Periodontal disease bacteria linked to Alzheimer’s
By AAP Staff
n A recent study has periodontists,
experts in the treatment, diagnosis
and prevention of periodontal disease, encouraging patients to maintain gum health in an effort to reduce
their Alzheimer’s disease risk.
The study, published in the journal Science Advances, uncovered a
potential link between P. gingivalis,
the bacteria associated with periodontal disease (commonly known as gum
disease) and Alzheimer’s. Researchers analyzed brain tissue, spinal fluid

and saliva from Alzheimer’s patients
— both living and deceased — and
found evidence of P. gingivalis.
Gingipains, the toxic enzyme
secreted by P. gingivalis, were found
in 96 percent of the 53 brain tissue
samples examined, with higher levels
detected in those with the pathology
and symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.
Additionally, researchers including co-author Mark I. Ryder, DMD, professor of periodontology at the University of California, San Francisco, noted
the presence of P. gingivalis increased
the production of amyloid beta, a

component of the amyloid plaques
whose accumulation contributes to
Alzheimer’s.
The study confirmed via animal
testing that P. gingivalis can travel
from the mouth to the brain and that
the related gingipains can destroy
brain neurons.
These findings are noteworthy in
that they suggest a biological mechanism for how periodontal disease bacteria may play a role in the development and progression of Alzheimer’s.
Although the study results add
to the evidence supporting a link

between gum disease and Alzheimer’s, additional research is needed
to better understand the etiology of
Alzheimer’s and how periodontal disease bacteria can exacerbate progression.
An upcoming FDA Phase II clinical trial will assess the benefits of
using a novel small molecule inhibitor of these P. gingivalis gingipains
in hindering the development and
progression of Alzheimer’s. This clinical trial may add further insight to
the link between gum disease and
Alzheimer’s.

Osstell Beacon now available
By Osstell Staff
n Osstell, the developer of the proprietary diagnostic technology Osstell ISQ (Implant Stability Quotient),
announces that the Osstell Beacon
is now available in the United States
after receiving clearance from the
FDA.
The Osstell Beacon is a new,
innovative and highly intuitive tool
designed to assess dental implant
stability, according to the company.
Patients — the priority for Osstell
and its users — are increasingly
well informed before seeking implant

treatment and are often aware of
available treatment options. They are
increasingly expecting shorter treatment protocols. In addition, there is
a growing, aging and medically compromised patient population where
healing, for many reasons, can be
unpredictable.
In order to meet these demands

and changing demographics, there
is a need for innovative diagnostic
tools to help the individual clinician
deliver these treatment protocols
while ensuring predictability and
patient satisfaction.
The more than 1,000 studies where
Osstell ISQ technology has been
used provide evidence that Osstell
ISQ diagnostics can help improve
outcomes and quality, using objective data to guide and optimize the
implant treatment for both complex
and more straight-forward cases.
• Optimize restorative protocol:
Know when to load — the Osstell ISQ
technology can assist when determining the patient-specific restorative
protocol. It can help the clinician to
decide when each implant of individual patients is ready to be restored,
both with temporary solutions as well
as the final restoration.
• Ease of use: The Osstell Beacon
makes the stability measurement
very intuitive, according to the company. Having the Osstell ISQ measurements presented with a colored
indication on the instrument, which
is a result of the clinical evidence
from using the Osstell ISQ scale, gives
visual aid of the implant stability
status.
Osstell is also focusing on developing a new concept combining the
best of the Osstell Beacon and the
current Osstell IDx. This concept,
called Osstell IDx Pro, will allow the
user to take a measurement with the
wireless Osstell Beacon and visualize implant stability development on
the large display and comprehensive
user interface of the Osstell IDx, combined with patient data storage and
full connectivity.
