BACKGROUND Evidence has suggested that periodontal disease is associated with an increased risk of various adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes. However, several large clinical randomized controlled trials failed to demonstrate periodontal therapy during pregnancy reduced the incidence of adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes. It has been suggested that the pre-conception period may be an optima...

AIMS To provide updated knowledge on the relationship between periodontal disease and diabetes from an oral health perspective. METHODS A review of the English-language literature was performed, gathering articles on the two diseases published over the past 10 years. RESULTS Both diseases result from the confluence of various triggering and modifying factors, and there are inter-individual ...

Early onset and more advanced periodontal disease has been reported for children with diabetes. We surveyed oral health knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors among adolescents with diabetes in order to inform potential intervention strategies. Study subjects were youth (ages 12-19 years) with type 1 diabetes (N = 90) participating in a cohort study investigating determinants of periodontal diseas...

the old wishes of people were to regenerate lost tissues of periodontium that this fact is achieved by gen and cell therapy .periodontal disease is a chronic inflammation around the tooth by microbes that causes destruction of supporting structure of tissue of tooth such as alveolar bone, cementum and periodontal ligament. for treatment of periodontal diseases we can use the biomaterials which ...

OBJECTIVE This study is designed to evaluate the frequency of periodontal disease in a group of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and how this relates with diabetes metabolic control, duration of diabetes, and presence of diabetic complications. METHODS A comparison was made of periodontal parameters (plaque index, bleeding index, pocket depth and attachment loss) in a group of diabetic ...

Periodontal diseases are infections associated with specific pathogenic microorganisms and host response alterations. The variations in development and progression of periodontitis between individuals is attributed to non-oral risk factors apart from differences in individual host responses and adaptation. one of the important non-oral risk factors which contributes to the development and progr...

A review of the literature on the relationship between osteoporosis and periodontal disease is presented. Osteoporosis, a metabolic disease, and periodontal disease, which is infectious, are both major health problems with multifactorial etiologies. There is histologic and radiographic evidence from animals and humans that osteoporosis does affect alveolar bone by decreasing bone mass and trabe...

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...
