This study provides evidence that non-surgical periodontal treatment contributes to improved glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.
Antioxidants (AO) are the first line of defence against free radical damage and are critical for maintaining optimum health and well being. The need for AOs becomes even more critical with increased exposure to free radicals generated by pollution, cigarette smoke, drugs, illness, stress and exercise. Antioxidant supplementation is an excellent way of improving free ... Read more
The existence of a rheumatic or other inflammatory systemic disease may promote Perodontitis (PD) in both its emergence and progress. However, there is evidence that PD maintains systemic diseases. In this review, we also discuss in detail the fact that oral bacterial infections and inflammation seem to be linked directly to the etiopathogenesis of rheumatoid ... Read more
Recent years have shown the presence of free radicals in causation and progression of various dental diseases and antioxidant usage in dental therapeutics. Antioxidant micronutrients are important not only for limiting oxidative and tissue damage, but also in preventing increased cytokine production, which is a result of prolonged activation of the immune response. There has ... Read more
Periodontal disease (PDD) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and mortality in many studies, while other studies have begun to suggest an association of PDD with Alzheimer's disease (AD). This paper discusses how infectious pathogens and systemic infection may play a role in AD. The roles of infection and inflammation are ... Read more
Recently, chronic periodontitis has been associated with several systemic diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD.) In this article we review the pathogenesis of chronic periodontitis and the role of inflammation in AD. In addition, we propose several potential mechanisms through which chronic periodontitis can possibly contributes to the clinical onset and progression of AD. Because chronic ... Read more
Men in their 30s to mid-40s with chronic periodontal disease (CPD) exhibited an increase in mild and moderate to severe erectile dysfunction (ED) in this study. These preliminary findings are consistent with theories that associate these conditions with systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and atherosclerosis. The study population consisted of 305 men who filled the Sexual ... Read more
OBJECTIVES: The comonomer triethyleneglycoldimethacrylate (TEGDMA) is a commonly used constituent of resin-based dental materials. Upon placement, light-cured dental polymers may release a wide spectrum of residual compounds due to incomplete monomer-conversion during polymerization. Apart from liberating unreacted monomers, additional compound release might occur due to mechanical wear and enzymatic degradation on the salivary surface of ... Read more
This study examines cytotoxicity of poly-methylmethacrylate (PMMA)-based dental temporary filling resin to dental pulp cells, and the potential amelioration of the toxicity with an anti-oxidant amino-acid, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC). These results suggest that the decreased cell viability and the nearly completely suppressed odontoblast-like cell phenotype of dental pulp cells cultured on PMMA dental resin can be ... Read more
Resilon and Activ GP were developed to improve the seal of root canal filling. Even though Resilon and Activ GP have been on the market, there are few studies to investigate their biocompatibility. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of Activ GP and Resilon cones in a cell culture system. The conclusion: ... Read more
