  2. 1. Regeneration in periodontal and endosseous implant treatment

    Author : Lisa Mayfield; Lunds universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Odontology; guided tissue regeneration; Pressure sensitive periodontal probe; intraosseous defects; guided bone regeneration; EDTA root surface conditioning; bioabsorbable membrane; stomatology; Odontologi;

    Abstract : In a series of clinical studies regenerative procedures for periodontal disease treatment were evaluated. A reproducibility study of probing measurements using a manual periodontal probe and 3 pressure-sensitive probes showed that measurements obtained using the manual probe were the most repeatable.

  4. 2. Cellular and molecular responses of periodontal connective tissue cells to Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans cytolethal distending toxin

    Author : Georgios N. Belibasakis; Sotirios Kalfas; Ulf H. Lerner; Anders Johansson; Veli-Jukka Uitto; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans; cytolethal distending toxin; periodontal connective tissue cells; localized aggressive periodontitis; growth arrest; bone resorption; receptor activator of NF-κB ligand; osteoprotegerin; pro-inflammatory cytokines; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; odontologi; Odontology;

    Abstract : Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is present in elevated proportions and numbers in dental bacterial biofilms of patients with localized aggressive periodontitis. This variant of periodontal disease, occurring in adolescents and young adults, is characterized by rapid and severe destruction of the connective tissues and bone supporting the teeth, eventually culminating in tooth loss.

  5. 3. Inflammatory response in periodontal tissue in children with Down syndrome

    Author : Georgios Tsilingaridis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Periodontal diseases are inflammatory diseases affecting the supporting tissues of the teeth. Subjects with Down syndrome have a higher prevalence of periodontal disease compared to healthy controls. Periodontal disease in Down syndrome is considered to be multifactorial, although the aetiology is uncertain. READ MORE

  6. 4. On tissue reactions to dentin as a bone substitute material

    Author : Payam Farzad; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Grafted dentin; tissue reaction; bone blocks; dental implants; experimental study;

    Abstract : Background Reconstruction of the jaws due to resorption of the alveolar crest may require bone augmentation prior to installation of endosseous implants. Active research on new bone graft materials with bone regeneration ability equivalent to autogenous bone but without the limitations of allogenic, xenogenic and synthetic bone are constantly ongoing.

  7. 5. Studies on periodontitis and analyses of individuals at risk for periodontal diseases

    Author : Henrik Jansson; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; antibiotics; diabetes mellitus; genotype; periodontal disease; risk factor;

    Abstract : Parodontit är en infektionssjukdom som orsakas av munhålans normala bakterieflora samt faktorer i infektionsförsvaret. Det inflammatoriska svaret fungerar som ett skydd för värden men är samtidigt vävnadsnedbrytande. Detta är anledningen till förlust av tandens stödjevävnader. READ MORE
