Periodontal disease sites were determined according to the recent update to the 1999 American Academy of Periodontology Classification of Periodontal Diseases and Conditions.16 To ensure high sensitivity, thresholds for CAL and PPD were deliberately set so that sites with mild, moderate, and severe peri...
As such, a key strength of this study is its use of the widely adopted, highly standardized 2017 World Workshop periodontal disease classification system [30]. Nevertheless, to account for the potential impact of varying clinical judgments, particularly in cases that fall into a gray area, [31...
perforations is, characteristically, an isolated localised loss of attachment. Whereas loss of attachment due toperiodontal diseaseis usually more generalised and not associated with a singular defect. Furcation involvement may indicate advanced periodontal disease (Fig. 3.11) or an iatrogenic root ...
Periodontal tissue loss is the main reason for tooth mobility and loss caused by periodontal disease. Dental follicle stem cells (DFSCs) have significant therapeutic potential in periodontal regeneration, which maybe mainly depends on their potent immunomodulatory capacity. Consequently, this study aims ...
Our results indicate that the lack of active neutrophil serine proteases and mature LL-37 is associated with severity of periodontal disease in PLS patients. Recently blood of PLS patients was analysed for LL-37 also using the WB method [18]. In contrast to our finding of the total absence ...
Classification systems developed and endorsed by the American Association of Periodontology have set the criteria of diagnosis of a breadth of periodontal diseases. Diagnosis of chronic periodontitis is presently based on the surrogate disease activity parameter, clinical attachment levels. With the rise ...
Objective Periodontal disease (PD) is viewed today as multifactorial problems initiated and sustained by bacteria but significantly modified by the body’s response to bacterial plaque. Recent studies have suggested that gene polymorphisms could be invol

(gum) disease. Peridontal disease is commonly known as pyorrhea. It has been estimated that most adult tooth loss in the United States today is the result of peridontal disease, not dental caries (cavities). As peridontal disease progresses, the pockets become larger and are filled with ...
lesions with communication and lesions with no communication. In 1999, the American Society of Periodontology first incorporated EPLs into the Classification System of Periodontal Disease and named it “combined periodontic-endodontic lesions”, which was of limited utility due to the lack of categories...
