Abstract Background Iron deficiency anemia and dental caries are among the most prevalent diseases in some developing countries. However, few studies have been conducted to assess association between (IDA) early childhood (ECC). Objectives The aim of study was IDA ECC. Methods 40 children with proved iron (using profile panel done initially) another healthy age sex-matched were examined by one ...

Chlamydia pneumoniae has been associated to atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. The aim of our study was to characterize, for the first time, a C. pneumoniae strain isolated from the gingival crevicular fluid of a patient with chronic periodontitis, described as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. C. pneumoniae isolate was characterized and compared to the respiratory AR-39 strain b...

Background: Gingival recession is defined asThe displacement of soft tissue margin apical to CEJ with exposure root surface. Factors such as abnormal tooth alignment in the arch, fenestration, dehiscence, faulty brushing, periodontal diseases etc. are few causes gingival recession. The aim present study was compare effectiveness minimally invasive Vestibular Incision Subperiosteal Tunnel Access...

Background: Gingival recession is a condition where the root surface of tooth exposed due to migration gingival margin and junctional epithelium in an apical direction. The problem that patients often complain about aesthetic problem, especially if occurs upper anterior teeth. In addition, can also cause dentine hypersensitivity exposure was previously covered by gingiva. One treatment options ...

Idiopathic gingival enlargement is a type of gingival fibromatosis characterized by progressive overgrowth of the gingival tissues.This case report presented the clinical features of a typical idiopathic gingival enlargement which was treated with external bevel gingivactomy. The patient presented with generalized diffuse gingival enlargement involving the maxillary and mandibular arches extend...

This work presents a case report of a generalized form of hereditary gin­ gival fibromatosis with hemophilia B as an accompanying disease. In the family of proband, consisting of 28 members, fibromatosis was present in 9 (4 males and 5 females). The pedigree analysis confirmed that gingival fibro­ matosis was transmited through three generations as an autosomal dominant trait. Neither proband, ...

Purpose: To evaluate the relevance of the probe test in classifying the gingival biotype and to determine if differences exist between maxillary and mandibular gingival biotypes in the same patient. Materials and Methods: 53 subjects were included. The gingival thickness was evaluated as thick or thin. This evaluation was based on the transparency of the periodontal probe through the gingival m...

STUDY OBJECTIVE In 2008 a new division of periodontal diseases based on the concept of biofilm-gingival interface (BGI), was presented. The aim of this study was to assess whether the proposed BGI categories could be useful in diagnosing patients with generalized forms of both aggressive (gAP) and chronic (gCP) periodontitis. DESIGN AND KEY METHODS: The study group consisted of 40 individuals (...
