Longitudinal clinical and microbiological study on the relationship between infection with Streptococcus mutans and the development of caries in humans.

TL;DR: The role of S. mutans as an important, but not exclusive initiator of dental caries was confirmed as a temporal relationship between infection with S. Mutans and clinical diagnosis could be demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of 17 beta-estradiol on collagen and noncollagenous protein synthesis in the uterus and some periodontal tissues

TL;DR: The effect of a single dose of 17 beta-estradiol on collagen metabolism in the uterus and various oral tissues was determined in ovariectomized nulliparous rats, suggesting that estradiol stimulates both the synthesis and degradation of collagen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oral nitric oxide during plaque deposition.

TL;DR: This work investigated if NO oral production increases during dental plaque deposition by studying Nitric oxide's role in antibacterial properties and found it to be positive.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding resolution of inflammation in periodontal diseases: Is chronic inflammatory periodontitis a failure to resolve?

TL;DR: Re-establishment of microbiome/host homeostasis by specialized pro-resolving lipid mediator therapy suggests that microbiome dysbiosis, the host hyperinflammatory phenotype, and periodontitis can be reversed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum and salivary antibodies to Streptococcus mutans in relation to the development and treatment of human dental caries.

TL;DR: It is suggested that, in man, naturally induced serum IgG antibodies are associated withprotection against caries, but that antibodies of the IgA class in serum or parotid saliva are not associated with protection.

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.
