In spite of the remarkable success current preventive efforts, periodontitis remains one most prevalent diseases mankind. The objective this workshop was to review critical scientific evidence and develop recommendations improve: (i) plaque control at individual population level (oral hygiene), (ii) risk factors, (iii) delivery professional interventions.Discussions were informed by four systematic reviews covering aspects mechanical control, behavioural change interventions improve...
Abstract Background Over the last two decades, progress in prevention and treatment of caries periodontal diseases has been translated to better oral health improved tooth retention adult population. The ageing population increasing expectations good health‐related quality life older age pose formidable challenges clinical care healthcare systems. Aims objective this workshop was critically review scientific evidence develop specific recommendations to: (i) prevent loss retain function...
Background: The systemic inflammation in both metabolic syndrome (MetS) and periodontitis is a common denominator of the association these conditions with higher risk atherosclerosis. current study investigates whether periodontal therapy may reduce patients MetS cardiovascular risk. Methods: A parallel‐arm, double‐blind, randomized clinical trial 1‐year duration was conducted. Participants were to an experimental treatment group (ETG) (n = 82) that received plaque control root planing plus...
Abstract – Objective: To investigate the association between socioeconomic position and periodontal diseases among adolescents. Methods: Data were obtained from 9203 Chilean high school students. Clinical examinations included direct recordings of clinical attachment level necrotizing ulcerative gingival lesions. Students answered a questionnaire on various dimensions position. Seven outcomes analyzed. Logistic regression analyses used to identify variables associated with outcomes. Results:...
Abstract The notion of periodontal disease being the major cause tooth loss among adults was rooted in focal infection paradigm that dominated first half 20th century. This established largely by personal opinions, and it not until development indices mid‐1950s epidemiology gained momentum. Unfortunately, used suffered from a number flaws, whereby interpretation research results took form circular reasoning. It under this therapeutic preventive intervention for diseases became entirely...
The CD133 antigen is a marker of radio- and chemo-resistant stem cell populations in glioblastoma (GBM). O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) enzyme related with temozolomide (TMZ) resistance. Our propose to analyze the prognostic significance promoter methylation protein expression MGMT homogenous group GBM patients uniformly treated radiotherapy TMZ. possible connection between these markers was also investigated.
Background: Relatively little is known about the prevalence, severity, and determinants of clinical attachment loss among adolescents. Methods: A multi‐stage random sampling procedure was used to obtain a sample 9,203 high school students aged 12 21 years from Province Santiago, Chile. All but 41 were examined for in 6 sites first second molars incisors. The interviewed with respect tooth brushing habits, smoking dental visits, diabetic status. Logistic regression analyses assess relative...
The need for appraisal of oral health-related quality life has been increasingly recognized over the last decades. aims this study were to develop a Spanish version (OHIP-Sp) Oral Health Impact Profile and evaluate its convergent discriminative validity, internal consistency.The original 49-items OHIP was translated Spanish, revised understanding semantics by two independent dentists, then back English an bilingual dentist. data originated in cross sectional conducted among high school...
The need for treatment of destructive periodontal diseases is based on observations made by oral health professionals, who, prompted clinical findings, recommend treatment. We hypothesized that signs destruction have an impact the oral-health-related quality life adolescents. conducted a cross-sectional study among 9203 Chilean high school students sampled multistage random cluster procedure. recorded attachment levels and presence necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis. answered Spanish version...

López R, Dahlén G, Retamales C, Baelum V. Clustering of subgingival microbial species in adolescents with periodontitis. Eur J Oral Sci 2011; 119: 141–150. © 2011 It has become increasingly recognized that groups microorganisms interact within the plaque adult subjects is much less clear, however, whether consortia associated periodontitis are different early and more advanced cases To investigate this point further, was collected from six sites 87 73 controls samples were analyzed for...
Abstract Clinical practice guidelines aim to enhance the quality, equality and consistency of care but often demand more time than is available, rendering adherence impractical exceeding feasible resources. The 2017 introduction a new periodontal classification system by American Academy Periodontology (AAP) European Federation (EFP) sought refine clinical epidemiological practices serving as basis for investigations around world. Following this classification, EFP recommends supportive...
The past two decades have witnessed a large number of proposals for the classification periodontitis. These are all founded in an essentialistic disease concept, according to which periodontitis is link between causes and signs symptoms Essentialistic definitions necessarily rather imprecise thereby subject multiple interpretations. Consequently, it remains unknown what extent current knowledge regarding 'different' forms based on 'same' type patients. However, syndrome, clinical...
Dental treatment needs are commonly unmet among adolescents. It is therefore important to clarify the determinants of poor utilization dental services adolescents.A total 9,203 Chilean students aged 12-21 years provided information on visits, oral health related behavior, perceived status, and socio-demographic determinants. School headmasters monthly tuition annual fees. Based answers provided, three outcome variables were generated reflect whether respondent had visited dentist during past...
Abstract Aim The purpose of the present study was to assess extent which three periodontitis case definition systems proposed by van der V elden, T onetti & C laffey and P age E ke identify same cases in a population never‐treated adults with limited tradition for oral hygiene procedures. Material Methods Based on data clinical attachment level ( CAL ), probing pocket depth PD ) bleeding BOP four sites all teeth among 1,130 adult K enyans we classified according systems, occurrence...
Abstract Objectives :To investigate the association between periodontal disease parameters and coronary ischemic among 30–50‐year‐old Chileans. Material methods: Cases were 30–50‐year‐olds who hospitalized in one of four Cardiologic Units Santiago, Chile, for acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina or pectoris. Controls had undergone surgery due to gall bladder stones abdominal hernia. Information on blood pressure, serum cholesterol, body weight height, age, occupation, smoking,...
