Objectives: As reported by the existing literature, calcium-channel blockers (CCB) can lead to gingival enlargement. The aims of this study were to investigate the factors associated with gingival enlargement in patients on CCB and to assess the saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) profile of patients on CCB with gingival enlargement.
Methods: A total of 131 participants were included.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate metabolomics markers in the saliva of patients with periodontal health, gingivitis and periodontitis.
Background: The use of metabolomics for diagnosing and monitoring periodontitis is promising. Although several metabolites have been reported to be altered by inflammation, few studies have examined metabolomics in saliva collected from patients with different periodontal phenotypes.
Aim: To explore the existing salivary, gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), blood, and serum biomarkers associated with grade C molar-incisor pattern (C/MIP) periodontitis in systemically healthy children and young adults.
Materials And Methods: Cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort studies on stage III grade C periodontitis or former equivalent diagnosis with analysis of molecular biomarkers in saliva, GCF, blood, or serum were retrieved from six databases and screened based on the eligibility criteria. The risk of bias in included studies was evaluated.
To appraise the literature on the prevalence of the JP2 clone of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A.a.) and on its association with presence and progression of periodontitis in different populations.
