Background/purpose: The oral cavity is considered a reservoir of associated with gastric infection. It aimed to examine the prevalence of strains from the oral cavity and gastric tissue of patients with different stage of gastric-diseases. Strains were further characterized for virulence genes, adhesion ability, and inflammation responses.

Subsequently, the anti-adhesion and co-aggregation abilities of the selected probiotic strains on strains were investigated.
Methods: Nine strains, including ATCC43504 (type strain), and 8 clinical strains, were isolated from oral samples of three patients (one non-disease, one gastritis patient, and one gastric cancer patient).
Objectives:: To determine upper incisor root resorption, volume loss, and the relationship between root volume loss and tooth movement after 1 year of orthodontic treatment in patients with marginal bone loss.
Materials And Methods:: A total of 30 women (46.3 ± 5.
Objective: To measure the changes in tooth mobility, alveolar bone, and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) during orthodontic treatment to regain incisal function in the presence and absence of biting exercises.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-six females (42.3 ± 6.
A high proportion of non-serotypeable isolates of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans among Thai periodontitis cases has been previously reported. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of leukotoxin and toxicity, cytolethal distending toxin (Cdts), and internalization and the killing effect on fibroblasts by A. actinomycetemcomitans subtypes from Thai chronic periodontitis cases.

Design: Forty-four adult Thai periodontitis patients were assessed by a full mouth recording for CAL, PPD, and BOP. Seventy-nine strains of A.
