Factors related to the quantity of subgingival calculus in proximal root surfaces
1999
The aim of this study was to determine the association between the quantity of subgingival calculus and the following factors: type and severity of periodontal disease, age, gender and tobacco consumption. A sample of 622 periodontal patients was studied. The radiographically detectable subgingival calculus in proximal root surfaces was recorded in periapical radiographs, considering the number of surfaces without calculus and the number of surfaces exhibiting deposits equal or greater than I mm. The association between the subgingival calculus and the factors under study was analyzed by distinct non-parametric tests. A statistically significant association was found between the absence/pre…
Association between rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis in an adult population – A cross sectional study
2021
Background This investigation was aimed to analyse the existence of an association between rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis among Indian subjects. Material and Methods This observational study included a total of 110 individuals between 18-78 years of age, which were divided equally into RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) and NRA (Non-Rheumatoid Arthritis) groups. General, Oral and a complete Periodontal examination included recording of Gingival Index (GI), Plaque index (PI), Pocket Probing Depth (PPD), Clinical attachment level (CAL) in a questionnaire form. Laboratory and rheumatologcal parameters like C-reactive protein (CRP), Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and Disease Activity Score…
Chronic periodontitis impairs polymorphonuclear leucocyte-endothelium cell interactions and oxidative stress in humans.
2018
Aim To evaluate the relationship between oxidative stress parameters in polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs) and PMN-endothelial cell interactions in patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) according to different degrees of severity of the disease. Materials and methods For this cross-sectional study, 182 subjects were divided into four groups according to degree of CP: without CP (n = 37), mild CP (n = 59), moderate CP (n = 51), and severe CP (n = 35). We determined anthropometric and biochemical variables, periodontal parameters, inflammatory markers, oxidative stress parameters (superoxide and mitochondrial membrane potential), and PMN-endothelium cell interactions (rolling flux, velocit…
Papillon Lefevre syndrome: bridge between Dermatologist and Dentist
2010
Papillon-Lefevre syndrome is a rare autosomal recessively inherited condition which shows features common to both dentistry and dermatology. This disease is characterized by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and severe periodon- titis. Therefore both the dentist and the dermatologist should be aware of the same because an early diagnosis of the syndrome can help to preserve the teeth by early institution of treatment, using a multidisciplinary approach. Here we present a case report of Papillon-Lefevre syndrome, along with a comprehensive review of the etiology, pathology, clinical features, differential diagnosis and management of the condition.
