Changes in gingivitis and protective factors among adults: A 4-year prospective population-based study.

Objectives: There are limited longitudinal data regarding gingival inflammation in adults. This study aimed to assess changes in gingivitis over 4 years and to determine protective factors.

Methods: A representative sample of 1023 adults living in Porto Alegre, Brazil, was obtained in the Caries-Perio Collaboration Study.

Incidence and progression of gingival recession over 4 years: A population-based longitudinal study.

Aim: To describe changes in gingival recession (GR) at buccal and palatal sites in adults over an average follow-up of 4 years.

Materials And Methods: Baseline data were obtained from a multistage probabilistic representative sample of 1023 individuals aged ≥35 years from Porto Alegre, Brazil. Buccal and palatal/lingual GR were analysed.

Periodontitis and tooth loss have negative impact on dietary intake: A cross-sectional study with stable coronary artery disease patients.

Background: Despite the association between cardiovascular diseases and periodontitis, there are scarce data on the impact of oral health in the dietary intake of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of this study was to assess the association between dietary intake with periodontitis and present teeth in individuals with stable CAD.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 115 patients with stable CAD (76 males, aged 61.

Predictors of dental plaque and gingivitis in patients receiving integrated dental treatment-a longitudinal retrospective study.

Objectives: The identification of predictors of supragingival biofilm accumulation may improve the results of therapeutic strategies for dental caries and periodontal diseases in general clinical practice. This study aimed to determine predictors of changes in visible plaque (VP) and gingival bleeding (GB) during integrated dental care.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective longitudinal study was conducted by a census of patients receiving integrated dental care in a general clinical practice ambulatory at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil).
