“…On the other hand, there was overall high agreement between "Ramfjord" teeth and full-mouth periodontal pocket depth and clinical attachment loss assessment in a Tanzanian adult population 31 and in a Norwegian adolescent sample 32 . Statistical correlations between Ramfjord teeth and full-mouth examination were both positive and significant 19 .…”

“…Model IV consisted of the assessment at all sites per tooth for the CPI teeth 9 . The CPI teeth use a fixed subset of teeth, including teeth numbers 16,17,11,26,27,36,37,31,46, and 47 according to the Federation Dentaire Internationale numbering system.…”

“…In their study, most patients (81%) exhibited only moderate progression, despite poor plaque control and gingival inflammation in all participants. Moreover, the present partial-mouth examination reduced examination time, which increased patient convenience and reduced examiner fatigue (29). Data for other variable were collected under full-mouth conditions.…”

Association between periodontal status and idiopathic male infertility

About 30% of male infertility cases are idiopathic. Previous studies reported a positive correlation between deep periodontal pockets and sperm sub-motility, which suggests that periodontitis might have a role in idiopathic semen abnormality pathospermia. We evaluated correlations between periodontal infection parameters and the results of sperm analysis of men with idiopathic infertility. In this observational study, semen quality and periodontal status were analyzed for 95 otherwise healthy men attending an andrology unit for sperm analysis. Half the men in the sperm pathology and normozoospermia groups (50.8% and 50%, respectively) had poor periodontal status. Among the 95 participants, 38% had oligozoospermia, 28% had asthenozoospermia, 16% had cryptozoospermia, and 15% were classified as normozoospermic. Sperm pathology category was not associated with frequency of deep periodontal pockets or calculus. Bleeding on probing was significantly lower among men with asthenozoospermia than among those with normozoospermia. Poor periodontal status was not associated with any sperm pathology category or parameter. In contrast with previous findings, the present results indicate that pathospermia and poor semen quality are not associated with periodontal infection in men with idiopathic infertility.

“…The Ramfjord index has an advantage of involving six instead of the ten CPITN teeth, potentially shortening the examination time by almost half. 26 The teeth mentioned in the Ramfjord index are teeth which reflect the state of the teeth in the whole mouth. There are studies which show that by choosing these teeth, results which reflect the state of the whole mouth can be given.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the myeloid-related protein-8 and myeloid-related protein-14 levels in the gingival crevicular fluid of smoker patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis (SAgP), smoker patients with chronic periodontitis (SCP), smoker patients with gingivitis (SG-smoker control), non-smoker patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis (AgP), non-smoker patients with chronic periodontitis (CP), and non-smoker patients with gingivitis (G-non-smoker control). The periodontal statuses of the patients were determined by periodontal clinical measurements and radiographical evaluations. The levels of myeloid-related protein-8 and myeloid-related protein-14 in the gingival crevicular fluid were assessed using enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay. The myeloid-related protein-8 and myeloid-related protein-14 levels in the gingival crevicular fluid of patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis (non-smoker and smoker) were found to be statistically higher than patients with chronic periodontitis (non-smoker and smoker) and patients with gingivitis (non-smoker and smoker). Myeloid-related protein-8 and myeloid-related protein-14 levels of non-smokers were significantly higher than smokers in all types of periodontitis and gingivitis. The decreased myeloid-related protein-8 and myeloid-related protein-14 level could have prevented the haemostasis of calcium which plays a significant role in the migration of neutrophiles. Smoking affects myeloid-related protein-8 and myeloid-related protein-14 levels and may inhibit the antimicrobial efficiency against microorganisms. Due to these reasons smoker generalized aggressive periodontitis patients need to be treated in detail and their maintenance durations should be shortened.

The usefulness of using Ramfjord teeth in predicting periodontal status of a Tanzanian adult population

Abstract: This overall high agreement between Ramjford teeth and full-mouth periodontal pocket situation confirms the epidemiological validity of Ramfjord's dental sample in our setting.
