The study determined the epidemiology of periodontal diseases among dogs. This study was conducted on 181 dogs older than 6 months to examine their oral cavities and gather information about their feeding habits. Periodontal diseases were reported in 59.67% of dogs. It was highest for Spitz (75.61%), followed by German shepherd (64.49%), Mongrel (61.53%), Labrador (51.02%) and other Non-descriptive breeds (33.9%). Compared to dogs fed only vegetarian diets, those fed non-vegetarian diets had few health problems. There was the highest incidence of dental problems among vegetarians (69.28%), followed by those given a combination of vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets (51.32%). Periodontitis was common in these dogs, regardless of its cause, and its incidence increased with age. Lesions were more severe in the premolar and molar regions than in the maxillary and mandibular incisor regions. The incidence of missing teeth increased with age. First premolars were the most commonly lost teeth, followed by other premolars and molars, where severe periodontitis was commonly found. The incidence and severity of calculus on teeth increased with age. Due to these findings, it is especially important to keep dogs’ dental hygiene in good condition and conduct continuous periodic examinations.

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate women's oral hygiene knowledge, practice, and use of dental services during pregnancy in the north of Jordan. Materials and methods Voluntary sample of 154 pregnant women of 18 to 40 years old were invited to participate in the study. They were asked to read a self-designated questionnaire and a cover letter which explained the purpose of the study. The questionnaire addressed self-reported demographics, knowledge, practice and use of dental services during pregnancy. Data were statistically analyzed using Chi-square test to determine statistically significant differences across knowledge, practice and use of dental services during pregnancy. Results The sample included 29.3% aged 20 to 24 years old; 33.1% having bachelor degree; and 66.9% were housewives. The majority of study sample 68.2% knew they need dental consultation during pregnancy; however, 39.5% received dental consultation during pregnancy. Majority 62.4% brushed their teeth regularly; however, 73.2% does not use auxiliary dental hygiene devices. Majority 44.5% visited dentist, when they feel pain. Statistically significant association were found between educational level and knowledge about need to dental consultation during pregnancy (p = 0.012); educational level and knowledge about link between pregnancy and periodontal diseases (p = 0.01); and economic status and use of auxiliary dental hygiene devices during pregnancy (p = 0.040). Conclusion Pregnant women brushed their teeth regularly and visited dentist occasionally. Income was significantly associated with increase use of auxiliary dental hygiene devices. Educational level was significantly associated with mothers’ knowledge about the need for consultation and possible link between pregnancy and periodontal diseases.

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The serum calcium-phosphorus balance and bone metabolism markers estimation in 72 patients with severe chronic generalized periodontitis and 20 patients of control healthy group at the age of 25 to 55 was performed. A comprehensive laboratory mineral balance study plays an important role in modern diagnostics of periodontal diseases and allows not only to determine the process of bone destruction activity, but also to control the periodontal treatment ef ciency. The rst examination revealed that 19,4% patients with severe periodontitis had low level of serum ionized calcium, its level being 1,05 mmol/l and less. The Drug-induced management of such patients included prescribing osteogenon in their preoperative period which resulted in 12,61% calcium levels increase within 2 months of osteogenon taking. Thus, adding osteogenon to severe periodontitis combination therapy leads to ionized calcium low level recovery in patients’ serum, bene ts bone regeneration and clinical stabilization of periodontal tissues process due to this medicine active components: hydroxyl apatite and ossein, represented by different growth factors, having a direct impact on bone tissue. </span></p>

The Impact

Severe periodontitis is ranked as the sixth most prevalent disease affecting humankind, with an estimated 740 million people affected worldwide. The diagnosis of periodontal diseases mainly relies upon assessment of conventional clinical parameters. However, these parameters reflect past, rather than current, clinical status or future disease progression and, likely, outcome of periodontal treatment. Specific and sensitive biomarkers for periodontal diseases have been examined widely to address these issues and some biomarkers have been translated as point-of-care (PoC) tests. The aim of this review was to provide an update on PoC tests for use in the diagnosis and management of periodontal diseases. Among the PoC tests developed so far, active matrix metalloproteinase-8 has shown promising results in terms of diagnostic and prognostic values. However, further studies are required to increase the sensitivity and specificity via combining more than one biomarker and merging these test kits with periodontal risk assessment tools. Furthermore, the validity of these test kits needs to be investigated by applying the results in further independent studies and the impact on these test kits’, together with the results of risk factors for periodontal diseases, such as diabetes and smoking, also needs to be examined.

Severe Periodontitis

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble secosteroid that plays a significant role in the whole body, including the maxillofacial region. The discovery of its receptors in many cells and organs made it possible to reveal the participation of vitamin D not only in the regulation of calcium phosphate metabolism, but also in immune processes, in providing anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, slowing down cell proliferation and stimulating differentiation. In this literature review, we demonstrate the association between low vitamin D levels and the development of recurrent aphthous stomatitis, the course and response to treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, the severity of periodontal diseases, and the processes of osseointegration and bone remodeling during dental implantation and guided tissue regeneration. The aim of our article was to demonstate a possible connection between vitamin D level and the oral diseases that can be presented at an oral surgery appointment, which will help clinicians to reduce the risk of early dental implant failure, ensure favorable outcomes of augmentative operations, as well as decrease the destructive effects of severe periodontitis and other conditions throug knowledge and timely lab tests and endocrinologist prescriptions.

PurposeThis study aimed to investigate the association between self-reported depressive symptoms and oral diseases in US adults, including periodontitis, caries, missing teeth and untreated dental caries.DesignThis study was designed as a secondary data analysis of a cross-sectional survey. We conducted descriptive, multivariable logistic and Poisson regression analyses on weighted data.SettingUS National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009–2014 data.ParticipantsIndividuals aged ≥30 years who completed a periodontal examination and depression screening (n=9799).Results21.6% (28.9 million) of adults aged ≥30 years reported depressive symptoms, with a higher prevalence among females, current smokers and participants with lower income and education status. More than half of the adults with moderate depressive symptoms had periodontal diseases, and more than one-third had teeth with untreated dental caries. After adjusting for sociodemographics, behavioural factors, having diabetes and psychotherapeutic medication use, depressive symptoms were associated with poorer oral health. Severe depressive symptoms were associated with higher odds of mild periodontitis (2.20; 99% CI 1.03 to 4.66). For those with mild depressive symptoms, the mean number of missing teeth was 1.20 (99% CI 1.06 to 1.37) times the average of non-symptomatic individuals; and 1.38 times (99% CI 1.15 to 1.66) among individuals with moderate depressive symptoms.ConclusionsDepressive symptoms were associated with mild periodontitis and a greater number of missing teeth, while having teeth with untreated dental caries was attributed to sociodemographic factors. Awareness of oral health status among patients with depressive symptoms can inform both dental and mental health providers to develop tailored treatment and help patients achieve overall wellness.

The aim of this study, applied in the field of periodontal diseases, was first to analyze the fatty acid levels in two groups of patients and then to propose a method for selecting the most relevant predictors. Two groups of patients, 29 with moderate or severe periodontitis and 27 who served as controls, were clinically examined, and their fatty acids in serum were measured by gas chromatography. The levels of these 12 fatty acids were the variables of the analysis. Logistic regression, together with the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, allowed determining a composite score which led to a subset of the most relevant covariables. The fatty acid levels differed significantly between the 2 groups in multivariate analysis (P=0.03) and the best logistic model was obtained with only 3 predictive variables: arachidonic acid, linoleic acid, and DHA. Fatty acid levels in serum of patients were significantly different according to the presence of moderate or severe periodontitis. By taking into account the comparison of ROC curves, our approach could optimize the choice of variables in multivariate analyses and could better fit it with diagnosis and prognosis of oral diseases in dental research.

A 2.5-year-old male German shepherd-cross dog was admitted for progressively deteriorating regurgitations ofone-month duration. Physical examination was unremarkable, apart from a poor body condition; also, neurological examination did not reveal any abnormality. In thoracic survey radiographs, a generalized esophageal dilation, consistent with megaesophagus, was well visualized. An increased nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antibody titer confirmed the diagnosis of acquired focal myasthenia gravis expressed as megaesophagus in this patient. The only help offered to the dog was a modification of its feeding habits (upright position, small and frequent meals). Within two months of the initial admission and prior to institution of specific treatment for myasthenia gravis, the dog experienced spontaneous and complete clinical remission and remained healthy for the next two years, eating again the normal way, but unfortunately was lost to follow-up. The favourable outcome of megaesophagus due to localized myasthenia gravis is discussed accordingly.

Abstract: Teeth are very important to human being. Tooth loss may caused by caries, periodontal diseases, and trauma. Tooth loss may influence the social activities. Treatment with dentures as a replacement for missing teeth is very important because it can improve the aesthetics, restore chewing mechanism, restore speech function, maintain or retain the tissue around oral cavity, maintain jaw relation, and improve the quality of human life. There are some factors that influence people to use denture, inter alia: aesthetics, social relation, function, education, and culture. This study aimed to determine the reason to use removable denture among patients of Dental Clinic Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado. This was is a descriptive study with cross sectional design. There were 32 samples with removable dentures made in the Dental Clinic aged 17-70 years who filled the questionnaires. Data were processed and analyzed desriptively, and presented based on frequency distribution in tables. The results showed that the reasons of removable denture usage of patients were perception to substitute the missing teeth, appearance of not toothless, confidence restoration, and interaction with other people. Albeit, based on the social economics,the construction of denture need a lot of cost. Keywords: tooth loss, removable denture Abstrak: Gigi merupakan salah satu organ tubuh yang berperan penting bagi manusia. Terjadinya kehilangan gigi dapat disebabkan oleh karies, penyakit periodontal dan trauma. Kehilangan gigi dapat berpengaruh terhadap aktivitas sosial. Perawatan dengan pemakaian gigi tiruan sebagai pengganti gigi yang hilang sangat penting karna dapat memperbaiki estetik, mengembalikan mekanisme penguyahan, memulihkan fungsi bicara, memelihara atau mempertahankan jaringan sekitar mulut, relasi rahang dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup seseorang. Beberapa faktor yang memengaruhi masyarakat terhadap pemakaian gigi tiruan diantaranya estetik, sosial, fungsional, pendidikan dan faktor kebudayaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui alasan pemakaian gigi tiruan lepasan pada pasien Poliklinik Gigi di BLU RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado. Jenis penelitian ini deskriptif dengan desain potong lintang. Sampel penelitian diperoleh dengan metode total sampling. Terdapat 32 pasien yang membuat gigi tiruan lepasan di Poliklinik Gigi, berusia 17-70 tahun, dan bersedia mengisi kuisioner. Data diolah dan dianalisis secara deskriptif kemudian disajikan berdasarkan distribusi frekuensi dalam bentuk tabel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa alasan pemakaian gigi tiruan lepasan pada pasien di Poliklinik Gigi berdasarkan persepsi yang paling sering muncul yaitu memakai gigi tiruan bisa menggantikan gigi yang hilang; berdasarkan penampilan yaitu tidak ingin terlihat ompong, mengembalikan rasa percaya diri serta agar tidak merasa malu berinteraksi dengan orang lain. Berdasarkan sosial ekonomi pembuatan gigi tiruan membutuhkan biaya yang besar.Kata kunci: kehilangan gigi, gigi tiruan lepasan

Abstract Background:Periodontal infections have been associated to the formation and rupture of intracranial aneurysms (IA). In this study we investigated whether also caries (tooth decay) associates to IA pathology.Methods:A total of 166 patients with either IA or aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) underwent oral examination in Kuopio University Hospital and Tampere University Hospital. Findings were compared to age, gender and geographically matched controls acquired from cross-sectional Health 2000 Survey. This study consisted three sequential steps. First step was a comparison of the caries prevalence and number of missing teeth in IA and aSAH patients with the control population, second step was a multivariate analysis with demographic factors and third step was a prospective 13-year follow-up of participants with any caries or missing teeth.Results:In logistic regression adjusted for known risk factors and demographic data, caries (OR: 0.412 95%Cl 0.2-0.9, p=0.028) was associated with lack of IAs, while age (OR:1.029 95%Cl 1.0-1.1 p=0.039), current smoking (OR:2.7 95%Cl 1.4-5.1, p=0.003) and severe periodontitis (OR:4.3 95%Cl 2.3-12.5, p<0.001) associated with IA formation. Severe periodontitis associated also to aSAH in logistic regression (OR: 5.4, 95%Cl 1.9-15.5, p=0.002). In the cox-regression, severe periodontitis at baseline increased the risk of aSAH (HR: 11.9, 95%Cl 1.2-114.7, p=0.032) during a 13-year follow-up.Conclusion:Unlike periodontitis, caries does not increase the risk of IAs and aSAHs. However, cariogenic bacteria may participate to IA pathology by disseminating to circulation via inflamed gingival tissue.

Aim. Evaluation of dental status in patients with inflammatory periodontal diseases. Methods. The study of dental status was performed with the use of clinical and historical data from 269 patients with inflammatory periodontal diseases at the age of 18-65 years. Among examined patients there were 75 (27.9%) people with gingivitis, 54 (20.1%) with mild periodontitis, 66 (24.5%) with moderate and 74 (27.5%) with severe periodontitis. Control group consisted of practically healthy donors at the age of 18-52 years (40 people) with sanitized oral cavity. Results. From history and interviewing it was found that 72% of the surveyed patients brush their teeth twice a day, 24% - once a day and 4% of patients do not brush their teeth. Family history of periodontal diseases among parents was recorded by 86% of participants. Dental status was characterized by the increase of the values of all dental indices with increasing disease severity regardless of gender. Need for correction of the depth of the vestibule, lips, cords, and bridles was identified in 51.7% of cases in patients with gingivitis and in 96.6% of cases of periodontal diseases. With increasing severity of periodontitis index (sum) of teeth with decay and fillings and removed teeth was increased by 1.5 times in gingivitis, by 2.2 times in mild periodontitis, by 2.6 times in moderate and by 2.9 times in severe periodontitis compared to control group. Partial adentia in gingivitis is 3 times more prevalent in males than in females and in severe periodontitis is 1.6 times more prevalent in females than in males. Conclusion. Dental status of the patients with inflammatory periodontal diseases was characterized by increased values of all dental indices compared to control group that demonstrates typical course of inflammatory periodontal diseases and decrease of local immunologic resistance of oral cavity and the organism in total; timely correction of local factors (local trauma), anatomical and topographical features of dentofacial system and status of oral soft tissues allows prevention of pathologic processes in periodontal tissues.
