Utilization of Prognosis Assignment: A Cross-Sectional Survey of Military Periodontists.

Introduction: Prognosis is a forecast of the likely course of a disease and its future implications on treatment outcomes. The significance of periodontal prognosis in clinical practice is evident by its influence on treatment planning, communication, and in the retrospective evaluation of treatment results. While there are multiple well-known prognosis systems reported in the periodontal dental literature, there is an absence of data on the actual use of prognosis assignment among practicing clinicians.

Aggregation of Human Platelets by .

Context: Periodontitis is a persistent infection of the tissues surrounding the teeth characterized by inflamed microvasculature, and is associated with increased systemic platelet activation.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to assess the platelet aggregating potential of the red-complex bacterium . A second-related objective was to ascertain the effect of dual platelet inhibitors on -platelet interaction.
