Objective: One of the treatment goals in type 1 diabetes and periodontitis is to address chronic inflammation to prevent the development of neurovascular complications. The aim of this study was to assess the local anti-inflammatory effects of chlorhexidine digluconate and cetylpyridine chloride on periodontal status and indicators of oxidative stress in saliva in patients with type 1 diabetes.
Materials And Methods: A total of 42 subjects aged 27 (interquartile range, IQR 22-35) years, with type 1 diabetes for a duration of 12 (IQR 9-18) years, and glycated hemoglobin 8.05 (IQR 7.1-9.4)% were included. Patients were examined twice-initially, and after 14 days of using toothpaste with chlorhexidine and cetylpyridine. Clinical examination of gingival tissues was performed. Certain oxidative stress markers (TP, TEAC, TBARS, AOPP) were measured in the saliva samples.
Results: There were significant changes in clinical indicators of periodontal status before and after the application of the toothpaste (API before 0.35 (0.24-0.65) vs. API after 0.265 (0.18-0.39), = 0.03; SBI before 0.07 (0.04-0.15) vs. SBI after 0.035 (0-0.06), = 0.002; GI before 0.88 (0.46-1) vs. GI after 0.67 (0.25-1), = 0.0008). The concentration of saliva TBARS decreased ( = 0.00005) and TEAC increased ( = 0.09).
Conclusion: Proper oral hygiene supported by antibacterial chemicals may improve the periodontal status and reduce inflammation.

This study aimed to evaluate the longitudinal effect of dentition status on the perceived mobility limitation of community-dwelling Brazilian older adults. This cohort study used data from individuals who participated in the second (2006), third (2010), and fourth (2015) waves of the Health Well-being and Aging Study, conducted in the urban region of the city of São Paulo, Brazil, with adults aged 60 years and older. Mobility limitation was assessed in all waves according to reports of difficulty in performing seven activities, with higher scores representing a higher number of limitations.

Background: Although oral diseases and frailty can be met earlier in life, there is limited information on their association across the lifespan.
Objectives: To scope for the association of oral factors with physical frailty in Greek community-dwelling adults.
Methods: Participants were over 18 years of age with ≥ 20 natural teeth, ≥ 10 occlusal contacts, and no removable dentures.

Background: The presence of the apolipoprotein E4 () allele and periodontal disease are independently correlated with higher levels of amyloid-β and inflammation in the brain, worse cognition, and Alzheimer's disease.
Objective: To assess whether the presence of the allele modifies the relationship between IgG antibodies against periodontal microorganisms and cognitive function in older adults participating in the NHANES III study.
Methods: This cross-sectional analysis was conducted among participants of the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) (1988 to 1994), aged 60 years and older, with measurements of IgG antibodies against 19 periodontal microorganisms and alleles (N = 1644).

Background Plaque accumulation can lead to dental caries and periodontal disease and may reflect overall oral health status. As mothers are often the primary caregivers for children's oral hygiene, plaque in children may also serve as a proxy for caregiving quality. This study examined whether maternal emotional states are associated with the quality of caregiving, using children's plaque accumulation as a proxy indicator.
