Periodontal microbiology and microbial etiology of periodontal diseases: Historical concepts and contemporary perspectives

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This narrative review summarizes the collective knowledge on periodontal microbiology, through a historical timeline that highlights the European contribution in the global field. The etiological concepts on periodontal disease culminate to the ecological plaque hypothesis and its dysbiosis‐centered interpretation.

Regulation of adhesin synthesis in Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. [PDF]

Mol Oral Microbiol, 2023
Abstract Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is a gram‐negative bacterium associated with periodontal disease and a variety of disseminated extra‐oral infections. Tissue colonization is mediated by fimbriae and non‐fimbriae adhesins resulting in the formation of a sessile bacterial community ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Aggregatibacter Actinomycetemcomitans: Current Overview

Dentistry and Oral Maxillofacial Surgery, 2022
Aggregatibacter Actinomycetemcomitans is one of the most aggressive pathobionts studied to the date. It encodes numerous putative toxins, the complex interplay of these toxins with the subgingival microbiota affects host defense mechanisms leading to rigorous destruction of the periodontium further causing loss of the tooth.

Europe's contribution to the evaluation of the use of systemic antimicrobials in the treatment of periodontitis

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This narrative review celebrates Europe's contribution to the current knowledge on systemically administered antimicrobials in periodontal treatment. Periodontitis is the most frequent chronic noncommunicable human disease. It is caused by dysbiotic bacterial biofilms and is commonly treated with subgingival instrumentation.

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans

, 2023
The most prevalent disease on planet earth, periodontitis, is an inflammatory disease that destroys soft tissues and bone surrounding our teeth, ultimately leading to tooth loss. Periodontitis is associated with changes in the oral microbial community.

The natural history of periodontal disease: The Java study—Origin, implementation, and results 35 years on

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This review describes the origin and results of the prospective longitudinal study to test potential prognostic indicators for periodontal breakdown in a population deprived of regular dental care. Experimental gingivitis studies in individuals highly susceptible or highly resistant to periodontitis showed that bleeding on probing developed ...
