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 ...

The role of bacterial plaque in the etiology of periodontal disease has been extensively documented. The contribution of dental plaque to the etiology of gingival and periodontal desease is wellestablished. The increased plaque levels resulting due to inadequate plaque control, in turn, result in an evolution of a more pathogenic microflora. This transition in microflora composition induces a w...

UNLABELLED Several studies have highlighted the role of vascular (18)F-NaF uptake as a marker of ongoing calcium deposition. However, accumulation of (18)F-NaF is often inconsistent with localization of arterial plaque. Calcification activity and thus (18)F-NaF uptake might prevail in the earlier plaque stages. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated (18)F-NaF uptake in plaque of 3 different dens...

Plaque is a soft, colorless deposit containing bacteria that adheres to the surface of teeth and surrounds gingiva other hard surfaces in oral cavity. A disclosing agent selective dye can detect presence dental plaque by changing color so it contrasts with tooth surface. Henna has many properties produce staining. Lawsone main ingredient henna plant. high affinity for binding proteins causing T...

The aim of this randomized, double-blind clinical trial was to evaluate the effect of the Paradontax dentifrice on the reduction of plaque and gingivitis. Subjects were randomly allocated into either the test group (n = 15, Paradontax) or the control group (n = 15, standard dentifrice with fluoride). Plaque levels were measured using the Turesky modification of the Quigley & Hein Plaque Index (...

This article briefly discusses the antibacterial action ofcetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and its efficacy in the removal of bacterial plaque as an adjunct to the mechanical cleaning of tooth surfaces. It reviews new studies on the effectiveness of mouthwash formulations containing CPC against two common oral bacteria species and in disrupting plaque biofilms. Finally, this article reviews three...

OBJECTIVES Multiple conservative therapies for the treatment of Peyronie's disease have been offered with variable and poor response rates. Calcium channel blockers have been shown in vitro and in vivo to inhibit secretion and synthesis of extracellular matrix, including collagen, glycosaminoglycans, and fibronectin, as well as causing increased collagenase and anti transforming growth factor-b...

Increased plaque vascularization is causatively associated with the progression of unstable atherosclerotic vessel disease. We investigated the safety and efficacy of heat-generating radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in reducing the number of vessels in the plaque and adventitia and its effect on plaque size and composition. To this end, New Zealand White rabbits were fed a cholesterol-enriched die...

Periodontal disease results from chronic bacterial infection caused by supragingival and subgingival plaque. Plaque is an acquired soft deposit that develops on the teeth, gums, and other structures in the oral cavity. The development and progression of periodontal diseases can be prevented by methods that control plaque formation. In addition, these measures can improve overall oral health and...

The current study describes the incidence and phenotype of plaque rupture complications in murine vein grafts. Since matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are highly involved in atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability and plaque rupture, we hypothesized that this model can be validated by overexpression of the MMP inhibitor TIMP-1. First we studied 47 vein grafts in hypercholesterolemic ApoE3*Leiden mi...
