Filter by:The recently discovered association of the hormones 'asprosin, adropin and irisin' with obesity and metabolic status, as well as the fact that periodontal diseases are affected by obesity and nutrition bilaterally, have led us to investigate the relationship between selected target markers and periodontal disease. The primary aim and main objective of this study is to increase the knowledge and to direct future researches as a result of the lack of adequate research in the past and the very limited investigations with these hormones in dentistry and periodontology. Our study was conducted on 122 patients who applied to Adıyaman University Faculty of Dentistry and were referred to the Department of Periodontology for routine periodontal controls. Participants' gender, age, height, weight, BMI, education level, tooth brushing and flossing habits as well as clinical parameters PI, GI, SCD, CAS and SDI were noted. Participants were divided into 4 groups as healthy, gingivitis, initial periodontitis and advanced periodontitis and grouped according to the current periodontal classification of 2017. DOS was collected from the groups for examination and 'asprosin, adropin and irisin' values in the samples were evaluated by ELISA test.
The aim of this randomized, single-masked, controlled clinical trial study was to determine if the administration of electro acupuncture improves the outcomes obtained in combination with non-surgical periodontal therapy. Participants will get non-surgical periodontal therap with/without electro acupuncture. Researchers will compare EA and control groups to see if there is any relationship between acupuncture application clinical periodontal parameters,serum and saliva cytokine levels.
This study aims to assess the diagnostic potential of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) biomarkers, specifically 8-iso Prostaglandin F2α (8-iso-PGF2α) and adenosine deaminase (ADA), in evaluating periodontal health and disease conditions.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the adjunctive effects of systemic antibiotics used in nonsurgical periodontal treatment (NSPT), compared with NSPT alone, on the periodontal clinical parameters and resistin level in diabetic patients with periodontitis, in order to identify which, one provides an additional effect to non-surgical periodontal therapy
Emerging research indicates a link between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and periodontal diseases, revealing the intricate relationship between oral health and systemic conditions. PCOS, a hormonal disorder in women of reproductive age, often associates with obesity, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance, heightening the risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The pathogenesis of PCOS involves an inflammatory response marked by increased CRP, inflammatory cytokines, elevated blood leukocytes, adhesion molecule expression, and oxidative stress markers like myeloperoxidase (MPO). Periodontal diseases, bacterial infections affecting gums, ligaments, cement, and bone, include gingivitis (gum inflammation) and periodontitis (irreversible tissue destruction). Evidence suggests a link between periodontitis and increased CVD risk, while such association with gingivitis is limited. Potential mechanisms linking periodontal diseases and CVD involve cytokine release, oral bacteria toxin production, and direct bloodstream transfer. Recognition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and TNFα triggers innate immune cells via TLR4 and TNFR, activating NF-κB and JNK expression. JNK amplifies inflammatory responses, inducing proinflammatory genes, and TNFα, IL-1, IL-6, and IL-8 can invade endothelial layers, promoting adhesion molecule expression. Enhanced leukocyte ROS production, especially in periodontitis, contributes to endothelial dysfunction and heightened cardiovascular risk. The activation of multiple inflammatory pathways likely links PCOS, periodontal disease, and increased cardiovascular risk. Thus, the researchers aim to investigate if the presence of periodontal diseases, particularly gingivitis, exacerbates oxidative stress, inflammation and atherosclerosis surrogate markers in women with PCOS, and explore the underlying molecular mechanisms.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of smoking cessation on inflammatory markers following non-surgical treatment of periodontal disease. This is to assess the period of smoking abstinence needed before any periodontal surgery in order to reverse the negative effects of the reported increased levels of inflammatory markers (IL-1β and PGE2 in this study) associated with smoking on the healing and the periodontium.
T Regulatory cells which suppressor subset of T cells and related cytokines remain in blood and infiltrates into the tissue under need. The role of Treg and related cytokines in succession of periodontal inflammation is recently a subject of research interest. Chronic gingivitis and periodontitis being chronic inflammatory diseases can upregulate various cytokines in the systemic circulation and gingival crevicular fluid. This study aimed to compare levels of Tregs with Interleukin-21, 22, 33, 35 and vitamin D-binding protein in blood and GCF of periodontally healthy persons, chronic gingivitis patients, and severe chronic periodontitis patients.
Osteocalcin levels can be measured Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). Changes in osteocalcin levels can provide important information about the status of bone metabolism and bone remodeling. The levels of this markers in GCF can provide information about the status of bone remodeling in the surrounding bone tissue in periodontal affected teeth.
Caries and periodontal disease are chronic diseases of the oral cavity. The incidence of caries and periodontal disease can vary depending on the position of the third molar, The aim of this study was to verify possible associations between oral health-related quality of life (QoL), periodontal disease, caries lesions and the position of the lower third molar.
This study investigates the clinical and biochemical results of vitamin D supplementation in addition to non-surgical periodontal treatment in individuals with Type II diabetes mellitus and periodontitis.
