Associations of Interleukin-1 Polymorphisms with Chronic Periodontitis in Two Different Kenyan Ethnic Groups: A Case Control Study

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between IL-1β and IL- 1α isoforms with chronic periodontitis in two Kenyan ethnic groups, Taitas and Swahilis. Methods: A case-control study in which participants were assessed for dental plaque, gingival infl ammation, pocket depth and gingival recession after informed consent. Buccal swab samples were obtained and deoxyribonucleic acid was isolated from the swabs using QIAamp DNA purifi cation protocol followed by polymerase chain reaction amplifi cation using specifi c primers to IL-1 α rs1800587 (-889) and rs17561...

Perception of Dental Students, Dentists and Patients on the Esthetics of Gingival Recession
Perception of Dental Students, Dentists and Patients on the Esthetics of Gingival Recession

Background: This cross-sectional study verifi ed the self-perception of different observers on gingival recession. Methods: Areas of gingival recession were digitally modifi ed using software simulating different clinical conditions in the esthetic area. A total of 180 individuals (60 dentists, 60 patients, and 60 dental students) participated in this study. From an original photograph of the smile of a volunteer, fi ve cases of gingival recession (GR), including unilateral recession...

Comparison of Clinical Periodontal Parameters in Two Colombian Oral Health National Studies, 1998 and 2014
Comparison of Clinical Periodontal Parameters in Two Colombian Oral Health National Studies, 1998 and 2014

Objective: The aim was to compare the results of two large Colombian epidemiological studies in order to describe trends in the presence of clinical periodontal parameters. Methods: In 1998 and 2014, two epidemiological studies on national representative samples selected following probabilistic methods were performed. In 1998, a total of 9747 subjects received a partial-mouth periodontal examination in ten approximal sites, and in 2014 a total of 9821 participants received a full-mouth...

The Association between Infl ammatory Bowel Disease and Periodontal Conditions: Is There a Common Bacterial Etiology?
The Association between Infl ammatory Bowel Disease and Periodontal Conditions: Is There a Common Bacterial Etiology?

Introduction: The gastrointestinal system is strongly associated with the oral mucosa including periodontal tissues. Infl ammatory bowel disease (IBD) has two common forms: Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Local infl ammation in periodontal diseases (PD) has an impact on infl ammatory diseases in various parts of the body. The existence of periodontitis in IBD patients suggests the possibility that the two infl amma- tory conditions may have common pathogenic pathways....
