Peter B. Lockhart,Michael T. Brennan,Martin H. Thornhill,Bryan S. Michalowicz,Jenene Noll,Farah K. Bahrani-Mougeot,Howell C. Sasser +6 more
TL;DR: Oral hygiene and gingival disease indexes were associated significantly with IE-related bacteremia after toothbrushing, and improvements in oral hygiene may reduce the risk of developing IE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reproducibility and Sensitivity of Oral Malodor Measurements with a Portable Sulphide Monitor
TL;DR: Assessment of steady-state sulphide levels by the sulphide monitor does not constitute a direct measure of oral malodor, but its relation to organoleptic measurement, superior reproducibility, objectivity, and sensitivity support the use of the sulphideside monitor in clinical studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Periodontal Disease
TL;DR: In all age groups studied, subjects with diabetes had a higher prevalence of periodontal disease, indicating that diabetes may be a risk factor for periodontAL disease.

Suppression of the periodontopathic microflora in localized juvenile periodontitis by systemic tetracycline
J Slots,B. Rosling +1 more
TL;DR: The present study indicates that A. actinomycetemcomitans is an important etiologic agent in localized juvenile periodontitis and suggests that systemic tetracycline therapy of localized juvenileperiodontitis should, as a practical rule, be continued for 3 weeks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cigarette smoking as risk factor in chronic periodontal disease.
TL;DR: Smoking should be considered a risk factor for chronic periodontal disease, as significantly greater frequencies of periodontally involved teeth and diseased sites were found in smokers, indicating more severe disease among smokers.

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.

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.

Pregnancy gingivitis: History, classification, etiology
Daniel E. Ziskin,Gerald J Nesse +1 more
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.
