Fibrosarcoma: Origin, differential diagnosis, and report of a case in the mandible
Harpreet Kaur, Vandana Gupta, Deepika Mishra, Vikender Singh YadavJournal of Indian Society of Periodontology 2022 26(2):169-177 Fibrosarcoma (FS) is a malignant neoplasm of mesenchymal cells with no specific line of differentiation. Histologically, it mimics the wide spectrum of benign and malignant spindle cell neoplasms creating diagnostic conundrum. Immunohistochemistry plays a crucial role in the diagnosis which relies on various antibodies reacting with different antigens expressed by heterogeneous cells. Thus, there is a need to study the origin of the spindle cells to better comprehend their immunophenotypes that ...

A study to evaluate the prevalence of teeth without clinically detectable mucogingival junction
Conclusion: Almost 25% of the population may show a tooth or few teeth without a clinically detectable MGJ. The prevalence of teeth without clinically detectable MGJ per mouth is very low at 0.7 (approximately 1 tooth/subject). (Source: Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology)

A 5-year prospective validation of the Miller & #8211;McEntire Periodontal Prognostic Index
Conclusions: The findings of the current study demonstrate significant prognostic validity of MMPPI scores for molar loss for 5 years, and a score >8 showed markedly worse molar survival probability in a well-maintained, university-based, prospective cohort. Mobility, smoking, DM, molar type, and furcation were component factors that were significant individual predictors. (Source: Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology)

Comparison of salivary calprotectin levels in periodontitis associated with diabetes mellitus after low-level laser therapy as an adjunct to scaling and root planing: A randomized clinical trial
Conclusions: Reduction in calprotectin levels was noticed with LLLT when used as an adjunct to SRP. Calprotectin may be used as a prognostic marker for periodontitis. (Source: Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology)

In vivo investigation of gingival health and oxidative stress changes in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with and without fluoride use
Conclusions: Gingival health of subjects treated with fixed orthodontic appliances deteriorated from appliance placement till a 6-month time period. Cytokines such as IL-1β and TNF-α associated with oxidative stress during orthodontic treatment increased in both the treated groups, with higher levels in fluoridated subjects. Long-term consequences of oxidative stress changes need further investigation. (Source: Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology)

Comparative assessment of exfoliated gingival cells in healthy individuals and chronic periodontitis patients with and without tobacco chewing habit: A cytomorphometric study
Conclusion: The results suggest that molecular level changes occur in the cells. Cytomorphometry can be used to analyze the cellular changes in chronic periodontitis patients even before clinical signs manifest. Hence, it can be used as an investigative tool.

Metabolomics: Paving the path for personalized periodontics & #8211; A literature review
Antarleena Sengupta, Ashita Uppoor, Manjunath Bandu JoshiJournal of Indian Society of Periodontology 2022 26(2):98-103 The pathogenesis of periodontal disease is governed by a multitude of factors ranging from the macroscopic to the microscopic scale. Among the factors that constitute the etiological agents of the disease, a major element is the role played by the body's metabolome–i.e., the complete collection of microscopic molecules and metabolic products of cells and tissues in the body. Being of a regulatory nature, the interplay of these molecules exerts a considerable effect on the developme...
