Halitosis is an oral malodor condition in the cavity that comes from breakdown of protein by anaerobic gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Some bacteria are often found cases halitosis Solobacterium moorei, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Prevotella intermedia, Treponema denticola, dan Streptococcus mutans. Medicinal plants to treat various disease...

Patients with deep periodontal pockets were treated with either Vector System (TG) or manual instruments (CG). Clinical assessments by supragingival plaque (PL+), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and subgingival plaque collection for microbiological analysis were made prior to and after treatment. Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reac...

AIM The present investigation aimed to analyse clinical and microbiological effects of systemic administration of metronidazole and amoxicillin combined with the One-Stage-Full-Mouth-Disinfection protocol (OSFMD) in generalized aggressive periodontitis patients (G-AgP). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-nine systemically healthy patients with G-AgP were consecutively included. The test group (n = ...

Structural deficiencies and functional abnormalities of heart valves represent an important cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and a number of diseases, such as aortic stenosis, have been recently associated with infectious agents. This study aimed to analyze oral bacteria in dental plaque, saliva, and cardiac valves of patients with cardiovascular disease. Samples of supragingiva...

A previous longitudinal study about using microbiome as a caries indicator has successfully predicted early childhood (ECC) in healthy individuals, but there is no evidence to verify the composition of core microbiota and its pathogenicity vitro vivo. Biofilm acidogenicity, S. mutans count, biofilm were estimated by pH evaluation, colony-forming unit, quantitative PCR, respectively. Extracellul...

The ability to penetrate tissue is an important virulence factor for pathogenic spirochetes. Previous studies have recognized the role of motility in allowing pathogenic spirochetes to invade tissues and migrate to sites favorable for bacterial proliferation. However, the nature of the movements, whether they are random or controlled by chemotaxis systems, has yet to be established. In this stu...

Archaea have been detected in several ecological niches of the human body such as the large intestine, skin, vagina as well as the oral cavity. At present, archaea are recognized as nonpathogenic microorganisms. However, some data indicate that they may be involved in the etiopathogenesis of several diseases, including intestinal diseases as well as oral diseases: periodontitis, peri-implantiti...

OBJECTIVES The presence of periodontal pathogens in the oral cavity may impact implant survival. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of Campylobacter rectus, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Prevotella intermedia, Tannerella forsythia, Treponema denticola, Eikenella corrodens and Parvimonas micra in a specific elderly population with a history...

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)...

OBJECTIVES Cri du chat syndrome is a genetic alteration associated with some oral pathologies. However, it has not been described previously any clinical relationship between the periodontal disease and the syndrome. The purpose of this comparative study was to compare periodontopathogenic flora in a group with Cri du chat syndrome and another without the síndrome, to assess a potential microbi...
