Inflammation and bone loss in periodontal disease.
Inflammation and bone loss are hallmarks of periodontal disease (PD). The question is how the former leads to the latter. Accumulated evidence demonstrates that PD involves bacterially derived factors and antigens that stimulate a local inflammatory reaction and activation of the innate immune system. Proinflammatory molecules and cytokine networks play essential roles in this process. Interleu...
متن کاملPeriodontal Disease: Linking the Primary Inflammation to Bone Loss
Periodontal disease (PD), or periodontitis, is defined as a bacterially induced disease of the tooth-supporting (periodontal) tissues. It is characterized by inflammation and bone loss; therefore understanding how they are linked would help to address the most efficacious therapeutic approach. Bacterial infection is the primary etiology but is not sufficient to induce the disease initiation or ...
متن کاملTobacco smoking and vertical periodontal bone loss.
Cigarette smoking is associated with increased prevalence and severity of destructive periodontal disease in terms of periodontal pocketing, periodontal bone loss, and tooth loss. The smoking destructive effect on periodontal bone may be of even "horizontal" and vertical "angular" pattern. The vertical bone loss or the "vertical defect" is a sign of progressive periodontal breakdown that involv...
متن کاملMatrix Metalloproteinases as Regulators of Periodontal Inflammation
Periodontitis are infectious diseases characterized by immune-mediated destruction of periodontal supporting tissues and tooth loss. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are key proteases involved in destructive periodontal diseases. The study and interest in MMP has been fuelled by emerging evidence demonstrating the broad spectrum of molecules that can be cleaved by them and the myriad of biologi...
متن کاملThe effects of local and systemic Atorvastatin on inflammation and alveolar bone loss in experimental periodontitis in rats
Objectives The frst cause of tooth loss in developed countries is periodontitis and mostly occurs in people over 40 years old.Atorvastatin is a statin drug class, which has a revolutionary impact on the treatment of high cholesterol and also stimulates bone morphogenic protein which has osteogenic potential. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of local and systemic Atorvastatin in...
