Risk of severe periodontal disease in a Swedish adult population. A cross-sectional study

TL;DR: In this paper, potential risk factors for severe periodontal disease were identified in a cross-sectional sample from the county of Jonkoping, Sweden, where 547 adults 20-70 years of age were categorised clinically and radiographically by level of periodonal disease experience.

Rehabilitation of oral function in head and neck cancer patients after radiotherapy with implant-retained dentures: Effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy

TL;DR: Implant-retained lower dentures can improve the quality of life related to oral functioning and denture satisfaction in head and neck cancer patients and adjuvant hyperbaric oxygen therapy could not be shown to enhance implant survival in radiated mandibular jaw bone.

Endothelial dysfunction in patients with chronic periodontitis and its improvement after initial periodontal therapy.

TL;DR: Endothelium functions were impaired in patients with chronic periodontitis and that they improve following initial periodontal therapy and there was no significant difference between the groups with regard to cardiovascular risk factors.

Is collagen breakdown during periodontitis linked to inflammatory cells and expression of matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases in human gingival tissue

TL;DR: The present study showed an imbalance between MMPs and TIMPs associated with the pathologic breakdown of the extracellular matrix during periodontitis, and the active form of MMP-9 could be a marker for the clinical severity of periodontal disease.

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.
