AIM This article reviews the available studies assessing the association between chronic inflammatory periodontal diseases with atherosclerosis-induced diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and their complications, using standard evidence based criteria. METHODS This study is based on a literature search using Medline medical database covering the period from 2001 to April 2006 and applying spec...

Periodontal infection has emerged as useful tools to study the hypothesis that infection is a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. Periodontal infections are a leading culprit, with studies reporting associations between periodontal disease and CVD. The recent focus on the potential link between periodontal and cardiovascular disease (PD and CVD) is part of the larger renewed interest on t...

Pregnancy is a unique physiological state that affects almost all the organs, because of changes in the hormonal milieu meant to support the pregnancy. These changes, generally reversible after delivery, are sometimes not without adverse effects. Recent upsurge in the interest in periodontal disease in pregnancy is attributed to association between periodontitis and adverse pregnancy outcome. P...

The oral cavity appears as an open ecosystem, with a dynamic balance between the entrances of microorganisms, colonization modalities, and host defenses aimed to their removal. Gingival and Periodontal diseases represent a major concern both in dentistry and medicine. The oral biofilm formation and development, and the inside selection of specific microorganisms have been correlated with the mo...

statement of the problem periodontitis is a common infectious disease that can be affected by different factors.periodontal conditions can be influenced by systemic diseases and they also can act as risk factors for some systemic diseases. several studies have been carried out on the relationship between cardiovascular disease and periodontal disease. purpose the purpose of our study was to eva...

Periodontitis, an infectious disease caused by bacteria, brings about destructive changes leading to loss of bone and connective tissue attachment (Williams, 1990). Several oral bacteria are considered to be possible pathogens in periodontitis (Darveau et al., 1997). In particular, the black-pigmented, Gram-negative anaerobic rods Porphyromonas gingivalis and Tannerella forsythia have been impl...

This paper presents an efficient and innovative system for automated classification of periodontal diseases, The strength of our technique lies in the fact that it incorporates knowledge from the patients' clinical data, along with the features automatically extracted from the Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained microscopic images. Our system uses image processing techniques based on color dec...

Periodontal therapy has proven to be effective in the control and rehabilitation of periodontal diseases.1 Although initial therapy or the debrided phase is indicated for all types of periodontal diseases, it is not the only treatment that can or should be provided for patients suffering from moderate to advanced forms of periodontitis to achieve the appropriate goal of an environment that the ...
