BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Inflammation plays a key role in atherosclerosis. The protective role of angiotensin 1-7 (Ang-(1-7)) in vascular pathologies suggested the therapeutic use of low MW, non-peptide Ang-(1-7) mimetics, such as AVE0991. The mechanisms underlying the vaso-protective effects of AVE0991, a Mas receptor agonist, remain to be explored. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH We investigated the ef...

Background The poor hygiene of peri-implant tissues causes inflammation at tissue-implant interface, which may impair the rehabilitation success. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of external hexagon and Morse taper implants on peri-implant health in patients wearing mandibular overdentures for 1 year. Materials and Methods A total of 46 implants were evaluated, 28 external ...

Dental crowns are artificial teeth that permanently attached to have been prepared repair part or all of the damaged tooth surface and replace toothloss. Making a crown must consider several factors, including being able maintain pro-tect existing surrounding tissues. This literature review isaimed describe effect use on periodontal tis-sue. A total 20 articles collected from various electronic...

Atherogenesis comprises three stages, including intimal thickening, plaque formation and destabilization and rupture of the plaque. Intimal thickening develops depending upon aging and is characterized by increased collagenous matrix. Plaque formation is characterized by an accumulation of intraand extracelluar lipids in intima, resulting in the advanced lesion with atheroma. Finally, advanced ...

BACKGROUND We previously showed that the burden of Chlamydia pneumoniae in carotid plaques was significantly associated with plaque interleukin (IL)-6, and serum IL-6 and C-reactive protein (CRP), suggesting that infected plaques contribute to systemic inflammatory markers in patients with stroke risk. Since lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA(2)) mediates inflammation in atheroscle...

Abstract Objectives Plaque-induced gingivitis is one of the most widely distributed periodontal disorder during childhood. The control pathogenic potential plaque associated with oral hygiene status at individual, group, and population levels. We hypothesize that regular application complex hygiene-prophylaxis could beneficially modulate salivary amino acids profile in children different stage ...

Dental plaque is a well known etiologic factor for gingivitis. Recently, herbal extracts are a matter of scientific interest to inhibit plaque accumulation on teeth. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of German Chamomile (GC) mouth wash on plaque and gingival indices. Twenty five gingivitis patients (15 female and 10 male, mean age 27±7.76 years) participated in this contr...

Gingival recession is commonly associated with plaque‐induced inflammation and calculus. A high frenal attachment is more important in gingival recession in the child‐patient. A healthy child‐patient with impeccable oral hygiene presented with localized gingival recession without plaque‐induced inflammation which led to the exploration of other possible etiologies. Multiple factors appeared to ...
