Introduction: The purpose of this preliminary study was to evaluate the periodontal condition of intruded molars in various phases of treatments. Methods: 30 patients with at least one overerupted upper first molar were selected. Upper molar bands with brackets were cemented. Two miniscrews were placed in the mesiopalatal and mesiobuccal aspect of the aforementioned teeth. A titanium molybdenum...

Background. Since 2000, studies, experiments, and clinical observations revealed high prevalence of periodontal diseases among children and adolescents. Therefore, this paper was designed to provide an update for dental practitioners on epidemiology, microbiology, pathology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal diseases in children and adolescents. Methods. This paper reviews the...

Periodontal regeneration represents the ultimate goal of periodontal therapy. The current regenerative techniques have limited success rates especially in advanced periodontal defects. Currently the research is focused on novel cell-based approaches for periodontal regeneration to overcome the limitations of existing treatment. The human clinical trial on stem cells based periodontal regenerati...

Objective: Periodontitis and atherosclerosis diseases are chronic inflammatory disorders which are highly prevalent in populations. Nonsurgical periodontal intervention belongs to the initial therapy strategy to periodontal diseases. Periodontal pathogen can enter into blood stream through the ulceration epithelial resulting in bacteraemia when periodontitis is severe. The objective is to inves...

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic non-transmittable disease and, alongside periodontal disease, another but with infectious and inflammatory etiology, that have increasing prevalence. The link between the two comorbidities bidirectional, common aspects such state, altered immune response healing process. This alimented, also, by oxidative stress, an element can initiate proinflammatory pathwa...

Periodontal infection has emerged as useful tools to study the hypothesis that infection is a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. Periodontal infections are a leading culprit, with studies reporting associations between periodontal disease and CVD. The recent focus on the potential link between periodontal and cardiovascular disease (PD and CVD) is part of the larger renewed interest on t...

background: the purpose of this study was to determine the salivary levels of alkaline phosphatase (alp) and acid phosphatase (acp) activities in patients with periodontal disease and to evaluate the use of these enzymes as biochemical markers for periodontal tissue damage. materials and methods: in this prospective analytical study, we examined the activities of salivary alp and acp in patient...

BACKGROUND Glycaemic control is a key issue in the care of people with diabetes mellitus (DM). Periodontal disease is the inflammation and destruction of the underlying supporting tissues of the teeth. Some studies have suggested a bidirectional relationship between glycaemic control and periodontal disease. This review updates the previous version published in 2010. OBJECTIVES The objective ...

AIMS: Periodontitis is a multifactorial, chronic inflammatory disease that can cause irreversible damage to the supporting tissues surrounding teeth and consequently tooth loss if left untreated, has been listed as sixth major complication of diabetic patients. The aim our study was evaluate knowledge levels attitudes internists about relationship between periodontal diabetes. METHODS: In study...

Background: There is a sound pathophysiological framework for addressing oral health issues in general healthcare given the prevalence of diseases and their link to diabetes. However, many individuals with diabetes are unaware between disease condition, as well fact that they have higher chance experiencing variety difficulties health. The goal this research was assess knowledge about complicat...
