Modern Dental Treatments
1. Periodontitis and Regeneration
Peng S, et al. (2024). A new direction in periodontitis treatment: biomaterial‑based modulation of macrophages. PMC. This review explores how advanced biomaterials can influence immune cells, particularly macrophages, to promote tissue regeneration in periodontitis. The study highlights how controlling inflammation biologically leads to more stable healing and long-term periodontal health.
2. Dental Implants and Autogenous Growth Factors
Joda, T., Ferrari, M., Gallucci, G.O., Wittneben, J.G., & Brägger, U. (2024). Digital technology in fixed implant prosthodontics. Periodontology 2000, 73(1), 178–192. This article demonstrates how digital workflows, CAD/CAM, and computer-guided implant placement improve precision, reduce treatment time, and support better integration with autologous growth factor techniques like PRF and PRP for enhanced healing.
3. Clear Aligners
Olteanu ND, et al. (2025). The Effectiveness of Clear Aligners in Anterior Open‑Bite Correction in Adults: A Scoping Review. PMC. This study evaluates how clear aligner systems, including the use of attachments and auxiliary devices, can correct complex malocclusions such as anterior open bites. It confirms aligners as a precise, aesthetic, and patient-friendly alternative to fixed braces.
4. Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs)
Marinelli G, Inchingolo AM, Inchingolo AD, et al. (2025). Temporary Anchorage Devices in Clear Aligner Therapy: A Systematic Review. Bioengineering (Basel), 12(5):531. This systematic review analyses the use of mini‑screws and temporary anchorage devices (TADs) with aligners. It shows how combining TADs with digital aligner systems provides improved tooth movement control in challenging orthodontic cases.
5. Periodontal Healing and Systemic Health
López‑Valverde N, et al. (2024). Effect of Periodontal Treatment in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review. PMC. This review confirms the mutual benefits of periodontal therapy for both oral and systemic health in diabetic patients. It highlights how controlling gum disease may contribute to better glycaemic control and overall health outcomes.
6. Cosmetic and Facial Surgery
Shridharani SM, et al. (2025). Optimizing Aesthetic Facial Surgery Outcomes Following Minimally Invasive Treatments: Guidelines for Perioperative Planning and Management. PMC.
This article presents guidelines for combining minimally invasive facial procedures—such as injectables, laser, and thread lifts—with surgical treatments. It emphasises safe timing, coordination, and patient planning to achieve superior, natural-looking aesthetic outcomes.
