History of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) increases risk of periodontal diseases. A pro-inflammatory condition noted in periodontitis is considered a trigger for RA. Thus, periodontal treatment aimed at at...
The objective of this research was to assess the effect of periodontal therapy on rheumatoid factor, Disease Activity Score-28, anti-citrullinated protein antibody, and C-reactive protein levels in pa...
The sample consisted of 28 patients with CP and RA. The study was designed to be a double-blind, randomised controlled clinical study. The samples were randomly categorised to either the treatment gro...
The treatment group showed a highly statistically significant reduction in bleeding on probing (P < .005), probing pocket depth (P < .001), plaque index (P < .001), and C-reactive protein (P < .001); ...
Reduction of inflammation in the periodontium by nonsurgical periodontal therapy did not reduce anti-citrullinated protein antibody and rheumatoid factor levels. However, it has shown improvement in p...
During the progression of chronic periodontitis (CP), changes in the levels of inflammatory factors are detected in serum and gingival sulcus fluid (GCF). The aim of this meta-analysis was to systemat...
Literature searches were performed through PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang Database. Randomized controlled trials comparing cytokine levels ...
There were a total of 13 studies included with 1220 patients. There were 630 cases in the experimental group and 590 cases in the control group. The meta-analysis showed that IL-6 levels in the GCF (S...
After periodontal therapy, the proinflammatory cytokines in the GCF and serum of patients with CP were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment, and the efficacy was remarkable....
The study aimed to estimate the incidence/progression and reversal of chronic periodontitis and to identify factors associated with chronic periodontitis in Australian adults over a 12-year period....
Data were obtained from the longitudinal component of the National Study of Adult Oral Health (NSAOH) in 2004-2006, and repeated data, among the same adults, in 2017-2018. NSAOH 2004-2006 was a popula...
A total of 775 dentate Australian adults had dental examinations at both times. The proportion of incidence/progression and reversal among Australian adults was 56.4% and 11.0%, respectively. Tobacco ...
Smoking is a risk factor for periodontitis. Cessation of smoking is an effective means of reducing the incidence and progression of chronic periodontitis, to reduce the risk of tooth loss, and to impr...
This study aimed to investigate and analyse the clinical efficacy and safety of periocline-assisted periodontal foundation in the therapy of chronic periodontitis....
From May 2018 to January 2021, 108 patients with chronic periodontitis were treated at our institution and randomly assigned equally to either the control or the experimental group. The plaque index (...
The levels of PLI, SBI, PD, and AI in the two groups were significantly lower in both groups at 1 and 3 months posttreatment compared to baseline; the levels of PLI and SBI were higher, and the levels...
Periodontal fundamental therapy with perioclines may be a potential treatment for persistent periodontitis. It improves the primary clinical indicators, increases dysbacteriosis control, and has a str...
The recurrence risk evaluation has been emphasized in periodontal stabilization during supportive periodontal therapy (SPT). However, nutritional factors, e.g., dietary habits such as the frequency of...
Dental implant restoration shows an effective method for the rehabilitation of missing teeth. The failure rate of periodontal implants in patients with chronic periodontitis is associated with periodo...
Mechano-sensitive odontoblast cells, which sense mechanical loading and various stresses in the tooth structure, synthesize early signaling molecules such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and nitric oxide (...
A total of 185 subjects were divided into three categories: AP group (n = 85), CP group (n = 50) and healthy control group (n = 50). The AP group was divided into 3 subgroups according to abscess scor...
Unlike serum measurements (sTNF-α, sIL-10, sNO and sPGE2), GCF-NO and GCF-PGE levels of the AP group were significantly higher than the control group in relation to abscess formation (54.4 ± 56.3 vs. ...
GCF-PE2 and GCF-NO have high diagnostic value in the determination of AP and CP, and can be selected as targets to guide treatment. In addition, the measurements of PGE2 and NO in GCF can be used as a...
In this article, it is reported that syntheses of early signaling molecules such as PGE2 and NO can be used for the diagnosis and treatment target of periapical and periodontal infections....
Gene regulation of IL-6 is characterized by the presence of inflammatory cytokines, bacterial products, viral infection, and activation of the diacylglycerol-, cyclic AMP-, or Ca + + -activated signal...
Scaling and root planning (SRP), a non-surgical periodontal therapy, was studied in connection to several clinical parameters for its effect on salivary IL-6 levels in patients with generalized chroni...
For this study, a total of 60 GCP patients were included. Plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), pocket probing depth (PPD), bleeding on probing percentage (BOP%), and clinical attachment loss were a...
Following SRP, mean IL-6 levels in patients with GCP were significantly higher in the pre-treatment group (2.93 5.17 pg/ml; p 0.05) than in the posttreatment group (5.78 8.26 pg/ml; baseline). Pre- an...
Changes in periodontal indices and IL-6 levels that are statistically significant over time indicate that non-surgical treatment is effective, and IL-6 can be regarded as a potent disease activity mar...
The aim of this study was to investigate the association between periodontitis and total serum cholesterol level in patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy (T2DN)....
Periodontitis is now recognized as the sixth complication of diabetes and can also affect other complications of diabetes, including nephropathy and coronary artery diseases. Studies have considered d...
A total of 119 T2DN patients with chronic periodontitis were included in this observational study. Participants were stratified into the Normal (serum total cholesterol <5.17 mmol/L, n = 89) and the D...
Means of CAL and BI were significantly higher in the Dyslipidemia group compared with the Normal group. In the Dyslipidemia group, PD and percent of sites with PD ≥4 mm were positively correlated with...
T2DN patients with chronic periodontitis had a 2.355-fold higher risk of developing dyslipidemia, implying an important relationship between periodontitis and blood lipid control among T2DN patients....
The presence of red-complex bacteria (RCB) has been associated with the occurrence of not only periodontal disease but also other systemic diseases, thereby potentiating an oral-systemic relationship....
Six hundred pregnant women (aged 20 to 35 years) in their third trimester were selected and divided into 3 groups comprising a control group (systemically and periodontally healthy pregnant women), gr...
The mean weight, mean body mass index, mean SBP, mean DBP, and mean urine protein content were significantly elevated in group A and group B when compared to the control group. Preeclamptic women with...
