    Keywords : Miswak; Salvadora persica; chewing stick; traditional medicine; gingivitis; periodontitis; dental plaque; plaque pH; salivary flow; acid production; microelectrodes; oral hygiene; subgingival microbiota; antibacterial agent; isothiocyanate; chromatography; Porphyromonas gingivalis; Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans;

    Abstract : Mechanical removal of dental plaque is regarded as an effective means of controlling the progression of dental caries and periodontal disease. The habitual use of chewing sticks (Miswak) as an oral hygiene method is still wildly spread throughout parts of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. READ MORE

  4. 17. Saliva: a cell suspension of epithelial cells harboring the antimicrobial peptide LL-37 and the growth factor EGF

    Author : Alexandra Aidoukovitch; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Saliva; Oral health; Innate immunity; Cathelicidin; LL-37; Host defense peptides; EGF; Saliva; Oral health; Innate immunity; Cathelicidin; LL-37; Host defence peptides; EGF;

    Abstract : Saliva plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health through its physical and chemical properties that provide various protective functions. One of its essential components is the human host defense peptide LL-37, which is produced by immune cells and epithelial cells, and participates in the first line of defense against pathogens.

  5. 18. Novel Insights into Inflammatory Disturbed Bone Remodelling

    Author : Elin Kindstedt; Pernilla Lundberg; Östen Ljunggren; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bone; osteoblast; osteoclast; chemokines; CCL11; periodontitis; rheumatoid arthritis; innate lympoid cells; odontologi; Odontology; immunologi; Immunology; biology; biologi; reumatologi; rheumatology;

    Abstract : Bone is a dynamic tissue that is continuously remodelled, a process that requires equal amounts of osteoclastic bone resorption and osteoblastic bone formation. Inflammation may disturb the equilibrium and result in local and/or systemic bone loss. Negative bone mass balance occurs in several chronic inflammatory diseases, e.g. READ MORE

  6. 19. On the role of plasma proteins in bacterial adhesion to dental surfaces

    Author : Stefan G Rüdiger; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Bacterial receptors in dental pellicles could influence colonisation and subsequent plaque formation. Studies of such receptors in dental pellicles and bacterial adherence have often focused on proteins of salivary origin. We have only a limited knowledge of the receptor functions of plasma proteins reaching the pellicle via the crevicular fluid. READ MORE

  7. 20. Periodontal treatment strategies in general dentistry

    Author : Aleksandar Milosavljevic; Malmö universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Periodontal Diseases; Parodontala sjukdomar; Behandling; Diagnos;

    Abstract : Periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis and chronic periodontitis,are infectious diseases that are common in the adult population. InSweden, treatment is mostly provided in general dentistry by generaldental practitioners (GDPs) and dental hygienists (DHs). READ MORE
