Identification of epithelial auto-antigens associated with periodontal disease

Auto-Immune Addison\'s Disease Associated with Hyperprolactinemia

SUMMARY Three cases ofauto-immune addison's disease are reported in association with hyperprolactilinemia. All of them had galactorrhea. In three cases complete resolution of hyperprolactitinemia occurred with corticosteroid replacement. We suggest that hyperprolactinemia was due to cortisol deficiency operating directly or indirectly at the level of the pituitary.

Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in Patients with Periodontal Disease

Background & Aims: Metabolic syndrome is composed of interrelated cardiovascular and cardiometabolic risk factors. Moreover, recent researches have illustrated the association of systemic diseases and periodontitis. Thus, the early diagnosis of this syndrome, as a cardiometabolic risk factor, seems necessary. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients...

The identification of bacteria associated with periodontal disease and dental caries by enzymatic methods.

This brief review describes the potential usefulness of enzymatic reagents for the diagnosis of dental caries and periodontal disease. The cultural tests for salivary S. mutans levels should soon become commercially available in the U.S. and their success may preclude the immediate development of enzymatic diagnostic reagents for this group of organisms. However, in regards to periodontal disea...

Microbiome associated with peri-implantitis versus periodontal health in individuals with a history of periodontal disease

The microbiome of peri-implantitis sites and healthy dental sites was determined in subjects with a history of periodontitis. Ten systemically healthy non-smokers received periodontal treatment before implant placement. Plaque samples were collected from four sites of one implant with peri-implantitis (bone loss ≥2mm; PPD ≥6mm; BOP/suppuration; >1year loading) and from one dental site per quadr...
