Introduction: In the last two decades, studies have shown that periodontal disease affects a wide range of human organs. These diseases affect body organs through various mechanisms. This study was performed in order to analyze the association between periodontal disease and coronary artery diseases among patients attending SH.M.KH hospital in Ilam during 2015.Materials and Method: In the prese...

Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, affects millions of Americans. The current method of detecting periodontal disease is painful, invasive, and inaccurate. As an alternative to manual probing, the ultrasonographic periodontal probe is being developed to use RF ultrasound waveforms to measure periodontal pocket depth, which is the main measure of periodontal disease. The methods...

objective: administration of amoxicillin and metronidazole along with scaling and root planning (srp) is an effective adjunctive therapy for chronic periodontitis. studies have shown that administration of azithromycin is also effective for treatment of chronic periodontitis. this study aimed to compare the effect of short-term and long-term azithromycin regimen with amoxicillin and metronidazo...

systemic antibiotics and locally applied antimicrobial agents have been suggested to enhance clinical parameters. patients exhibiting aggressive periodontitis in particular benefit from adjunctive antibiotic therapy. the purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of local antibiotic therapy with metronidazole adjunctively to scaling and root planning (srp) in the treatment of aggr...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the caries rate and periodontal status in a sample of pregnant women with HIV+ infections from Puerto Rico. METHODS A pilot study was conducted on a cross sectional convenience sample of 25 pregnant women with HIV+ infections from Puerto Rico who visit the CEMI clinic (Centro de Estudios Materno Infantil) at the University of Puerto Rico. The ...

The purpose of this paper is (1) to investigate the similarity of the amount, distribution, and severity of periodontal disease of the within-patient experimental units, (2) to estimate the relative efficiencies of split-mouth designs when compared to whole-mouth designs, and (3) to discuss how stratification on initial pocket depth can result in large differences in the power of the test-stati...

the aim of the present study was to examine the periodontal condition of an adult population in three isolated regions in greece and to determine the association of periodontal disease with several demographic, behavioral and environmental factors.the study population consisted of 640 individuals, aged 20 to 69 years from three isolated regions. the following indices were assessed: pocket depth...
