TLDR
How the new classification for periodontal diseases and conditions presented in this volume differs from the classification system developed at the 1989 World Workshop in Clinical Periodontics is summarized.Abstract:
Classification systems are necessary in order to provide a framework in which to scientifically study the etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of diseases in an orderly fashion. In addition, such systems give clinicians a way to organize the health care needs of their patients. The last time scientists and clinicians in the field of periodontology and related areas agreed upon a classi- fication system for periodontal diseases was in 1989 at the World Workshop in Clinical Periodontics.1 Subsequently, a simpler classification was agreed upon at the 1st European Workshop in Periodontology.2 These classification systems have been widely used by clinicians and research scientists throughout the world. Unfortunately, the 1989 classification had many shortcomings including: 1) considerable overlap in disease categories, 2) absence of a gingival disease component, 3) inappropriate emphasis on age of onset of disease and rates of progression, and 4) inadequate or unclear classification criteria. The 1993 Europea...read more

Epidemiology of periodontal status in dentate adults in France, 2002–2003
TL;DR: Based on the International Classification of Periodontal Diseases, approximately 50% of adults in France may suffer from a severe attachment loss problem, and periodontal pockets are an uncommon condition in France.

TL;DR: Results indicate that T. lecithinolyticum may be a diagnostic marker for GAP and C. ochracea for periodontal health, and suggest that current presumptions of the association of specific bacteria with periodontAL health and disease require further evaluation.

Increased Levels of 8-Hydroxydeoxyguanosine and Malondialdehyde and its Relationship with Antioxidant Enzymes in Saliva of Periodontitis Patients
TL;DR: Higher salivary 8-OHdG and MDA levels and lower Salivary antioxidant activities seem to reflect increased oxygen radical activity during periodontal inflammation.

Home use of interdental cleaning devices, in addition to toothbrushing, for preventing and controlling periodontal diseases and dental caries

TL;DR: Low-certainty evidence suggested that flossing, in addition to toothbrushing, may reduce gingivitis, which is measured by gingival index (GI) at one month, according to GRADE.
A biphasic scaffold design combined with cell sheet technology for simultaneous regeneration of alveolar bone/periodontal ligament complex
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the combination of multiple PDL cell sheets and a biphasic scaffold allows the simultaneous delivery of the cells necessary for in vivo regeneration of alveolar bone, periodontal ligament and cementum.

Natural history of periodontal disease in man. Rapid, moderate and no loss of attachment in Sri Lankan laborers 14 to 46 years of age.
TL;DR: In this paper, the initiation, rate of progress of periodontal disease and consequent tooth loss in a population never exposed to any programs or incidents relative to prevention and treatment of dental diseases was described.

Periodontal Diseases: Epidemiology
TL;DR: Although prevalence figures vary with race and geographic region, in most cases, the progression pattern of the disease seems compatible with the retention of a functional dentition throughout life, and most recent data indicate that periodontal disease may confer risk for coronary heart disease and pre-term low birth weight.
Journal ArticleDOI
New concepts of destructive periodontal disease.
TL;DR: Comparison of monitored loss rates for a year with mean loss rates prior to monitoring suggested that there may be relatively short periods in an individual's life in which many sites undergo periodontal destruction followed by periods of extended remission.
