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 …

Synergism of Gingipains in Endothelial Cell Adhesion Disruption and Apoptosis
… of <em>Porphyromonas gingivalis</em>in the periodontal pocket and the high levels of gingipain activity detected in gingival crevicular fluid could implicate a role for gingipains in the destruction of the highly vascular periodontal tissue. To explore the effects of these proteases on …

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 …

Missing data handling in health sciences a neuro-fuzzy methods approach
Os levantamentos epidemiológicos de saúde periodontal exigem um tempo de exame extenso quando realizados através de avaliações completas da boca, o que sobrecarrega participantes e examinadores. Para aliviar isso, utiliza-se exames parciais da boca, omitindo intencionalmente alguns dados. No …

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 …

Characterization of Hpk2-Rrp2, two-component regulatory system in Treponema denticola
… in the gingival crevice become elevated as periodontal disease develops. Oral treponemes may account for as much as 40% of the total bacterial population in the periodontal pocket. The stimuli that trigger enhanced growth of T. denticola and the mechanisms associated with the transmission of …

Mechanisms of Oxidative Stress Resistance in Porphyromonas gingivalis W83
… factors which aid in its persistence in the periodontal pocket leading to the development of some systemic illnesses. As an anaerobe, <em>P. gingivalis</em>must employ mechanisms to avoid oxidative stress generated by reactive oxygen species during phagocytosis, or the occasional exposure to …

Expanding the Genetic Toolkit of Fusobacterium nucleatum by Generation of Fully-Sequenced Genomes and Discovery of Natural Competence
… into surrounding cells and tissues of the periodontal pocket (below the gymline) and capable of disseminating throughout the entire body. Because of this, F. nucleatum is associated with a wide variety of diseases, most recently and strikingly, colorectal cancer. Despite the pathogenic …

DNA Repair of 8-oxo-7,8-Dihydroguanine Lesions in Porphyromonas gingivalis
… in the inflammatory environment of the periodontal pocket requires an ability to overcome oxidative stress. DNA damage is a major consequence of oxidative stress. Unlike other organisms, a non-base excision repair mechanism for the removal of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG) in P. …
