Introduction: Gingival fenestration (GF) is scarcely reported in the literature. We present a unique case of GF defect combined with gingivitis and altered passive eruption (APE).
Case Presentation: An 18-year-old female patient with gingivitis, APE, and GF in the mandibular left central incisor presented for periodontal treatment.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on understanding the oral health issues in individuals with HIV/AIDS by analyzing factors like lifestyle, socioeconomic status, and specific oral diseases such as dental caries and periodontitis among 312 patients in Bahia, Brazil.
- Results revealed high prevalence rates of oral health problems: 78.7% had dental caries, 25.4% suffered from periodontitis, and 36.2% experienced intra-oral lesions.
- Significant associations were found between oral health status and various factors, including gender, age, income, smoking habits, and certain HIV-related measures, suggesting that many determinants of oral diseases are similar in both HIV-positive and HIV-negative populations.
Objective: To profile the abundance and diversity of subgingival oral microbiota in patients with never-treated, new-onset rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods: Periodontal disease (PD) status, clinical activity, and sociodemographic factors were determined in patients with new-onset RA, patients with chronic RA, and healthy subjects. Multiplexed-454 pyrosequencing was used to compare the composition of subgingival microbiota and establish correlations between the presence/abundance of bacteria and disease phenotypes.
This study compared the anatomical features of the tongue in nine pairs of twins - six monozygotic and three dizygotic. The aim of the project was to determine if tongues, like any other anatomical structure, could be used to reliably predict relatedness given that tongue shape, presentation and surface can be influenced by environment. Using the method of forced choice, 30 subjects were asked to match the photographs of tongues from twins.
