Lesiones de la mucosa bucal y comportamiento de la enfermedad periodontal en embarazadas
2004
-Objetivos. Identificar la prevalencia y severidad de enfermedad periodontal, necesidades de tratamiento periodontal y prevalencia de lesiones de la mucosa bucal. -Diseño del estudio. Estudio prospectivo, observacional y tangencial en el que se examinaron 7,952 mujeres (1991-1999) en la Escuela de Odontología de la Universidad De La Salle Bajío, en León, Gto. México, registrándose: edad, antecedentes personales patológicos, índice periodontal simplificado y lesiones de la mucosa bucal. Se integraron dos grupos: de mujeres embarazadas y de no gestantes, con edades similares. Los resultados fueron manejados en porcentajes, utilizando la prueba de Chi cuadrada para identificar su significancia…
A pilot study to evaluate the effectiveness of adjunctive use of two antimicrobial topical gels in chronic gingivitis
2021
Background Gingivitis is one of the most prevalent oral disease in humans. The most important etiological factor of gingivitis is dental plaque. Plaque control procedures comprises of several mechanical and chemical methods. Many studies have advocated that chemical plaque control methods can be used successfully as an adjunct to mechanical plaque control procedures. Thus, the aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two topical antimicrobial gels as an adjunct to mechanical plaque control over a period of 2 weeks in treatment of chronic gingivitis patients. Material and methods This is a single blind, two arm parallel design pilot clinical study including 60 systemically…
The assessment of gingivitis using remote photoplethysmography
2020
Gum disease caused by bacterial infection, systemic conditions or neurogenic inflammation remains a prevalent and important concern of public health in both, developing and developed countries, potentially causing tooth loss if left untreated. Therefore, a simple, cost-effective, and contactless diagnostic tool is needed in dentistry. The present study aims to develop and investigate the feasibility of a motion artefact-free, miniature imaging photoplethysmography system which is dedicated for assessment of gingivitis in the dental office. The device comprised of a sub-miniature monochromatic camera equipped with miniature lens, 4-LED ring illuminator, cross polarizers and bandpass optical …
Probiotics and oral health
2012
Probiotics are living microorganisms (e.g., bacteria) that are either the same as or similar to organisms found naturally in the human body and may be beneficial to health. Current researches have shown that the balance between beneficial and pathogenic bacteria is essential in order to maintain the oral health. Therefore, oral cavity has recently been suggested as a relevant target for probiotic applications. Dental caries can be seen as a microbial imbalance where the oral microbiota shift towards community dominance which produces acidogenic and acid-tolerant gram positive bacteria. Similarly, the accumulation of bacteria within the biofilm, facilitated by poor oral hygiene, predisposes …
Mesenchymal stem cells derived from inflamed dental pulpal and gingival tissue: a potential application for bone formation
2017
Background Chronic periodontal disease is an infectious disease consisting of prolonged inflammation of the supporting tooth tissue and resulting in bone loss. Guided bone regeneration procedures have become common and safe treatments in dentistry, and in this context dental stem cells would represent the ideal solution as autologous cells. In this study, we verified the ability of dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells (DPSCs) and gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) harvested from periodontally affected teeth to produce new mineralized bone tissue in vitro, and compared this to cells from healthy teeth. Methods To characterize DPSCs and GMSCs, we assessed colony-forming assay, immunophenot…
Using NMR in saliva to identify possible biomarkers of glioblastoma and chronic periodontitis
2018
Nowadays there is increasing interest in identifying-and using-metabolites that can be employed as biomarkers for diagnosing, treating and monitoring diseases. Saliva and NMR have been widely used for this purpose as they are fast and inexpensive methods. This case-control study aimed to find biomarkers that could be related to glioblastoma (GBL) and periodontal disease (PD) and studied a possible association between GBL and periodontal status. The participants numbered 130, of whom 10 were diagnosed with GBL and were assigned to the cases group, while the remaining 120 did not present any pathology and were assigned to the control group. On one hand, significantly increased (p < 0.05) meta…
Periodontal changes during chronic benign granulocytopenia in childhood. A case report.
1975
The report describes two children with chronic benign granulocytopenia, suffering from gingivitis and marginal periodontitis in the deciduous dentition. The radicular areas of the attached gingiva were well delineated against the alveolar and papillary mucosa.
Periodontal clinical and microbiological data in desquamative gingivitis patients.
2013
Objectives: A series of patients affected by desquamative gingivitis (DG) was investigated in order to evaluate relation patterns among clinical parameters relevant to plaque induced periodontitis, periodontal microbiological data and the presence of DG lesions. Patients and methods: Eight oral lichen planus (OLP) and four mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) patients were examined. Periodontal measurements (performed at six sites per tooth on all teeth) included probing depth (PD), gingival recession (REC), clinical attachment loss (CAL) and full mouth plaque (FMPS) and bleeding (FMBS) scores; the presence and the exact location (site by site) of DG lesions were carefully recorded. Sub-gingiva…
Efficacy of methylprednisolone on pain, trismus and quality of life following surgical removal of mandibular third molars: a double-blind, split-mout…
2021
Background The objective of the present study was to compare the efficacy of different doses of methylprednisolone on postoperative sequelae and quality of life (QoL) following surgical removal of mandibular third molars (SRM3). Material and Methods Fifty-two patients (16 men and 36 women, mean age 25.9 years, range: 18-39) with bilateral impacted mandibular third molars were randomly allocated into intraoperative muscular injection of either 20mg, 30mg, 40mg methylprednisolone or saline injection. Baseline measurements were obtained preoperatively and compared with assessment after one day, three days, seven days and one month. Pain and trismus were estimated by visual analog scale score a…
Periodontal and biochemical bone metabolism assessment on a chronic oral anticoagulation population treated with dicoumarins
2016
Background The aim is to evaluate periodontal alteration and biochemical markers associated with bone turnover in chronic oral with dicoumarins anticoagulant treatment patients. Material and Methods 80 patients treated with oral anticoagulants were divided into 2 cohort: Group A (n=36) 6 month to 1 year with anticoagulant treatment and Group B (n=44) > 2 years with anticoagulant treatment. Clinical evaluation included: Clinical attachment level (CAL), plaque index (PI) and gingival index (GI). Analytically biochemical parameters of bone remodeling (calcium and phosphorus), formation (total acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin) and resorption (tartrate-resistant acid phosph…
