Peri-implant tissue stability plays a crucial role in the long-term success of dental implants. A history of periodontitis is considered a major risk factor for peri-implant complications, even in patients undergoing supportive periodontal therapy (SPT). To compare peri-implant clinical and radiographic parameters between individuals with treated periodontitis on regular SPT and periodontally healthy subjects. This cross-sectional observational study included 120 systemically healthy individuals

Enterococcus faecalis is a microorganism frequently implicated in endodontic infections, capable of colonising both biological tissues and inert surfaces. However, the relationship between its chromosomal and plasmid gene repertoires and the type of endodontic environment it inhabits remains poorly elucidated. To analyse the distribution of E. faecalis virulence genes and their association with the ecological origin of biotic and abiotic isolates. Seventy-five E. faecalis isolates obtained from

This study aimed to evaluate volumetric lip changes with hyaluronic acid (HA) by comparing pixel values between pre- and post-filling lip photographs. Thirty-two female patients, aged 35 to 66 years, were selected and received 1 mL of HA, which was applied to both the lower and upper lips. In the before-and-after photographs, the changes in pixel count resulting from the HA injection were quantified using GIMP, a reliable, widely used image analysis tool. Paired t-tests and ANOVA were applied. O
