Improvement of periodontal parameters following intensive diabetes care and supragingival dental prophylaxis in patients with type 2 diabetes: A prospective cohort study. J Clin Periodontol 2024; 51:733-741. [PMID: 38449337 DOI: 10.1111/jcpe.13958] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024]
Abstract
AIM This study aimed to investigate the effects of diabetes care on periodontal inflammation. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective cohort study included 51 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes who underwent intensive diabetes care including educational hospitalization and regular outpatient treatment for 6 months. Dental prophylaxis without subgingival scaling was provided three times during the observational period. Associations between changes in periodontal parameters and glycaemic control levels were evaluated using multiple regression analysis. RESULTS Overall, 33 participants (mean age: 58.7 ± 12.9) were followed up for 6 months. At baseline examination, 82% were diagnosed with Stage III or IV periodontitis. Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level changed from 9.6 ± 1.8% at baseline to 7.4 ± 1.3% at 6 months. The ratio of probing pocket depth (PPD) ≥4 mm, bleeding on probing (BOP), full-mouth plaque control record (PCR), periodontal epithelial surface area (PESA) and periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA) also significantly improved. The reduction in PPD and PESA was significantly associated with changes in both HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels, and the reduction in PISA was significantly associated with an improvement in FPG after adjusting for smoking, change in body mass index and full-mouth PCR. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to report a significant improvement in PPD and BOP after intensive diabetes care and dental prophylaxis without subgingival scaling. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER UMIN000040218.

Abstract
Peri-implantitis is a plaque-associated pathological condition occurring in tissues around dental implants. It is characterized by inflammation in the peri-implant mucosa and progressive loss of supporting bone. Over the last 30 years, peri-implantitis has become a major disease burden in dentistry. An understanding of the diagnosis, etiology and pathogenesis, epidemiology, and treatment of peri-implantitis must be a central component in undergraduate and postgraduate training programs in dentistry. In view of the strong role of European research in periodontology and implant dentistry, the focus of this review was to address peri-implantitis from a European perspective. One component of the work was to summarize new and reliable data on patients with dental implants to underpin the relevance of peri-implantitis from a population perspective. The nature of the peri-implantitis lesion was evaluated through results presented in preclinical models and evaluations of human biopsy material together with an appraisal of the microbiological characteristics. An overview of strategies and outcomes presented in clinical studies on nonsurgical and surgical treatment of peri-implantitis is discussed with a particular focus on end points of therapy and recommendations presented in the S3 level Clinical Practice Guideline for the prevention and treatment of peri-implant diseases.

Clinical outcomes of periodontal regenerative therapy with carbonate apatite granules for treatments of intrabony defects, Class II and Class III furcation involvements: A 9-month prospective pilot clinical study. Regen Ther 2023; 24:343-350. [PMID: 37674693 PMCID: PMC10477744 DOI: 10.1016/j.reth.2023.08.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Carbonated apatite (CO3Ap) has unique properties as an alloplastic bone substitute and has been reported the safety and efficacy for bone regeneration. However, no previous studies reported the clinical application of CO3Ap for periodontal regeneration therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of periodontal regeneration with CO3Ap in treating intrabony defects, Class II and Class III furcation involvement (FI). Methods A single-arm and single-center prospective pilot clinical study was performed to verify the safety and efficacy of CO3Ap in patients with periodontitis. A total of four patients with seven teeth, including three deep intrabony defects, two Class II FI, and two Class III FI, were treated with CO3Ap. The clinical parameters, including probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), tooth mobility (Mo), Plaque index (PI), and Gingival index (GI) were evaluated at baseline, 6 months, and 9 months after the surgery. Radiographic analysis was conducted on images of dental X-ray and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) at baseline and 9 months post-surgery. Results The postoperative healing in all cases was uneventful, with no abnormal bleeding, pain, or swelling. The mean PPD reduction and CAL gain were 5.0 ± 1.0 mm, 4.5 ± 0.7 mm, 1.5 ± 0.7 mm, and 4.7 ± 1.2 mm, 4.5 ± 0.7 mm, 0.0 mm for intrabony defect, Class II and Class III FI, respectively. According to radiographic analysis, linear bone height in intrabony defects and vertical subclassification of FI in Class II FI were improved. Conclusions The clinical application of CO3Ap for the treatment of intrabony defects and Class II FI could be effective for periodontal regeneration, although its efficacy in treating Class III FI might be limited. Despite the limitations of this study, the findings in this study suggested that CO3Ap has the potential to be a promising bone graft substitute for periodontal regeneration.

Assessment of bone defect morphology for the adjunctive use of bone grafting combined with enamel matrix derivative: A 3-year cohort study. J Periodontol 2023.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There have been limited studies with statistically sufficient sample sizes for assessment of suitable bone defect morphology for combination therapy with enamel matrix derivative (EMD) and bone grafting. The aim of this study was to investigate the appropriate feature of intrabony defects, such as bone defect angle (DA) and the containment by bony wall, for yielding the additional benefit of bone grafting in combination with periodontal regenerative therapy using EMD. METHODS Following periodontal regenerative therapy using EMD with or without autologous bone grafting, 282 intrabony defects of 177 participants were maintained for 3 years. Multilevel linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate the radiographic bony defect depth (RBD) reduction after adjusting for confounders. RESULTS The baseline parameters, except for the proportion of contained bony defects and tooth mobility, did not differ significantly between the groups with and without bone grafts. There was no significant difference in the improvement of clinical parameters between the groups. The 1- and 3-year reduction of RBD showed significant inverse correlations with preoperative DA only in the group without bone graft. Furthermore, multivariate analysis showed a significant interaction between DA at baseline ≥40° and adjunctive bone grafting in the reduction of RBD, regardless of the number of bony walls. CONCLUSION Adjunctive autologous bone grafting with enamel matrix derivative might be significantly beneficial for defect depth improvement in the case of DA at baseline ≥40°.

Abstract
The Scientific Investigation Committee of the American Academy of Restorative Dentistry offers this review of the 2022 dental literature to briefly touch on several topics of interest to modern restorative dentistry. Each committee member brings discipline-specific expertise in their subject areas that include (in order of the appearance in this report): prosthodontics; periodontics, alveolar bone, and peri-implant tissues; dental materials and therapeutics; occlusion and temporomandibular disorders; sleep-related breathing disorders; oral medicine and oral and maxillofacial surgery; and dental caries and cariology. The authors focused their efforts on reporting information likely to influence the daily dental treatment decisions of the reader with an emphasis on innovations, new materials and processes, and future trends in dentistry. With the tremendous volume of literature published daily in dentistry and related disciplines, this review cannot be comprehensive. Instead, its purpose is to update interested readers and provide valuable resource material for those willing to subsequently pursue greater detail on their own. Our intent remains to assist colleagues in navigating the tremendous volume of newly minted information produced annually. Finally, we hope that readers find this work helpful in managing patients.

Influence of Reactive Oxygen Species on Wound Healing and Tissue Regeneration in Periodontal and Peri-Implant Tissues in Diabetic Patients. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:1787. [PMID: 37760090 PMCID: PMC10525304 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12091787] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2023] [Revised: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with periodontal disease. Clinically, periodontal treatment is less effective for patients with DM. Oxidative stress is one of the mechanisms that link DM to periodontitis. The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is increased in the periodontal tissues of patients with DM and is involved in the development of insulin resistance in periodontal tissues. Insulin resistance decreases Akt activation and inhibits cell proliferation and angiogenesis. This results in the deterioration of wound healing and tissue repair in periodontal tissues. Antioxidants and insulin resistance ameliorants may inhibit ROS production and improve wound healing, which is worsened by DM. This manuscript provides a comprehensive review of the most recent basic and clinical evidence regarding the generation of ROS in periodontal tissues resulting from microbial challenge and DM. This study also delves into the impact of oxidative stress on wound healing in the context of periodontal and dental implant therapies. Furthermore, it discusses the potential benefits of administering antioxidants and anti-insulin resistance medications, which have been shown to counteract ROS production and inflammation. This approach may potentially enhance wound healing, especially in cases exacerbated by hyperglycemic conditions.

Abstract
Introduction Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) has been reported to promote periodontal tissue regeneration. However, no study has investigated the long-term prognosis of periodontal regenerative therapy using FGF-2 to date. The aim of this study was to observe the long-term outcomes as well as to investigate the factors affecting the prognosis of periodontal regenerative therapy using FGF-2. Methods Sixty intrabony defects were prospectively investigated for three years after periodontal regenerative therapy with recombinant human FGF-2 (rhFGF-2) by evaluating probing pocket depth (PPD) and radiographic bone defect depth (RBD). The factors influencing RBD were assessed by conducting a multivariate linear regression analysis after adjusting for confounders. Results The mean age of the participants was 62.4 ± 13.4 years, and baseline PPD and RBD were 6.1 ± 1.9 mm and 4.5 ± 1.8 mm, respectively. At six months, one year, and three years after surgery, PPD and RBD had significantly improved to 4.2 ± 1.7, 3.7 ± 1.4, 4.0 ± 1.9 mm and to 3.08 ± 2.05, 2.73 ± 1.90, 2.51 ± 2.15 mm, respectively. At the three-year examination, a significant positive association was deteced between RBD reduction and RBD at baseline, while the association was not significant between RBD reduction and the radiographic bony angle, number of bony walls of the defect, or the furcation involvement at baseline. Conclusions rhFGF-2 was effective for alveolar bone regeneration in patients with periodontitis and maintained the improved parameters over the three-year observation period. The radiographic bone defect depth at baseline was found to be the factor affecting the periodontal regenerative therapy using rhFGF-2 in the intrabony defects. Trial registration number UMIN000027979. Mid-term observation following periodontal regenerative therapy using rhFGF-2. Reductions in PPD and radiographic defect depth were maintained for 3 years. Evaluation of prognostic factors of rhFGF-2 application in intrabony defects. Preoperative radiographic defect depth predicts postoperative bone fill.
