Aims: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of endodontic-periodontal lesions (EPLs) and EPL grades 1–3 without root damage in patients with periodontitis according 2017 World Workshop on Classification Periodontal Peri-Implant Diseases.
 Methods: included 500 panoramic radiographs from Faculty Dentistry at University İstanbul Medipol. Each radiograph was evaluated by a calibrated i...

Periodontal health is influenced by a number of factors such as oral hygiene, genetic and epigenetic factors, systemic health, and nutrition. Many studies have observed that a balanced diet has an essential role in maintaining periodontal health. Additionally, the influences of nutritional supplements and dietary components have been known to affect healing after periodontal surgery. Studies ha...

Aggressive periodontitis is a rare, severe and rapidly progressing periodontal disease. Early diagnosis is of utmost importance for establishing treatment in order to stop periodontal destruction and prevent tooth loss. The aim of this study is to describe the occurrence of aggressive periodontitis in patients at a Dental School in Brazil by means of a cross-sectional study. First, records from...

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a major periodontal pathogen that contains a variety of virulence factors. The antibody titer to P. gingivalis GroEL, a homologue of HSP60, is significantly higher in periodontitis patients than in healthy control subjects, suggesting that P. gingivalis GroEL is a potential stimulator of periodontal disease. However, the specific role of GroEL in periodontal disease ...

Periodontal disease is an inflammatory condition that alters the periodontium, resulting in destruction of alveolar bone; without treatment may lead to tooth loss. Dental implants are alternative for substitution naturally lost teeth as they have high success rates; however, some factors related its failure. Peri-implantitis (PI) a pathological affects tissues surrounding dental and has been re...

The native periodontium includes cementum, a functionally oriented periodontal ligament, alveolar bone and gingiva. Pathologic and/or traumatic events may lead to the loss or damage of this anatomical structure. Since the 1970s, a number of procedures have been investigated in an attempt to restore such lost tissues. Numerous clinical trials have shown positive outcomes for various reconstructi...

Periodontal disease is a bacteria-induced chronic inflammatory disease affecting the soft and hard supporting structures encompassing the teeth. When left untreated, the ultimate outcome is alveolar bone loss and exfoliation of the involved teeth. Traditional periodontal diagnostic methods include assessment of clinical parameters and radiographs. Though efficient, these conventional techniques...
