Lipid peroxidation levels and total oxidant status in serum, saliva and gingival crevicular fluid in patients with chronic periodontitis

TL;DR: The results revealed that LPO significantly increased locally in the periodontal pocket/oral environment, while TOS displayed both systemic and local increases in periodontitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationship between the percentage of subgingival spirochetes and the severity of periodontal disease.

TL;DR: The most significant increases in the relative percentages of subgingival spirochetes occurred when bleeding upon probing was observed as a sign of inflammation and/or when pocket depth and attachment loss exceeded 3 mm.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Longitudinal Study of Combined Periodontal and Prosthetic Treatment of Patients With Advanced Periodontal Disease

TL;DR: It has been demonstrated that teeth with severely reduced periodontal support and with progressive mobility can serve as reliable abutment teeth for extensive fixed splints/bridges providedperiodontal health has been established and can be maintained in the remaining dentition and provided the bridgework is designed as to preclude undue stress concentrations in the supporting apparatus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacteriology of Human Gingivitis

TL;DR: Data indicated that the flora of healthy sites within a mouth is influenced by the number of inflamed sites, which argues against independence of sites bacteriologically, and suggests that increased serum and blood in the gingival crevice encourage species that relate to periodontitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative estimation of sulfiredoxin levels between chronic periodontitis and healthy patients - A case-control study.

TL;DR: Sulfiredoxin levels were significantly higher in the gingival tissues of chronic periodontitis patients than in healthy controls and positively correlated with site-specific probing depth and clinical attachment level.

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.
