Gingival crevicular fluid biomarkers in type 1 diabetes mellitus: A case-control study.

Objective: The aim of the study is to compare the levels of Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF) interleukin 8 (IL-8), matrix metalloproteinase 8 (MMP-8) and advanced glycated-end products (AGEs) in a cohort of type 1 diabetic (T1D) subjects and healthy controls.

Material And Methods: GCF samples and periodontal examination were assessed in 50 subjects with T1D (30 males and 20 females; mean age: 35.2 years) recruited from the Diabetology Unit of the Geneva University Hospitals and in 50 control subjects matched for gender, age and smoking status.

Removal of osseointegrated dental implants: a systematic review of explantation techniques.

Objectives: This systematic review aims to evaluate current literature regarding available techniques for removal of osseointegrated implants in terms of explantation's success, complications, and bone loss.

Material And Methods: Two reviewers conducted a systematic literature search through electronic databases (PubMed and EMBASE), complimented by manual and grey literature searches. Successful explantation was defined as the primary outcome.

Periodontal health in a cohort of subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

To evaluate periodontal health and oral health behaviors in a cohort of subjects with type 1 diabetes (T1D), 50 persons with T1D (30 males and 20 females; mean age: 35.2 years) were recruited from the Diabetology Unit of the Geneva University Hospitals; 50 nondiabetic persons matched for gender, age, and smoking status comprised the control group. We assessed periodontal health using the gingival index (GI), plaque index, probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP), and clinical attachment level (CAL) and recorded self-reported attitudes and behaviors regarding dental care.
