This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated 16 randomized clinical trials comparing subgingival irrigation with chemical agents versu…
If you have gum disease and your dentist suggests a special rinse during a deep cleaning, new research says it probably won't make a differe…
Narrative review of oxidative stress and antioxidant defense in periodontitis and peri-implantitis
Oxidative stress may drive gum disease and bone loss
This narrative review examines the role of oxidative stress and antioxidant defense systems in periodontitis and peri-implantitis.
New evidence suggests that an imbalance in your body's antioxidant defenses could play a major role in how gum disease progresses.

Oral microbiome profiles differ by periodontitis stage in Korean adults
Gum disease severity linked to specific oral bacteria in Korean adults
This pilot prospective cross-sectional study of 74 Korean adults assessed oral microbiome profiles by periodontitis stage.
Severe gum disease in Korean adults shows a unique bacterial pattern, pointing to future microbiome-based diagnostic tools.
Questions about Periodontal Disease
What is the link between Periodontal Disease and Alzheimer's disease risk?
Periodontal disease is linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease, likely through inflammation and oral bacteria reaching the brain, but a direct cause is not proven.
Full answer →Is there a link between Periodontal Disease and pancreatic cancer in older adults?
Yes, research suggests periodontal disease is linked to a higher risk of pancreatic cancer in older adults, possibly due to chronic inflammation and oral bacteria.
