Relationship between Gingival Inflammation and Pregnancy

TL;DR: This review is focused not only on epidemiological studies, but also on the effects of progesterone and estrogen on the change of subgingival microbiota and immunologic physiological mediators in periodontal tissue (gingiva andperiodontal ligament), which provides current information about theeffects of pregnancy on gingival inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endothelial cell leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression in gingival tissue during health and experimentally-induced gingivitis.

TL;DR: The changes in vascular adhesion molecule expression and numbers of infiltrating leukocytes during a 21-day experimental gingivitis episode were investigated immunohistochemically and the gradient of ICAM-1 in junctional epithelium, with the strongest staining on the crevicular aspect, may be crucial processes which direct leukocyte migration towards the gingival crevice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Essential oils compared to chlorhexidine with respect to plaque and parameters of gingival inflammation: a systematic review.

TL;DR: In long-term use, the standardized formulation of EOMW appeared to be a reliable alternative to chlorhexidine mouthwash with respect to parameters of gingival inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histometric evaluation of periodontal surgery I. The modified Widman flap procedure

TL;DR: Treatment of periodontal pockets using the modified Widman flap procedure produced no gain in connective tissue attachment and no increase in crestal bone height, and in angular bony defects a certain degree "bone fill" was noted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical and Radiological Improvement of Periodontal Disease in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Treated With Alendronate: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial

TL;DR: In type-2 diabetic patients, alendronate induced more improvement in alveolar bone crest height than control therapy, and no differences in urinary N-telopeptide or glycated hemoglobin were observed in this short-term randomized controlled pilot trial.

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.
