Conclusions PAD and PPAD activities within the periodontium are elevated in RA and non-RA patients with periodontitis. PPAD secreted by P. gingivalis residing in epithelial cells may exert its citrullinating activity in distant regions of the periodontium or even distant tissues. Clinical relevance In periodontitis, the citrullination of proteins/peptides by human and bacterial peptidylarginine deiminases may generate antibodies after breaching immunotolerance in susceptible individuals.

Effect of an Experimental Paste with Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles and Fluoride on Dental Demineralisation and Remineralisation in situ
This study evaluated the effect of an experimental paste containing hydroxyapatite in nanoparticles (nano-HA)/fluoride on dental de-remineralisation in situ. Thirteen subjects took part in this crossover/randomised/double-blind study performed in 4 phases (14 days each). Four sound and 4 pre-demineralised specimens were worn intraorally at each phase corresponding to the following treatments: Nanop Plus (10% HA, 0.2% NaF, nano-HA/fluoride), MI Paste Plus (casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate, 0.2% NaF), F (0.2% NaF) and placebo. Two-hundred and forty enamel and 240 dentine specimens were selected by using surface microhardness; half of them were subjected to pre-demineralisation and the other half remained sound. Sound specimens were further exposed to severe cariogenic challe…

Bone repair of critical size defects treated with autogenic, allogenic, or xenogenic bone grafts alone or in combination with rhBMP?2
ConclusionThe different types of grafts increased bone formation, mainly associated with rhBMP?2, enhancing and accelerating the repair process. These groups had higher enzymatic indices than the control group especially with XeG, which also showed higher TRAP?positive multinucleated cells similar to osteoclasts, suggesting a remodeling process.

Oxidative stress, antioxidants and periodontal disease
Periodontal disease (PD) is a common and important public health problem. The prevalence of periodontitis in the adult USA population is over 47%. In adults aged 65 and older, 64% had either moderate or severe disease (Eke, Dye, Wei, Thornton-Evans, & Genco, 2012). PD may be a risk factor for a number of disorders, some with an increased cardiovascular risk such as metabolic syndrome and diabetes (Kumar, Mishra, Mohanty, & Nayak, 2014; Watanabe & Cho, 2014).
