Relationship between -889 C/T polymorphism in interleukin-1A gene and risk of chronic periodontitis : evidence from a meta-analysis with new published findings [PDF]
Periodontitis results from an inflammatory response caused by accumulative microorganisms in periodontal sites. Several factors are involved in pathogenesis of periodontitis, for example the -889 C/T polymorphism in interleukin-1A gene.

Subgingival periodontal pathogens associated with chronic periodontitis in Yemenis [PDF]
Il a été rapporté que le profil microbien sous-gingival associé à la parodontite différait significativement selon l'emplacement géographique. Le but de cette étude était d'évaluer l'association entre un panel d'agents pathogènes bactériens parodontaux présumés et la parodontite chronique chez les Yéménites.

Fibrinogen Degradation Products and Periodontitis: Deciphering the Connection [PDF]
Introduction: Fibrinogen degradation products (e.g. D-dimer) arise from digested fibrin clots and fibrinogen. Elevated concentrations accompany activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis and indicate chronic inflammatory diseases. D-Dimer tests are a
