Periodontal conditions in insulin-dependent diabetics.

TL;DR: Diabetics, irrespective of the duration of the disease, had a higher prevalence of sites with gingivitis than non-diabetics and the increased number of subjects belonging to classification groups with severe periodontal disease experience among long-duration diabetics indicates more periodont alveolar disease in these diabetICS.

Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy in the Non-Surgical Treatment of Aggressive Periodontitis: A Preliminary Randomized Controlled Clinical Study

TL;DR: P PDT and SRP showed similar clinical results in the non-surgical treatment of aggressive periodontitis, and plaque scores were reduced and remained low throughout the study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tobacco smoking affects bacterial acquisition and colonization in oral biofilms.

TL;DR: The data suggest that smoking influences both the composition of the nascent biofilm and the host response to this colonization, suggesting that smoking favors early acquisition and colonization of pathogens in oral biofilms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microflora in the healthy gingival sulcus in man.

TL;DR: The roll tube culture technique was utilized to examine quantitatively and qualitatively the predominant cultivable microflora inhabiting the clinically healthy gingival sulcus and comprised a markedly lower proportion of Gram-negative organisms than that found at the base of deep periodontal pockets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence of bacteria of division TM7 in human subgingival plaque and their association with disease.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the I025 phylotype, and the TM7 bacterial division in general, may play a role in the multifactorial process leading to periodontitis.

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.
