A peptide coating preventing the attachment of Porphyromonas gingivalis on the surfaces of dental implants
DownloadFall 2020
Background: Most late implant failures are related to peri-implantitis, which is an inflammatory condition involving both soft and hard tissues surrounding the implant. Various factors contributing to peri-implantitis have been identified, such as poor oral hygiene, a history of periodontitis,...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the periodontium that leads to irreversible loss of periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone. Stage 3 and stage 4 grade C periodontitis (P3C/P4C) are the most severe forms of periodontitis according to the 2017...

Fall 2024
Introduction: Bacterial invasion from subgingival plaque into gingival tissues is a critical aspect of periodontal disease pathogenesis. This invasion not only contributes to disease progression but also enables the pathogens to survive within the host and evade immune surveillance. While...

Fall 2024
Background: Periodontitis is a multifactorial, complex chronic oral disease facilitated by oral microbes. Transmissibility studies of the past have shown that oral microbes are transmissible between individuals. Furthermore, periodontal disease phenotypes also appear to be inheritable to some...

Introduction: The SIBLING family of proteins is a group of non-collagenous proteins (NCPs) previously thought to be expressed only in dentin but have been demonstrated in other mineralized and non-mineralized tissues. They are believed to play vital roles in both osteogenesis and dentinogenesis....

Dental students’ approach to the formulation of a diagnosis and treatment plan during their periodontal training: Examining the effect of didactic and clinical experiences from a mixed methods perspective.
DownloadFall 2020
Periodontitis is a multifactorial infectious disease, whereby the interplay of bacterial load, host immunoinflammatory response, environmental and local risk factors interact and shape its progression. Competent diagnosis of differing forms of periodontitis is based on decision-making schemes and...

DNA Methylation Underlies the Long-Term Association Between Oral Porphyromonas gingivalis infection and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease
DownloadSpring 2022
Periodontitis, one of the most common inflammatory conditions, and the leading cause of teeth loss in adults, has been associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) for decades, and has recently been identified, by the American Heart Association, as an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic...

Fall 2022
Periodontal disease also known as periodontitis is the second most common cause of tooth loss after dental caries. Almost close to half of the population of the world suffers from various forms (mild, moderate, or severe) of the periodontal disease. The disease is prevalent in mankind because of...

Evaluation of Periodontal Changes after Miniscrew Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion in Adults
DownloadFall 2023
Introduction: Miniscrew Assisted Rapid Palatal Expanders (MARPE) have been recently utilized in adult patients to correct maxillary transverse deficiency. Clinical research on the effect of different MARPE designs on periodontium of neighbouring teeth has been limited. The aim of this research...

Fall 2021
Background & Objective: Periodontitis has been an increasingly common finding in patients who have been diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Several studies have investigated the association between the two diseases and have confirmed that these two disease entities have a common...
