A placebo-controlled study of 109 patients found that a 6-month course of 3g of omega-3 and 100 mg aspirin every day was as effective, after 1 year, as a 1-week course of antibiotics at reducing gingivitis. No additional benefit was realized by combining the treatments.

🏆 Honoured to receive the Jaccard-EFP Research Prize at EuroPerio11 (Vienna, May 2025) for our study on subgingival microbial complexes.
🦠 We propose a new evidence-based view of microbial risk in periodontal health.
🧪 A collaboration between France, Spain and Canada, to appear in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology.
🙏 Grateful to all co-authors and the EFP.

The bacterial species in subgingival plaque can be grouped into 5 major complexes. The red complex (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, Tannerella forsythia) is closely tied to periodontal disease severity (pocket depth, bleeding). These findings highlight the role of sequential microbial colonization in shaping pathogenic ecosystems.

Periodontal diseases show a marked increase in prevalence with age, as highlighted by data from Jönköping, Sweden (1983). The progression is irreversible: early diagnosis intervention are essential to protect oral health.

Periodontal diseases show high global prevalence, affecting ~90% of young adults (35–44yo): half with gingivitis, half with periodontitis, with no regional specificity.

CW: symptoms of sexual trauma
"Like all types of trauma, sexual traumas are visible in their secondary symptoms, even without any recollection of any such event (as is often the case with trauma). Although these vary according to the type and severity of the trauma, there are a number of phenomena that can be seen as physical as well as psychological warning signals for the presence of sexual traumatization:
- anxieties that cannot be attributed to circumstances (e.g., not being able to turn off the light in bed at night),
- problems falling asleep, combined with symptoms such as headaches,
- trouble sleeping through the night, startling in their sleep,
- nightmares about evil monsters,
- wetting and defecating during sleep,
- hypersensitivity to #touch,
- #eczema around the mouth,
- inflammation of the genital and anal areas,
- #bladder infections,
- pain when emptying the bladder or bowels,
- constipation and #diarrhea,
- #gingivitis,
- strong bad breath,
- teeth grinding (#bruxism) and ear whistling (#tinnitus),
- sore throat,
- #tonsillitis,
- shallow #breath, shortness of breath,
- back, hip and leg pain,
- severe muscle tension in the pelvic floor area,
- severe pain during sexual intercourse,
- vaginal cramps,
- #dissociation during intercourse or orgasm,
- #disgust with sex,
- #impotence,
- #numbness below the line of the navel,
- disgust for food resembling semen and mucus,
- compulsive washing,
- heavy consumption of #nicotine and #alcohol,
- high consumption of sedatives, sleeping pills, laxatives,
- use of drugs such as #cannabis, #heroin and #cocaine,
- chronic dejection,
- #concentration problems at school or during work,
- #memory lapses and memory disorders,
- extreme attachment,
- extreme withdrawal,
- sudden outbursts of #anger, hostility and aggressiveness,
- yelling and raving,
- self-injurious behavior,
- rejection of one's own body,
- rejection of one's gender role as male or female,
- fear of orgasm,
- inability to have prolonged partner relationships,
- distancing and shamelessness,
- promiscuity,
- prostitution,
- lying, cheating, concealment,
