Routine scale and polish for periodontal health in adults

TL;DR: This study showed no evidence to claim or refute benefit for scale and polish treatments for the outcomes of gingivitis, calculus and plaque in healthy dentate adults, without severe periodontitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationship of Serum Antibody to Attachment Level Patterns in Young Adults with Juvenile Periodontitis or Generalized Severe Periodontitis

TL;DR: The inverse relationship between the two antibody reactivities and attachment loss patterns were independent of the positive relationship of plaque and suggest that the failure to mount a substantial antibody response to these organisms leads to greater and more widespread periodontal disease in early onset periodontitis subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein carbonyl levels in serum and gingival crevicular fluid in patients with chronic periodontitis.

TL;DR: The results suggest that both systemic and local/periodontal protein carbonylation increase in CP compared to health and that elevated levels of PCs may be a sign of oxidative damage in periodontitis and correlate well with the periodontal status.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of adjunctive low-dose doxycycline therapy on clinical parameters and gingival crevicular fluid matrix metalloproteinase-8 levels in chronic periodontitis.

TL;DR: It is indicated that low-dose doxycycline therapy in combination with scaling and root planing can reduce gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) levels and improve clinical periodontal parameters in patients with chronic periodontitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of an absorbable collagen membrane in treating Class II furcation defects

TL;DR: While there is no significant difference in PD, CAL, GR, width of defect, and mobility between control and test groups, sites treated with the collagen membrane had significantly higher bone fill (SB and CB) at re-entry.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED at 250 WORDS)

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.
