The role of Interleukin-1 genes in the association between chronic periodontitis
and atherosclerosis has been under debate. The purpose of this study is to compare the existence of
interleukin1 genes polymorphism in the chronic periodontitis subjects with and without atherosclerosis.
Background& Objective: C-reactive protein (CRP) is a well-known acute-reactant produced in response
of inflammation. The aim of the study is to assess the relationship between body mass index, C-reactive
protein levels, periodontal diseases and its severity among periodontal patients in compare with a control
group of healthy normal BMI persons, among young adults with both genders.
This study is carried out by using PCR technique to assess the efficacy of
systemic azithromycin as a supplement to scaling and root planning (SRP) in the treatment of aggressive
periodontitis (AgP) in three months follow up on the periodontal pathogens compared with a control
group.
Recent studies has focused on the impact of periodontal disease on the general
health like cardiovascular disease and hypertension and their interactions. We aimed to study several
vascular thrombotic markers levels in patients with chronic periodo
ntitis and hypertension.
Periodontitis in hypertensives was associated with an elevation in platelets count and
fibrinogen concomitantly with an increase in blood glucose levels and body mass index,in addition to
greater pocket probing depth and clinical attachment loss, compared with periodontitis only.These results
shed the light on periodontitis as a risk indicator for hypertension and thrombotic propensity in
susceptible individuals.
Chronic Periodontitis is accompanied with subacute systemic inflammatory
responses and a procoagulant state which manifests in changes of some serological vascular thrombotic
markers levels. This study aimed to evaluate several vascular thrombotic markers levels in patients with
chronic periodontitis.
Many methods are used to treat Periodontitis such as scaling and root planing
(SRP) with hand instruments, Sonic and Ultrasonic instruments. Recently, lasers are used in periodontal.
The aim of the study is to compare the Efficiency of Er:YAG Laser
Combined with Scaling and Root
Planing in Chronic Periodontitis Treatment.
Experimentally induced inflammation of the gingiva of wistar rats Shown
remarkable increase in prostaglandins E. Adminstration of endometacin drug at
the stage of acut inflammation has led to a dicrease of prostaglandins E level in
the gingiva and
the improvement of the periodontal inflammation and the general
state of the animal .
This research has proved the importance of increasing biosynthesis of
prostaglandin E (and consequently the increase of prostaglandin E in the gingiva)
in the begening and development of periodontal inflammation , in addition to the
importance using prostaglandins synthesis inhibitors in the treatment of this
disease .
