The Effects of Topically Applied Citric Acid on Periodontally Diseased Root Surfaces
<p>The goal of reconstructive periodontal therapy is new connective tissue attachment to periodontally diseased root surfaces. Recently Register (1973) and Register and Burdick (1975) have reported accelerated reattachment and cementogenesis when citric acid was applied to surgically created root …

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 …

Prevalence of interleukin-1 polymorphisms and its association with periodontal disease status in the Xhosa population of South Africa
Periodontitis 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 …

An In Vivo Perfusion Apparatus for Studies on Gingival Disease : Assessment by a Perfusion of Nonspecific Proteolytic Enzymes
<p>This thesis describes an in vivo perfusion apparatus which can continuously deliver controlled quantities of solutions to localized, contralateral intra oral areas in albino rats. Three animals were per fused on the experimental area (the mesial sulcular area of the maxillary first molar) on one …

Changes of the Marginal Periodontium as a Result of Labial Tooth Movement in Monkeys
<p>Orthodontic tooth movement was performed on five monkeys (Macaca nemistrina). Oral health was established and exploratory surgery was performed to assess the level of the connective tissue attachment and marginal bone. Measurements of the gingival margin and mucogingival junction were taken and …

The Effect of Glucose on Neutrophilic Phagocytosis
<p>Samples of blood were obtained from thirty healthy young adult males (Loma Linda University School of Dentistry), and contaminated with bacteria. Varying concentrations of pure glucose were added to this mixture to observe the effect of the glucose on in vitro neutrophilic phagocytosis. As the …

The Prevalence of Members of the “Red Complex” in Pregnant Women as Revealed by PCR and BANA Hydrolysis.
Increased levels of oestrogen and progesterone during pregnancy may lead to periodontal disease. The anaerobic Gram-negative bacteria called red complex (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythensis and Treponema denticola) are frequently associated with periodontal disease. …
