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.

Abstract

Dental biofilm is a structured microbial community that adheres to the tooth surface and becomes embedded within a self-produced extracellular matrix. This matrix, rich in polysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids, enables microorganisms to survive environmental stresses and contributes to the onset of oral diseases such as caries and periodontitis. The purpose of this scoping review is to determine current knowledge the dental biofilm formation. The articles published from 2020 until 2025 were searched for using the keywords: "dental and biofilm and formation" in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google scholar databases. Using PRISMA-Scr, existing articles were chosen based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. There were five articles found that were suitable for review. The data presented in the article vary according to the study's location, purpose, method, and samples. The major classes of extracellular polymeric substances that form the matrix are common to most biofilms and comprise carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, and cell wall polymers, such as peptidoglycans and lipids. Several unique resistance mechanisms make biofilms particularly tough to manage. Biofilm bacteria employ multiple defense mechanisms, such as capsule protection, efflux pumps, membrane modifications, genetic adaptations, quorum sensing, metabolic dormancy, and stress responses, making them highly resistant to treatment and contributing to persistent infections.

Abstract

Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition initiated by microbial dysbiosis and driven by host immune responses, notably the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which contribute to tissue damage. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), a potent antioxidant, plays a role in collagen synthesis and immune regulation. Several studies have proposed vitamin C as an adjunct in periodontal therapy, yet its effectiveness remains unclear. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effect of vitamin C supplementation on clinical periodontal parameters in patients with periodontal disease. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed and Scopus for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between January 2015 and June 2025. Included studies investigated vitamin C supplementation in patients with periodontal disease without systemic conditions, pregnancy, lactation, or medication use. Studies involving vitamin C in combination with other nutrients without a separate vitamin C-only group were excluded. Data extraction and analysis followed the PRISMA guidelines. Four RCTs met the inclusion criteria. Significant clinical improvements were observed in periodontal parameters following non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT). However, the addition of vitamin C supplementation alone did not consistently provide significant improvements beyond NSPT alone. One study showed greater improvements when vitamin C was combined with melatonin, and another suggested potential benefits from guava—a natural source of vitamin C and polyphenols—over synthetic vitamin C. Current evidence suggests that while vitamin C supplementation may offer modest anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, it does not consistently enhance clinical outcomes in periodontal therapy when used alone.
