Experimental periodontal disease treatment by subgingigval irrigation with tetracycline hidrochloride in rats

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare subgingival irrigation with tetracycline hydrochloride (TTC-HCL) as adjunctive treatment to scaling and root planning (SRP) on induced periodontitis in rats. Material and Methods: In 60 rats, periodontal disease was ligature-induced at the mandibular left first molar. After 7 days, the ligature was removed and all animals were submitted to SRP, and divided into 2 groups according to the following treatment: C (n=30) – subgingival irrigation with 1 mL of saline; T (n=30) – subgingival irrigation with 1 mL of TTC-HCL (50 mg/mL). Ten animals in each group were euthanized at 7, 15 and 30 days posttreatment. The histometric values were statistically analyzed (p<0.05). Results: In the histometric analysis, at 7, 15 and 30 days, Group T (0.72±0.05 mm2, 0.57±0.14 mm2, 0.62±0.07 mm2), showed less bone loss (p<0.05) than Group C (1.35±0.25 mm2; 1.40±0.31 mm2; 1.29±0.27 mm2), respectively. Conclusions: Subgingival irrigation with TTC-HCL was an effective adjunctive treatment for periodontal disease induced in rats.

Non-inflammatory destructive periodontal disease: a clinical, microbiological, immunological and genetic investigation

Periodontitis comprises a group of multifactorial diseases in which periodontopathogens accumulate in dental plaque and trigger host chronic inflammatory and immune responses against periodontal structures, which are determinant to the disease outcome. Although unusual cases of non-inflammatory destructive periodontal disease (NIDPD) are described, their pathogenesis remains unknown. A unique NIDPD case was investigated by clinical, microbiological, immunological and genetic tools. The patient, a non-smoking dental surgeon with excessive oral hygiene practice, presented a generalized bone resorption and tooth mobility, but not gingival inflammation or occlusion problems. No hematological, immunological or endocrine alterations were found. No periodontopathogens (A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. gingivalis, F. nucleatum and T. denticola) or viruses (HCMV, EBV-1 and HSV-1) were detected, along with levels of IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha in GCF compatible with healthy tissues. Conversely ALP, ACP and RANKL GCF levels were similar to diseased periodontal sites. Genetic investigation demonstrated that the patient carried some SNPs, as well HLA-DR4 (*0404) and HLA-B27 alleles, considered risk factors for bone loss. Then, a less vigorous and diminished frequency of toothbrushing was recommended to the patient, resulting in the arrest of alveolar bone loss, associated with the return of ALP, ACP and RANKL in GCF to normality levels. In conclusion, the unusual case presented here is compatible with the previous description of NIDPD, and the results that a possible combination of excessive force and frequency of mechanical stimulation with a potentially bone loss prone genotype could result in the alveolar bone loss seen in NIDPD.

Periodontal disease and diabetes mellitus

Periodontal disease (PD) is one of the most commonly known human chronic disorders. The relationship between PD and several systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus (DM) has been increasingly recognized over the past decades. Objective The purpose of this review is to provide the reader with knowledge concerning the relationship between PD and DM. Many articles have been published in the English and Portuguese literature over the last 50 years examining the relationship between these two chronic diseases. Data interpretation is often confounded by varying definitions of DM, PD and different clinical criteria were applied to determine the prevalence, extent and severity of PD, levels of glycemic control and diabetes-related complications. Methods This paper provides a broad overview of the predominant findings from research conducted using the BBO (Bibliografia Brasileira de Odontologia), MEDLINE, LILACS and PubMed for Controlled Trials databases, in English and Portuguese languages published from 1960 to October 2012. Primary research reports on investigations of relationships between DM/DM control, PD/periodontal treatment and PD/DM/diabetes-related complications identified relevant papers and meta-analyses published in this period. Results 7This paper describes the relationship between PD and DM and answers the following questions: 1- The effect of DM on PD, 2- The effects of glycemic control on PD and 3- The effects of PD on glycemic control and on diabetes-related complications. Conclusions The scientific evidence reviewed supports diabetes having an adverse effect on periodontal health and PD having an adverse effect on glycemic control and on diabetes-related complications. Further research is needed to clarify these relationships and larger, prospective, controlled trials with ethnically diverse populations are warranted to establish that treating PD can positively influence glycemic control and possibly reduce the burden of diabetes-related complications.

[Impact of tobacco use on the periodontium--an update. Part 2: Clinical and radiographic changes in the periodontium and effects on periodontal and implant therapy]

This third part of a series of publications from the Swiss task force "Smoking--Intervention in the private dental office" on the topic "tobacco use and dental medicine" describes the clinical and radiographic changes of the periodontium within smokers as well as the consequences of tobacco use on periodontal and implant therapy. With increased use of tobacco, patients show higher periodontal probing depths, increased clinical attachment loss, more alveolar bone resorption, a higher prevalence of gingival recessions, and a higher risk for tooth loss. In contrast to this, with smokers, the clinical characteristics of gingival inflammation or bleeding on periodontal probing are less established. Smokers show less positive results after conventional, surgical and regenerative periodontal therapy. The benefits of mucogingval surgery are reduced and less successful in smokers. Moreover, smoking impairs the osseointegration of oral implants and is at least partly responsible for a majority of biological complications in implant dentistry, such as periimplantitis. Based on the present understanding of periodontal diseases, the clinical findings, and the specific therapeutic outcomes with smokers, it appears to be reasonable, next to the current classification of periodontal diseases, to use the term "smokers periodontitis".

Demographic and social factors which influence periodontal disease using the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES)

Periodontal diseases include the various forms of gingivitis and periodontitis. Scientific literature submits 80% of the population suffers from some form of periodontal disease. The comparison of studies measuring periodontal disease is difficult because researchers use various parameters and indexes to define disease severity. The purposes of this paper were to examine the associations of gingival bleeding and 3 or more millimeters periodontal attachment loss, and age, sex, income, race/ethnicity, current tobacco use, dental visits, health insurance, stroke, heart attack, and diabetes using the periodontal examination population from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2004. ^ When all risk factors were analyzed in the model as a whole sex, race/ethnicity, poverty, and education were statistically significant for bleeding on probing. When all risk factors were analyzed in the model as a whole sex, age, and education were statistically significant for loss of attachment. ^

Disease risk factors and humoral antibody response to periodontal-associated pathogens: A model to evaluate periodontal disease in older adults

Periodontal diseases (PD) are infectious, inflammatory, and tissue destructive events which affect the periodontal ligament that surround and support the teeth. Periodontal diseases are the major cause of tooth loss after age 35, with gingivitis and periodontitis affecting 75% of the adult population. A select group of bacterial organisms are associated with periodontal pathogenesis. There is a direct association between oral hygiene and prevention of PD. The importance of genetic differences and host immune response capabilities in determining host, susceptibility or resistance to PD has not been established. This study examined the risk factors and serum (humoral) immune response to periodontal diseased-associated pathogens in a 55 to 80+ year old South Texas study sample with PD. This study sample was described by: age, sex, ethnicity, the socioeconomic factors marital status, income and occupation, IgG, IgA, IgM immunoglobulin status, and the autoimmune response markers rheumatoid factor (RF) and antinuclear antibody (ANA). These variables were used to determine the risk factors associated with development of PD. Serum IgG, IgA, IgM antibodies to bacterial antigens provided evidence for disease exposure.^ A causal model for PD was constructed from associations for risk factors (ethnicity, marital status, income, and occupation) with dental exam and periodontitis. The multiple correlation between PD and ethnicity, income and dental exam was significant. Hispanics of low income were least likely to have had a dental exam in the last year and most likely to have PD. The etiologic agents for PD, as evidenced by elevated humoral antibody responses, were the Gram negative microorganisms Bacteroides gingivalis, serotypes FDC381 and SUNYaBA7A1-28, and Wolinella recta. Recommendation for a PD prevention and control program are provided. ^

Influencia de las conductas adaptativas sobre el estado periodontal

Las enfermedades periodontales son infecciones asociadas a microorganismos patogénicos y alteraciones en la respuesta del huésped. Se desarrollan cuando se produce un desequilibrio entre los microorganismos y los mecanismos de defensa del individuo. Los factores psicosociales como el estrés y las conductas de afrontamiento inadecuadas al mismo pueden ejercer efectos inmunosupresivos, incrementando la susceptibilidad a periodontitis. La resiliencia es la capacidad de autosostén para enfrentar situaciones estresantes, es decir que es la capacidad de encarar los problemas en forma activa con conductas de afrontamiento adecuadas, para atenuar los efectos del estrés y recuperarse superando el problema. La evidencia demuestra que hay una clara asociación entre las enfermedades periodontales y las conductas de afrontamiento frente al estrés

Tabaquismo : su influencia sobre la enfermedad periodontal

Las enfermedades periodontales son infecciones asociadas a microorganismos patogénicos y alteraciones en la respuesta del huesped. Se desarrollan cuando se produce un desequilibrio entre los microorganismos y los mecanismos de defensa del individuo. Los factores ambientales como el tabaquismo pueden ejercer efectos inmunosupresivos, medioambientales negativos, incrementando la susceptibilidad a periodontitis. La evidencia demuestra que hay una clara asociación entre las enfermedades periodontales y el tabaquismo.

Sofrimento e Adaptação: Aspectos Sociais e Psico-afetivos de Pacientes com Doença Periodontal Crônica

OS OBJETIVOS DESTE ESTUDO FORAM: CARACTERIZAR A POPULAÇÃO DE PACIENTES DE UMA CLÍNICA-ESCOLA; INVESTIGAR OS ASPECTOS PSICO-AFETIVOS ASSOCIADOS ÀS DOENÇAS PERIODONTAIS DESSES PACIENTES, ALÉM DOS RECURSOS DEFENSIVOS UTILIZADOS POR ELES. MÉTODO: LEVANTOU-SE DADOS SÓCIO-DEMOGRÁFICOS, DE SAÚDE GERAL E PERIODONTAL DE 789 PACIENTES ATENDIDOS NUM DEPARTAMENTO DE PERIODONTIA DE UMA CLÍNICA-ESCOLA DE ODONTOLOGIA, DADOS ESTES QUE CONSTITUÍRAM A ETAPA QUANTITATIVA DO ESTUDO. ESSA CARACTERIZAÇÃO FOI FEITA ATRAVÉS DE PLANILHAS ESPECIALMENTE ELABORADAS PARA A PESQUISA. A PARTIR DESSAS PLANILHAS, FOI SELECIONADA UMA SUB-AMOSTRA DE 273 PACIENTES QUE APRESENTARAM QUEIXAS EM TRÊS OU MAIS SISTEMAS ORGÂNICOS, ALÉM DA QUEIXA PERIODONTAL, OS QUAIS FORAM DENOMINADOS DE PACIENTES POLI-QUEIXOSOS. UMA TERCEIRA SUB-AMOSTRA INTEGROU 59 PACIENTES POLI-QUEIXOSOS, DIAGNOSTICADOS COM DOENÇA LEVE A MODERADA OU LEVE A SEVERA. DESSES PACIENTES, TRÊS FORAM ENTREVISTADOS E INTEGRARAM A AMOSTRA DA ETAPA QUALITATIVA DA PESQUISA. OS RESULTADOS INDICARAM QUE ENTRE PACIENTES POLI-QUEIXOSOS NÃO FOI ENCONTRADA CORRELAÇÃO SIGNIFICATIVA ENTRE DOENÇA PERIODONTAL LEVE A MODERADA OU LEVE A SEVERA COM GÊNERO, IDADE, ESTADO CIVIL, GRAU DE INSTRUÇÃO OU ATIVIDADE LABORAL. TAMBÉM NÃO HOUVE RELAÇÃO SIGNIFICATIVA QUANTO À PRESENÇA DE TABAGISMO, BRUXISMO, ONICOFAGIA E XEROSTOMIA. VERIFICAMOS QUE A DOENÇA PERIODONTAL CRÔNICA TEM SUAS ORIGENS NAS RELAÇÕES OBJETAIS DA MAIS TENRA INFÂNCIA E QUE AS ANSIEDADES ESQUIZO-PARANÓIDES QUE CARACTERIZAM ESSAS PRIMEIRAS RELAÇÕES, CONTINUAM PERMEANDO AS RELAÇÕES DURANTE TODA A VIDA DAS PACIENTES. COMO OS RECURSOS DEFENSIVOS UTILIZADOS SÃO PSIQUICAMENTE POUCO EVOLUÍDOS, O EQUILÍBRIO, A HOMEOSTASE É ENCONTRADA NA DOENÇA. CONCLUÍMOS QUE A DINÂMICA INTRA-PSÍQUICA PODE ESTAR ASSOCIADA NÃO SÓ À DOENÇA PERIODONTAL, MAS TAMBÉM AO ESTADO DE SAÚDE GERAL DESSES PACIENTES.
