Periodontitis is considered as a familiar inflammatory oral condition, which is related with various systemic diseases and several unfavourable reproductive consequences, that include reduced birth weight of child, preeclampsia, preterm labour, restriction of foetal growth, and perinatal death. Based on studies, there is a relationship seen among lower fertility and oral infections. Enhancement of oral hygiene by proper dental treatments will help to overcome the barrier on bearing a child. Keeping circumstances in mind, this review focus to identify the relationship among infection on oral cavity and fertility problems. This review helps to indicate the relationship among certain pathogen of periodontal disease with fertilization. Although some studies have proved about the inter relationship to certain extent, study must be carried out to know how the conditions relate to each other. Finally, based on few researches done, it is been found that there are possibilities showing the association among infertility and periodontal disease with men and women that may hinder the marital life of individuals. Still studies must be done in greater distance to show the results to prove stronger.

Background: Prior studies have shown the association between periodontal disease, lacunar strokes and cognitive impairment. Using the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) cohort study we investigated the relationship between periodontal disease (PD) and the development of MRI verified small vessel disease. Methods: Using the ARIC database data we extracted data for 1143 (mean age 77 years, 76% white, 24% African-American and 45% male) participants assessed for PD (N=800) versus periodontal health (N=343). These participants were assessed for small vessel disease on 3T MRI as measured by the log of white matter hyperintensity volume (WMHV). WMHV were derived from a semiautomated segmentation of FLAIR images. Student t-test was then used to evaluate the relationship between small vessel disease as the log of WMHV in subjects with PD or periodontal health. Based on WMHV the patients were grouped into quartiles and the association of PD with WMHV were tested using the group in periodontal health and lowest quartile of WMHV as the reference groups. Multinomial logistic regression was used to compute crude and adjusted odds ratio (OR) for the higher quartiles of WMHV compared to the reference quartile. Results: There was a significant increase in the presence of small vessel disease measured as log WMHV in the PD cohort as compared to periodontal health cohort with p= 0.023 on Independent Sample t-est. Based on WMHV the subjects were grouped into quartiles 0-6.41, >6.41-11.56, >11.56-21.36 and >21.36 cu mm3). PD was associated with only the highest quartile of WMHV on univariate (crude OR 1.77, 95% CI 1.23-2.56) and multivariable (adjusted OR 1.61, 95% CI 1.06-2.44) analyses. The later was adjusted for age, race, gender, hypertension, diabetes and smoking. Conclusion: Based on this prospective cohort there is data to suggest that PD may be associated with cerebral small vessel disease. Maintaining proper dental health may decrease future risk for the associated lacunar strokes and vascular cognitive impairment.

Abstract Aim The purpose of this article is to present a review of the potential biological mechanisms underlying the effects of tobacco smoking on periodontal health and periodontal therapy. Background Periodontitis is the result of complex interrelationships between infectious agents and host factors. Environmental, acquired, and genetic risk factors modify the expression of disease and may, therefore, affect the onset or progression of periodontitis. Review Results The study of the relationship between periodontal disease and smoking has received increased attention during the last few years. Tobacco smoking has wide spread systemic effects, many of which may provide mechanisms for the increased susceptibility to periodontitis and the poorer response to treatment. Conclusion Tobacco smoking is a significant risk factor for periodontal disease. Clinical Significance The role smoking plays in periodontal disease should be considered by clinicians and patients during active periodontal therapy and the oral health maintenance phases of care.

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that affects the supporting structures of teeth. The presence of a bacterial biofilm initiates a destructive inflammatory process orchestrated by various inflammatory mediators, most notably proinflammatory cytokines, which are upregulated in the gingival crevicular fluid, leading to the formation of periodontal pockets. This represents a well-characterized microbial change during the transition from periodontal health to periodontitis; interestingly, the gestational condition increases the risk and severity of periodontal disease. Although the influence of periodontitis on pregnancy has been extensively reviewed, the relationship between pregnancy and the development/evolution of periodontitis has been little studied compared to the effect of periodontitis on adverse pregnancy outcomes. This review is aimed at summarizing the findings on the pregnancy-proinflammatory cytokine relationship and discussing its possible involvement in the development of periodontitis. We address (1) an overview of periodontal disease, (2) the immune response and possible involvement of proinflammatory cytokines in the development of periodontitis, (3) how bone tissue remodelling takes place with an emphasis on the involvement of the inflammatory response and metalloproteinases during periodontitis, and (4) the influence of hormonal profile during pregnancy on the development of periodontitis. Finally, we believe this review may be helpful for designing immunotherapies based on the stage of pregnancy to control the severity and pathology of periodontal disease.

The aim of this study is to assess the association of periodontal disease and COVID 19. Coronavirus have been announced pandemic along the globe by the WHO, which have severely affected every countries healthcare framework and health care profession­als globally. Due to this pandemic every individual facing severe problems both economically and emotionally. The similarity seen on inflammatory response pathway shows there is a potential relationship between COVID-19 and Periodontitis are related. Considering the relationship, significant importance should be given to maintain periodontal health, maintaining careful and good oral hygiene in the COVID-19 situation. There is also chance of feasibility that periodontal disease can be susceptible for an individual’s COVID-19 unfavourable outcomes. This relationship shows the interrelation among periodontal disease and COVID-19 and between the cytokine relationship which advices in improving hygiene in oral cavity during this COVID situation. And it is found individuals with periodontal disease have high risk of getting COVID associated unfavourable consequences.

Background: Oral condition is one of substantial factors in general health. Good oral health will determine dental fitness or readiness in military troops. Oral diseases affecting soldiers may have negative impacts in readiness on deployment or fight and contributes to lowering morale among personnel. At the recruitment stage, the prevalence of periodontal disease is low and controlled before the commencement of the training. As a matter of fact, periodontal health was not considered to be maintained and found to be worsening through the course of time. In the end, many of soldiers were found to suffer from periodontal diseases. Method : This review article aims to discuss several factors in military way of life related to oral condition.Result : Lack of oral hygiene practices, stress, deficiency of nutritious food, and smoking among military personnel may contribute to the prevalence of periodontal disease. Several attempts should be incorporated in military life to reduce the negative impacts of these factors on oral health.Conclusion: Periodontal therapy should be provided early in the military careers and repeated at intervals specific to the needs of each personnel. Several risk factors contributing to the development and severity of periodontal disease should be assessed and overcome to arrest the progression of the disease.

Obesity in humans might increase the risk of periodontitis. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between body composition of males and their periodontal status. AS total of 150 males (aged 30–60) were selected: 31 were periodontally healthy, 45 had gingivitis, 39 had initial periodontitis, and 35 suffered from established periodontitis. BMI (body mass index), WC (waist circumference), and body composition parameters (consisting of body water, body fat, and skeletal muscle and bone mass) were measured. After adjusting for age, history of diabetes, smoking, physical activity status, and socioeconomic status, statistically significant correlations were found between periodontitis and BMI, WC, and body composition. There was only a statistically significant difference between the periodontal health and established periodontitis; that is, periodontal disease in mild forms (gingivitis) and initial periodontitis do not influence these variables (BMI, WC, and body composition parameters) and only the severe form of the disease influences the variables. These data suggest that there is a considerable association between severe forms of periodontal disease in males and their body composition, but this preliminary finding needs to be confirmed in more extensive studies.

Although Japan is the second largest music market in the world, the structure and practices of the music industry are little understood internationally. People overseas need to know how the music business works in Japan so that they can conduct business comfortably. The Japanese music industry has unique features in some respects. First, Japanese record labels remain heavily dependent on traditional physically packaged music although its profitability is much lower than that of digital distribution. Second, full-scale competition in the music copyright management business has just begun. While JASRAC monopolized this market for more than sixty years, the new entrant, NexTone has gradually increased the market share thanks to the frustration experienced by many music publishers and songwriters in their dealings with JASRAC. Third, the relationship between artists and artist management companies is more like an employer-employee relationship than a client-agent relationship. Artist management companies are fully invested in discovering, nurturing, and marketing young artists just the way big businesses handle their recruits. This chapter illuminates practices of the Japanese music industry for an international audience.

The response asks about the relationship between artist and audience in the RAAAF artworks. Is the artist an Autonomous Innovator who breaches the ties with the past and the environment? Or is the aesthetic practice located in the creation of relationships around these objects, hence expanding the artwork by using know-how, experiences and enthusiasm of the audience/users?
