López, Néstor; Jara, Lilian; Valenzuela, Carlos (2005)Background: Several studies have investigated genetic polymorphisms for cytokines as potential genetic markers for periodontitis. Some studies have found that interleukin (IL)-1A and IL-1B polymorphisms are associated with ...

López, Néstor; Valenzuela, Carlos; Jara, Lilian (2009)Background: Epidemiologic studies have shown an increased frequency, severity, and risk of periodontitis in patients with diabetes. Periodontitis is associated with certain interleukin (IL)-1 gene cluster polymorphisms. ...

López, Néstor; Smith, Patricio; Gutierrez, Jorge (2002)Background: Recent studies have suggested that periodontal disease is a risk factor for preterm low birth weight (PLBW). A randomized controlled trial was undertaken to help further evaluate the proposed association ...

López, Néstor; Da Silva, Isabel; Ipinza, Joaquín; Gutiérrez, Jorge (2005)Background: One hypothesis to explain the association between periodontal disease (PD) preterm/low birth weight (PT/LBW) is that PT/LBW may be indirectly mediated through translocation of bacteria or bacterial products ...

López, Néstor; Ríos, Verónica; Vallejos Pareja, Miguel; Fernández, Olaya (1991)The aim of this survey was to study the prevalence of juvenile periodontitis in schoolchildren aged 15-19 years in Santiago, Chile. A random sample of 2500 schoolchildren (1318 male, 1182 female) that represented the full ...

López, Néstor; Gamonal Aravena, Jorge Antonio; Martínez, Benjamín (American Academy of Periodontology, 2000)Background: The prevailing concept is that little or no clear benefit is derived from antibiotic therapy in chronic periodontitis. Studies to determine the effect of metronidazole plus amoxicillin (M+A) on adult periodontitis ...
