BACKGROUND: Oral infections associate statistically with cancer. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that certain periodontal microorganisms might specifically link to malignancies in general and set out investigate this our ongoing cohort study. METHODS: A sample of 99 clinically examined patients from 1676 subjects was used the associations between harboring Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A.a)...

Gingival and periodontal diseases in their various forms have affected human since the dawn of history. The earliest historical records dealing with medical topics revealed an awareness of periodontal diseases and need for treatment.1 The diagnosis of periodontal diseases which involve the soft and hard tissue destruction should be made systematically and should include both clinical and radiog...

objective: leukocyte adhesion deficiency(lad) is a scarce, autosomal recessive inherited disorder . lad-i which is the most common type occurs due to mutations on the cd18 gene. this mutation leads to absence or severe reduction of leukocyte cell surface expression of ß2 integrin molecules which are necessary for the adhesion of the leukocytes to the endothelial cells, transendothelial migratio...

Periodontal disease, characterized by alveolar bone loss, is a prevalent oral health condition that requires early detection and management to prevent further progression. This paper proposes novel approach for loss localization in dental X-ray images using the YOLOv5 object algorithm. We annotated dataset of radiographs with regions fine-tuned model on this dataset. Our achieved high accuracy ...

Abstract Periodontal diseases are chronic of oral cavity comprising inflammatory conditions which effect the supporting structures dentition. It is a multifactorial disease also known to be affected by genetic and environmental factors. However, some clinical parameters such as probing depth, attachment level, plaque index, bleeding on radiographic assessment alveolar bone assess severity disea...
