La Rosa GRM, Scapellato S, Cicciù M, Pedullà E. Antimicrobial Activity of Antibacterial Sutures in Oral Surgery: A Scoping Review. Int Dent J 2024; 74:688-695. [PMID: 38429145 DOI: 10.1016/j.identj.2024.01.029] [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: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this scoping review was to explore and synthesise the current evidence on the antimicrobial activity of antibacterial suture materials used in oral surgery. METHODS The review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Extension for Scoping Reviews. A bibliographic search was carried out in the PubMed and Scopus databases to retrieve all human clinical studies that investigated the antimicrobial efficacy of antibacterial-coated sutures used in oral surgery. Included studies were screened and extracted independently by 2 examiners. Data were tabulated and qualitatively described. RESULTS The search initially returned 150 articles and resulted in 5 included studies after the duplicates' removal and the full-text screening. Selected studies were published from 2014 to 2019. Three studies (60%) were randomised clinical trials, whilst the remaining studies did not report information on randomisation. The antimicrobial agents for coated sutures included triclosan and chlorhexidine. In almost all the studies, antibacterial-coated sutures exhibited lower bacterial retention compared to those without coating. CONCLUSIONS Within limitations, the antimicrobial-coated sutures employed in oral surgery exhibited good results in terms of their microbicidal activity when compared with sutures that were not coated. Considering the high variability and confounding factors identified in the included studies, more high-quality research is needed to confirm these results. Antimicrobial-coated sutures could represent a promising and clinically valid strategy to reduce microbial colonisation in oral surgery. The reduced bacterial adherence is likely to improve the clinical success of the surgical procedures. Yet, the cost-benefit ratio of antimicrobial-coated sutures should be assessed in larger clinical trials to confirm their efficacy over conventional noncoated sutures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Information on the association between edentulism and chronic medical conditions in developing countries is lacking. We investigated such information among adults aged ≥45 years in China. METHODS A national longitudinal data set from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) 2011-2018 was analysed. A multilevel logistic regression model was applied to analyse the association between edentulism and select chronic diseases. RESULTS There were 74 240 Chinese adults aged ≥45 years in this study. The prevalence of self-reported edentulism was 8.8% in 2011 and had increased to 16.4% by 2018. CONCLUSION Edentulism was a factor associated with a higher risk of various self-reported chronic diseases among adults aged ≥45 years in China. Edentulism is one of the comorbidities among ageing people with chronic conditions. Preventive public health policy should consider controlling shared risk factors at an earlier age.

Abstract
Background: Arterial hypertension has been associated with severe tooth loss, but differential associations with individual components of blood pressure (BP) have scarcely been investigated. We assessed the independent associations between pulsatile/steady components of BP and severe tooth loss in community-dwelling adults residing in 3 rural Ecuadorian villages. Methods: Individuals aged ≥40 years living in Atahualpa, El Tambo, and Prosperidad were identified during door-to-door surveys. Data collection focused on the number of remaining teeth and measurements of pulsatile/steady components of BP. Multivariate models were fitted to assess independent associations between pulsatile/steady BP components and severe tooth loss, after adjusting for relevant covariates. Results: A total of 1543 individuals were included. Oral exams identified 426 (28%) individuals with severe tooth loss. BP levels ≥140/90 mm Hg were determined in 481 (31%) individuals. The mean pulse pressure (PP) level was 55.3 ± 19 mm Hg. For systolic BP (SBP), the mean level was 133.1 ± 23.5 mm Hg, and for diastolic BP (DBP) it was 77.8 ± 11.5 mm Hg. Univariate models showed significant associations between severe tooth loss and SBP and PP, but not with DBP. However, the significance was taken away in fully adjusted generalized linear models. Age remained as an independent significant covariate in models using SBP and PP. Causal mediation analyses disclosed that percentages of the effect of severe tooth loss mediated by age were 99.5% for SBP and 98.9% for PP. Conclusion: This study shows that age captures most of the effect of the association between pulsatile components of BP and severe tooth loss.

Abstract
The salivary microbiota (SM), comprising bacteria shed from oral surfaces, has been shown to be individualized, temporally stable and influenced by diet and lifestyle. SM reflects local bacterial alterations of the supragingival and subgingival microbiota, and periodontitis and dental-caries associated characteristics of SM have been reported. Also, data suggest an impact of systemic diseases on SM as demonstrated in patients with a wide variety of systemic diseases including diabetes, cancer, HIV and rheumatoid arthritis. The presence of systemic diseases seems to influence salivary levels of specific bacterial species, as well as α- and β-diversity of SM. The composition of SM might thereby potentially mirror oral and general health status. The contentious development of advanced molecular techniques such as metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and metabolomics has enabled the possibility to address bacterial functions rather than presence in microbial samples. However, at present only a few studies have employed such techniques on SM to reveal functional and metabolic characteristics in oral health and disease. Future studies are therefore warranted to illuminate the possible impact of metabolic functions of SM on oral and general health status. Ultimately, such an approach has the possibility to reveal novel and personalized therapeutic avenues in oral and general medicine.

Abstract
Background: Poor dental health occurs in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); some evidence suggests that it may correlate with lower forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and 6-minute walk distance, and an increased rate of exacerbations. However, there is no data that examines how dental health may impact the daily respiratory symptoms that COPD patients experience. We prospectively studied indices of dental health and hygiene in patients with COPD and determined their impact on daily respiratory symptoms. Methods: A total of 20 individuals with COPD (median [interquartile range (IQR)] % FEV1 37 [29-43]) and 10 healthy control individuals with no lung disease were recruited. Dental questionnaires, spirometry, and a dental examination were administered on their initial visit. COPD participants were given an electronic COPD daily diary to document peak expiratory flow and the presence and magnitude of daily breathlessness, cough, sputum production, and wheeze. Results: Compared to healthy controls, COPD participants had less teeth (median 16.5 versus 28, p=0.0001), a trend to a higher plaque index (median 2.2 versus 1.7, p=0.15), and worse oral health-related quality of life (median Oral Health Impact Profile score 12.0 versus 4.5, p=0.02). A greater number of teeth correlated with higher percentage of days with cough (r=0.48, p<0.05) and wheeze (r=0.47, p<0.05). Conclusion: Individuals with severe COPD have poor oral hygiene and oral health-related quality of life. In the setting of poor dentition, a greater number of teeth correlates with more daily respiratory symptoms. More teeth may create a larger reservoir for inflammatory proteins and pathogenic bacteria to be aspirated into the airways.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The introduction of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has led to new possibilities in the treatment of head and neck cancer (HNC). Limited information is available on how this more advanced radiation technique affects the oral microflora. In a prospective study we assessed the effects of various advanced treatments for HNC on the oral microflora, as well as the effects of elimination of oral foci of infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS All consecutive dentate patients >18years, diagnosed with a primary oral or oropharynx carcinoma and seen for a pre-treatment dental screening (May 2011-May 2013) were included. Patients were grouped by oncologic treatment: surgery (SURG), IMRT (IMRT) or IMRT+chemotherapy (CHIMRT). Dental screening data, demographic data, subgingival biofilm samples, oral lavages and whole saliva samples were obtained to microbiologically analyze the effects of cancer treatments (1-year follow-up). RESULTS This study included 82 patients (29 SURG, 26 IMRT and 27 CHIMRT). The trends in changes in prevalence and proportions of microorganisms were comparable in the IMRT and CHIMRT group. However, relative to the SURG group, increased prevalence of enteric rods, staphylococci and Candida species was observed in the IMRT and CHIMRT groups. In these groups, elimination of oral foci decreased the frequency of detection of pathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia and Streptococcus mutans. CONCLUSION Different treatments in HNC patients result in different changes in the oral microflora. Opportunistic pathogens such as staphylococci, enteric rods and Candida sp. tend to increase in prevalence after IMRT with or without chemotherapy, but not after surgical intervention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Whereas the impression that poor oral hygiene is linked to the development of sialolithiasis may be widely accepted, very few studies provide evidence to support this. This study therefore aimed to evaluate the association between chronic periodontitis (CP) and the subsequent development of salivary gland stone based on a nationwide coverage database. STUDY DESIGN A case-control study. METHODS A total of 987 subjects with sialolithiasis were included as cases. In a ratio of five controls per case, 4,935 controls matched in terms of sex and age group were selected. Conditional logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the possible association of sialolithiasis with previously diagnosed CP. RESULTS The prevalence of prior CP between cases and controls demonstrated that 1,831 (30.9%) out of the 5,922 sampled subjects had prior CP. By Chi-square test, there was a significant difference in the prevalence of prior CP between the cases and controls (36.8% vs. 29.7%, P < 0.001). By conditional logistic regression analysis, the odds ratio (OR) of prior CP for cases was 1.37 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.19-1.56) compared to the controls after adjusting for geographic location and tobacco use. Further analyzing the relationship between sialolithiasis and prior CP according to sex, sialolithiasis was associated with prior CP regardless of sex. The adjusted OR of prior CP for the cases was 1.34 (95% CI, 1.10-1.64) and 1.41 (95% CI, 1.15-1.73) for males and females, respectively, when compared to controls. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates an association between CP and sialolithiasis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3b.
