Our group and others have shown in vitro that repeated exposure of human mononuclear cells (MNC) to lipopolysaccharide can induce endotoxin tolerance, evidenced by downregulation of TLR2 and TLR4 mRNA and surface protein; moreover, the ability of the MNC to secrete inflammatory cytokines is reduced.
BACKGROUND
Roles for host enzymes as diagnostic indicators of periodontal status in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) have been proposed. One of these host enzymes is alkaline phosphatase (ALP), the GCF activity of which has been associated with periodontal inflammation. Thus, the present study aimed
BACKGROUND
Clinical evaluation of gingivitis and/or periodontitis does not predict the progression or remission of the disease. Due to this diagnostic constraint, clinicians assume that the pathology has an increased risk of progression and plan treatments, despite the knowledge that all inflamed
OBJECTIVE
Periodontitis may alter systemic homeostasis and influence creatinine and alkaline phosphatase levels. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between severe chronic periodontitis and serum creatinine and alkaline phosphatase levels.
METHODS
One hundred patients
BACKGROUND
High alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) is shown in the periodontal ligament due to the constant renewal of this tissue or pathological circumstances. We have previously shown that the activity level of this enzyme could be reflected at the serum level.
OBJECTIVE
Because the local
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and the level of DKK1 and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) while taking Er:YAG laser as an adjunctive to scaling and root planning in the treatment of chronic periodontitis
BACKGROUND
Current clinical periodontal diagnostic techniques emphasize the assessment of clinical and radiographic signs of periodontal diseases which can provide a measure of history of disease. Hence, new methodologies for early identification and determination of periodontal disease activity
The traditional method of diagnosing periodontitis includes the assessment of clinical parameters and radiographic aids to evaluate the periodontal tissue destruction. Saliva has the potential to be used as the diagnostic fluid for oral disease. This study aimed at comparing the BACKGROUND
Alkaline phosphatase is an intracellular destruction enzyme in the periodontium, and it takes part in the normal turnover of the periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and root cementum formation and maintenance.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this case control study was to evaluate the enzyme
Ghrelin is a peptide hormone that has modulatory effects on the immune system. This study was designed to evaluate plasma ghrelin levels in patients with chronic periodontitis and to investigate if a relationship exists between ghrelin and periodontal parameters, serum cytokines, and bone turnover
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the concentration of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in the gingival crevicular fluid from patients with chronic periodontitis and its correlation with clinic periodontal parameters as well as alkaline phosphates secretions.
METHODS
Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF)
Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples were collected from 204 teeth from 35 subjects, including 8 rapidly progressive periodontitis (RPP), 14 chronic adult periodontitis (CAP), 7 marginal gingivitis (MG) and 6 healthy subjects (H). The results of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) examination indicated
Alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) activity was quantitatively compared in various kinds of oral bacteria. High ALPase activity was detected in 3 species of periodontal bacteria, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia and Capnocytophaga sputigena. The ALPase activity detected in these bacteria
This study was conducted to investigate the short-term effects of a self-ligating appliance for orthodontic treatment of severe adult periodontitis. Thirty patients diagnosed as severe periodontitis were recruited at Nanjing Stomatological Hospital, P. R.China, between January 2012 and January 2016.
Chronic periodontitis is a multifactorial disease resulting in the inflammation and destruction of the supporting structures around the teeth, leading to tooth mobility and subsequent loss of tooth. Metabolic disorders, such as diabetes mellitus, play a crucial role in the progression
