February 2008
Purpose: To investigate the effect of periodontal initial therapy on metabolic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with chronic periodontitis.
Methods: Thirty type 2 diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis were selected as experimental group, 30 patients with chronic periodontitis were selected as control group. Their gingival index(GI), probing depth(PD), clinical attachment level(CAL), fasting plasma glucose(FPG), glycated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c), total cholesterol(TC) and triglyceride(TG) were evaluated using SAS 6.
[Effect of enamel matrix protein on periodontal cells in an in vitro wound healing model].
Shanghai Kou Qiang Yi Xue
June 2007
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of enamel matrix protein (EMP) on wound filling of periodontal ligament cells (PDLC) and gingival fibroblasts (GF), using an in vitro model of wound healing.
Methods: In vitro wound models were mechanically created in subconfluent cultures of human GF and PDLC, by removing a 7mm wide band of the cell layer respectively. Wounded cultures were then incubated for a time periods up to 2,6,9 days in a media containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), stimulated with EMP (100microg/ml) simultaneously, negative controls were those cultured only with media containing 10% FBS.
