2024 · Afkhami — Exploring Approaches to Pulp Vitality Assessment: A Scoping Review of Nontraditional Methods

International endodontic journal

Accurate assessment of dental pulp vitality is critical in endodontics — yet current clinical tests are imprecise.

2009 · Mahlen — Oral abscess caused by Campylobacter rectus: case report and literature review.

Journal of clinical microbiology

This case report and literature review describes the first documented case of a palate abscess caused by Campylobacter rectus in a patient with gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma.

2024 · Wang — Combined use of hydrogen-rich water and enzyme-digested edible bird's nest improves PMA/LPS-impaired wound healing in human inflammatory gingival tissue equivalents.

Human cell

In a laboratory model of inflamed human gum tissue, the combination of hydrogen-rich water and a processed form of edible bird's nest significantly counteracted the wound-healing damage caused by an inflammatory stimulus.

2022 · Saitoh — Molecular hydrogen suppresses Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide-induced increases in interleukin-1 alpha and interleukin-6 secretion in human gingival cells.

Molecular and cellular biochemistry

In a laboratory cell model of periodontitis, molecular hydrogen (H₂) significantly reduced the secretion of two key inflammatory cytokines — IL-1α and IL-6 — triggered by a major periodontal pathogen.

2019 · Amberg — Effect of Physical Cues of Altered Extract Media from Biodegradable Magnesium Implants on Human Gingival Fibroblasts

Acta biomaterialia

As biodegradable magnesium (Mg) implants corrode, they alter the surrounding medium with elevated Mg²⁺, reduced Ca²⁺, increased osmolality, and dissolved molecular hydrogen (H₂) — all of which affect the migration rate of human gingival fibroblasts.

2018 · Zhou — Protective effects of hydrogen-rich medium on lipopolysaccharide-induced injury in human periodontal ligament cells

Hua xi kou qiang yi xue za zhi = Huaxi kouqiang yixue zazhi = West China journal of stomatology

In cultured human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to simulate bacterial inflammation, hydrogen-rich medium improved cell proliferation, reduced apoptosis, and lowered oxidative stress markers.

2017 · Kim — Inhibition of Streptococcal Biofilm by Hydrogen Water

Journal of dentistry

Electrolyzed hydrogen-rich water significantly inhibited streptococcal biofilm formation in laboratory cultures, reduced the expression of key biofilm-related genes, and — in a small oral-rinse trial — reduced the number of salivary streptococci compared with tap water.

2012 · Baxter et al. — Evaluation of outgassing, tear strength, and detail reproduction in alginate substitute materials.

Operative dentistry

This study compares dental impression materials (alginate substitutes) to traditional alginate for three performance properties: the release of hydrogen gas (outgassing), tear strength, and detail reproduction quality.
