Correlation between salivary biomarkers and plaque-induced gingivitis exacerbated by pregnancy

Sulphur by-product: the relationship between volatile sulphur compounds and dental plaque-induced gingivitis.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between volatile sulphur compounds (VSC) and gingival health status, and to monitor the changes in VSC in early dental plaque-induced gingivitis. Using an experimental gingivitis model, twelve subjects between 19 and 28 years old, with a healthy gingival status, refrained from brushing and flossing one randomly selected half of the mand...

Interproximal Gingivitis and Plaque Reduction

Objective: The study was conducted to compare the performance of three interdental products to dental floss in the control and removal of plaque, and in the reduction of gingivitis. • Methodology: One-hundred and twenty subjects were screened for the presence of interproximal sites of a size suitable for a GUM® Go-Betweens® cleaner, and for being in compliance with inclusion and exclusion crite...

The Correlation between Cigarette Smoking and Salivary Flow Rate

Background and aim: Side effects of cigarette smoking are among the major concerns. These complications can adversely affect the oral environment. Since reduced salivary flow rate increases the incidence of tooth decay and other dental and oral problems, the present research aimed to investigate the relationship between cigarette smoking and salivary flow rate. Materials and Methods: In this h...

Evaluation of Co-Q10 anti-gingivitis effect on plaque induced gingivitis: A randomized controlled clinical trial

BACKGROUND Deficiency of Co-Q10 has been found to be responsible for periodontal destruction; therefore, this study was undertaken to evaluate the anti-gingivitis effect of Co-Q10 on plaque induced gingivitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty subjects with plaque induced gingivitis were enrolled in a split mouth randomized controlled trial. For each subject, scaling was randomly performed for any...
