Two families who provide additional data concerning the metabolic, radiographic, and clinical parameters of periodontosis are presented. These findings include decreased serum alkaline phosphatase levels with absent liver isozyme fractions, decreased tubular bone over-all width and medullary space
BACKGROUND
Limited information is available to determine if there is a distinction in local cellular immunity between adult and early-onset periodontitis. Furthermore, the effect of scaling and root planing on various lymphocyte subsets is sparsely described.
METHODS
Clinical measurements were
BACKGROUND
Limited information is available as to whether local cellular immunity in early-onset periodontitis (EOP) subjects harboring Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) differs from that in patients without Aa. In addition, the effect of scaling and root planing on various lymphocyte
There have been two previous cases reported in which children with a possible history of Prepubertal Periodontitis (PP) developed Generalized Juvenile Periodontitis (GJP) in their permanent dentitions at circumpubescent ages. This paper reports a case in which an apparently healthy 13-year-old girl,
BACKGROUND
Vitamin D is associated with a number of inflammatory diseases and plays a significant role in regulating bone metabolism. Serum calcifediol was demonstrated to be potentially associated with periodontal disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether an association exists
The purpose of this study was to compare, using cell blot analysis, the association of gingival tissue mononuclear cells (GTMC) isolated from lesions displaying histories of early-onset periodontitis (EOP; typically B-lymphocyte dominated) and gingivitis (typically T-lymphocyte dominated) with the
Hypophosphatasia, an inheritable metabolic disorder affecting calcification, has been shown to have various oral manifestations. Recently, it was suggested that it may serve as a predisposing factor in the pathogenesis of early-onset periodontitis. The present study was designed to examine the
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans strains that express cytolethal distending toxin (Cdt) are associated with localized aggressive periodontitis. However, the in vivo targets of Cdt in the human oral cavity have not been firmly established. Here, we demonstrate that A. actinomycetemcomitans Cdt
OBJECTIVE
Biochemical parameters of crevicular fluid could provide evidence of periodontal tissue disease. The aim of this study was to analyze enzymes in crevicular fluid in aggressive localized and generalized periodontitis.
METHODS
One hundred and twenty-four subjects were classified as having
BACKGROUND
Host response and environmental factors are known to modify periodontal status adversely. Presently serum, saliva, and GCF are being investigated for its biochemical constituents. GCF contains array of biochemical factors, offering potential use as a diagnostic or prognostic biomarker of
OBJECTIVE
Vitamin D deficiency is a frequent health problem worldwide, especially as fewer people spend much time in the sun. Vitamin D deficiency is linked to several infectious and inflammatory conditions, including periodontal disease. However, its role in aggressive periodontitis (AgP) has not
BACKGROUND
Bacterial constituents, such as Gram-negative derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS), can initiate inflammatory bone loss through induction of host-derived inflammatory cytokines. The aim of this study was to establish a model of aggressive inflammatory alveolar bone loss in rats using LPS
Hypophosphatasia is an inherited disorder characterized by defective bone mineralization, deficiency of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, increased excretion of phosphoethanolamine (PEA) in the urine and premature loss of the deciduous teeth. A male hypophosphatasia patient aged 15 years 6
Hypophosphatasia is a congenital disease characterized by defective bone mineralization, deficiency of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, increased excretion of the phosphoethanolamine (PEA) in the urine, and premature loss of the deciduous teeth. A male hypophosphatasia patient (aged 15 years 6
