Periodontal disease and adverse pregnancy outcomes: a systematic review

TL;DR: This work has shown that periodontal disease, as a source of subclinical and persistent infection, may induce systemic inflammatory responses that increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minocycline reduces gingival collagenolytic activity during diabetes. Preliminary observations and a proposed new mechanism of action.

TL;DR: The data suggests that tetracycline therapy inhibits tissue collagenolytic enzyme activity by a mechanism al least in part unrelated to its antibacterial efficacy, and this mechanism may provide a new therapeutic approach for suppressing excessive collagen resorption which occurs during periodontal disease and which can occur during other pathologic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long‐term effect of surgical/non‐surgical treatment of periodontal disease

TL;DR: The results of the examinations showed that the patients' standard of self-maintained oral hygiene had a decisive influence on the long-term effect of treatment, suggesting that the critical determinant in periodontal therapy is not the technique that is used for the elimination of the subgingival infection, but the quality of the debridement of the root surface.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term implant survival and success: a 10-16-year follow-up of non-submerged dental implants.

TL;DR: Despite a relatively high long-term survival rate, biological and technical complications were frequent and patients with a history of periodontitis may have lower implant survival rates than patients without a History of Periodontitis and were more prone to biological complications such as peri-implant mucositis and peri -implantitis.

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.
