Periodontitis is recognized as Stages 2, 3, and 4 of Periodontal Disease directly related to the amount of inflammation, attachment, and bone loss present in the oral cavity. Dental Care Professional intervention may be warranted despite the best of home care. Professional intervention may be ...
Prevalence of periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) based on gingival health indices in 35-70-year-old patients referred to Rafsanjan Cohort Center, Iran, in 2019 BACKGROUND AND AIM: Periodontal disease is considered to be a remarkable factor affecting the quality of life and systemic...
Periodontal disease and periodontitis are commonly diagnosed in canine patients. The localized effects are well documented and known. However, the implications on systemic health may be largely unknown or misunderstood. This discussion will explore recent findings when comparing periodontitis and systemic ...

Findings This cross-sectional study identified an increased prevalence of periodontal disease sites, clinical periodontitis, and periodontal inflamed surface area in CCP+ at-risk individuals and those with early RA compared with a control group. Results showed that CCP+ at-risk individuals had increased...
Role of Entamoeba gingivalis in periodontitis: myth or reality! Those who consumed sugary foods like cakes, cookies, ice cream, chocolate candy, and soft drinks most often (at least five times a week) had a 73 percent higher risk of having periodontal disease in at least two teeth than thos...
Most periodontal disease arises from, or is aggravated by, accumulation of plaque, and periodontitis is associated particularly with anaerobes such as Porphyromonas gingivalis, Bacteroides forsythus, and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans. Calculus (tartar) may form from calcification of plaque above or...
Periodontitis has documented risk factors, including but not limited to specific plaque bacteria, smoking, and diabetes mellitus. Initially, the link between systemic disease and periodontal diseases was thought to be unidirectional. Currently, there is increasing evidence that the relationship between ...
However, untreated gingivitis can turn into advanced periodontal disease, known as periodontitis. This is when the infection spreads to the ligaments, bone and other tissues beneath the gums. It causes the supporting structures to irreversibly break down, and can eventually lead to tooth loss. And...
Data on the prevalence of transient gingival conditions associated with tooth eruption, puberty and systemic factors are lacking and therefore their contribution to the prevalence of periodontal disease is unknown. Reports of periodontitis in young people are relatively uncommon except in a few ...
