Abstract
Background/purpose Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition of the tooth-supporting structures triggered by the host's immune response towards the bacterial deposits around the teeth. It is well acknowledged that pro-inflammatory interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, MCP-1 as well as the NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, are the key modulators in the activation of this response. Erbium-doped yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Er:YAG) laser, a solid-state crystal laser have been commonly used in the treatment of periodontal diseases. However, little is understood about the molecular mechanism of the Er:YAG laser, especially in targeting the host immune response brought on by periodontal pathogens. Hence, the current study focused on the protective effects of Er:YAG laser on periodontitis in-vitro in terms of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and NLRP3 inflammasome expressions. Materials and methods Human periodontal ligament fibroblast (PDLFs) were first stimulated with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from P. gingivalis (Pg-LPS) to simulate periodontitis. Cells were then irradiated with Er:YAG laser of ascending energy densities (3.6-6.3 J/cm2), followed by cell proliferation and wound healing assay. Next, the effects of Er:YAG laser on the expressions of IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1, NLRP3, and cleaved GSDMD were examined. Results Pg-LPS was found to reduce cell's proliferation rate and wound healing ability in PDLFs and these were rescued by Er:YAG laser irradiation. In addition, LPS stimuli resulted in a marked upregulation in the secretion of IL-6, IL-8 and MCP-1 as well as the mRNA and protein expression of NLRP3 and cleaved-GSDMD protein whereas Er:YAG laser suppressed the elicited phenomena. Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the first study to look into the laser's implication on the NLRP3 inflammasome in periodontitis models. Our study reveals a crucial role of Er:YAG laser in ameliorating periodontitis in-vitro through the modulation of IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1 and the NLRP3 inflammasome and highlights that the control of the NLRP3 inflammasome may become a potential approach for periodontitis.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disorder damaging periodontal tissues, including the gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone. It arises from the complex interplay between pathogenic oral bacteria and host immune response. Contrary to the previous view of "energy factories", mitochondria have recently been recognized as semi-autonomous organelles that fine-tune cell survival, death, metabolism, and other functions. Under physiological conditions, periodontal tissue cells participate in dynamic processes, including differentiation, mineralization, and regeneration. These fundamental activities depend on properly functioning mitochondria, which play a crucial role through bioenergetics, dynamics, mitophagy, and quality control. However, during the initiation and progression of periodontitis, mitochondrial quality control is compromised due to a range of challenges, such as bacterial-host interactions, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Currently, mounting evidence suggests that mitochondria dysfunction serves as a common pathological mechanism linking periodontitis with systemic conditions like type II diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, targeting mitochondria to intervene in periodontitis and multiple associated systemic diseases holds great therapeutic potential. This review provides advanced insights into the interplay between mitochondria, periodontitis, and associated systemic diseases. Moreover, we emphasize the significance of diverse therapeutic modulators and signaling pathways that regulate mitochondrial function in periodontal and systemic cells.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is a chronic disease with a high prevalence, and in order to secure natural materials to prevent oral diseases, new materials that protect periodontal tissue from inflammation are being sought. Genes were identified using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and proteins were confirmed using Western blot. Dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCF-DA) analysis was used, and the antibacterial effects were confirmed through Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimal Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) analysis. To confirm this effect in vivo, Sprague-Dawley rats, in which periodontitis was induced using ligation or Lipopolysaccharide of Porphyromonas gingivalis (PG-LPS), were used. In vitro experiments using human periodontal ligament (HPDL) cells stimulated with PG-LPS showed that Ginsenoside Rg6 (G-Rg6) had anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, and osteoblast differentiation properties. In vivo, G-Rg6 was effective in Sprague-Dawley rats in which periodontitis was induced using ligation or PG-LPS. Therefore, Ginsenoside Rg6 shows potential effectiveness in alleviating periodontitis.

Abstract
Oral mucosal wounds exhibit an increased susceptibility to inflammation as a consequence of their direct exposure to a diverse range of microorganisms. This causes pain, slow healing, and other complications that interfere with patients' daily activities like eating and speaking. Consequently, patients experience a significant decline in their overall quality of life. Therefore, the pursuit of novel treatment approaches is of great importance. In this study, ginsenoside Rg1, a natural active substance extracted from ginseng root, was chosen as a therapeutic agent. It was encapsulated in a screened photo-crosslinked hydrogel scaffold for the treatment of mucosal defects in the rat palate. The results demonstrated that Rg1-hydrogel possessed excellent physical and chemical properties, and that oral mucosa wounds treated with Rg1-hydrogel exhibited the greatest healing performance, as evidenced by more pronounced wound re-epithelialization, increased collagen deposition, and decreased inflammatory infiltration. Subsequent investigations in molecular biology confirmed that Rg1-hydrogel stimulated the secretion of repair-related factors and inhibited the secretion of inflammatory factors. This study demonstrated that the hydrogel containing ginsenoside Rg1 significantly promotes oral mucosal tissue healing in vivo. Based on the findings, it can be inferred that the Rg1-hydrogel has promising prospects for the therapeutic management of oral mucosal wounds.

Abstract
"Medicine food homology" (MFH) is a term with a lengthy history. It refers to the fact that a lot of traditional natural products have both culinary and therapeutic benefits. The antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects of MFH plants and their secondary metabolites have been confirmed by numerous research. A bacterially generated inflammatory illness with a complicated pathophysiology, periodontitis causes the loss of the teeth's supporting tissues. Several MFH plants have recently been shown to have the ability to prevent and treat periodontitis, which is exhibited by blocking the disease's pathogens and the virulence factors that go along with them, lowering the host's inflammatory reactions and halting the loss of alveolar bone. To give a theoretical foundation for the creation of functional foods, oral care products and adjuvant therapies, this review has especially explored the potential medicinal benefit of MFH plants and their secondary metabolites in the prevention and treatment of periodontitis.
