Periodontal disease

the relationship between Smoking and Periodontal disease states that periodontal diseases and smoking are in direct correlation to one another. (Gene B. Sherwim, 2013). Evidence from a 2010 study states that smoking cigarettes is recognized as the most important environmental risk factor in periodontitis. (Liran Levin, 2010). Another study that was conducted in 2013 states that both current and former smokers have an increased risk of obtaining periodontal diseases compared…

Increase The Risk Of Periodontal Disease The growing obesity epidemic is a concern because it has been shown to increase the risk of a number of conditions, including type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. There have also been studies done to show that obesity may also increase the risk of periodontal disease, which is a condition that causes gum inflammation. Periodontal disease is an extremely common condition, which affects about 80 percent of adults. If periodontal disease is not treated,…

Periodontitis(PD), is an inflammatory disorder of tooth-supporting structures, which initiates loss of periodontal supporting tissues, with tooth mobility increasing and finally tooth loss(1). Furthermore, it is characterized by the periodontal pocket formation and recession of the gingiva. The hallmark clinical feature of established PD is clinical attachment loss(CAL) (2) (3). Chronic periodontitis(CP) is a gingivitis pathological development, which, in contrast, is a reversible inflammation…

predisposition to periodontal disease; however, prevention precautions can be implemented to create an overall healthy oral cavity. Trisomy 21, more commonly known as down syndrome, is a genetic disorder that arises from a defect involving chromosome 21. Cells in the human body are composed of 23…

patient. NSPT is also referred to as periodontal debridement (PD) or scaling and root planning (SRP). All of these procedures are classified using the dental code 4341 or 4342. You will hear these terms used interchangeably throughout the rest of this paper. According to Gehrig and Willmann, “Nonsurgical periodontal therapy is a term used to describe the many non-surgical steps used to eliminate inflammation in the periodontium of a patient with periodontal disease in an attempt to return the…

Periodontitis and its relations to systemic health Periodontitis is considered to be an inflammatory disease which is characterized by destruction of the supporting structure of the teeth (periodontal ligament and alveolar bone). Its highly common and can change the quality of life of the affected patient.

this paper, I will be discussing how bacteria can cause dental implants to fail as well as how bacteria does not affect stable dental implants in the oral cavity. Failure of implants can result from bacterial infections, trauma in the mouth (periodontal diseases), and improper positioning of the implants. Implant failures can be determined based on the time of failure and based on infectious or noninfectious…

Research confirms that periodontal disease is also linked to several other diseases, and most commonly found in people with diabetes. Diabetes…

Periodontiits: Periodontal disease is one of the most prevalent disease throughout the world (Albandar 2011). It is a chronic bacterial inflammatory infection leading to destruction of supporting tissues of teeth (Moffatt, Whitmore et al. 2011). It is second to dental caries as a cause of tooth loss among adults in developed countries (Gautam, Jindal et al. 2011), affecting 47.2% adults aged 30 years and older in the US (Eke, Dye et al. 2012).
