TL;DR: Data support the belief that professionally administered plaque control significantly improves gingival inflammation and lowers plaque scores, with some evidence that reinforcement of oral hygiene provides further benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Schaefer,Gregor Bochenek,Thomas Manke,Michael Nothnagel,Christian Graetz,Anneke Thien,Yvonne Jockel-Schneider,Inga Harks,Ingmar Staufenbiel,Cisca Wijmenga,Joerg Eberhard,Esra Guzeldemir-Akcakanat,Naci Cine,Mathias Folwaczny,Barbara Noack,Joerg Meyle,Peter Eickholz,Leonardo Trombelli,Chiara Scapoli,Rahime M.

TL;DR: Previous candidate genes carry no susceptibility factors for AgP, and association of IL-10 rs61815643 with AgP is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
A genome-wide association study identifies nucleotide variants at SIGLEC5 and DEFA1A3 as risk loci for periodontitis.

TL;DR: This study identifies the first shared genetic risk loci of AgP and CP with genome‐wide significance and highlights the role of innate and adaptive immunity in the etiology of periodontitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify further shared genetic risk factors to better understand conjoint disease mechanisms and identify PLG as the third replicated shared risk factor of atherosclerosis and periodontitis.

TL;DR: The study provides evidence that in addition to PLG, the currently known shared susceptibility loci of CAD and periodontitis, ANRIL and CAMTA1/VAMP3, are subjected to transforming growth factor-&bgr; regulation.
