Genome‐wide association study of periodontitis severity and progression

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background To add to the knowledge base of periodontal genomics, we carried out a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) of periodontitis severity and progression among 416 mixed‐ethnicity adult participants of a periodontitis clinical study. Methods Participants were 168 adults (mean age = 50 years, 46% males) with severe periodontitis and 248 ...

Distribution of Periodontal Pathogens in Korean Aggressive Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontology, 2003
Background: Microbial associations in aggressive periodontitis versus different ethnic origins are substantially unknown. We undertook this study to determine the prevalence of seven putative periodontopathogens in Korean patients and to evaluate microbial differences in localized and generalized aggressive periodontitis patients.Methods: Thirty‐nine ...

Long‐term clinical benefits of periodontal interventions in strict supportive periodontal care: A systematic review

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontitis requires long‐term management to prevent recurrence and tooth loss. While active periodontal therapy (APT) aims to reduce probing pocket depth (PPD) and improve clinical attachment level (CAL), strict supportive periodontal care (SPC) is essential for maintaining these clinical outcomes.

The influence of flap design on the relevance of biomaterials in regenerative periodontal surgery

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The aim of this systematic review was to explore whether the benefits of biomaterials in periodontal regenerative/reconstructive surgery are affected by the type of flap employed. The study addresses the existing gap in the evidence to substantiate the beneficial effect of minimal invasive periodontal surgical approach compared to a

Epigenetic inflammatory memory and periodontal disease: Mechanisms and clinical significance for comorbidities

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Historically, immunological memory was considered an exclusive feature of adaptive immunity. However, innate immune cells have recently been shown to record and maintain epigenetically imprinted memory of earlier infectious or inflammatory challenges.
