A Histological Study of the Effects of Controlled Freezing on Human Gingival Tissue
The destructive effect of cold on living tissues has been known for centuries. One of the earliest therapeutic applications of cold involved its anesthetic properties. Napoleon's surgeons amputated limbs painlessly on soldiers who had lain in the snow for some time. Researchers have long explored …

TREM-1 and TREM-2 Protein Expression in Healthy and Diseased Human Gingival Tissue: A Pilot Study
Abstract|Purpose: Inflammation of gingival tissue (periodontitis), affects both the gingiva and the supportive alveolar bone leading to tooth loss and other health risks. Studies have shown that chronic inflammation in some systems is modulated by TREM-1 and TREM-2. TREM-1 amplifies inflammation …

Electrophoretic Determination of Glycoproteins in Human Gingiva
… isolated from the interstitial matrix of human gingival tissue, and from human serum. This study is considered important to the periodontist because of the intimate relationship between periodontal disease and oral connective tissue. | Gingival tissue, obtained during the course of routine …

A Biomechanical Study of Gold and Nickel-Based Dental Bridge Systems Utilizing Distal Abutment Dental Implants.
… a denture, (2) inflammation of surrounding gingival tissue with concomitant pain and decreased retentive capabilities, and (3) accelerated loss of natural supporting dentition (8,24,30). In the patient population exhibiting edentulous posterior regions (represented schematically in Figure …

Temporary tissue retraction before taking impression. A multi-center randomized controlled clinical trial comparing the use of retraction cord, aluminum chloride paste (Expasyl®) and combination of aluminum chloride paste and retraction cord
… impression is required. Therefore, the gingival tissue around an abutment tooth needs to be temporarily retracted to enable the impression material to flow around the preparation margin. For years, the method of choice has been placing a cotton retraction cord into the gingival sulcus to …

Investigating the Role of Trimeric Autotransporter Adhesins in Fusobacterium nucleatum Pathogenesis
… Although the bacterium is abundant in healthy gingival tissue, recent studies have found that F. nucleatum is associated with a wide-spectrum of human diseases which include periodontal disease, preterm birth, endocarditis, colorectal cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Previous studies of F. …

Differential Stimulation of Monocytes to Secrete Secretory Leukocyte Protease Inhibitor by Lipopolysaccharide of Periodontal Pathogens
… secretary and inflammatory cells that protects tissue from damage caused by the inflammatory response. The present study examined the interaction of LPS prepared from periodontal pathogens with monocytes to stimulate them to secrete SLPI. The hypothesis of this study is that (1) LPS molecules of …

Nicotine and its effects on periodontal tissue
… lesions. The nicotine concentration around the gingival tissue can get up to 300 times higher than in the plasma cells of a smoker (20 ng/ml), which in turn will damage the cell population of the oral cavity. Smoking produces harmful chemicals and carbon monoxide, which cause a decrease in the …

Monocyte Modulation of Disease Pathogenesis and Progression in Localized Aggressive Periodontitis
… Factor (PAF) have shown to be elevated in the gingival tissue and gingival crevicular fluid of subjects with periodontitis. The aim of this study was to further characterize the unique phenotype of the myeloid cell by investigating its role in the increased levels of PAF in periodontitis …
