Neutrophil extracellular traps in periodontitis
… traps (NETs) in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. A fluorometric assay was developed for the in vitro quantification of NET release and used to assess relative levels in chronic periodontitis patients, indicating elevated release under several stimulatory conditions compared with …

Oral epithelium in the pathogenesis of periodontitis
… to plaque bacteria and its potential role in periodontitis is investigated. This thesis describes the development of a model system, utilising an immortal epithelial cell line (H400) in order to investigate responses to periodontal pathogen stimulation (P. gingivalis and F. nucleatum) in terms …

C-reactive Protein Levels in Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis Patients
… There is mounting evidence to indicate that periodontitis may be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Periodontitis may be linked to CVD as either an etiologic mechanism or a predisposing factor that can hasten disease progression. Proinflammatory cytokines, elevated fibrinogen, …

Association Between Periodontitis and Hyperglycemia and Metabolic Syndrome Components
<p>BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Adult periodontitis is commonly considered as a chronic inflammatory disease resulting from low-grade oral infection associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, its relation including metabolic syndrome and the understanding of biological pathways are …

Interleukin-6 Levels in Generalized and Localized Aggressive Periodontitis Patients
… LEVELS IN GENERALIZED AND LOCALIZED AGGRESSIVE PERIODONTITIS PATIENTSBy Bindu Reddy, D.D.S.A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science at the Virginia Commonwealth UniversityVirginia Commonwealth University, 2004Major Director: Joseph V. …

Single-cell Analysis of Structural and Immune Cell Interactions in Periodontitis
BACKGROUND: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by progressive destruction of tooth-supporting tissues and can be conceptualized as a dysregulated, non-healing wound. While bulk transcriptomic studies have provided insight into inflammatory pathways, single-cell RNA …

Salivary Profiling Reveals Distinct Immune Activity in Periodontitis and Peri-Implantitis
Periodontitis and peri-implantitis are chronic inflammatory diseases driven by biofilm dysbiosis and characterized by soft tissue inflammation and progressive bone loss. While the two conditions share clinical similarities, peri-implantitis is often associated with more rapid and extensive tissue …

Monocyte Modulation of Disease Pathogenesis and Progression in Localized Aggressive Periodontitis
Localized Aggressive Periodontitis (LAgP) is an aggressive, early onset form of periodontitis characterized by a unique myeloid cell phenotype. In addition to its bacterial origin, the unique phenotype of the myeloid cell contributes to disease pathogenesis and progression through mechanisms …

Diabetes Mellitus and the Prevalence of Periapical Periodontitis in a Scottish Subpopulation
… </b>To assess the prevalence of periapical periodontitis in patients with diabetes mellitus, compare this against patients without a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, and to evaluate the relationship between periapical periodontitis and glycosylated haemoglobin …

Histopathological Changes in Dental Pulp Associated with Periodontitis: A Systematic Review and Meta Analysis
Background: Periodontitis, a prevalent chronic inflammatory condition, impacts not only the tooth-supporting structures but may also induce significant histopathological changes in the dental pulp. While some studies suggest associations, others remain inconclusive, necessitating a comprehensive …

Cystic Fibrosis-Related Diabetes, Periodontitis, and Quality of Life in Adults with Cystic Fibrosis
… to worsening chronic health conditions. Periodontitis, the inflammation of hard tissues that support and anchor the teeth, is a source of infection that could compromise the respiratory health of individuals with CF. Periodontitis is independently associated with increased systemic …

Η δυνητική επίδραση του καπνίσματος στην περιοδοντίτιδα / The potential impact of smoking on periodontitis
Το κάπνισμα αποτελεί ένα σύνθετο κοινωνικό και ιατρικό φαινόμενο. Λαμβάνοντας αρχικά τελετουργικό και στη συνέχεια θεραπευτικό χαρακτήρα, η μεταφορά του φυτού του καπνού και της συνήθειας του καπνίσματος από την Αμερική στην Ευρώπη και η ευρεία διάδοσή του, ανέδειξε το κάπνισμα ως μία συνήθεια που …

Investigating the role of host genetic polymorphisms in periodontitis susceptibility in a Western Cape population
Background: Over the last three decades, severe periodontitis has steadily increased worldwide, creating a notable public health burden, especially in Africa. This complex, multifactorial disease often remains undiagnosed until irreversible periodontal damage has occurred. While microbial biofilm …

The role of local and peripheral antioxidants in the pathogenesis of chronic Periodontitis in smokers
Chronic periodontitis is one of the most common chronic inflammatory diseases of man and accounts for 60% of tooth loss. It is initiated by the subgingival biofilm and in susceptible individuals an abnormal inflammatory-immune response fails to resolve the inflammation and leads to destruction of …

The association between interleukin-1 gene polymorphism and periodontitis in adults in Africa: A systematic review
Background: Periodontitis, a multifactorial inflammatory disease affecting the periodontal tissue, is a global oral health concern. While bacterial infections initiate the problem, the body's inflammatory response impacts disease progression. Interleukin-1 (IL-1), a group of molecules known as …

Nanotechnology-based strategies for periodontitis: nanoparticles as drug delivery systems and antimicrobial agents against biofilm formation
Η περιοδοντίτιδα είναι μια χρόνια φλεγμονώδης νόσος που σχετίζεται με το βιοϋμένιο, η οποία χαρακτηρίζεται από προοδευτική απώλεια των στηρικτικών ιστών γύρω από τα δόντια, που ονομάζονται περιοδόντιο. Παρόλο που η συμβατική θεραπεία με αποτρύγωση και ριζικές αποξέσεις και η συμπληρωματική …
