The periodontal disease is a chronic, degenerative disease which is localised on the gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum and alveolar bone. The main etiological factor is oral biofilm with microorganisms. The search for the pathogens of periodontal diseases has been underway for more than 100 years, and continues up today. The currently recognized key Gram negative periodontopathogens inclu...

Periodontal disease is considered a risk factor in dental implant treatment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the periodontal conditions in patients requesting dental implant therapy. A total of 169 patients visiting Department of Oral and Maxillo-Facial Implantology at Tokyo Dental College Chiba Hospital were targeted. The following intraoral parameters were measured in each patien...

OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between periodontal treatment needs by elderly Brazilians and contextual as well as individual variables. METHODS A cross-sectional study was carried out to assess the need for clinical periodontal treatment, based on National Oral Health Survey (SB Brasil 2010) data on the presence of dental calculus, shallow (3-5 mm) and deep (≥ 6 mm) periodontal pockets...

BACKGROUND Arthocare forte medication is made up of different constituents and the advantages offered by this disposition have not been explored in the management of chronic periodontitis. AIM The aim was to assess the clinical response of bacterial plaque-induced generalized chronic periodontitis to arthocare medication, and the relationship of age and gender to the prevalence of chronic per...

AIM The aim of the present study was to measure the accuracy and reproducibility of probe forces in simulated assessments of periodontal pocket depth. The study included experienced and inexperienced examiners and used manual and pressure-sensitive probes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-one participants were divided into seven groups and asked to probe selected anterior and posterior sites with ...

The periodontal abscesses are localized purulent infections of periodontal tissue. The periodontal abscess is the third most frequent dental emergency and it is specialy prevalent among untreated periodontal patients and periodontal patients during maintenance. In this article, a patient with periodontal abscess due to poor oral hygiene was treated periodontically 3 days after the start of anti...

OBJECTIVES Ascertain the oral health status of the adult population in the Valencia region of Spain. STUDY DESIGN A cross sectional prevalence study was conducted on a sample of 1264 adults, comprising 733 individuals aged 35-44 years and 531 individuals aged 65-74 years. Data collection was carried out in 2006. In both age groups (younger adults and older adults), the clinical examinations w...

S Background: Periodontal disease is one of the two major dental diseases that affect human populations worldwide at high prevalence rates. Although it is primarily caused by bacterial plaque, its incidence and severity is modified by an individual’s inflammatory response, systemic health, and various local factors that predispose to plaque accumulation. The correlation between some systemic di...

BACKGROUND Periodontal disease is associated with increased mortality in the general population, however its prognostic significance in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is not known. We evaluated the joint effect of periodontal disease and CKD on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. METHODS Prospective observational study of 10,755 adult participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examin...

Periodontal disease is a world-wide prevalent chronic infection which is caused by acummulation of specific microrganisms or group of microrganisms in the dental plaque,resulting in progressive loss of the alveolar bone around the teeth with increased probing depth and recession or both.If left untreated it can lead to loosening and subsequent loss of teeth.It prevails in all groups,ethinicitie...
