Abstract

The immune system reaction against infections and other foreign substances is known as the immune response. Nutrition is a critical component in the modulation of the immune system, hence the importance of a balanced diet. Better nutrition improves health, reinforces the immune system, contributes to longevity, and decreases the chance of non-communicable diseases. Thus, nutrition, health, and immune system are strongly connected. The aim of the present study is to evaluate current knowledge on the role of nutrition on the immune response. The article was conducted of two databases and were limited to the period from January 2018 to April 2023 with a combination of the following keywords: “role" and "nutrition" and "immune response. The results obtained were 17 articles found at the beginning of the search in both databases, and the 10 full text articles were selected for further review and discussion. The results of this study shows that immunonutrition plays a role in immune function. Nutrition such as vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E, and folate; and trace elements (zinc, iron, selenium, magnesium, and copper) play important and complementary roles in supporting both the innate and adaptive immune systems. The development and maintenance of our immune system are very intricately tied to our dietary pattern. Therefore, working on our food habits and improving our nutrition seem to be a pragmatic approach to strengthen our immune response. Multiple micronutrients play vital roles in supporting the immune response.

Abstract

Dental caries and obesity are both global public health issues that can have an impact on overall systemic health. Despite numerous studies investigating the link between dental caries and obesity, the findings remain inconclusive. This review aimed to determine the relationship between overweight, obese and ECC, as well as the impact of other potential risk factors. Research articles were searched using electronic databases such as Pubmed and Scopus. The selection of studies was following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) protocols. The initial phase of searching for articles in databases yielded 1176 results. There were twenty-three articles that received full-text appraisals, and fourteen studies were eliminated for not meeting the eligibility criteria. Finally, the study included nine articles. Only one of the nine articles considered in this review was a cohort study. The years of publishing range from 2019 to 2023. The majority of the study settings (n=5) were in high-income countries. Five of the studies reviewed found no association between overweight or obesity and ECC, whereas four identified a significant association. Based on the findings of this review, the association between overweight, obesity, and ECC appears undetermined. The differences in the findings of the studies included in this review could be attributed to the various BMI indicators employed to define the nutritional status of children. Other risk factors such as family socioeconomic status, parental educational level, and parental awareness of oral hygiene and dental visits may influence the association between overweight, obesity, and ECC.

Abstract

Denture stomatitis is the most prevalent multifactorial, chronic inflammatory oral condition amongs denture wearers. One of the primary roles of dentures in denture stomatitis is their potential to cause irritation and inflammation of the oral tissues. This continuous irritation creates an environment where fungal infections, notably C. albicans. The traumatic factors such as mechanical trauma caused by loose prosthesis can increase the risk of tissue penetration and colonization of Candida species. This literature review aimed to explore the colonization of C. albicans in the denture wearer. The article was conducted of two databases and were limited to the period from 2019 to 2024 with a combination of the following keywords: “oral Candida albicans” "colonization" "denture wearer". The results obtained A total of 243 articles were initially identified through the designated keywords in PubMed and Google scholar. After meticulous removal of duplicate articles and application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 7 articles met the study’s eligibility criteria. C. albicans was the predominant species recovered from oral caviproty of both denture wearers and non-denture wearers. C. albicans can not only adhere to the oral mucosa but also can colonize the surface of the acrylic denture when it is poorly maintained. The presence of prosthetic appliances changes the microenvironment of the oral cavity through the facilitation of Candida colonization and proliferation. The biofilm on the denture can enhance its adhesion adding to its virulence. Wearing of a denture has been found to enhance adhesion of C. albicans.

Abstract

The bidirectional relationship between periodontal disease and metabolic disorders is of particular concern, as these conditions may exacerbate each other through shared inflammatory pathways and metabolic disturbances. This scoping review aims to comprehensively explore the current body of literature on the interconnection between metabolic disorders and periodontal disease. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across databases, such as PubMed and Scopus. This review included studies that focusing on the relationship between metabolic disorders and periodontal disease, as well as articles written in English and published between 2019 and 2024. Non-peer-reviewed articles, articles that were not available in full text, and animal studies were excluded. A total 186 studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were included in the review. Only 2.2% of the studies employed an experimental design, while a substantial majority (77.4%) utilized observational methodologies The majority of the research (72.0%) focused on adults, with a relatively small proportion (16.1%) dedicated to children and adolescents. Research focusing on specific populations, such as women with obesity or gestational diabetes, was limited (7.5%). This review identified a significant gap in intervention studies specifically targeting metabolic disorders to improve periodontal outcomes. Furthermore, it underscores the need for more focused research on vulnerable populations such as children, adolescents, and pregnant women.

Abstract

The relationship between IL-17 and the microbiome remains an area requiring extensive research. IL-17, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, plays a crucial role in immune function, particularly in its interactions with the microbiome, especially within the intestinal digestive system. In metabolic diseases linked to inflammation, this connection underscores the importance of understanding cytokine activity and the microbiome's response within the body. In this literature review, three articles were retrieved from a single database, exploring the relationship between IL-17, metabolic diseases, and the microbiome.

Abstract

Vitamin D has gained significant attention for its potential role in periodontal health. This scoping review investigates the evidence on dietary vitamin D interventions and assessments in periodontal diseases, examining their impact on periodontal outcomes and identifying research gaps. Using the PRISMA for Scoping Reviews protocols, data were sourced from PubMed and Scopus, including studies focused on dietary vitamin D interventions in periodontal diseases. Exclusions were non-peer-reviewed articles, reviews, animal studies, and inaccessible full-text articles. A total of 22 studies were included: 11 experimental and 11 observational. Among experimental studies, vitamin D supplementation (n=7) was the most common intervention. Observational studies employed various dietary assessment methods, including 24-hour dietary recall (n=2), food frequency questionnaires (FFQ) (n=3), dietary supplement intake (n=3), and combined methods (n=3). Experimental findings suggest that vitamin D supplementation may enhance periodontal health, particularly when paired with non-surgical treatments. Mixed findings from observational studies and limited research on surgical contexts underscore the complexity of establishing definitive conclusions. These findings emphasize the need for standardized methodologies and further investigation to better understand the role of vitamin D in periodontal health.
