Nitric oxide (NO) is a unique molecule for biological organisms, and has also very important effects on various pathologic and physiologic mechanisms. Many cell types can generate NO during different pathological and physiologic conditions. Recently, many authors have been reported the connections between NO and inflammatory diseases. Periodontal pathologies are characterized with specific peri...

Association between certain systemic diseases and ABO blood group is a well known fact. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is any association between periodontal disease and ABO blood groups. A cross sectional study was carried-out on 200 subjects who were randomly selected from individuals referred for periodontal treatment. The study subjects were segregated into healthy...

Objectives: This study investigated the correlation between Tannerella forsythia, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans at dual sites in concurrent endodontic-periodontal diseases. Material and methods: Samples were collected from endodontium and periodontium in cases of concurrent endodontic-periodontal diseases from thirty participants. T...

Background Periodontal disease has been recognised as a major global public health problem because of its prevalence, economic impact and health consequences. Nevertheless, its burden to the health care system is often largely neglected. Identification of non-communicable diseases which are associated with periodontal disease and understanding of the strengths of the proposed associations is im...

While contemporary periodontics has witnessed the continued emergence of sophisticated techniques to resolve esthetic concerns through various periodontal procedures, frequently the early stages of periodontal diseases are best treated with non-surgical periodontal therapy. This short communication presents a case of reactive positioning of pathologically migrated anterior tooth following non-s...

The periodontal diseases, as the name is intended to imply, are a group of diseases which affect the tissues around the teeth, the gingiva or gum, the alveolar bone, the fibrous joint or periodontal membrane, and the cementum. It is important to note that this is a motley collection of tissues, one epidermal, the gingiva, and three mesodermal, two of which, the alveolar bone and the cementum, a...

Aims: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of endodontic-periodontal lesions (EPLs) and EPL grades 1–3 without root damage in patients with periodontitis according 2017 World Workshop on Classification Periodontal Peri-Implant Diseases.
 Methods: included 500 panoramic radiographs from Faculty Dentistry at University İstanbul Medipol. Each radiograph was evaluated by a calibrated i...

The periodontal disease is conformed by a group of illnesses affecting the gums and dental support structures. They are caused by certain bacteria found in the bacterial plaque. These bacteria are essential to the onset of illness; however, there are predisposing factors in both the host and the microorganisms that will have an effect on the pathogenesis of the illness. Periodontopathogenic bac...

atherosclerosis is the most common cause of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. various risk factors have been identified for atherosclerosis. recently, bacterial and viral organisms, which are involved in chronic inflammatory processes, have been also implicated in atherosclerosis development. individuals with a prior history of periodontal diseases and/or tooth loss are considered to be...
