Abstract Background Our study aimed to assess the level of IL-1β, CXCL8, and TNF-α in peri-implant sulcular fluid (PISF) collected from patients with no clinical symptoms mucositis or peri-implantitis compare them cytokine concentration gingival crevicular (GCF) acquired healthy periodontium those varying severity periodontitis. Methods A total 189 subjects were included study, GCF/PISF samples...

The article demonstrates how chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond burs were used in a simple esthetic and cosmetic procedure to treat discolored anterior teeth. A patient who experienced discoloration after bleaching was treated with direct resin composite veneers. Excess restorative material close to the periodontium was removed with a CVD diamond bur attached to an ultrasonic handpiece. Th...

The interest taken in studying pathomorphological and pathophysiological mechanisms behind periodontal inflammation affecting children with undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia (UCTD) can be accounted for by the disease high prevalence, risk of its progression, as well morphological functional immaturity tissues low effectiveness available treatment options. study into matrix metallopro...

INTRODUCTION Aggressive periodontitis is characterized by a rapid rate of attachment loss and bone resorption. Regenerative therapy offers reconstruction of the periodontium; however, certain advanced cases with a questionable prognosis might remain a challenge. We report a successful intervention outcome of a challenging case in the aesthetic zone of a patient with aggressive periodontitis. ...

The current study aimed to investigate the alteration in serum lipid profile in patients with chronic periodontitits, And to correlate the serum levels of total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TGL), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) between periodontitis patients and healthy individuals. Total of 40 subjects in the age of 35-60 years were selected and divided into two...

Modern research confirms the role of inflammatory mediators in the pathomechanism of periodontal tissue destruction. The aim of the study was to determine concentrations of MMP-8 and IL-1β in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in patients with advanced chronic and aggressive periodontitis. The authors measured the concentrations of the above inflammatory mediators in gingival crevicular fluid of d...

More than 700 bacterial species are able to colonize the subgingival periodontal pocket of humans. Periodontitis is a multi-factorial chronic inflammatory disease of the periodontium with varying degrees of bone loss. Destruction of periodontium starts by colonization of gram-negative anaerobic microorganisms. Several methods have been used for identifying the involved species. The aim of this ...

Since the etiology of periodontitis in humans is not fully understood, genetic mouse models may pinpoint indispensable genes for optimal immunological protection of the periodontium against tissue destruction. This review describes the current knowledge of genes that are involved for a proper maintenance of a healthy periodontium in mice. Null mutations of genes required for leukocyte cell-cell...
