Chronic periodontitis (CP) is an inflammatory disease, characterized by gingivitis,
and affecting tooth supporting tissues, forming periodontal pockets with associated
attachment loss, alveolar bone resorption. It is common in adults, but can also
occur at any
age. The rate of disease progression may be influenced by local, systemic conditions,
and/or environmental factors that alter the normal host response to bacterial plaque, and
affect the susceptibility to disease.It is suggested that periodontitis is partially associated
by genetic factors, that many genes are involved in inflammation susceptibility, mainly
include the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene that is implicated in bone metabolism and the
host immune response.
80 Syrian subjects were recruited for vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism study,
and allocated in two groups: 50 diagnosed with CP and mean age was (64 ± 0.722) years,
30 matched controls. DNA was isolated from peripheral blood cells, and genotyping was
performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and restriction fragment length
polymorphism analysis (RFLP) by using FokI enzyme.
By using Chi square test, no significant differences were found between the study
groups in the frequencies of alleles and genotypes at FokI position of VDR gene, age and
sex. These findings suggest that the investigated factors are not associated with periodontal
disease in this studied sample of Syrian population.
This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and microbiological effect
of fluoride in drinking water on the severity of chronic periodontitis
and its effect on the relationship between diabetes and periodontitis.
The study aimed to Compare the effect of combination Platelet Rich
Plasma with bovine derived xenograft and bovine derived xenograft
alone in treatment of human class II furcation defects in mandibular
molars. Twenty systemically healthy patients,
aged 32 to 58 years with
chronic periodontitis participated in the study . Each patient had 2 buccal
mandibular class II furcation defects (first or second molars) were
randomizely treated either with : bovine – derived xenograft with
Platelet – Rich plasma, or with bovine - derived xenograft alone.
Esterified hyaluronic acid has
emerged into the periodontal regenerative therapy recently,
but there is still a need for more research of its role in
periodontal treatments, therefore the goal of this clinical study
is to assess its role in the treatment of periodontal infrabony
defects in comparison to open curettage.

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.
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.
