Postbiotics and Dental Caries: A Systematic Review
Postbiotics offer a promising novel approach to dental caries prevention by targeting cariogenic bacteria and modulating the oral microbiome through multiple mechanisms. Compared to probiotics, postbiotics present additional advantages, including enhanced safety, stability, and ease of incorporation into oral care products.

High Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Intake and Oral Cavity Cancer in Smoking and Nonsmoking Women
In this study, high sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake was associated with a significantly increased risk of OCC in women, regardless of smoking or drinking habits, yet with low baseline risk.

The application of a fasting-mimicking diet in periodontitis. A feasibility study
This study suggests that one cycle of adjunctive fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) is feasible and may modulate the inflammatory response post-non-surgical periodontal therapy.

This study demonstrated an anti-inflammatory effect of two different intermittent fasting regimes on periodontal and metabolic parameters during an experimental gingivitis model in systemically and periodontally healthy participants. Results are limited by randomization issues and potential bias in the Bahá’í dray fasting (BF).

Restoration of vitamin D levels in vitamin D-deficient patients to the recommended average level (30 ng/mL), according to established guidelines, led to decreased MMP-9 levels in individuals with different periodontal statuses (healthy, gingivitis or periodontitis), potentially mitigating periodontal risks.

The best evidence of specific beneficial effects for xylitol gum differing from those of sorbitol gum are found in the evaluated mutans streptococci (MS) and plaque studies. The results of the reviewed caries trials are in line with this idea. Xylitol gum chewing is suggested to act as an adjunct to toothbrushing for reducing caries-associated MS and plaque accumulation to control and prevent caries occurrence in children and adults. Adults with other plaque-related diseases like periodontal disease should also benefit from xylitol gum.

A trend towards stabilization of the inflammatory parameters [bleeding on probing (BOP), periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA)] was observed in the whole-food plant-based diet (WPBD) group. Because of the non-significant changes within the groups, this study highlights the imperative for future studies.

Association of dietary and plasma fatty acids with periodontitis
The authors provided evidence of significant associations between certain fatty acids and periodontitis and its severity, highlighting their contributory role, although the evidence does not support a causal role based on the results of Mendelian randomization (MR)-based analyses.

D-mannose alleviates chronic periodontitis in rats by regulating the functions of neutrophils
D-mannose can alleviate chronic periodontitis in rats by regulating the functions of neutrophils, potentially associated with the expression of translocation 2 (TET2) and glycolysis, providing new insights into the potential application of D-mannose to chronic periodontitis.

Structural Equation Modeling revealed that oral condition was positively correlated with nutritional status, and nutritional status was positively correlated with the World Health Organization-5 Well-Being Index. These findings suggest that oral condition may influence subjective well-being via nutritional status or social environmental factors.
