Periodontal disease may lead to tooth and tissue loss that can result in esthetic problems. Combined periodontal/prosthodontic treatment for patients with advanced disease is well documented. This case report illustrates a method of treatment for an advanced tissue loss in an esthetic area using a removable heat-polymerized polymethylmethacrylate resin gingival prosthesis/ mask.

Current evidence suggests that periodontal disease may be associated with systemic diseases. This paper reviewed the published data about the relationship between periodontal disease and cardiovascular diseases, adverse pregnancy outcomes, diabetes and respiratory diseases, focusing on studies conducted in the Brazilian population. Only a few studies were found in the literature focusing on Bra...

Epidemiologic studies indicate that gingivitis of varying severity is nearly universal in children and adolescents.1-19 These studies also indicate that the prevalence of destructive forms of periodontal disease is lower in young individuals than in adults. Epidemiologic surveys in young individuals have been performed in many parts of the world and among individuals with a widely varied backgr...

Introduction: An acquired diastema may be a warning sign signaling advanced periodontitis. Gingival inflammation, reduced bony support, and tooth mobility contribute to the drifting of teeth, condition called pathologic migration, formed gap or space between two teeth more. Identification causative factors involved in migration is crucial for successful treatment. Case Management: 1 - A 38-year...

The determination of biomarkers in saliva is becoming an important part of laboratory diagnostics and the prediction of not only periodontal, but also other tissue and organ diseases. Biomarkers in saliva (e.g., enzymes, protein markers, or oxidative stress markers) can be used for activity determination and for periodontal disease prognosis. Saliva also contains many markers which can predict ...

Probiotics provide us an alternative way to combat diseases and has been introduced for prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases. This review was initiated to explore whether the use of probiotics can influence the periodontal microbiota and periodontal health. The role of probiotics on periodontal disease was reviewed to analyse the clinical effects of oral probiotics on periodontal di...

Periodontal diseases are characterized by alveolar bone absorption and destruction of periodontal ligament and cementum and are the main causes of tooth loss in adults. This series of diseases is harmful to both human oral and body health. Although periodontitis is under control because of the implementation of conventional treatment modalities, regenerating damaged periodontal tissues remains ...
