<h3>Background</h3> Chronic inflammation from any source is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Periodontitis a possible trigger of chronic inflammation. We investigated the association between periodontitis and coronary heart disease (CHD), focusing on microbiological aspects. <h3>Methods</h3> A total 789 subjects (263 patients angiographically confirmed, stable CHD 526 population-based, age- sex-matched controls without history CHD) were included in Coronary Event Periodontal...
The precise mode of transmission and the natural reservoir for Helicobacter pylori are unknown. PCR assays have proved to be highly sensitive specific regarded as method choice detecting H. DNA in oral cavity. aim this study was investigate prevalence distribution Forty-two patients undergoing gastroscopy were investigated presence dental plaque saliva by nested PCR, stomach 13C-urea breath test. Samples tested comprised from molars, premolars incisors saliva. Two sets primers homologous...
To attain a collective expert opinion on the use of air powder waterjet technology (APWT) with erythritol and glycine powders in prophylaxis therapy periodontal peri-implant diseases.
Abstract Objectives: Various surgical techniques have been proposed for coverage of denuded root surfaces. The aim this study was to evaluate a comparison coronally repositioned flap procedure with or without the use enamel matrix proteins in treatment recession defects. Material and methods: This an intra‐individual longitudinal test 12 months duration conducted as blinded, split‐mouth, placebo‐controlled randomised design. It performed 2 dental schools. 36 patients, aged 22–62 years,...
Abstract Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect Emdogain ® (EMD), used for periodontal regeneration, on growth pathogens like Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans , Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia. For comparison, we studied EMD several microbes associated with other oral diseases as well its non‐pathogenic inhabitants. Methods: Freshly prepared or vehicle propylene glycol alginate (PGA) alone were added calibrated suspensions microbes. As a control,...
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate a comparison the coronally advanced flap procedure with or without use enamel matrix proteins in treatment recession defects. Methods: This 2‐year conducted as blinded, split‐mouth, placebo‐controlled, and randomized design. Thirty patients from two dental schools paired buccal defects were chosen. Surgical coverage performed technique. One site additionally treated derivative (EMD) other placebo (propylene glycol alginate [PGA]). A blinded...
Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the potential ultra short echo time imaging for assessment caries lesions and early demineralization. 12 patients with suspected underwent a dental magnetic resonance investigation comprising (echo = 50 μs) spin imaging. Before imaging, all conventional clinical including visual teeth as well x‐ray All identifiable in could be clearly identified images, but only about 19% were visible images. In lesions, more delineated images than This...
Background: Dietary fibre plays a crucial role in metabolic regulation, inflammation, and microbiome composition. However, its impact on systemic oral health, particularly periodontitis, remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of high- low-fibre diets body composition, glycaemic control, microbiome, metabolome murine model experimental periodontitis. Methods: Thirty-six male C57BL/6 mice were randomised to high-fibre (40% fibre) or (5% diet for eight weeks. Body weight, fat...
Ameloblastin (AMBN) was originally believed to be an enamel‐specific extracellular matrix glycoprotein secreted by ameloblasts. Recently, AMBN expression also detected in developing mesenchymal dental hard tissues, trauma‐induced reparative dentin, and during early craniofacial bone formation. The function structure of still remain ambiguous, there are no known proteins with similar primary sequences. We therefore performed a bio‐informatic analysis model ab initio the three‐dimensional...
Based on previous results showing the expression of ameloblastin (Ambn; amelin) in formation mesenchymal dental hard tissues, we investigated its presence during bone development. Immunohistochemistry (IHC), situ hybridization (ISH), and reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT–PCR) were used to investigate protein mRNA craniofacial development rats. Tissue samples collected embryonic day 18 from days 2–28 postnatally. IHC revealed at early postnatal stages with different patterns...
Tamburstuen MV, Reppe S, Spahr A, Sabetrasekh R, Kvalheim G, Slaby I, Syversen U, Lyngstadaas SP, Reseland JE. Ameloblastin promotes bone growth by enhancing proliferation of progenitor cells and stimulating immunoregulators. Eur J Oral Sci 2010; 118: 451–459. © 2010 In this study, we examined the role enamel matrix protein, ameloblastin, in remodelling, attempted to identify some molecular mechanisms involved these processes. The effects recombinant ameloblastin (rAmbn) were tested vivo...
Abstract Aim To assess the efficacy of adjunct use a subgingival erythritol powder air‐polishing device (EPAP) in comparison to conventional instrumentation alone during initial non‐surgical periodontal therapy. Materials and Methods Twenty‐one patients with generalized Stages 2 3 grade B periodontitis were included this single centre, blinded, split‐mouth, randomized clinical trial. Teeth on control side treated hand ultrasonic instrumentation, while those contralateral test was using EPAP...
Recent studies have indicated that cementum formation can be induced when dental follicular cells are exposed to enamel matrix. The purpose of the present investigation was study this and appearance involved, including their expression collagen types alpha1(I), alpha1(II) alpha1(III) mRNAs, during process by means light microscopy in situ hybridisation. mandibular first molars 5-d-old rats were surgically taken out, epithelium removed, then crowns re-inserted with occlusal surface downwards...
