Introduction: Periodontal disease, an inflamma- tory and infectious disease in adults and anemia associated with chronic infection, is one of the most common types of anemia. Considering the similarity of pathogens causing periodontal dis‌ease and anemia, this study aims to investigate the correlation between hematologic para‌meters associated with anemia and modera‌te chronic periodontitis. &...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of regenerative periodontal therapy on clinical parameters and interleukin-8 (IL-8), IL-17 and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of subjects with chronic periodontitis (CP). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen patients received demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) su...

AIM Human periodontitis is associated with overactivation of complement, which is triggered by different mechanisms converging on C3, the central hub of the system. We assessed whether the C3 inhibitor Cp40 inhibits naturally occurring periodontitis in non-human primates (NHPs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Non-human primates with chronic periodontitis were intra-gingivally injected with Cp40 either...

BACKGROUND Inflammatory periodontal diseases are found in many dentate individuals, but therapists and researchers who assess disease activity have had to rely on external clinical signs and symptoms to ascertain the health of the subgingival periodontal tissues. However, by using an endoscope in the subgingival environment, the therapist can see the relationship of subgingival tooth-borne accr...

The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an innovative, minimally invasive, flapless corticotomy procedure in orthodontics. The STROBE guidelines were followed. Ten patients with severe dental crowding and a class I molar relationship were selected to receive orthodontic treatment with clear aligners and corticotomy-facilitated orthodontics. The mean age of these p...

objective: whole-mouth examination is generally considered as a gold standard for exact periodontal disease assessment. partial mouth examination also has sometimes been used for this purpose, but its efficacy has been questioned. with regard to symmetric destruction hypothesis of periodontal disease, the present study investigated the efficacy of partial- mouth examination as an alternative fo...

The purpose of the study was to evaluate oral hygiene and periodontal indices in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Materials methods. 258 aged 6-14 years were examined, including 129 mellitus without concomitant somatic diseases. All patients divided into four subgroups according presence gingivitis. We determined index-simplified (according Green, Vermillion, 1964), papillary-marginal-al...
