MANNOSE-BINDING LECTIN POLYMORPHISM, GENETIC PERIODONTITIS DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2 |
Abstract: |
Aim: Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is an important protein of the innate immune system. It is able to bind to sugar groups encountered on the surfaces of a wide range of microorganisms and interacts with serine proteases (MASPs) to effect the activation of complement. Mutations of the expressed human MBL2 gene have been associated with several infections; this preliminary study thus sets out to assess the association between the polymorphism in exon-1 of the MBL2 gene and periodontal disease in type 2 diabetic patients. Material and Methods: The sample comprised 50 diabetic patients, who were submitted to a clinical periodontal examination that evaluated in six sites per tooth probing depth, bleeding on probing, clinical recession, dental plaque and the number of teeth present. Periodontal disease was defined as 4+ sites of loss of attachment of 5+ mm, with one or more of those sites having a pocket of 4+ mm (Beck’s criteria). The collection of scaling cells from the oral mucosa was carried out and the detection of polymorphism was made by the technique of real time PCR (RT-PCR) using the melting temperature curve analysis. Results: The data revealed that no statistically significant differences in the genotype (p=0.564) or the allele (p=0.643) frequencies were observed among the healthy individuals or those with periodontitis. Conclusions: The polymorphism in exon-1 of the MBL2 gene was not related to the periodontal disease in the sample evaluated. |

ORAL HEALTH QUALITY OF LIFE PERIODONTAL DISEASES PERIODONTITIS |
Abstract: |
Svrha: Istraživanja utjecaja oralnog zdravlja na kvalitetu života koriste se mnogim indeksima kvalitete života. Zadatak ove analize bio je procijeniti vezu parodontitisa i kvalitete života na uzorku pacijenata s parodontitisom. Materijal i načini: Ukupno 302 pacijenta s blagim, umjerenim i teškim parodontitisom odgovorilo je na pitanja u upitniku kojim su se ispitivale sociološko-ekonomske varijable (dob, spol, školovanje, bračno stanje te prihod) te na upitnik OHQoL-UK-a (United Kingdom Oral Health-Related Quality of Life). Cilj je bio procijeniti utjecaj parodontitisa na kvalitetu života. Rezultati: Parodontitis ima velik utjecaj na kvalitetu života, sa statistički znatnim razlikama kad je riječ o jedenju, izgledu, općem zdravlju, osmijehu te sociološko-ekonomskom statusu. Vrijednosti OHQoL-UK-a pokazale su povezanost sa spolom i prihodom kućanstva (p<0,05). Statistički velika povezanost bila je između stupnja parodontitisa i vrijednosti OHQoL-UK-a (p<0,05), no niže vrijednosti kvalitete života bile su češće kod pojedinaca s težim oblicima kroničnog parodontitisa. Zaključak: Ovo istraživanje o utjecaju parodontitisa na kvalitetu života otkrilo je da su negativni aspekti češći kod pojedinaca s teškim kroničnim parodontitisom, što upućuje na samopercepciju pacijenata kad je riječ o zdravlju parodontalnih tkiva. |

PERIODONTITIS SALIVA ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE LACTOFERRIN PEROXIDASE INTERLEUKIN-1 ENZYME-LINKED IMMUNOSORBENT ASSAY CYTOKINES |
Abstract: |
Purpose: Little is known on levels of inflammatory mediators in saliva in periodontitis-affected individuals. Material and Methods: In order to establish the pattern of their concentrations in different stages of periodontal healing process, we have measured the levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactoferrin (LF), myeloperoxidase (MPO), interleukin-1 (IL-1), and GRO-α in patients with previous periodontal disease. Whole saliva samples were collected immediately following, as well as eight weeks after periodontal treatment in a group of 16 subjects with clinical signs and symptoms of periodontitis. Results: Statistical analysis revealed significant differences of clinical periodontal parameters and in levels of mediators between two measurements. Concentrations of CRP, LF, GRO, MPO, IL-1 and ALP decreased with periodontal healing, while the concentration of β2-MG was increased. Conclusion: It may be concluded that cytokine concentrations are possible risk indicators for active periodontal disease. |

PERIODONTITIS ALVEOLAR BONE LOSS SPECIALTY USES OF CHEMICALS DENTAL PLAQUE |
Abstract: |
The object/purpose of this investigation was to examine the condition of the periodontium in employees working in the Chemistry Department of the Shipyard in Rijeka. Thirty-four employees participated in the examination, aged 25 to 55 years, the majority of which work in direct contact with chemicals. The control group consisted of 90 examinees/subjects of the same age, not employed in the Chemistry Department of the Shipyard. The presence of periodontal changes in the examinees were based on a finding of gingival bleeding, dental plaque and tartar, probing depth of 3 mm and more and loss of attachment. Non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of two independent groups, the examinees and a control group. The results of the examination showed inflammatory gingival changes in 85% of the employees. In the examined group the greatest probing depth of periodontal pockets was in the lower central incisors, 3.06 ± 1.51 mm and 3.09 ± 1.58 mm, which was statistically significantly different in relation to the control group (p < 0.001). The greatest loss of attachment in the examined group was also in the lower central incisors, and amounted to 3.56 ± 2.67 mm and 3.53 ± 2.62, which differed significantly from the findings in examinees in the control group (p < 0.001). On the basis of the findings of inflammatory changes in the periodontium and the presence of probing depth and loss of attachment, indicating chronic periodontitis in the majority of examinees compared to the control group, it can be said that the specific environment has a negative effect on the periodontal condition of employees in the Chemistry Department of the Shipyard, which requires regular control of the periodontal condition of these employees. |

PERIODONTITIS DIABETES MELLITUS TOBACCO USE DISORDER |
Abstract: |
Objective of work. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of diabetes mellitus (DM) duration and HbA1c level on periodontal status of patients with insulin- dependent DM, as well as the combined effect of smoking and HbA1c level on periodontal status. Subjects were randomly selected from the patients with insulindependent DM that are treated at the Department of Endocrinology in the hospital “Sveti Duh”. Data was gathered by means of an interview, clinical periodontal investigation and patients’ charts from the department. Sites with probing depth of 5 mm and greater were selected as sites with periodontitis. By means of Poisson regression model a relative risk with 95% confi dence interval was computed, corrected for age of the subjects. Relative risk for attachment loss in smokers was 12.805, and for probing depth in smokers 7.99. Relative risk of the HbA1c level > 8.5 in smokers was 10.681 (p = 0.002), and 8.214 (p = 0.006) for HbA1c level ≤ 8.5. Relative risk for attachment loss in nonsmokers was 4.891 (p = 0.031). It was concluded that insulin-dependent smokers with poor glycemic control have the greatest risk for development and progression of periodontal disease. |

PERIODONTITIS |
Abstract: |
New investigations have definitely acknowledged a clinically relevant two-way relationship between periodontitis and certain systemic diseases and conditions which are significant for the dentist in daily practice, and for a physician as well. This review article yields the most up-to-date information on the role of periodontal disease in systemic diseases that include cardiovascular diseases and atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitusm respiratory diseases and unfavorable pregnancy outcomes. It debates the role of diabetes and smoking in the periodontal tissues. |
