Air pollutants can influence local and systemic inflammation, oxidative stress microbiome composition. Therefore, air pollution may potentially represent an unexplored modifiable risk indicator for periodontitis. The aim of the current cross-sectional study was to investigate epidemiological association between outdoor periodontitis in a representative sample South Korean population.A total 42,020 individuals, which were 35.2 million Koreans, examined. mean annual levels particulate matter...
Abstract Aim As an infection‐driven inflammatory disease, periodontitis could lead to a reactive increase in platelet count. This mechanism partially mediate the well‐documented association between and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The aim of this cross‐sectional study was test presence count representative sample South Korea population. Materials methods A total 5,197 subjects 34.9 million adults were examined. Multivariate regression analyses applied controlling for age, gender,...
Abstract Aim Due to its potential influence systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, predispose bacterial infections, sleep duration could potentially be a risk factor for periodontitis. The aim of this cross‐sectional study was evaluate if there in 2012 an association between periodontitis representative sample the South Korean population. Materials Methods A total 5812 subjects 39.4 million adults were examined. Multivariate logistic regressions applied controlling age, gender,...
Abstract Aim While the short‐term effects of hormonal events on gingival inflammation have been well described, long‐term periodontium received less attention. The aim this cross‐sectional population‐based study was to evaluate association between hormone‐related and periodontitis in a representative sample postmenopausal women South Korea. Materials Methods A total 10,273 6.1 million Koreans were examined. Periodontitis severe defined according Community Periodontal Index (CPI ≧ 3 CPI = 4,...
Abstract Aim The present multi‐centre randomized clinical trial with 12 months of follow‐up aimed at studying the added effect sub‐marginal instrumentation before surgical treatment peri‐implantitis. Materials and Methods Forty‐two patients diagnosed peri‐implantitis were recruited. After a behavioural intervention phase including oral hygiene instructions, to either receiving supra‐ on their affected implants (control group: 21 29 implants) or only supra‐marginal (test 24 implants),...
Abstract Objectives Limited studies are available testing through multiple regression models the association between two main oral diseases: dental caries and periodontitis. The aim of this cross-sectional population-based study was to verify whether periodontitis co-occur in a representative sample South Korea population. Materials methods A total 23,405 subjects 36.2 million adults (KNHANES) were examined. Univariate analyses using 7 different applied, controlling for age, gender, smoking...
In some patients, the resolution of severe maxillary atrophies can be hardly achieved without use zygomatic implants. Although many scientific studies have already demonstrated excellent immediate stability in long term, implants is not yet widespread. Among complications this technique, most threatening risk damaging eyeball or nerve. The navigator system as a surgical aid for implant placement allows to control, at any time, position drill bone, avoiding injury ocular and nervous...
The gold standard for the diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is polysomnography, whose access however reduced by costs and limited availability, so that additional diagnostic tests are needed.To analyze accuracy Airway Adult Test (OAAT) compared to polysomnography OSA in adult patients.Ninety patients affected verified with (AHI ≥ 5) ten healthy patients, randomly selected, were included all interviewed one blind examiner OAAT questions.The Spearman rho, evaluated measure correlation...
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect sterilization on retention forces lithium disilicate (LD) and polymer‐infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) crowns bonded titanium base (Ti‐base) abutments. Materials methods Forty LD 40 PICN were milled then 80 Ti‐bases with two resin composite cements: Multilink Hybrid Abutment (mh) Panavia V5 (pv) for a total 8 groups ( n = 10). Half specimens (test) underwent an autoclaving protocol (pressure 1.1 bar, 121°C, 20.5 min)...
The aim of this study was to evaluate suppuration on palpation, used as a diagnostic test, in the detection peri-implantitis.A total 65 patients with 267 implants were examined. Clinical inspection performed by two blinded examiners: first measured and second conducted complete clinical examination. A third examiner combined previously collected information radiographic data diagnosed according European Federation Periodontology/American Academy Periodontology (EFP/AAP) classification...
