Although there were slight variations in the number of distinct bands in each Vbeta family, there was no significant difference between gingivitis lesions and periodontitis lesions. These results demonstrate that antigen-specific T-cell responses also take place in gingivitis lesions. It remains to be...
The chronic periodontitis groups (OLPP and HP) had higher periodontal clinical parameters compared to the gingivitis groups (OLPG and HG) (P,0.05). The OLPG patients had higher periodontal clinical parameters than the HG patients, but sta- tistically significant difference was not observed (P....
Oral health is integral to general health and is essential for well-being.1 Gingivitis, a prevalent and reversible gum disease in human population, is characterised by inflammation of the gingivae in response to mature dental plaque biofilms. Persistent gingivitis may lead to chronic periodontitis in...
The role of plaque in the etiology of gingivitis and periodontitis is well established. It was observed that plaque was found to be directly related to gingivitis irrespective of the sex, residing status, type of brushing aid, dentifrice used and frequency of brushing. CONCLUSION:Based on the re...
periodontitis by 2- to 5-fold [21]. Rajapakse et al found a positive association between tooth brushing frequency and gingival disease. Other possible risk factors were duration of tooth brushing, brushing strength, frequency of switching to a new toothbrush, bristle types or hardness, and tooth...
A series of patients affected by desquamative gingivitis (DG) was investigated in order to evaluate relation patterns among clinical parameters relevant to plaque-induced periodontitis, periodontal microbiological data and the presence of DG lesions.Eight oral lichen planus (OLP) and four mucous membran...

individuals with mild gingivitis (1.3%), severe gingivitis (1.0%) and adult periodontitis (0.9%). A significant difference (p< 0.001) in B. forsythus proportions was also detected between supragingival (0.9%) and subgingival (15.3%) samples from adult periodontitis patients. In a separate study...
Gingivitis is characterized by a tendency to bleed upon probing, and by changes in the color and texture of the gingivae1. Chronic gingivitis can progress to irreversible periodontitis, eventually leading to tooth loss2–4. Moreover, a low level of bacterial-induced gingival inflammation can ...
and enrichment in Gram-negative bacteria such asPorphyromonas gingivalis,Prevotellaspp. andSelenomonasspp. is frequently observed in case-control comparisons, despite this shift being less pronounced compared to periodontitis progression5,7,21,22. Additionally, increasing subgingival anaerobiosis during gingivi...
