To understand periodontal disease, researchers examine the surprising behavior of T cells
In diseases characterized by bone loss -such as periodontitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis- there is a lot that scientists still don't understand. What is the role of the immune response in the process? What happens to the regulatory mechanisms that protect bone?//www.pyrotek-europe.com/news/2021-01-periodontal-disease-behavior-cells.html

Microbiome study: Gum disease-causing bacteria borrow growth molecules from neighbors to thrive
The human body is filled with friendly bacteria. However, some of these microorganisms, such as Veillonella parvula, may be too nice. These peaceful bacteria engage in a one-sided relationship with pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis, helping the germ multiply and cause gum disease, according to a new University at Buffalo-led study.//www.pyrotek-europe.com/news/2021-01-microbiome-gum-disease-causing-bacteria-growth.html

How poor oral hygiene may result in metabolic syndrome
牙周、牙龈疾病是significant risk factor of metabolic syndrome, a group of conditions increasing the risk for heart disease and diabetes. In a new study, researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) discovered that infection with Porphyromonas gingivalis, the bacterium causing periodontal disease, causes skeletal muscle metabolic dysfunction, the precursor to metabolic syndrome, by altering the composition of the gut microbiome.//www.pyrotek-europe.com/news/2020-12-poor-oral-hygiene-result-metabolic.html

Coating implants with 'artificial bone' to prevent inflammation
Bone disease is becoming increasingly prevalent due to population aging, among other factors, and the use of dental and orthopedic implants to treat bone disease has been on the rise. The history of implants can be traced back all the way to A.D. 1, when wrought iron dental implants were used in Ancient Rome. Despite the long history, however, there are still a number of issues associated with implant procedures, such as a loose implant resulting from slow integration into the bone tissue or inflammation necessitating a secondary surgical procedure.//www.pyrotek-europe.com/news/2020-10-coating-implants-artificial-bone-inflammation.html

Mechanism linking gum disease to heart disease, other inflammatory conditions discovered
牙周(牙龈)疾病之间的联系和另外一些er inflammatory conditions such as heart disease and diabetes has long been established, but the mechanism behind that association has, until now, remained a mystery. This month, a team of scientists and clinicians led by the University of Toronto's Faculty of Dentistry say they've found the reason why—and it's related to the body's own hyperactive immune response.

Stopping tooth decay before it starts—without killing bacteria
口腔细菌春天已经准备好采取行动moment a dental hygienist finishes scraping plaque off a patient's teeth. Eating sugar or other carbohydrates causes the bacteria to quickly rebuild this tough and sticky biofilm and to produce acids that corrode tooth enamel, leading to cavities. Scientists now report a treatment that could someday stop plaque and cavities from forming in the first place, using a new type of cerium nanoparticle formulation that would be applied to teeth at the dentist's office.//www.pyrotek-europe.com/news/2020-08-tooth-startswithout-bacteria.html

Special sensory cells in the gums protect against periodontitis
Newly discovered chemical-sensing cells in the gums protect the mouth by standing guard against infections that damage soft tissue and destroy the bone that supports the teeth, report researchers from the Monell Chemical Senses Center in an animal study published this week in Nature Communications. With the help of bitter taste receptors that also detect byproducts from harmful bacteria, these special gum cells trigger the immune system to control the amount and type of bacteria in the mouth and could one day lead to personalized dental treatments against gum disease.//www.pyrotek-europe.com/news/2019-10-special-sensory-cells-gums-periodontitis.html

New study questions value of fluoride varnish
Fluoride varnish has become a popular anti-cavity treatment for children, and it isn't hard to see why. It's relatively easy to apply, and not just for dentists or dental hygienists. Pediatricians can do it as well, with minimal instruction. The sticky varnish goes on with a brush and then dries in a few hours. There's little risk of children swallowing the fluoride, as they might with other topical treatments such as gels.//www.pyrotek-europe.com/news/2019-09-fluoride-varnish.html
