Periodontitis destroys the tooth-supporting apparatus through dysregulated interactions among a pathogenic biofilm, host immunity and resident reparative cells. Conventional periodontal therapy can control infection and inflammation, while established regenerative procedures impr...

Periodontitis remains one of the most prevalent chronic inflammatory conditions affecting the tooth-supporting apparatus, and conventional mechansical and pharmacological therapies frequently fail to achieve predictable regeneration of the periodontal ligament, cementum, and alve...

Gingival recession is a mucogingival deformity characterised by apical migration of the gingival margin, which may result in root exposure, dentinal hypersensitivity and aesthetic concern. Minimally invasive periodontal plastic surgical approaches aim to obtain root coverage whil...

Background: Laser therapy has gained increasing attention in recent years as a treatment modality for dentinal hypersensitivity due to its ability to induce morphological alterations in dentin without the need for restorative intervention. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is a...

Periodontitis is a dysbiosis-driven chronic inflammatory disease affecting the tooth-supporting structures that extends its pathological influence well beyond the oral cavity. Over the past decade, the oral–gut microbial translocation axis has emerged as a biologically compelling...

Introduction: Non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) remains the cornerstone in the management of periodontitis; however, complete elimination of subgingival pathogens through mechanical debridement alone is often limited. Local drug delivery systems combined with biologically a...
