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

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

Saliva plays vital roles in oral and systemic health and is emerging as a valuable tool in biomedical research. It contains bioactive components such as cytokines, enzymes, and immunoglobulins that reflect immune status, making it a promising non-invasive diagnostic fluid. A literature review was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar Science Direct (2015–2025) with keywords related to saliva, immunological markers, and oral health. Studies included were original research on human subjects. Articles were screened following PRISMA guidelines. Salivary biomarkers such as IL-6, TNF-α, IL-17A/F, IFN-γ, CRP, calprotectin, IP-10, MCP-1, NT-proBNP, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-8, and sTNFRII have been linked to oral cancer, periodontitis, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular disease, and viral infections. Studies showed that these markers reflect both local inflammation and systemic immune responses. Saliva captures immune activity through pathways like Th17, TNF, and JAK/STAT signaling. Its non-invasive nature, molecular stability, and compatibility with modern analysis techniques (e.g., transcriptomics and proteomics) make it ideal for monitoring disease progression and immune function. The presence of stable biomarkers like cytokines, acute-phase proteins, and cardiovascular indicators in saliva supports its diagnostic relevance.Saliva offers a practical, non-invasive approach to immunological monitoring. With proven biomarkers for various diseases, it holds strong potential for future diagnostic and research applications.

Abstract

Diabetes melitus gestasional (DMG) merupakan kondisi hiperglikemia spontan selama kehamilan, didiagnosis pada trimester kedua atau ketiga pada individu yang tidak menunjukkan tanda-tanda diabetes sebelum kehamilan. Sejumlah penelitian telah menemukan implikasi DMG terhadap kesehatan ibu dan anak, termasuk terhadap kesehatan rongga mulut. Tinjauan ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji secara komprehensif literatur-literatur yang mengevaluasi mengenai hubungan antara diabetes gestasional dan kesehatan rongga mulut ibu-anak, menyoroti aspek penting dari perawatan prenatal dan potensi dampak jangka panjang terhadap kesehatan rongga mulut. Kondisi hiperglikemia pada penderita DMG berkontribusi terhadap berbagai perubahan pada rongga mulut, seperti perubahan mikrobiota dan peningkatan risiko penyakit periodontal pada ibu maupun anak. Periodontitis juga dapat berkontribusi terhadap kondisi DMG, dimana translokasi bakteri periodontitis maupun faktor virulensinya ke sirkulasi sistemik dapat membebani kinerja sel imun inflamasi secara terus menerus sehingga meningkatkan pelepasan mediator proinflamasi dan vesikel ekstraseluler. Tinjauan ini menggaris bawahi perlunya penelitian lebih lanjut untuk mengeksplorasi strategi pencegahan dan intervensi yang dapat diterapkan untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan ibu dan anak.
