Novel Approach to Assess Periodontal Disease Severity Using Volumetric Analysis
<p>The purpose of this study was to evaluate if the absolute change in linear measurements of bone loss on the facial plane of a maxillary central incisor at full and half root length along the vertical axis is directly proportional to volumetric change. The secondary aim was to evaluate if the …

Utilizing Electronic Dental Record Data to Track Periodontal Disease Change
Periodontal disease (PD) affects 42% of US population resulting in compromised quality of life, the potential for tooth loss and influence on overall health. Despite significant understanding of PD etiology, limited longitudinal studies have investigated PD change in response to various treatments. …

Inter-individual variation in saliva antioxidant status in relation to periodontal disease
… been implicated in the aetiology of many human disease states, including periodontal disease (PD). Saliva contains an array of antioxidants that neutralise the harmful effects of free radical formation within the oral cavity. Increased salivary antioxidant capacity may limit oxidative tissue …

The Effect of Mechanical Plaque Control on the Clinical Parameters of Human Periodontal Disease
… the degree of healing which takes place in the periodontal tissues as a result of supragingival and subsequent subgingival plaque control attempts without any associated supra- or subgingival instrumentation and root planing.</p> <p>Seven patients with moderate to severe periodontitis were …

Microbiology of periodontal disease in Singapore and the discovery of a bacterial intron in Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans
Ethnicity is a risk factor for periodontal disease. The occurrence of major periodontal pathogens in a total of 410 periodontally healthy and diseased subjects in the ethnic Chinese in Singapore were determined. Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans cdt; Porphyromonas gingivalis prtC and Tannerella …

New Attachment of Connective Tissues to Human Teeth Involved in Chronic Periodontal Disease : A Histologic Study
… of the periodontium destroyed by periodontal disease may be considered an ultimate goal of reconstructive periodontal therapy. To date, there has been no concrete evidence demonstrating this phenomenon in humans. Garrett (1978) has shown that citric acid, after application to root …

Periodontal disease and oral health-related quality of life : smoking cessation adventures in primary dental care
… in remote-rural Scotland consists of treating periodontal disease, an inflammatory condition for which smoking is a proven risk factor.<br/><br/>This thesis sought to ascertain the effectiveness of a smoking cessation intervention applied in a primary care dental setting and employed a …

Do Down's Syndrome patients in Scotland have access to appropriate treatment and support for aggressive periodontal disease?
… appropriate treatment and support for aggressive periodontal disease. My literature review will consist of three parts. The first part will look at the relationship between Down's Syndrome (DS) and aggressive periodontitis. The second part will identify treatments relevant to this particular group …

Allostatic Load in Relation to Periodontal Disease, Tooth Loss, and Mortality: Findings from the 1914 Glostrup Aging Study
… concern about a rise in the prevalence of periodontal disease, characterized by chronic inflammation of tooth-supporting tissues induced by persistent infection. Compared to their younger counterparts, older adults experience a higher burden of periodontal disease, which can result in tooth …

Prevalence of interleukin-1 polymorphisms and its association with periodontal disease status in the Xhosa population of South Africa
… is a bacterially induced chronic inflammatory disease that destroys the supporting tissues of teeth. Clinical observations and experimental evidence indicates that there is a genetic influence of risk factors for periodontitis. A specific pattern of IL-1 polymorphisms (known as the composite …

KGF-1 and KGF receptor expression in human periodontal disease and in vitro microwounding-associated-ligand-independent KGFR activation
Objectives: Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammation resulting in periodontal attachment loss. Keratinocyte Growth Factor-1 (KGF-1) is upregulated in chronic inflammation and specifically stimulates epithelial cell proliferation by signaling through the epithelial-specific Keratinocyte Growth …

Biochemical and immunological studies of periodontal disease in humans with emphasis on the analyses of breakdown products emanating from the gingival crevice
Active periodontal disease is characterized by marked destruction of collagen in periodontally-involved tissues. Biochemical characterization of the disease is complicated as it is an episodic disorder that is believed to cycle through periods of high activity and quiescence. The first part of the …

The potential for diagnosing high blood pressure at the dentist: an examination of periodontal disease and the oral microbiome in raised blood pressure.
… This project aimed to examine links between periodontal disease, the oral microbiome, and raised blood pressure, while establishing a cardiovascular risk case-finding clinic with a GP referral pathway.<br/>Methods: The project comprised three studies: Study I established and identified …

The effect of maternal oral health on pregnancy outcomes
… evidence points to an association between periodontal disease and adverse pregnancy outcomes and thus a better understanding of the nature of this association will assist in treatment planning to reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes. Among the Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria frequently …

Inulin Supplementation to Support Periodontal Health
Periodontal disease is a chronic state of inflammation that can destroy the supporting tissues around the teeth, leading to the resorption of alveolar bone. The initial strategy for treating periodontal disease is non-surgical sanative therapy (ST). Periodontal disease can also induce dysbiosis in …

The Importance of the Patient's Self-care of Periodontal Pocket Bacteria
Periodontal disease is an infection that destroys the soft tissue and bone supporting the tooth Pockets form when the periodontal disease shows up, and the bones as well as tissues supporting the teeth are destroyed As a result, it is important to consider managing and controlling periodontal …
