objectives : stem cell (sc) therapy is a promising technique for tissue regeneration. this study aimed to compare the viability and proliferation ability of periodontal ligament stem cells (pdlscs) isolated from the periodontium of healthy and periodontitis-affected teeth to obtain an autologous, easily accessible source of scs for tissue regeneration in periodontitis patients. materials and me...

THE AIM OF THE STUDY the study analyzed he relationship between blood serum lipids and periodontal condition, as well as the relationship between the left ventricular mass index and the condition of periodontium. The study included 261 subjects--140 women and 121 men. Mean age of the subjects was 38 years. The condition of periodontal tissues during the study was evaluated with the help of the ...

INTRODUCTION The aim of the study was to identify the periodontal status of Szczecin citizens using the Community Periodontal Index (CPI), and to compare the results with those from selected European and world countries using the World Health Organization (WHO) database. MATERIAL AND METHODS A sample of 250 patients was randomly selected using two-stage stratified sampling among people living...

Previous surveys have shown that subgingival restoration margins generally lead to significant inflammation of the marginal periodontium 6, 13, 16, 17 and, inter alai, trauma of the “biological width”. This term is defined as the area of the coronal periodontium of the limbus aleovaris, which consists of the connective tissue and epithelial attachment as well as the gingival sulcus (Figure 1a)....

The measurement of specific salivary enzyme activity may be valuable in the diagnosis of human periodontal disease. Alkaline phosphatase has often been measured as possible indicators of gingival inflammation and bone metabolism. It has been found that untreated adult periodontitis patients exhibited higher level of alkaline phosphatase in whole saliva than did healthy control. Alkaline phospha...
