Periodontitis: Consensus report of workgroup 2 of the 2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions.

TL;DR: A new periodontitis classification scheme has been adopted, in which forms of the disease previously recognized as "chronic" or "aggressive" are now grouped under a single category ("periodontitis") and are further characterized based on a multi-dimensional staging and grading system as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low-Abundance Biofilm Species Orchestrates Inflammatory Periodontal Disease through the Commensal Microbiota and Complement

TL;DR: It is shown that P. gingivalis, at very low colonization levels, triggers changes to the amount and composition of the oral commensal microbiota leading to inflammatory periodontal bone loss, demonstrating that a single, low-abundance species can disrupt host-microbial homeostasis to cause inflammatory disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Periodontitis: Consensus report of workgroup 2 of the 2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions: Classification and case definitions for periodontitis

TL;DR: A new periodontitis classification scheme has been adopted, in which forms of the disease previously recognized as "chronic" or "aggressive" are now grouped under a single category ("periodontitis") and are further characterized based on a multi-dimensional staging and grading system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional Cooperation between Interleukin-17 and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Is Mediated by CCAAT/Enhancer-binding Protein Family Members

TL;DR: It is shown that at least part of the functional cooperation between IL-17 and TNFα occurs at the level of IL-6 gene transcription, and that C/EBPδ (or the related transcription factor C-EBPβ) is essential for expression ofIL-6.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel host response therapeutic approaches to treat periodontal diseases.

TL;DR: This review has sought to provide mechanistic overviews and clinical applications on the use of host modulatory therapeutic regimens for periodontal disease management by using gene therapy vectors to provide a longer-term delivery of tumor necrosis factor receptor antagonists at the periodontium.
