(2018)The aims of this study were to describe the self-reported oral hygiene habits, dental visit frequency, and gingival bleeding perception in adult populations from three South American cities, and also to assess the ...
-
(American Academy of Periodontology, 2010-11)Background: Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-8 is a central mediator in chronic periodontitis. MMP-8 can be activated by the cooperative action of otherMMPs such asMMP-14, reactive oxygen species, andmicrobial proteases. ...
-
(Elsevier, 2015)Virulence factors on the surface of Porphyromonas gingivalis constitute the first line of interaction with host cells and contribute to immune modulation and periodontitis progression. In order to characterize surface ...
-
(Blackwell, 2008)Background and aims: Periodontitis is an infection with an episodic nature of tissue support destruction. The aim of this work was to determine the levels of chemokines, cytokines, matrix metalloproteinase-13, periodontal ...
-
(Wiley, 2016)AimThe aim of this study was to assess the levels and diagnostic accuracy of a set of potential biomarkers of periodontal tissue metabolism in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) from patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) ...
-
(Willey, 2013-06)Objective: Socioeconomic disparities in oral health among adults have been observed in many countries, but it is not clear whether they exist in aspects of Oral Health-Related Quality of Life in Chile. Methods: Data ...

-
(Univ Sao Paulo Fac Odontologia Bauru, 2020)The evidence is inconclusive regarding the effect of periodontal treatment on glycemic control and systemic inflammation in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and periodontitis Objective: To evaluate the effect of scaling ...
-
(American Academy of Periodontology, 1998-11)A randomized, double-blind, clinical study was done to assess the microbiological and clinical effects of metronidazole plus amoxicillin (M+A) as the only therapy in 46 patients with moderate to advanced progressive adult ...
-
(Wiley & Sons, 2015)BackgroundThe mechanisms involved in reactive oxygen species and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-mediated periodontal tissue breakdown are unknown. ObjectiveTo determine the effect of H2O2 in MMP-2 and MMP-9 activity, ...
-
(Univ Sao Paulo Fac Odontologia Bauru, 2015)Periodontal diseases usually refer to common inflammatory disorders known as gingivitis and periodontitis, which are caused by a pathogenic microbiota in the subgingival biofilm, including Porphyromonas gingivalis, ...
-
(American Academy of Periodontology, 2014)Macrophages account for 5% to 30% of the inflammatory infiltrate in periodontitis and are activated by the classic and alternative pathways. These pathways are identified by indirect markers, among which interferon (IFN)-γ ...
-
(2012)Background: Interleukin-21 (IL-21) controls the differentiation of T-helper Th17 cells and induces the production of IL-17 in this T-cell subtype. The aim of this study is to determine the relative expression of IL-21 ...
-
(2004)Background: Receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANK-L) is a cytokine involved in the regulation of osteoclastogenesis in bone remodeling and inflammatory osteolysis. One of the major causes of tooth loss in ...
-
(2009-02)Background: Periodontitis is an infection with an episodic pattern of tissue-support destruction. During the generation of a primary CD4+ T helper 1 (Th1) response, interferon-gamma (IFN-g) acts as a positive regulator ...
-
(2009)Aim: T regulatory (Treg) cells have been detected in periodontitis lesions, and forkhead box P3 (Foxp3) expression has been negatively correlated to receptor activator of nuclear factor-κ B ligand (RANKL). The aim of this ...
-
(Sociedade Brasileira de Pesquisa Odontologica, 2020)A high level of general and oral health are invaluable assets, a factor not always considered a basic human right for their better life quality. The mouth is a critical point of contact with the external environment, which ...
-
(Sociedade Brasileira de Pesquisa Odontologica, 2020)Periodontal diseases are considered a worldwide public health problem, owing to their high prevalence in developed and developing countries. Periodontitis may lead to tooth loss, which can impact oral health-related quality ...
-
(2005)Background: Data on periodontal conditions in adolescents in the Dominican Republic are scarce. The aim of the present crosssectional study was to estimate the prevalence of periodontal attachment loss among Dominican ...
-
(Faculdade De Odontologia De Bauru, 2016)Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence and severity of gingival, inflammation and associated risk indicators in South American adults. Material and Methods: Multi-stage samples totaling 1,650 ...
