Periodontal disease results from chronic bacterial infection caused by supragingival and subgingival plaque. Plaque is an acquired soft deposit that develops on the teeth, gums, and other structures in the oral cavity. The development and progression of periodontal diseases can be prevented by methods that control plaque formation. In addition, these measures can improve overall oral health and...

A bacterial infection that affects the periodontium in various ways is called periodontitis. Bacterial plaque triggers inflammatory response host, which damages host's tissue. In to microbial invasion, it now understood immune system uses a family of pattern-recognition receptors termed Toll-like as mechanism initiate an response. TLRs, or toll-like receptors, were first identified drosophila a...

Evidence from clinical research indicates that there is a significant relationship between microbial dental plaque and periodontal disease [1-3]. Epidemiologic data suggests the association of chronic gingivitis and bacterial plaque adhering to tooth surface [4-6]. Clinical and invivo studies have demonstrated the occurrence of metabolic events by the microbial dental plaque in the presence of ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate antibiotics effective for periodontopathic bacteria as chemotherapeutic agents for periodontal diseases. Antimicrobial activities of ten agents were evaluated by determinating minimal inhibitory concentrations against six periodontopathic bacterial species ( Bacteroides gingivalis, B. melaninogenicus ss intermedius, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Eikenella co...

OBJECTIVE Early childhood caries (ECC) has become a prevalent public health problem among Chinese preschool children. The bacterial microflora is considered to be an important factor in the formation and progress of dental caries. However, high-throughput and large-scale studies of the primary dentition are lacking. The present study aimed to compare oral microbial profiles between children wit...

Background: Anti-bacterial effect of Miswak on microorganism has already been proven in previous researches. The Dandasa is used by most women Saudi Arabia, India and Pakistan as a toothbrush for cleaning the teeth. Aim: This study was done comparison between improving gingival health, both anti-plaque action absence plaque directly proportional to health. Methods: A prospective cohort carried ...

Synthetic food colors are important ingredients in the industry. These synthetic colorants azo dyes, majorly acidic nature such as Allura red and Tartrazine. They present sweets, carbonated drinks, meat products, candies to attract consumers. This review article is an attempt explain adverse effects of dyes their association with oral cavities cardiovascular disorders. (azo dyes) have staining ...

Periodontitis is the most frequently diagnosed health problem in cats yet little is known about the bacterial species important for the disease. The objective of this study was to identify bacterial species associated with health, gingivitis or mild periodontitis (<25% attachment loss) in feline plaque. Knowledge of these species is a first step in understanding the potential for improving oral...

BACKGROUND Orthodontic appliances impede good dental plaque control by brushing. Antimicrobial mouth rinses were suggested to improve this performance. We therefore aimed to investigate the effects of combined mouthrinse containing chlorhexidine (CHX) and sodium fluoride (NaF) on clinical oral hygiene parameters,and plaque bacterial level. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this double-blind clinical st...
