  2. 6. Periodontal disease and cognitive disorders

    Author : Jacob Holmer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Periodontitis and tooth loss have been suggested to be putative aetiological risk factors for dementia and cognitive dysfunction. The identification of new dementia risk factors could lead to new preventive strategies for dementia. READ MORE

  4. 7. Neutrophil recruitment in periodontal disease

    Author : Agnes Dahlstrand Rudin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neutrophil; periodontitis; P. gingivalis; F. nucleatum; SCFA; FFAR2; CD177; A1AT;

    Abstract : Neutrophils are the first immune cells to arrive in infected or injured tissues, where they engulf microbes and clean up cell debris. Periodontitis is one of the typical symptoms of both neutropenia and defect neutrophil functionality, suggesting an important role for these cells in maintenance of periodontal health. READ MORE

  5. 8. Associations between oral biofilm, periodontal disease, and systemic health : with a focus on atherosclerosis and breast cancer

    Author : Maha Yakob; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : periodontal disease;

    Abstract : The general hypothesis of this series of studies was that oral infections, particularly periodontal disease, by triggering inflammatory reactions detrimentally affect systemic health where inflammations are known to play a role in the pathogenesis, namely cardiovascular disease and cancer. Consequently, the general aim was to study the association between oral biofilm and certain oral micro-organisms, periodontal disease, and selected inflammatory markers with a focus on atherosclerosis and breast cancer (BC).

  6. 9. Clinical, microbiological and immunological effects of antiseptics in periodontal treatment

    Author : Anton Vitt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : periodontal disease;

    Abstract : Periodontal diseases are characterized by high prevalence in many populations and the chronic and progressive course of the disease.

    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Periodontitis and coronary artery disease (CAD) are highly prevalent in Sweden’s population; both diseases have complicated pathogeneses and clinical manifestations due to immune-system triggered inflammation. Research in recent years reported that inflammation is a significant active participant in many chronic diseases. READ MORE
