The oral cavity has a multitude of functions in relation to daily life. The poor health has the potential of affecting the quality of life. In recent years, efforts have been made to recognize oral health as an integral part of overall health. There is a fair evidence exists between respiratory disorders and poor oral hygiene & good evidence exist that improved oral health and professional oral health care reduce the progression or occurrence of respiratory diseases among high risk adults. This paper discusses the relation between the periodontitis and its influence on the incidence of respiratory disorders.

Oral health is indispensable to overall health and oral diseases especially periodontitis is well known for its high prevalence and rapid morbidity. Function of the host immune response is the most crucial feature in periodontitis. And this is the reason for both disease progression and severity. Search for a biomarker for periodontitis has turned on researches working out in finding many newer molecules (cytokines), that can help the clinician in deciding regarding the patient's status. This review shortly covers the multiple facets of crosstalk engaged by salivary Tumour Necrosis Factor-α key inflammatory mediators in periodontal disease.

Objective- The objective of this case report is to assess whether a Z-plasty of the lower labial frenum can increase the vestibular depth, the width of attached gingiva, and eliminate the aberrant frenal attachment. A 29 year ol Clinical consideration- d female presented for esthetic rectication associated with gingival recession and pathological migration of lower central incisors. The mandibular central incisors were associated with gingival recession due to shallow vestibular depth, high frenal attachment and inadequate width of attached gingiva. Z plasty of lower labial frenum was done to manage this predicament. Satisfactory clinical results were observed This case report demonstrates a type of single stage Conclusionperiodontal plastic surgery aimed at increasing the vestibular depth, replace the sentence - removing aberrant frenal attachments, and widening the width of attached gingiva. The results of the study are encouraging and warrant further case-controlled studies

Periodontitis a chronic inflammatory disease caused by dysbiotic plaque biofilm is characterized by the destruction of periodontal supporting structures. Based on the direction and angle, interproximal bone loss can either be horizontal or vertical. The identification and evaluation of these defects are imperative to ascertain therapeutic intervention. In this review, a detailed discussion about various methods adopted in evaluating interproximal bone defect is scrutinized.
