chronic periodontitis/obesity

OBJECTIVE Obesity is increasing in prevalence worldwide and has emerged as a strong risk factor for periodontal disease. Conversely, the remote effects of periodontal disease on various systemic diseases have been proposed. The aim of this study is to determine the presence of MCP-4 and high

11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), which converts inactive cortisone to active cortisol, has been reported to play an important role in metabolic diseases as well as chronic inflammatory diseases. The involvement of 11β-HSD1 in chronic periodontitis was investigated in the present

Type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity are the most common nutritional disorders in developed and developing countries. Increased prevalence of periodontal disease is a well-known complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). As obesity is generally the first step toward type 2 diabetes mellitus, it

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) on clinical periodontal and immunological parameters in obese patients with chronic periodontitis (CP). METHODS Fifty-three obese with CP

BACKGROUND Chronic periodontitis (CP) is a global public health issue. Studies have suggested CP could be linked to obesity due to their similar pathophysiological pathway. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of CP and to assess the predictors for CP among the obese Malaysian

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of scaling and root planing (SRP) on periodontal parameters and whole salivary resistin and interleukin (IL)-6 levels in chronic periodontitis (CP) patients with and without obesity. METHODS Participants were divided into two groups;

BACKGROUND Despite several investigations suggesting that obesity is a risk indicator for periodontitis, little is known about the effect of obesity on periodontal treatment response. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of scaling and root planing (SRP) on clinical parameters and

OBJECTIVE Obesity and diabetes are the most common nutritional and endocrine disorders in developed and developing countries and are related to immune response alterations. Recent studies suggest an association among diabetes, obesity, and periodontitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the

BACKGROUND TNF-α, an adipokine involved in systemic inflammation and a member of a group of cytokines that stimulate the acute phase reaction, has been related to the pathogenesis of both periodontitis and obesity. The objective of this study was to assess the serum levels of adiponectin, leptin and

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of conventional periodontal therapy on serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level and periodontal status in obese and normal-weight chronic periodontitis patients. METHODS This is a controlled clinical trial conducted at the King Abdulaziz University Faculty of

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum levels of lipids in patients with normal weight (NW) or obesity with or without chronic periodontitis (ChP). METHODS One hundred and sixty non-smoking patients without history of diabetes and/or cardiovascular events were allocated into one

BACKGROUND Obesity is considered as a strong risk factor of inflammatory periodontal tissue destruction. The purpose of this study is to determine presence of progranulin (PGRN) and high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs CRP) levels in serum and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in obese subjects

OBJECTIVE Lipocalin-2, a 25 kDa secretory glycoprotein, was first found in the neutrophilic granules of humans and in mouse kidney cells. It has been shown to have an important role in inflammation. The aim of this study was to determine the levels of lipocalin-2 in gingival crevicular fluid and
