Biological plaque control: novel therapeutic approach to periodontal disease.
Despite its important role in the control of periodontal disease, mechanical plaque control is not properly practiced by most individuals. Therefore, adjunctive chemical plaque control using chlorhexidine and antibiotics has also been suggested as an additional therapeutic strategy to augment mechanical plaque control. However, the additional effects of adjunctive antibiotic therapy are small, ...
متن کاملLymphocyte blastogenesis to plaque antigens in human periodontal disease
Lymphocyte transformation in response to dental plaque antigens has been used to determine the association between cellular immune responses and the periodontal status in man. An in vitro system for lymphocyte transformation was used. Triplicate microcultures of peripheral blood lymphocytes were stimulated with four different concentrations of V. aicalescens, B. melaninogenicus, F. nucleatum, A...
متن کاملPeriodontal disease and atherosclerosis: from dental to arterial plaque.
The conventional risk factors for atherosclerosis are well understood, but they can account for only about 50% to 70% of atherosclerotic events in the general population. Many other putative risk factors for atherosclerosis have been proposed, including traits related to obesity, inflammation, and infection. Periodontal disease is a candidate risk factor that shares many of these related traits...
متن کاملRelationship Between Periodontal Disease, Tooth Loss, and Carotid Artery Plaque
Background and Purpose—Chronic infections, including periodontal infections, may predispose to cardiovascular disease. The present study investigates the relationship of periodontal disease and tooth loss with subclinical atherosclerosis. Methods—We enrolled 711 subjects with a mean age of 6669 years and no history of stroke or myocardial infarction in the Oral Infections and Vascular Disease E...
متن کاملLymphocyte blastogenesis to plaque antigens in human periodontal disease. I. Populations of varying severity of disease.
This study undertook to correlate lymphocyte transformation to human dental plaque antigens with clinical estimates of periodontal disease. Forty-eight patients with periodontal conditions ranging from normal gingivae to severe periodontitis were examined clinically. Oral cleanliness was determined by the Plaque Index System (Sflness & Loe 1964) and gingival health was assessed using the criter...
