“…The consensus is that local microbial factors can modify the onset and progression of the condition. [7,8] Later other supporting structures become involved so that pockets form around teeth, and there is a loss of attachment. This ultimately results in tooth mobility and tooth loss.…”

“…Chronic marginal gingivitis and periodontitis are, by far, the most prevalent periodontal pathologies with a microbial etiology. [7] Periodontal disease is a generalized term for a range of pathological conditions affecting the supporting and investing structures of the teeth (WHO, 1978). Periodontium is widely affected by dental plaque -a diverse microbial community found on the tooth surface, embedded in a matrix of polymers of bacterial and salivary origin.…”

Background: Evaluation of existing oral health services showed that it is predominantly urban oriented, mostly curative in nature and accessible mainly to small a part of population, i.e., privileged few. Periodontal diseases are more prevalent in a rural population than the urban population. The socio demographic profile is highly contrasting between the urban and rural population. It is essential to know whether these sociodemographic factors influence periodontal disease by comparing periodontal status of urban and rural population. Objective: The objective of the study is to assess and compare the periodontal status and treatment needs of rural and urban population in Tumkur district. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study based on the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. The sample consisted of 1500 subjects among which 750 subjects were selected from the rural population and 750 from urban population of Tumkur district. The data was collected by modified WHO oral health assessment form and clinical examination was conducted by using CPITN C probe. Results: It was found that the urban population had better periodontal health than rural population and this relationship was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: India is a country with a population having diverse culture, life style and religious beliefs which might influence the health status of the individuals significantly. Hence, it is necessary to conduct such surveys in different parts of the country and develop a strategy to improve the periodontal status of the population as a whole.

“…Second, this study did not analyze dental records such as full probing charts or intraoral radiographs, which restricted the ability to diagnose the severity and the follow-up period of PD [30]. Third, the severity and the follow-up period of VED and other investigated comorbidities were not assessed because of insufficient medical records.…”

medical checkup data from 2002 to 2013 were used to evaluate the association between periodontal surgery for the treatment of periodontitis (PSTP) and vasculogenic erectile dysfunction (VED). Methods: Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied to a longitudinal retrospective database to assess the association between PSTP and VED while adjusting for the potential confounding effects of sociodemographic factors (age, household income, insurance status, health status, residence area, and smoking status) and comorbidities (diabetes mellitus, angina pectoris, cerebral infarction, and myocardial infarction). Results: Among the 7,148 PSTP within the 268,296 recruited subjects, the overall prevalence of VED in PSTP was 1.43% (n=102). The bivariate analysis showed that VED was significantly related to PSTP (odds ratio [OR], 1.99; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.38-2.06; P<0.001), and this was confirmed in the multivariate analysis after adjusting for sociodemographic factors and comorbidities (OR, 1.29; 95% CI, P=0.002). Conclusions: Subjects with a history of periodontal flap surgery had a significantly higher risk of VED, after adjusting for potential confounding factors. Further studies are required to identify the key mechanisms underlying the association between severe periodontal disease and VED.

“…Furthermore, the increase in age led to an increase in the mean number of affected teeth [9,10]. The prevalence of gingival attachment loss in Pomerania, a province in Eastern Germany, was 89.7% in adults (20-81 years of age) with 62.8% of teeth being affected [11,12]. In contrast, in Norway only 51% of the adult subjects over 18 years of age had these defects [9].…”

Gingival recession (GR) is a common clinical situation observed in patient populations regardless of their age and ethnicity. It has been estimated that over 60% of the human population has gingival recession. It is the final effect of the interaction of multiple etiological factors. Identification and definition of the range of influence is often not possible, with the result that new methods for testing and elimination of potential etiological factors are still being sought. The aim of this study is to present the etiopathogenesis of gingival recessions with regard to the analysis of morphological and functional factors. For the assessment of the bone factors, we will describe the new cephalometric method for measuring sagital width of the bone in the central incisors area, places when GR are most commonly observed. Also, a review will be presented of modern methods of treatment; in particular classes recessions; usage substitute of autogenous tissue will be emphasized -collagen matrix, and primary culture fibroblasts on collagen net (Adv Clin Exp Med 2014, 23, 6, 857-863).

Abstract: Periodontitis is more prevalent in Pomerania than in the United States or Western Europe. In older subjects, attachment loss steadily increased, while the probing depth remained constant.
