  Antibacterial Nanocoatings for Orthodontic Braces and Clear Aligners: Synthesis, Mechanisms, and Translational Potential

  By Atul Khajuria, Sukhmeet Kaur Bedi

  Abstract: Orthodontic brackets, archwires and clear aligners create retentive sites that favor biofilm accumulation, leading to white-spot lesions, enamel demineralization and gingival inflammation during treatment. Conventional chemomechanical plaque control has limited effectiveness in this high-risk environment, especially in adolescents with poor compliance. Antibacterial nanocoatings on metallic and polymeric orthodontic components have emerged as a promising strategy to locally suppress cariogenic and periodontopathogenic biofilms while preserving mechanical performance and esthetics. This review …

  Dental Pulp Stem Cells Derived from Wisdom Teeth as Multitarget Biological Modulators of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease: Mechanistic Insight and Translational Perspective

  By Navitha G. A., Likitha K., Muchukota Sushma, Choppara Eashwari

  Abstract: Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease are chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disorders with complex pathogenic pathways such as neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, synaptic degeneration, and reduced neurotrophic signalling. Despite the large amount of research, the pharmacological treatments in use offer only symptomatic relief and cannot significantly prevent or slow down disease progression sufficiently; new pathogenetic treatment strategies are necessary. In recent years, stem cell-based approaches have gained interest as potential therapeutic …
