Acellular Dermal Matrix Allografts to Achieve Increased Attached Gingiva. Part 1. A Clinical Study

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that in procedures aiming at increasing the width of attached gingiva, the ADM allograft was less effective and less predictable than the autogenous FGG in terms of increasing attached keratinized tissue due to considerable shrinkage and inconsistent quality of the attached tissue gained.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heightened gingival inflammation and attachment loss in type 2 diabetics with hyperlipidemia.

TL;DR: Interestingly, periodontitis resulted in increased PDGF-AB levels in the gingiva of systemically healthy and well-controlled diabetes patients, but this increase was obtunded in poorly controlled Diabetes patients, which confirms earlier work in the diabetic rat model.

The Oral Conditions and Pregnancy Study: Periodontal Status of a Cohort of Pregnant Women

TL;DR: There was a significant increase in those with health/periodontal disease absence between enrollment and delivery, and an increase in attachment loss may represent active periodontal infection accelerated by pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationship between dietary habits and caries increment assessed over two years in 405 English adolescent school children

TL;DR: Multivariate analyses revealed that this relationship could not be explained by differences in sex, social class, tooth-brushing habits or level of plaque as measured by gingival inflammation, and weight of sugar intake appeared to be more strongly correlated to caries than frequency of intake.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hormonal influences on gingival tissue: relationship to periodontal disease.

TL;DR: The main hormonal effect accentuates false pocketing, rather than initiating a change in attachment levels, except in cases of progressive periodontal disease associated with plaque induced inflammation and bone loss.

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.
