  2. 1. Oral microbiota in relation to host traits, environment, and dental caries

    Author : Linda Eriksson; Pernilla Lif Holgerson; Ingegerd Johansson; Anders Esberg; Peter Lingström; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dental caries; NGS; S. mutans; sugar; sweet; diet; taste preference; adolescents; allele variation; SLC2A4; microbiota; saliva; tooth biofilm; kariologi; Cariology;

    Abstract : Background: Dental caries still appears at high prevalence worldwide. Disease distribution is skewed with more disease in socio-economically weak groups. However, also in populations considered as “low caries” there is a significant fraction with continuous disease development. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies on Pellicle and Early Dental Plaque in Relation to Periodontal Conditions

    Author : Stefan G Rüdiger; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bacterial adherence; in vitro pellicle; in vivo pellicle; periodontitis-associated bacteria; gingival crevicular fluid; plasma proteins; dental biofilm; experimental gingivitis; chronic periodontitis; periodontal pocket; exposed root surfaces;

    Abstract : Background and Hypothesis: Bacterial receptors in dental pellicles may influence colonisation and subsequent plaque formation. Studies on such receptors in the dental pellicles and bacterial adherence have mostly been performed in vitro and focused on proteins of salivary origin. READ MORE

  5. 3. 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. 4. Surface roughness : causal factors and its relation to bacterial adhesion

    Author : Georg Tellefsen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Abrasivity;

    Abstract : Inflammation around teeth and dental implants is considered to be due to microorganisms producing biofilm and thereby initiating the inflammatory reaction. The etiology is not yet fully understood though many risk factors have been identified, e.g. smoking, oral hygiene, stress etc. READ MORE

  7. 5. 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
