  1. Review of NHANES dietary data for over 1,200 adults aged 65-79 found an association between low lycopene intake and the risk of periodontal disease. Differences were observed by race and sex.

  2. A study in Nature shows that M101—an oxygen carrier from the marine worm *Arenicola marina*—significantly reduces inflammation and tissue destruction caused by *P. gingivalis*. A promising step for periodontal therapy! 🧫🌊🦷

  3. 🏆 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.

  4. Flossing Lowers Stroke Risk: Those who flossed at least once weekly had a 21% lower incidence of ischemic stroke and a 44% lower risk of stroke associated with atrial fibrillation. #flossing #stroke #periodontitis #plaque #inflammation #atrialfibrillation

  5. 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.

  6. Entamoeba gingivalis: long forgiven, overlooked, and underestimated? Beware, it's back and it's ready to attack!

  7. 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.

    From: Hugoson et al., 1992. doi.org/10.1111/j.1600-051X.19
    Dark blue: healthy, orange: gingivitis, grey: periodontitis with mean bone loss <1/3 height, yellow: 1/3-2/3, light blue: >2/3.

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