  2. 1. Gingival recession development in orthodontic patients : studies on gingival phenotype diagnostics, local and systemic biomarkers, and the impact of orthodontic treatment on gingival recession development

    Author : Dimitrios Kloukos; Andreas Stavropoulos; Christos Katsaros; Timo Peltomäki; Malmö universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Gingival recession refers to the apical displacement of the gingival margin from the cemento-enamel junction, resulting in exposure of the root of the tooth. Recessions can be localized, involving a single surface and tooth or may involve more tooth surfaces and/or teeth. READ MORE

  4. 2. Novel methods for diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease

    Author : Anna Svärd; Torbjörn Bengtsson; Tülay Lindberg; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Periodontitis; inflammation; Porphyromonas gingivalis; gingipains; biosensing; gold nanoparticles; antimicrobial treatment; NC8;

    Abstract : Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition affecting tooth-supportive structures, the periodontium. Gingival tissues respond to biofilm formation by initiating an inflammatory process. READ MORE

  5. 3. Gene Polymorphisms and Related Cell Markers in Periodontitis Lesions

    Author : Mauro Donati; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Allele; B-lymphocyte; cell-surface molecule; cytokine; gene expression; genotype; gingivitis; host response; inflammation; periodontal disease;

    Abstract : Inflammatory and immune reactions to microbial plaque are the predominant features of periodontitis. Epidemiological studies revealed that differences in periodontitis among individuals could not be explained by differences in oral hygiene alone and that not everybody is equally susceptible.

  6. 4. The role of peridontitis and hepatocyte growth factor in systemic inflammation

    Author : Johanna Lönn; Torbjörn Bengtsson; Fariba Nayeri; Anders Gustafsson; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hepatocyte growth factor; Porphyromonas gingivalis; periodontitis; systemic inflammation; coronary artery disease; chronic renal failure; lipoxin; Biomedicin; Biomedicine;

    Abstract : An essential goal in addressing inflammation is the return of tissue to homeostasis. Persistent infections often cause prolonged response and accumulation of immune cells, inducing imbalance in pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators, tissue destruction, and chronic inflammation.

  7. 5. Prostaglandin E synthases in periodontitis-affected gingival tissue and in gingival fibroblasts

    Author : Tove Båge; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : c-Jun N-terminal kinase;

    Abstract : Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease resulting in the destruction of the tissue and alveolar bone supporting the teeth and leading ultimately to tooth loss. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is an important inflammatory mediator in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. READ MORE
