The 60 patients included in the study were randomly divided into two groups according to the intracanal dressing. After removing gutta-percha from the root canals, RANKL, OPG, TNF-α, PGE-2, and TGF-β samples were obtained from the apical tissues using three paper cones and the selected dressing material was placed into the canals. In the second appointment, the dressing was removed, and the second samples were taken using the same method. Pre-treatment and post-treatment RANKL, OPG, TNF-α, PGE-2, and TGF-β levels were determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test. Data were analysed using t-test, the Mann-Whitney U test, the Wilcoxon test, The Fisher-Freeman-Halton test, and Path analysis. No significant difference was found between the groups in terms of demographic variables (age, gender, tooth region, and smoking) (p > 0.05). There was a statistically significant decrease in RANKL/OPG, TNF-α, PGE-2, and TGF-β levels before and after treatment in both groups (p < 0.05). A significant difference was observed in the percentage change of RANKL/OPG, TNF-α, and TGF-β ratios between the groups (p < 0.05). A statistically higher decrease in RANKL/OPG, TNF-α, and TGF-β levels was observed in the calcium hydroxide-based intracanal dressing group (p < 0.05).

This systematic review examined how alcohol consumption affects the severity of experimental apical periodontitis in animal models. Following PRISMA guidelines, studies were sourced from three databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) up to January 26, 2025. The included studies analyzed inflammation and/or bone resorption in animals with induced apical periodontitis, comparing alcohol-exposed groups to well-defined controls. Study quality was evaluated using the Animal Research: Reporting of In Vivo Experiments (ARRIVE) guidelines and the risk of bias was analyzed using the Systematic Review Centre for Laboratory Animal Experimentation (SYRCLE) tool. Of 135 screened records, 7 studies met the inclusion criteria. These studies were of moderate quality with a moderate risk of bias. Findings revealed that chronic alcohol consumption exacerbates inflammation and bone resorption in rats with experimental apical periodontitis, with effects increasing in a dose-dependent manner. The evidence suggests that chronic alcohol consumption amplifies the periapical inflammatory response in animal models, potentially accelerating apical periodontitis progression.

The virulence of Streptococcus mutans, a key caries pathogen, is partly explained by its rhamnose-glucose polysaccharide (RGP) and its sucrose-dependent and -independent adhesion mechanisms. Given their role in comorbidities, this study investigates the diversity of S. mutans through analysis of RGP and sucrose-independent adhesion proteins (SpaP, WapA, Cnm, Cbm) in Parkinson's disease patients. In the PARKIDENT clinical trial, strains were isolated from saliva samples of Parkinson's patients at baseline and during a follow-up visit. Strains were preanalyzed by multiplex PCR for serotype and collagen-binding proteins, followed by high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics analysis using RAST® and BLAST®. Phylogenetic analyses and protein modeling were also conducted. Of 40 patients in the Parkident clinical trial, only 24 had Streptococcus mutans strains isolable from salivary swabs. Serotyping revealed that over 80% of the 44 strains isolated were serotype c, in line with prevalence data in the literature. Furthermore, only SpaP types A and B were identified in the strains. The low variability observed for the WapA protein underlines its functional importance. Finally, the cbm gene was not found in any strain, and only 5 strains possessed the cnm gene, all of them serotype c. The study of these 44 Streptococcus mutans strains showed characteristics similar to other populations. Serotype c predominates, with minimal peptide sequence variability in adhesion proteins (SpaP, WapA). Collagen-binding proteins Cnm and Cbm are rare or absent. Further research is essential to better characterize strain distribution in the Parkinson's-affected population due to S. mutans' growing role in extra-oral pathologies.
