  2. 16. Influence of a dental ceramic and a calcium aluminate cement on dental biofilm formation and gingival inflammatory response

    Author : Katarina Konradsson; Jan van Dijken; Rolf Claesson; Lars Gahnberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : cements; ceramics; cytotoxicity; dental biofilm; gingivitis; interleukin-1; oral hygiene; resin composite;

    Abstract : Dental restorative materials interact with their surrounding oral environment. Interaction factors can be release of toxic components and/or effects on biofilm formation and gingiva. In the end of the nineties, a calcium aluminate cement (CAC) was manufactured as a “bioceramic” alternative to resin composite. READ MORE

  5. 18. Anxiety, exhaustion and depression in relation to periodontal diseases

    Author : Annsofi Johannsen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Anxiety; stress; depression; gingival inflammation; periodontal diseases; smoking; inflammatory markers; cortisol; HPA axis;

    Abstract : Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis), are inflammatory processes of the gingiva and supporting structures of the teeth induced by a microbial biofilm. In periodontitis this inflammatory process causes tissue degradation and eventually tooths loss. READ MORE

  6. 19. Progression of periodontitis and influence of periodontal bacteria on release of inflammatory markers in Swedish adults

    Author : Stella Airila-Månsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Periodontal diseases; questionnaires; x-rays; disease progression; periodontal pathogens; gingival crevicular fluid; inflammation mediators; matrix metalloproteinases;

    Abstract : Periodontitis is a common infectious disease worldwide. An estimated 15-35% of the adult population in industrialized countries suffers from this multifactorial disease. The percentage of people affected by periodontal disease increases with age, reaching a peak at the age of 5060 years. READ MORE

    Author : Lennart Boström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : gingival crevicular fluid; IL-1[beta]; IL-1ra; Il-6; periodontal bone height; periodontal surgery; periodontopathogens; TNF-[alpha]; smoking;

    Abstract : The main aim of the thesis was to evaluate the influence of smoking on the inflammatory response in periodontal disease. The overall study population included 347 patients: 224 men and 123 women, aged between 31-86 years, with moderate to severe periodontal disease. READ MORE
