Comparative evaluation of Chromogranin A levels in GCF and saliva in healthy, chronic periodontitis and aggressive periodontitis patients – A Descriptive Co-relational study.
Abstract: Periodontal destruction is a combination of complex physiopathological process. Stress acts in the body by releasing stress hormones, the glucocorticoids and the catecholamines. Chromogranin A is a secretory glycoprotein which can be used as a biomarker. Aims: The aim of the study was to evaluate levels of chromogranin A in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva in healthy, chronic periodontitis and aggressive periodontitis patients and to further correlate the clinical …

Detection of Tannerella Forsythia by Pocket-out Method in Chronic Periodontitis Patients
Abstract: The outcome of microbiological diagnostics may depend upon the sampling techniques. The aim of the study was to detect using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the presence of Tannerella forsythia (T. forsythia) in chronic periodontitis patients by pocket-out sampling technique, to compare the pocket-out and curette method as sampling techniques for detection of T. forsythia in chronic periodontitis patients using PCR. A total of 27 adult patients, 30–65 years of age …

Infective Endocarditis, Result of Chronic Periodontal Disease: A Real and Present Danger
Abstract: Introduction: Endocarditis is an inflammation of the endocardium, the inner lining of the heart and heart valves. It is usually caused by bacteria and is associated with high mortality and morbidity. It can result from transient bacteremia from the oral cavity. Streptococci are the primary colonizers of tooth surface and are instrumental in development of the complex oral biofilm, dental plaque. Streptococcus sanguinis is one of the abundant oral commensals …

Clinical Practice: The Differential Diagnosis of Dental Pain
Abstract: In clinical dental practice, patients often present with pain in the oral cavity. While some oral pain may be generalized in nature, the clinician has to consider other factors that involve pain and discomfort. Many symptomatic teeth do not need endodontic treatment – on the contrary, they have undiagnosed occlusal problems, caries, fractures or referred pain. For the teeth needing endodontic treatment, this paper provides several modes of diagnostic methodology. …

Periodontitis and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Abstract: This comprehensive review delves into the complex interplay between Periodontitis and Rheumatoid Arthritis, aiming to unravel the underlying mechanisms and shared inflammatory pathways that connect these seemingly distinct conditions. The review examines a wealth of current research, exploring how chronic periodontal inflammation may contribute to the development and progression of RA and vice versa. Furthermore, the review critically evaluates the clinical implications of this interrelation, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary …

REPEATED MOPs VS DUAL APPROACH IN ACCELERATED ORTHODONTICS
Abstract: In contemporary orthodontics, there is a pressing need to minimize treatment duration, which is often a concern for both orthodontic specialists and patients. Prolonged treatment periods not only pose logistical challenges but also increase the risks of various dental issues such as cavities, periodontal problems, chronic discomfort, and root resorption. Accelerated orthodontics has emerged as a promising solution to address these challenges. Numerous efforts have been undertaken to expedite orthodontic …

Plant Bioactive Metabolites and Their Role in the Prevention and Control of Dental Diseases and Infections.
Abstract: The oral diseases, including dental caries and periodontitis, affect masses worldwide, and have historically been managed with synthetic antimicrobials that cause deleterious side effects, leading to mounting bacterial resistance. Consequently, contemporary dentistry is rapidly shifting toward phytomedicine using plant bioactive molecules, such as polyphenols, terpenes, anthraquinones (berberin, eugenol, curcumin, catechins, allicin, and azadirachtin. These compounds offer potent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and tissue-regenerative properties that are crucial for preventing and curing dental …
