Longitudinal Salivary Immunophenotyping Reveals Distinct Cellular Signatures of Periodontal Disease Activity and Resolution

Raza Ali Naqvi, Matt Tokarski, Kristofer Ceredon, Joseph Gluck, Sarah Elshourbagy, Laura Popa, Lana Dalbah, Michael L. Schmerman, JOEL L. SCHWARTZ, Salvador Nares, Afsar Naqvi

This paper shows that salivary immune cell profiling can track periodontal disease activity and treatment response by identifying changes in immune cell populations and inflammatory markers.

Oral Cavity Serves as Long-Term COVID-19 Reservoir with Increased Periodontal and Viral Disease Risk

JOEL L. SCHWARTZ, Kristelle J. Capistrano, Raza Ali Naqvi, Sarah Elshourbagy, Armita Hezarkhani, Sodabeh Etminan, Joshua Bland, Shrihari S. Kadkol, Deepak Shukla, Salvador Nares, Scott L. Tomar, Afsar Raza Naqvi

This study finds that the oral cavity acts as a long-term SARS-CoV-2 reservoir in COVID-19 patients, associated with increased periodontal disease and viral infection risks, with vaccination reducing but not eliminating these effects.
