Effect of Oral Contraceptive Therapy On Gingival Inflammation in Humans

TL;DR: No relationship appeared to exist due to the differences of progesterone or estrogen content in the various brands of oral contraceptives, and increased accumulative exposure to oral contraceptives apparently had no effect upon Oral Debris Indices or Gingival Inflammatory Indices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical and microbiological effects of controlled-release locally delivered minocycline in periodontitis.

TL;DR: There were no differences in probing depth reduction among groups at 6 months, but the gain in clinical attachment level was significantly greater for SRP than for either the NoTx or M groups, and the prevalence of Pg decreased significantly in the M and M + SRP groups at one month.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of Bacillus subtilis mouth rinsing in patients with periodontitis

TL;DR: Mouth rinsing with E-300 significantly reduced periodontal pathogens compared with NG, and results suggest that Bacillus subtilis is an appropriate mouth rinse for patients with periodontitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis to study bacterial community structure in pockets of periodontitis patients.

TL;DR: A promising molecular technique, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), to study microbial population dynamics in the subgingival pocket showed that treatment resulted in a decrease in the diversity of the population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endocrinology of sex steroid hormones and cell dynamics in the periodontium

TL;DR: This review provides a broad overview of steroid hormone physiology, evidence for the periodontium being a target tissue for sex steroid hormones and theories regarding the roles of sex steroid hormone in periodontal pathogenesis.

Indices for Prevalence and Incidence of Periodontal Disease

TL;DR: When the extent and distribution of the disease has been investigated, the available information is utilized in search for etiological factors and studies of the nature of the Disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

A System of Classification and Scoring for Prevalence Surveys of Periodontal Disease

TL;DR: A method for scoring the effects of periodontal disease which permits quantitative comparisons between or within human populations, and which may be applied swiftly and with a minimum of equipment in the field is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pregnancy gingivitis: History, classification, etiology

TL;DR: The histologic changes apparently do not arise from a single etiological factor, but are a manifestation of the altered nutritional and the metabolic status of the individual during pregnancy, and the immediate cause of the gingival changes appears to be a diminished utilization of estrogen or a modification of estrogen metabolism.
