Increased thymocyte-activating factor in human gingival fluid during gingival inflammation

Bacteroides gingivalis fimbriae stimulate production of thymocyte-activating factor by human gingival fibroblasts.

In a previous report (Y. Ohmori, S. Hanazawa, S. Amano, T. Miyoshi, K. Hirose, and S. Kitano, infect. Immun. 55:947-954, 1987), we showed that human gingival fibroblasts spontaneously produce thymocyte-activating factor (FTAF), which stimulates mitogen-induced thymocyte proliferation. In the present study, we examined the effect of Bacteroides gingivalis fimbriae on FTAF production by the cells...

Gingival Crevicular Fluid Biomarkers

Material and Method: Thirty patients were allocated into 3 groups: 10 were treated with scaling and root planing (SRP) only; 10 were treated with SRP and received adjunctive local metronidazole; 10 were treated with SRP and received adjunctive systemic metronidazole. Periodontal clinical parameters including plaque index, sulcus bleeding index, probing depth and relative attachment level were r...

IL-34 Expression in Gingival Fibroblasts, Gingival Crevicular Fluid and Gingival Tissue

Effect of 810nm Diode Laser on the Number of Periopathogen in Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF) of Fixed orthodontics Patients without Gingival Inflammation

Abstract Background and aim: One of the most common complications in the treatment of fixed orthodontics during treatment is periodontal problems. Different therapies such as mouthwashes, antibiotics and today laser therapy are used to treat periodontal problems in orthodontic patients. The aim of  this study, is that we evaluated the effect of the Diode laser on the number of four periopathog...

Secretory microRNA-29 in Gingival Crevicular Fluid during Canine Retraction

Introduction: Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) has been widely investigated as a potential source of biomarkers for an individual’s oral and general health information. Various molecules presented in GCF were reported as potential biomarkers for orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Recently, secr...
