Periodontal disease is associated with endothelial dysfunction of the brachial artery and hemodynamic alterations of the common carotid artery. Periodontal therapy improves endothelial function. It is not known if it is able also to improve the hemodynamics of the carotid artery. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the efficacy of 2 different periodontal treatments on carotid hemodynam...

REZUMAT STUDIES ON THE EFFECT OF ENAMEL MATRIX DERIVATIVES ON EARLY WOUND HEALING. WHICH APPLICATIONS ARE EVIDENCE-BASED? Stefan-Ioan Stratul1, Darian Rusu1, Anton Sculean2 The goal of regenerative periodontal therapy is the reconstitution of the lost periodontal structures (i.e. the new formation of root cementum, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone). Results from basic research have pointe...

AIMS We investigated the effects of periodontal therapy on gene expression of peripheral blood monocytes. METHODS Fifteen patients with periodontitis gave blood samples at four time points: 1 week before periodontal treatment (#1), at treatment initiation (baseline, #2), 6-week (#3) and 10-week post-baseline (#4). At baseline and 10 weeks, periodontal status was recorded and subgingival plaqu...

Periodontitis is a common and often lifelong infectious disease that is defined by loss of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone (81). The disease proceeds with periods of exacerbation and remission. Some types of periodontitis arrest spontaneously within a relatively short period of time, while other disease types undergo a prolonged course of tissue destruction that may lead to excess tooth ...

Periodontal disease is considered a risk factor in dental implant treatment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the periodontal conditions in patients requesting dental implant therapy. A total of 169 patients visiting Department of Oral and Maxillo-Facial Implantology at Tokyo Dental College Chiba Hospital were targeted. The following intraoral parameters were measured in each patien...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to analyze how anti-infectious periodontal treatment affects C reactive protein (CRP) values in patients with type 1 diabetes, and correlate baseline CRP levels with periodontal disease severity. STUDY DESIGN A cohort of fifty three subjects with type 1 diabetes and moderate to severe periodontitis were recruited. Periodontal parameters were measured, ...

OBJECTIVE Periodontal pathogens in dental plaque are the main causative agents of periodontitis and peri-implantitis. Detection of the presence of such periodontal pathogens early would serve as a useful tool in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether the periodontal pathogen levels in saliva were correlated with the periodont...

Periodontal diseases are inflammatory of infectious origin. Their initial treatment is based on a mechanical debridement associated with chemical approach; through antiseptics and/or antibiotics. Currently, natural products essential oils increasingly used as new alternative therapy in the periodontal diseases, due to their innumerable medicinal properties.

Aim: This clinical case report demonstrates the successful management of a complex endodontic-periodontal iatrogenic lesion following a critical evaluation and decision-making process with interdisciplinary treatment strategies. Background: Defective dental restorations can affect the periodontal and endodontic health of the teeth. Case report: An endodontic-periodontal lesion that resulted fro...
