Introduction: For many years, experts believed that periodontal disease and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) were unrelated—one seen as a local infection of the gums, the other as a loss of kidney function to below 10% of normal levels. However, .

The problem with Removable Partial Dentures (RPD) Regular denture hygiene education and practice for RPD wearers is crucial for overall oral health—helping prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and denture stomatitis. Poor denture care can shorten the life of a .

A recent scientific breakthrough has demonstrated that dental floss could serve as an effective, needle-free vaccine delivery tool. In a study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, researchers used flat tape dental floss to deliver vaccines through the gingival sulcus—the .

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major global health issue, affecting over 460 million adults worldwide, with projections of continued growth. Beyond its impact on blood sugar, diabetes is closely linked to oral health problems, particularly periodontal (gum) and peri-implant .

Dental implants have revolutionized modern dentistry, offering predictable outcomes for tooth replacement. However, long-term success is closely tied to the prevention and management of peri-implant infections. Among various preventive strategies, the use of chlorhexidine (CHX) gel has emerged as .

The first 24 hours after implant placement may decide its long-term health. Looks like we are getting closer to the answers now. A. We are trying our best to understand peri-implant disease better – how to manage/prevent peri-implantitis. New .

A recent review published in JAMA (March 2024) by Stoopler et al. offers an evidence-based synthesis of three of the most prevalent oral conditions:1. Xerostomia (dry mouth)2. Oral candidiasis3. Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS).These conditions are frequently encountered in dental .
