“…Predisposing factors such as a history of TB, chronic bronchitis, neoplasms, diabetes, HIV, alcoholism, and drug addiction are equally important to consider in patients suspected of suffering from TB 16 . Numerous research has attempted to link periodontal disease to tuberculosis, but the findings have been contradictory 1,[3][4][5]7,14 . Studies have previously been proposed that link periodontal disease to a range of systemic ailments, including diabetes mellitus 17 , coronary artery disease 18 , stroke, and respiratory illnesses 19 .…”

Background: Evidence suggests periodontitis may contribute to the development and progression of respiratory illnesses. However, few studies currently look at the coexistence of periodontitis and tuberculosis. The current study investigates the relationship between periodontal health and tuberculosis. Aim: To assess various clinical dental parameters of periodontal health among patients with and without TB. Methods: The participants in the present case-control study were individuals who obtained informed permission forms to participate when they were patients in the outpatient dentistry department. The current study included 585 patients in total. Three hundred-one individuals with normal pulmonary function were added to the control group, whereas 284 patients with tuberculosis were added to the cases group. The diagnosis of the pulmonary conditions was confirmed using spirometry. Using SPSS software 21, we evaluated the demographics & clinical indicators such as plaque, different gingival parameters of periodontitis, Gingival bleeding, and gingival index (GI), and compared cases and controls. Results: The population comprised two hundred eighty-seven women (49.1%) and 298 men (50.9%). There was a significant association between tuberculosis and periodontitis, and it has been observed that 159 (56%) tuberculosis patients had 6.23 (4.2 – 9.1) times higher effects on oral periodontitis issues (P<0.001*). Patients with gingivitis had a significantly higher number of bleeding, accounting for 241 (72.8), p<0.001. Practical implication: The study suggests that healthcare providers, particularly those involved in the treatment of TB, should consider incorporating oral health screening and assessment as part of the overall care for TB patients. This could help identify and address periodontal issues that may exist, hence dental professionals can play a role in the early detections of TB Conclusion: This study suggest that important relationship between TB and periodontitis. TB patients should be educated about the potential impact of their disease on periodontal health and encouraged to maintain regular dental visit and oral hygiene. Keywords: Tuberculosis (TB), Periodontitis (PD), Gingival bleeding, and gingival index (GI)

“…In 2022, a study by Mohd Said from Malaysia recommended the use of validated simplified digital periodontal health screening software for identification of PD at early stage in dental practice. 30 This identification tool appeared simple and appropriate to be used for screening of PDs. This showed an effort have been made to initiate the link from the general dental practice to specialist care.…”

Objectives The study aimed to evaluate type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients' self-perceived periodontal health status and to identify the association between periodontal disease (PD) and DM. Materials and Methods This cross-sectional study included 113 T1DM children between 3 and 18 years old from the Universiti Teknologi MARA and the University of Malaya. Periodontal health parameters, including plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth, simplified basic periodontal examination, and clinical attachment loss, were recorded. Self-perceived periodontal health status was assessed with questionnaires. Statistical Analysis Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the sensitivity of the questionnaire and the relationship between T1DM and periodontal parameters. Results The median age was 11.4 years. Half of them (50.4%) were females. A total of 83.5% rated their oral condition as good, whereas 27.5% reported a history of gingival bleeding. Clinical examination revealed that 48.7% had healthy gingiva, whereas 47.8% had gingivitis. The question “Do you have bleeding when brushing, flossing, or eating food?” showed good accuracy in the evaluation of PD (p < 0.001). Conclusion The questionnaire has a high potential to be used by medical professionals in identifying T1DM patients at risk of PD to guide nondental health care providers in making appropriate referrals to dental services.

Albumin nanoparticles are a promising drug delivery system in dentistry

Periodontal infection is a long-lasting inflammatory condition caused by the growth and development of an abnormal and harmful community of microorganisms. This destructive illness leads to the loss of the tissues that support the teeth, degradation of the bone surrounding the teeth, and eventually tooth loss. To treat oral infections, it is necessary to use nonsurgical methods such as antibiotics. However, the indiscriminate and incorrect use of antibiotics results in drug resistance. Among these alternate therapeutic options, using nanoparticles to treat infectious dental disease was particularly significant. Consequently, researchers have worked to develop an effective and satisfactory drug delivery method for treating periodontal and dental illnesses. Albumin nanoparticles serve a considerable function as carriers in the drug delivery of chemical and biomolecular medications, such as anticancer treatments; they have several advantages, including biocompatibility and biodegradability, and they are well-tolerated with no adverse effects. Albumin nanoparticles have several benefits over other nanomaterials. Protein nanocarriers provide advantages such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, reduced immunogenicity, and lower cytotoxicity. Furthermore, this nanoparticle demonstrated significant intrinsic antibacterial properties without being loaded with antibiotic medicines. As a medication and antibacterial nanoparticle delivery method, albumin nanoparticles have substantial applications in periodontal and dental infectious disorders such as periodontal infection, apical periodontitis, and peri-implantitis. As a result, in this article, we studied the usage of albumin nanoparticles in dental disorders. Graphical Abstract
