How Does Stress Influence Periodontitis?

Artigo

Stress has long been considered to be a major contributor to the clinical manifestation of many diseases. In this review the role that stress might play in chronic periodontitis is considered. Sufficient evidence is available to support the notion that stress could be a contributing factor in periodontal destruction in the presence of periodontal pathogens in a susceptible individual.

Microbiological Outcomes of Systemic Ornidazole Use in Chronic Periodontitis. Part II
Microbiological Outcomes of Systemic Ornidazole Use in Chronic Periodontitis. Part II

Objective: Antimicrobials are increasingly being used as adjuncts to non-surgical or surgical periodontal therapy. The main purpose of the present analysis was to evaluate the effect of systemic ornidazole (ORN) on total anaerobic microbial counts of subjects with moderate to advanced chronic periodontitis (CP). Methods: This was a single-center, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial of six months duration. Fifty-eight subjects presenting with at least 12 teeth with...

Histometric Assessment of the Effect of Diabetes Mellitus on Experimentally Induced Periodontitis in Rats
Histometric Assessment of the Effect of Diabetes Mellitus on Experimentally Induced Periodontitis in Rats

Objective: The aim of this interventional animal study was to assess histologically the effect of experimental diabetes in rats with experimental periodontitis in terms of alveolar bone loss and the effect of experimental periodontitis on glucose levels in diabetes. Materials and Methods: Forty-seven Wistar rats were studied: 12 healthy controls (C), 10 with experimental diabetes (D), 12 with experimental diabetes and experimental periodontitis (DP) and 13 with experimental periodontitis...

Effect of Periodontal Therapy on Metabolic Control and an Inflammatory Mediator in Type 2 Diabetic Subjects: A Report on 17 Consecutive Cases
Effect of Periodontal Therapy on Metabolic Control and an Inflammatory Mediator in Type 2 Diabetic Subjects: A Report on 17 Consecutive Cases

Background: A reciprocal relationship between diabetes mellitus and chronic periodontitis has been described, whereby chronic periodontal infection could affect diabetic metabolic control. Therefore, periodontal therapy could influence metabolic control or systemic inflammation leading to diabetic complications. This case report series presents the effect of therapy on periodontal indices, glycated hemoglobin (HbA ) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in a group of type 2...
