Journal ArticleDOI

Potential Pathogenic Mechanisms of Periodontitis-Associated Pregnancy Complications

TL;DR: New experiments from 48 case-control subjects have measured gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of PGE(2) and IL-1-beta to determine whether mediator levels were related to current pregnancy outcome, and microbes associated with mature plaque and progressing periodontitis were detected at higher levels in PLBW mothers, as compared to NBW controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammatory mediator response as a potential risk marker for periodontal diseases in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the high GCF and monocytic secretion of PGE2 and IL-1 beta in IDDM patients may be a consequence of a systemic response trait and that the presence of Gram-negative infections such as periodontal diseases may interact synergistically to yield high local levels of these mediators and a more severeperiodontal condition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammatory mediators of the terminal dentition in adult and early onset periodontitis

TL;DR: The data suggest that this cross-sectional TD periodontitis model may reflect progressive periodontal disease associated with tooth loss, and although Thl cytokine levels in the GCF dominate over the Th2 response, monocytic activation provides the main source of proinflammatory mediators.
