Periodontal disease is a chronic and irreversible disease that affects the supporting tissue of the teeth (gums, alveolar bone, cementum and periodontal ligament). The disease is often divided into two conditions: gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is inflammation of the gingiva, while periodontitis is inflammation of non-gingival tissue: periodontal ligament and alveolar bone (Harvey CE,...

An in vitro model of supragingival plaque associated with gingivitis was characterized by traditional culture techniques, comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing of isolates, and quantitative PCR (QPCR). Actinomyces naeslundii, Prevotella spp., and Porphyromonas gingivalis increased under conditions emulating gingivitis. Gram-negative species and total bacteria were dramatically underestimated by ...

Gingivitis is an inflammatory disease in gingiva without any loss of attachment caused by plaque. reversible, if not treated it can develop into periodontitis. Gingivitis-causing bacteria include Phorpyromonas gingivalis, acting as secondary plaque formation at the colonization stage attaching themselves to monolayers that have been formed primary bacteria.

In children periodontal disease presents itself as symptoms of systemic disease, but very seldom does it develop, as in adults, into cases that accompany serious damage to the alveolar bone. Most common are the cases of localized filth and eruptive gingivitis. The majority of these cases of gingivitis are localized in the interdental papilla and marginal gingiva and very few of them affect the ...

PURPOSE To compare the efficacy of an oscillating-rotating power toothbrush with a novel brush head incorporating angled CrissCross bristles (Oral-B Pro 7000 SmartSeries and Oral-B CrossAction brush head) versus a marketed sonic toothbrush (Colgate ProClinical A1500 with the Triple Clean brush head) in the reduction of gingivitis and plaque over a 6-week period. METHODS This was a single cent...
