NTRODUCTION With the advancement in the frequency of use of dental implants for rehabilitation, there has been simultaneous increase in the capability of the clinicians in relation to the effective restoration of the dentition of the patients. From time to time, various dental implant systems have been introduced from time to time for increasing the prognosis and outcome of dental implant proce...

CONTEXT Periodontitis is the most common lytic disease of bone and is recognized as a common complication of diabetes. Lipid peroxidation (LPO) is increased in diabetes and may be related to modulation of the inflammatory response. LPO levels in patients with diabetes and periodontal disease have not been evaluated. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of LPO and its cor...

Smoking is detrimental to periodontal tissues, and periodontal destruction is greater among smokers. Paradoxically, smokers seem to have less gingival bleeding than never-smokers with comparable supragingival plaque. There is scarce information about the impact of smoking on gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) volume. This single-arm study clinical trial assessed the effect of smoking on GCF volume...

Background and Aim: Increased levels of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) and RANKL/OPG (osteoprotegerin) ratio in untreated periodontitis have been presented. However, current knowledge of periodontal treatment on osteoimmunological results is scarce. This study, aims to determine the RANKL, OPG, interleukin-1 beta (β), interleukin-10 levels in gingival crevicular flu...

AIM Inflammatory periodontal disease is widespread in dogs. This study evaluated site-specific changes in the canine gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) proteome during longitudinal progression from very mild gingivitis to mild periodontitis. Periodontitis diagnosis in dogs requires general anaesthesia with associated risks and costs; our ultimate aim was to develop a periodontitis diagnostic for a...

OBJECTIVES To review the current understanding of the biomarkers and enzymes associated with different forms peri-implant diseases and how their level changes influence the pathogenesis of the inflammatory diseases around dental implants. MATERIAL AND METHODS An electronic search in two different databases was performed including MEDLINE (PubMed) and EMBASE between 1996 to 2016. Human studies...
