Increased Levels of 8-Hydroxydeoxyguanosine and Malondialdehyde and its Relationship with Antioxidant Enzymes in Saliva of Periodontitis Patients

TL;DR: Higher salivary 8-OHdG and MDA levels and lower Salivary antioxidant activities seem to reflect increased oxygen radical activity during periodontal inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Usefulness of an app in improving oral hygiene compliance in adolescent orthodontic patients

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of an app-based approach in a protocol for domestic oral hygiene maintenance in a group of adolescent patients wearing fixed multibracket appliances was evaluated, and the study group (SG) patients were enrolled in a WhatsApp chat room-based competition and instructed to share monthly with the other participants two self-photographs (selfies) showing their oral hygiene status.
Journal ArticleDOI

Guided tissue regeneration in the treatment of degree III furcation defects in maxillary molars.

TL;DR: The addition of GTR at buccal furcations enhanced the treatment result by promoting probing attachment and bone gain and reduced the amount of soft tissue recession above what was accomplished by flap debridement alone.
Journal ArticleDOI

An investigation into the mechanism of protection by local passive immunization with monoclonal antibodies against Streptococcus mutans.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the two binding sites of the MAb molecule may be an essential feature for preventing streptococcal colonization but that the ability to bind to phagocytes and activate complement which resides in the Fc fragment is not essential.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oral findings and periodontal status in children, adolescents and young adults suffering from renal failure

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.
