TL;DR: While gingival health and gingivitis have many clinical features, case definitions are primarily predicated on presence or absence of bleeding on probing, which creates differences in the way in which a "case" of gedival health or gingIVitis is defined for clinical practice as opposed to epidemiologically in population prevalence surveys.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of β-Defensin Antimicrobial Peptides by the Oral Mucosa and Salivary Glands
Michael S Mathews,Hongpeng Jia,Janet M. Guthmiller,Garrett Losh,Scott M. Graham,Georgia K. Johnson,Brian F. Tack,Paul B. McCray +7 more
TL;DR: Western immunoblotting, liquid chromatography, and mass spectrometry were used to identify the H BD-1 and HBD-2 peptides in human saliva and detected β-defensin peptide in salivary secretions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cigarette smoking and the periodontal patient.
Georgia K. Johnson,Margaret Hill +1 more
TL;DR: The role of dental health professionals in tobacco cessation is discussed, including the use of the five A's: ask--identify tobacco users; advise--advise them to Quit; assess--evaluate the patient's readiness to quit; assist--offer assistance in cessation; and arrange--follow up on the patient’s cessation efforts.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of smoking on the response to periodontal therapy
Michele K. Baumert Ah,Georgia K. Johnson,Wayne B. Kaldahl,Kashinath D. Patil,Kenneth L. Kalkwart +4 more
TL;DR: Smokers responded less favorably than non-smokers to periodontal therapy which included 3-month maintenance follow-up and statistical analysis showed a tendency for smokers to have slightly more supragingival plaque and bleeding on probing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery of new human β-defensins using a genomics-based approach
Hongpeng Jia,Brian C. Schutte,Andreas Schudy,Rose Linzmeier,Janet M. Guthmiller,Georgia K. Johnson,Brian F. Tack,Joseph P. Mitros,André Rosenthal,Tomas Ganz,Paul B. McCray +10 more
TL;DR: Empithelial β-defensins are broad-spectrum cationic antimicrobial peptides that also act as chemokines for adaptive immune cells that cluster to all known defensin genes in the human genome.
