Prevalence of Apical Periodontitis in Patients with Autoimmune Liver Diseases on Immune Suppressants and Immune Modulators: A Cross-sectional Study. J Endod 2024; 50:784-791. [PMID: 38527610 DOI: 10.1016/j.joen.2024.02.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 02/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Autoimmune liver diseases (ALDs) are chronic conditions generated by an immune-mediated autoaggressive inflammatory reaction in genetically susceptible individuals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of apical periodontitis (AP) in patients suffering from ALDs undergoing treatment with the immune suppressants glucocorticoids, azathioprine, and/or ursodeoxycholic acid. METHODS The ALD group included 46 patients (11 men and 35 women, average age = 57.9 ± 11.8 years) and 1186 teeth. The control group included 50 healthy patients not taking any medications (15 men and 35 women, average age = 58.6 ± 10.4 years) and 1251 teeth. Demographic data and medical, pharmacologic, and dental history were recorded. Dental and radiographic examinations were performed. The presence of AP; the periapical index score; decayed, missing, and filled teeth; quality of restoration, and root canal treatment were evaluated. The influence of the medications the patients were taking on the prevalence of AP was also tested. RESULTS The prevalence of AP was significantly lower in ALDs than in the control group at the patient (P = .019) and tooth level (P = .014). Smoking and age were associated with a significant increase in AP in cases and controls (P = .045 and P = .001, respectively). In both groups, endodontically treated teeth showed a higher prevalence of AP. CONCLUSIONS Considering the limitations because of the observational nature of the study, the patients affected by ALDs liver diseases and undergoing treatment with immune suppressors (often associated with immune modulators) were found to exhibit a lower prevalence of AP.

[PMID: 37805447 PMCID: PMC10560424 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-023-03472-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/09/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Statins are a category of medications widely used to reduce plasma LDL-cholesterol levels, that also possess antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory action. The aim of this systematic review was to explore the effects of systemic statins therapy on the development and treatment of apical periodontitis (AP) on humans and animals. MATERIAL AND METHODS Three electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus) and grey literature were searched from their inception until February, 20 2023 (PROSPERO CRD42021246231). For the quality assessment and risk of bias, different guidelines were used according to the typology of the studies considered (Animal Research Reporting of In Vivo Experiments, Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Form for Cohort Studies, Systematic Review Centre for Laboratory animal Experimentation Risk of Bias tool and Tool to assess risk of bias in cohort studies of CLARITY Group). RESULTS Seven hundred eleven records were screened, and six articles were included for this qualitative review. The eligible studies showed a moderate overall quality and risk of bias. Human patients in treatment with statins exhibited a higher healing rate of AP following root canal treatment. In experimental animal models, statins had a beneficial effect on the development of AP. CONCLUSIONS Despite the limited number of studies and considering that most of them are on animals, our findings suggest that systemically administered statins make a positive contribution to prevent the development and help healing of AP. CLINICAL RELEVANCE There is an increased evidence that a pharmacologic adjunct to endodontic treatment may be considered to enhance healing of AP. Among other medications, statins seem to have a positive impact on the disease.

Abstract
Apical periodontitis is an inflammatory response caused by pulp infection. It induces bone resorption in the apical and periapical regions of the tooth. The most conservative approach to treat this condition is nonsurgical endodontic treatment. However, clinical failure has been reported with this approach; thus, alternative procedures are required. This review highlights recent literature regarding advanced approaches for the treatment of apical periodontitis. Various therapies, including biological medications, antioxidants, specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators, and stem cell therapy, have been tested to increase the success rate of treatment for apical periodontitis. Some of these approaches remain in the in vivo phase of research, while others have just entered the translational research phase to validate clinical application. However, a detailed understanding of the molecular mechanisms that occur during development of the immunoinflammatory reaction in apical periodontitis remains unclear. The aim of this review was to summarize advanced approaches for the treatment of apical periodontitis. Further research can confirm the potential of these alternative nonsurgical endodontic treatment approaches.

Abstract
The ‘Focal Infection Era in Dentistry’ in the late 19th and early 20th century resulted in widespread implementation of tooth extraction and limited the progress of endodontics. The theory proposed that bacteria and toxins entrapped in dentinal tubules could disseminate systemically to remote body parts, resulting in many types of degenerative systemic diseases. This theory was eventually refuted due to anecdotal evidence. However, lately there has been increased interest in investigating whether endodontic disease could have an impact on general health. There are reviews that have previously been carried out on this subject, but as new data have emerged since then, this review aims to appraise the available literature investigating the dynamic associations between apical periodontitis, endodontic treatment, and systemic health. The available evidence regarding focal infection theory, bacteraemia and inflammatory markers was appraised. The review also collated the available research arguing the associations of apical periodontitis with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, adverse pregnancy outcome and autoimmune disorders, along with the effect of statins and immunomodulators on apical periodontitis prevalence and endodontic treatment prognosis. There is emerging evidence that bacteraemia and low-grade systemic inflammation associated with apical periodontitis may negatively impact systemic health, e.g., development of cardiovascular diseases, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and diabetic metabolic dyscontrol. However, there is limited information supporting the effect of diabetes mellitus or autoimmune disorders on the prevalence and prognosis post endodontic treatment. Furthermore, convincing evidence supports that successful root canal treatment has a beneficial impact on systemic health by reducing the inflammatory burden, thereby dismissing the misconceptions of focal infection theory. Although compelling evidence regarding the association between apical periodontitis and systemic health is present, further high-quality research is required to support and establish the benefits of endodontic treatment on systemic health.

Abstract
Synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome is a rare autoinflammatory disease characterized by dermatological disorders and osteoarticular inflammatory lesions. This article reviews the application of biologics and other treatments based on the therapeutic target and the size of molecules in SAPHO syndrome. We found that drugs, especially biologics, have different effects on bone, joint, and skin damage. This may relate to the different inflammatory pathways involved in the osteoarticular and cutaneous symptoms in SAPHO patients. In this study, we provide stratified medication recommendations for SAPHO syndrome. Patients with osteoarticular symptoms can consider tumor necrosis factor blockers, JAK inhibitor, interleukin (IL)-1 inhibitor, and IL-17 inhibitor. Patients with cutaneous symptoms should consider IL-17 and JAK inhibitors. Apremilast, Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, and bisphosphonates are other effective treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mandible osteomyelitis can occur in synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome, a rare chronic inflammatory disease; however, few studies have explored its characteristics and management. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of consecutive SAPHO patients with mandible involvement diagnosed in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from September 2014 to July 2019. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and imaging data were collected at baseline. Prescription data and follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were collected from the hospital information system. An electronic questionnaire was distributed to all patients to obtain their latest symptoms. RESULTS A total of 26 SAPHO patients with mandibular involvement were involved, all of whom responded to the questionnaire (38.5% male; median age, 28 years; median follow-up duration, 2.1 years). Ten patients (38.5%) had undergone an oral procedure 1 month before the onset of mandibular symptoms. All 14 of the patients who underwent a surgical intervention relapsed within a median duration of 2 months (range 0.25-4.0 months), and 24 patients (92.3%) achieved improvement with conservative treatment. Following bisphosphonate treatment, remission of bone marrow oedema and osteolysis was observed on MRI and CBCT, and 5 patients receiving bisphosphonates with follow-up CBCT after remission did not relapse in 5.4 months (mean 6.0, range 3.2-9.9 months). CONCLUSION Mandibular involvement of SAPHO syndrome predominantly occurs in young women. Dental procedures are a possible risk factor. Conservative treatment, especially intravenous bisphosphonates, can lead to oral improvement.

Abstract
SAPHO (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis) syndrome is a heterogeneous condition combining osteoarticular and cutaneous manifestations. Conventional treatments are mostly ineffective. We hereby report two patients, the first with an aggressive form of disease and the second with an incomplete response to two different anti-TNF-α agents. Both were successfully treated with tocilizumab and ustekinumab, respectively, over a long period of time. A narrative review of a biological therapy in SAPHO syndrome yielded very little information on the specific use of these agents. We highlight the advantages of personalising therapy and describe emerging promising treatments for this disease.

Abstract
Biologic medications (BMs) are increasingly used for the management of systemic chronic inflammatory diseases. These diseases are often associated with a higher prevalence of apical periodontitis (AP) and periodontitis (P). The purpose of this systematic review was to ascertain the interactions between AP and/or P and BMs. The review was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42017054756). Electronic searches were performed on Pubmed Medline, Scopus and The Web of Science from their inception through to 20 March 2018. The references of the articles selected were checked. The keywords were chosen based on a pilot search, which aimed to find the most frequently prescribed BMs. The included studies were appraised qualitatively using appropriate tools. Thirty-five articles met the inclusion criteria, comprising 16 non-randomized clinical studies, 12 in vivo animal studies and 7 case reports. Quality of information was assessed as high in 18 articles, moderate in 16 articles and low in 1 article. BMs in patients suffering from chronic inflammatory diseases seems to inhibit the progression of AP and P, and to enhance the healing response to periodontal and endodontic treatment. A healthier condition of the periodontal tissues seems to be associated with a better response of the patient to BMs therapy.

Abstract
SAPHO is an acronym for Synovitis, Acne, Pustulosis, Hyperostosis and Osteitis. The syndrome is difficult to diagnose because it may present many different manifestations in adults and children. Its origin is still unknown, although some infectious, genetic and immune hypotheses have been put forward. We report the case of a 49-year-old woman with SAPHO syndrome, who developed a serious cutaneous allergy following the insertion of a removable partial denture (RPD). The oral care and treatment of this patient are described.

Abstract
AIM We evaluated the prevalence of apical periodontitis (AP) and the oral health status in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) treated with immunomodulators, with particular attention to biologic medications (BMs). METHODS One hundred ten patients, 49 men and 61 women (average age, 46 ± 13.8 years), from the Gastroenterology Unit of the University Hospital with IBDs who were treated with BMs or corticosteroids were included in the study. One hundred ten patients who registered for a dental check-up at the Dental Clinic were matched for age, sex, and physical characteristics with the study group without systemic diseases and not taking medications who were the control. Patients underwent a complete oral, dental, and radiographic examination. Decayed, missing, and filled teeth and periapical index score indexes were recorded. Student t test, χ2, and Mann-Whitney U test were used as appropriate. RESULTS The prevalence of AP was 64% in IBD patients and 59% in the control; according to the gender-stratified analysis, the difference was not significant among the male groups, whereas the number of teeth with AP was significantly higher in female patients with IBDs than in the controls (P ≤ .05). The prevalence of AP in patients treated with BMs was 65%; women showed 69% higher risk for AP and presented a significantly higher number of teeth with AP (P ≤ .05). Decayed, missing, and filled teeth index was similar in both groups, whereas patients with IBDs had a higher periapical index score than the controls. CONCLUSIONS Women with IBDs and taking immunomodulators had a higher prevalence of AP. All patients with IBDs had larger lesions than healthy subjects. These data emphasize the influence of the status of the immune system in the onset of AP and the need for further studies to confirm these findings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Given the increasing use of anti-tumor necrosis factor α (anti-TNFα) biologic medications, and their interferences with the immune-inflammatory response, this study evaluated the effect of adalimumab (anti-TNFα), on healing and healing time of apical periodontitis (AP) in ferrets. METHODS Twelve male ferrets received cone beam computed tomography of the jaws at baseline health (T0); AP confirmation (T1); and 30 (T2), 60 (T3), and 90 (T4) days after root canal treatment (RCT) to monitor healing. All animals had AP induced in the canines; 3 ferrets (12 teeth) provided the positive controls for the histologic evaluation; 9 ferrets were randomly divided into 3 treatment groups with 12 teeth each in the following manner: Systemic: conventional RCT and systemic anti-TNFα; Local: RCT and periapical administration of anti-TNFα before canal obturation; conventional RCT only (control). Two calibrated radiologists assessed the cone beam computed tomography images independently and blindly for AP identification and quantification. Rank-based analysis of covariance was used for statistical analysis of lesion size. RESULTS AP was induced in all teeth. Following RCT, all AP lesions in the 3 groups showed a significant reduction in size. Specific pairwise comparisons of the related samples (Friedman's 2-way analysis of variance by ranks within each group) demonstrated a decreasing trend in lesion size with healing time in all 3 groups, most pronounced for local group (local adalimumab). No statistical difference was noticed between groups. CONCLUSIONS Both systemic and local anti-TNFα did not hinder AP healing in this animal model and a faster healing response may also be anticipated. These findings encourage follow-up studies with larger sample sizes.
