  • The Impact of Quality of Life on Oral Health in a Male Prison Population in Portugal: A Cross-Sectional Study
    Diana Meireles, Paulo Rompante, Rosana Costa, Filomena Salazar, Marco Infante da Câmara, et al.
    European Journal of Dentistry, 2026
    Oral health problems can have a significant impact on people's quality of life, negatively affecting the most disadvantaged populations. The prison population compared with the general population has a higher risk of developing oral health problems. The main objective of this study was to assess the relationship between prisoners' oral health status and their oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). This cross-sectional study was conducted with the participation of 103 male prisoners aged between 18 and 70 years. Participants underwent an intraoral clinical examination and responded to the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP)-14 and sociodemographic questionnaires. The sample mean age was 42.7 ± 9.6 years. The impacts of oral health on quality of life were assessed using the OHIP-14, which presented a mean score of 13.16 ± 11.79. The highest prevalence of impact on oral health was observed in the domains of psychological discomfort (29.6%), followed by physical pain (24.3%). It was observed that 68.0% of the individuals had caries lesions. The mean Decayed, Missing, and Filled Permanent Teeth Index (DMFT) was 16.88 ± 8.56, and the component with the highest weight was the number of missing teeth, with a mean value of 13.00 ± 8.44. In terms of assessing oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), it was observed that the higher the value of the different periodontal indices, as well as the number of missing teeth, the worse the quality of life in relation to oral health. Therefore, it is necessary to create measures to promote oral health and self-care.
  • Limosilactobacillus reuteri in Pediatric Oral Health: A Systematic Review
    João Pedro Carvalho, Romy Grondin, Paulo Rompante, Célia Fortuna Rodrigues, José Carlos Andrade, et al.
    Applied Sciences Switzerland, 2025
    Background: Limosilactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri), present in the oral and intestinal microbiota, can colonize the oral cavity through breastfeeding and dairy intake, promoting oral health by balancing the microbiota, inhibiting pathogens, and modulating immune responses. This study aimed to evaluate the preventive role and therapeutic potential of L. reuteri in pediatric oral health. Methods: A literature review was conducted using PubMed, Wiley Library, and the Cochrane Library, supplemented by manual screening, according to PRISMA guidelines and covering the period from January 2011 to 31 December 2024. Results: From 835 records identified, 12 studies met the inclusion criteria. Data shows that L. reuteri strains produce antimicrobial substances that disrupt biofilms and inhibit Streptococcus mutans and other lactobacilli, leading to increased oral pH and improved periodontal indices. The effectiveness of probiotics was found to be strain-specific and transient, with continuous intake and adequate oral hygiene enhancing their ability to colonize the oral cavity. Conclusions: Probiotics show significant potential as therapeutic interventions for controlling cariogenic bacteria and supporting gum health in children. Through mechanisms including bacterial co-aggregation, competitive exclusion, antimicrobial compound synthesis, and immune modulation, probiotics may effectively reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Their effectiveness depends on the strain, regular intake, proper dosing, good oral hygiene, and suitable delivery, which enhance oral colonization and clinical benefits.
  • Repurposing Mouthwashes: Antifungal and Antibiofilm Abilities of Commercially Available Mouthwashes Against Candida spp.
    Marie Maziere, Paulo Rompante, José Carlos Andrade, Beatriz S. F. De Oliveira, Mariana C. Alves, et al.
    Antibiotics, 2025
    Background/Objectives: The main objective was to evaluate and compare the antifungal efficacy against Candida spp. in commercially available mouthwashes distributed in the European market. Indeed, the solution to emerging infectious diseases may no longer lie in costly new drug development but rather in unlocking the untapped potential of existing substances. Materials and Methods: Eighteen mouthwashes, chosen based on their composition, were tested in vitro against ten Candida strains, including clinical isolates of oral origin and reference strains, in both planktonic and biofilm forms. The antifungal susceptibility testing was conducted using the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) disc diffusion method and the evaluation of the kinetic growth in planktonic Candida. Biofilm reduction was determined by the evaluation of the minimal biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was performed to evaluate potential morphological alterations of Candida biofilms. Results: Most mouthwashes effectively reduced biomass production and colony-forming unit (CFU) count. Parodontax Extra showed the highest efficacy. In the disc diffusion assay, Gum Paroex 0.12% exhibited the largest average inhibition zone diameter. Some unusual trends in the data may be explained by a higher reaction of fungal cells and the release of excess biomass during co-incubation in higher concentration of mouthwashes. SEM images revealed significant morphological alterations. Conclusion: Mouthwashes containing chlorhexidine digluconate, either alone or in combination with cetylpyridinium chloride and other active compounds, emerged as a common factor among the most efficacious formulations. In vivo studies will be essential to validate these findings, but mouthwashes may serve as a valuable adjuvant in the treatment of oral candidiasis.
  • Evaluation of the antifungal effect of plant extracts on oral Candidaspp.–a critical methodological analysis of the last decade
    M. Maziere, J. C. Andrade, P. Rompante, C. F. Rodrigues
    Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 2025
    INTRODUCTION In 2022, the World Health Organization published a report encouraging researchers to focus on Candida spp. to strengthen the global response to fungal oral infections and antifungal resistance. In the context of innovative research, it seems pertinent to investigate the antifungal potential of natural extracts of plants and the methodology involved in the recent reports. The aim of this systematic review is to identify the current state of in vitro research on the evaluation of the ability of plant extracts to inhibit Candida spp. MATERIAL AND METHODS A bibliographic search has been developed to on a 10-year period to identify which plant extracts have an antifungal effect on the Candida spp. found in the oral cavity. RESULTS A total of 20 papers were reviewed and fulfilled all the selection criteria and were included in the full data analysis. DISCUSSION Plants have been tested in a wide range of states - whole extracts, extraction of particular components such as flavonoids or polyphenols, or even using the plant to synthesize nanoparticles. Of forty-five plants tested, five of them did not show any effect against Candida spp., which weren't part of the same family. There is a wide range of plant that exhibit antifungal proprieties. CONCLUSION Many plants have been tested in a wide range of states - whole extracts, extraction of components such as flavonoids or polyphenols, or even using the plant to synthetize nanoparticles. The combination of plants, the addition of plants to a traditional antifungal and the interference with adhesion provided by some plants seem to be promising strategies. Nonetheless, on contrary to drugs, there is a critical lack of standardization on methodologies and protocols, which makes it difficult to compare data and, consequently, to conclude, beyond doubts, about the most promising plants to fight Candida spp. oral infections.
  • Limosilactobacillus reuteri AJCR4: A Potential Probiotic in the Fight Against Oral Candida spp. Biofilms
    António Rajão, João P. N. Silva, Diana L. Almeida-Nunes, Paulo Rompante, Célia Fortuna Rodrigues, et al.
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2025
    Oral candidiasis is one of the most common infections in the immunocompromised. Biofilms of Candida species can make treatments difficult, leading to oral infection recurrence. This research aimed to isolate a Lactobacillus with anti-Candida effects from the oral cavity. An oral Lactobacillus was isolated in caries-free individuals. The best isolate was evaluated against Candida spp. planktonic and biofilm forms. The bacterial impacts on Candida biofilms’ adhesion to acrylic discs were analyzed through an in vitro test. L. reuteri AJCR4 had the best anti-Candida activity in the preliminary screening. Results were promising in both planktonic and biofilms, particularly with C. albicans SC5314 and C. tropicalis ATCC750, where no viable cells were detected when using the cell-free supernatant (undiluted). In C. glabrata ATCC2001 and C. parapsilosis ATCC22019 biofilms, reductions of 3 Log10 and more than 2 Log10, respectively, were noted when using a cell suspension of L. reuteri ACJR4 (108 CFU/mL). On polymethyl methacrylate acrylic discs, the cell-free supernatant reduced Candida adhesion, resulting in no viable cell detection on the surface. In conclusion, L. reuteri AJCR4 demonstrated notable antifungal activity against Candida biofilms. This oral isolate and its postbiotic can be a potential alternative strategy to oral candidiasis, especially to treat recalcitrant infections.
  • Oral lesions and disorders and their prevalence arising from the use of illicit drugs in a prison population
    Marta Relvas, Luciana Rocha, Paulo Rompante, Filomena Salazar, Luís Monteiro, et al.
    Acta Odontologica Scandinavica, 2025
    Background: The dependence on the illicit drugs has been proven to be harmful to the oral cavity and may lead to a series of abnormal manifestations. The main objective of this study was to observe the effects caused by the consumption of illicit drugs in the oral cavity, in a prison population in the North of Portugal.Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted involving 91 male inmates aged 25-75 years (mean age 41.14 ± 8.98), from Paços de Ferreira Prison. The participants were subjected to a medical interview and a clinical examination. Descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test were used to assess the association between the qualitative variables. The level of statistical significance used was α ≤ 0.05.Results: The consumption of illicit drugs proved to be a common practice (86.8%), where cannabis, heroin and cocaine were the most prevalent (29.1%). Thirty-one inmates were attending the methadone rehabilitation program (34.1%). Most of patients consuming illicit substances, were also smokers (93.7%) (p<.001). Of the 91 participants, 82 (90.1%) presented oral manifestations, with caries lesions being the most prevalent (61.0%) and oral mucosa lesions the least observed (3.7%). Heavy drug consumption was related with rampant caries lesion (p=.011) and chewing difficulty (p=.024) when compared with cannabis consumption.Conclusion: The main oral manifestations found, associated to the consumption of illicit drugs were caries lesions, tooth loss and sensitivity, periodontal diseases, temporomandibular disorders, xerostomia, and bruxism.
  • Effectiveness of Photobiostimulation and Ablation With Diode Laser in Oral Squamous Papilloma: A Case Report
    J. A. Costa, M. B. Alvarez, L. Monteiro, P. Rompante, F. Salazar, et al.
    Case Reports in Dentistry, 2025
    This study evaluates the therapeutic effectiveness of diode laser and photobiostimulation (PBS) in the treatment of an oral squamous papilloma in the lingual mucosa in a 69‐year‐old male. The patient was subjected to complete hematological examination, and all parameters were within normal limits. The kind of damage, accessibility, aesthetics, and possibility of bleeding all played a role in the choice of therapy. The lesion was totally excised using the diode laser, and PBS was applied to contribute to healing and reduction of bleeding and inflammation. The patient had no pain throughout this process, which was shown to be a fast and efficient method of therapy. After 30 days, the lesion was fully healed, and 1 year of follow‐up has been completed positively with no recurrences. In conclusion, PBS promoted rapid healing and diode laser is an alternative in these types of oral lesions and a good substitute for traditional surgery.
  • Are Mouthwashes Really Effective against Candida spp.?
    Marie Maziere, Paulo Rompante, José Carlos Andrade, Célia F. Rodrigues
    Journal of Fungi, 2024
    Oral candidiasis is an opportunistic infection caused by fungi of the genus Candida. Nystatin, fluconazole, and miconazole are the most widely used antifungal drugs in dentistry, but in recent years, they have been shown to be less effective due to the increase in the resistance to antifungal drugs. The growing challenge of antifungal resistance emphasizes the importance of exploring not only alternative strategies in the fight against Candida spp. infections but also supportive treatment for pharmacological treatment for oral candidiasis. This review aims to evaluate and compare the in vitro reports on antifungal efficacy against Candida spp. exhibited by mouthwashes distributed on the European market. The research question was elaborated through the PEO framework recommended by PRISMA 2020. A bibliographic search strategy was developed for the scientific online databases Pubmed and ScienceDirect. According to the eligibility criteria, 21 papers were included in this study over a 27-year period. Mouthwashes containing chlorhexidine digluconate, cetylpyridinium chloride, hexetidine, and fluorine compounds among others, and natural antimicrobials, such as menthol, thymol, eucalyptol, and Glycyrrhiza glabra extracts, have demonstrated antifungal effectiveness. Nonetheless, the methodological variance introduces ambiguity concerning the comparative efficacy of distinct molecules or mouthwash formulations and complicates the evaluation and the comparison of results between studies. Some mouthwashes commercially available in Europe have the potential to be used in anti-Candida therapy and prevention since they have shown antifungal effect.
  • Antimicrobial Efficacy of Chemomechanical Carie Removal Agents—A Systematic Integrative Review
    Adélaïde Janvier, Marie Maziere, Célia F. Rodrigues, Ana Paula Lobo, Paulo Rompante
    Biomedicines, 2024
    Background: Dental caries is the most common oral disease in the world. When treatable, the drilling method continues to be used. This technique has its disadvantages because it is invasive and nonspecific. Chemomechanical carious tissue removal agents (CCRAs) such as Carisolv™ or Papacarie® are non-invasive products that allow for the specific elimination of infected dentin. On the other hand, cariogenic bacteria are largely responsible for the initiation and development of lesions. Objectives: The aim is to analyze whether CCRAs have a relevant antimicrobial effect on cariogenic bacteria. Methods: A bibliographic search strategy was carried out in online databases using PRISMA 2020. The evaluation of the antibacterial efficacy of CCRAs was carried out through the analysis of the reduction in CFUs of cariogenic bacteria, and the presence of bacterial deposits, TVC, SVC and LVC by comparison with conventional drilling methods. Results: The results showed that the percentage of reduction in TVC, SVC and LVC for each agent is mostly high, but not significantly different from mechanical methods. The best results were found with CCRAs when compared to polymeric drills. The results also showed that there is a lack of methodological standardization. Conclusions: CCRAs have been shown to have a relevant antimicrobial effect on cariogenic bacteria; however, more studies need to be carried out using standardized methodologies.
  • Sinus Floor Augmentation with Synthetic Hydroxyapatite (NanoBone®) in Combination with Platelet-Rich Fibrin: A Case Series
    Luís Francisco, Manuel Francisco, Rosana Costa, Miguel Vasques, Marta Relvas, et al.
    Biomedicines, 2024
    Several techniques have been described for maxillary sinus graft augmentation, including the lateral window technique and crestal approach with osteotomes or osseodensification. Platelet-rich fibrin has been used in maxillary sinus lift procedures due to its ability to accelerate soft and hard tissue healing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of PRF in combination with the synthetic hydroxyapatite NanoBone® to enhance bone regeneration in sinus floor elevation with the lateral window technique. Out of the 50 individuals screened in a preoperative assessment visit from the CESPU—Famalicão clinical unit and intervened upon between January 2023 and December 2023, only 6 patients who met the study’s inclusion criteria consented to participate. In a split-mouth study, twelve sinus graft surgeries were carried out. Our observations reveal that for the test group (NanoBone®/PRF), there is a 27.5 ± 4.9% increase new vital bone, 23.0 ± 3.7% increase in inert bone particles, and 49.4 ± 2.8% increase in connective tissue. Meanwhile, for the control group (NanoBone®), there is a 19.5 ± 3.0% increase in new vital bone, 23.4 ± 5.7% increase in inert bone particles, and 57.0 ± 3.5% increase in connective tissue. The results strongly indicate that mixing liquid PRF with NanoBone® does not have a negative influence on the amount of viable bone formation, and it seems to slightly increase the amount of new bone formation and revascularization in sinus bone graft procedures with the lateral window technique compared to the single use of NanoBone®.
