Background Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease (CPDD) is a rare disease in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) space. It forms a calcified crystal mass and induces a limitation of joint movement.

Supra and subgingival application of antiseptics or antibiotics during periodontal therapy
Abstract Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) are characterized by inflammatory processes which arise as a result of disruption of the balance in the oral ecosystem. According to the current S3 level clinical practice guidelines, therapy of patients with periodontitis involves a stepwise approach that includes the control of the patient ...

Formation of calcium pyrophosphate crystals in vitro: implications for calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition disease (pseudogout) [PDF]
Little is known about how calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CaPPD) crystals form in vivo and give rise to chondrocalcinosis or pseudogout (pyrophosphate arthropathy or calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition disease). In this study a simple method has been devised to define the conditions necessary for the deposition of crystals in vitro.

The association between ANKH promoter polymorphism and chondrocalcinosis is independent of age and osteoarthritis : results of a case–control study [PDF]
Introduction: Chondrocalcinosis (CC) most commonly results from calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition (CPPD). The objective of this study is to examine the association between candidate single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and radiographic CC ...

Chondrocalcinosis is common in the absence of knee involvement [PDF]
Introduction: We aimed to describe the distribution of radiographic chondrocalcinosis (CC) and to examine whether metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) calcification and CC at other joints occurs in the absence of knee involvement.

Octacalcium phosphate crystals directly stimulate expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase through p38 and JNK mitogen-activated protein kinases in articular chondrocytes [PDF]
Basic calcium phosphate (BCP) crystals, including hydroxyapatite, octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and carbonate-apatite, have been associated with severe osteoarthritis and several degenerative arthropathies.

Heritability of crystal related arthropathies [PDF]
The most common types of crystal arthropathies are gout and calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease. Serum urate levels are influenced by a combination of genetic factors and the environment. There are studies estimating the heritability of urate
