BACKGROUND Periodontitis and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are important health issues; however, the association between periodontitis and CKD markers, especially in Korean adults, remains elusive. METHODS Data on 15,729 Korean adults were obtained from the Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys IV and V. The CKD markers included a decreased estimated glomerular filtration ...

In this article, we presented a 57-year-old woman with a history of snuff abuse for 16 years and developed squamous cell carcinonoma in the columellar skin. Primary cancer of nasal columella is extremely rare. This is a very agressive tumor and if not resected adequately it can easily spread to adjacent structures.. These tumors should be treated radically. The tumor was resected and defect was...

Periodontitis is a polymicrobial infection of tooth-supporting tissues. This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the associations between five target species and severe periodontitis in a Thai population. Using the CDC/AAP case definition, individuals diagnosed with no/mild and severe periodontitis were included. Quantitative analyses of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), Porphyromo...

OBJECTIVE Numerous studies have investigated the associations between herpesviruses and chronic periodontitis; however, the results remain controversial. To derive a more precise estimation, a meta-analysis on all available studies was performed to identify the association between herpesviruses and chronic periodontitis. METHODS A computerized literature search was conducted in December 2014 ...
