at both mRNA and protein levels, while overexpression of miR-21 resulted in a dramatic lower level of PLAP-1. CCK-8 assay indicated that overexpression of DCST1-AS1 or PLAP-1 prohibited PDLCs' proliferation. However, elevation of miR-21 had a contrary effect on the proliferation of PDLCs. And increased expression levels of DCST1-AS1 could significantly inhibit the expression of CDK4, CDK6, and CCND-1, while overexpression of miR-21 inversed the effects of DCST1-AS1. CONCLUSION Therefore, the expression levels of DCST1-AS1 are much lower in periodontitis patients compared to that in healthy controls, and overexpression of DCST1-AS1 can significantly elevate the expression of PLAP-1 by inhibiting miR-21 in PDLCs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent findings about the differential gene expression signature of periodontal lesions have raised the hypothesis of distinctive biological phenotypes expressed by generalized chronic periodontitis (GCP) and generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP) patients. Therefore, this cross-sectional investigation was planned, primarily, to determine the ability of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic analysis of unstimulated whole saliva to discriminate GCP and GAgP disease-specific metabolomic fingerprint and, secondarily, to assess potential metabolites discriminating periodontitis patients from periodontally healthy individuals (HI). METHODS NMR-metabolomics spectra were acquired from salivary samples of patients with a clinical diagnosis of GCP (n = 33) or GAgP (n = 28) and from HI (n = 39). The clustering of HI, GCP, and GAgP patients was achieved by using a combination of the Principal Component Analysis and Canonical Correlation Analysis on the NMR profiles. RESULTS These analyses revealed a significant predictive accuracy discriminating HI from GCP, and discriminating HI from GAgP patients (both 81%). In contrast, the GAgP and GCP saliva samples seem to belong to the same metabolic space (60% predictive accuracy). Significantly lower levels (P < 0.05) of pyruvate, N-acetyl groups and lactate and higher levels (P < 0.05) of proline, phenylalanine, and tyrosine were found in GCP and GAgP patients compared with HI. CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this study, CGP and GAgP metabolomic profiles were not unequivocally discriminated through a NMR-based spectroscopic analysis of saliva.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontal disease (PD) is a multifactorial inflammatory condition in which inappropriate interaction between the host immune response and specific groups of bacterial pathogens leads to destruction of connective and bone tissues supporting the tooth. Dissemination of pathogens, toxins, and immune complexes from and to periodontal lesions is at the basis of the increasingly recognized association between PD and various systemic diseases (SDs). Considering the growing attention of the medical community to "gender medicine", this review focuses on the association between PD and six systemic conditions heavily impacting women's health, with the aim of providing evidence in support of a joint effort between physicians and dentists to improve clinical management of these conditions. METHODS We considered systematic reviews, meta-analyses and narrative reviews evaluating all possible associations between periodontitis, systemic diseases and women. RESULTS Gender prevalence for PD is discordant, but the literature strongly supports an association between PD and female infertility and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Moreover, PD is bidirectionally linked to several systemic diseases characterized by an established female gender bias, i.e. osteoporosis (OP), cardiovascular diseases (CVD), autoimmunity, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cancer. CONCLUSIONS Overall, the literature data reviewed here provides a strong foundation for further characterization of molecular and microbial drivers of PD and of several female-prevalent systemic diseases, highlighting the possible importance of a good oral condition in preventing or attenuating women's systemic diseases.
