AI Article Synopsis

  • The prevalence and severity of periodontal disease in children and young adults in the SFR Yugoslavia show patterns similar to those in other European regions.
  • Periodontal disease is a significant cause of tooth extractions in individuals over 35, highlighting its impact on oral health.
  • A nationwide survey started in 1984 aims to assess the prevalence of gingivitis and periodontitis, with optimism for improvements due to a better dentist-to-population ratio.

Article Abstract

The prevalence of periodontal disease and its severity in children and young adults in the republics of the SFR Yugoslavia have been assessed. Although some regional differences have been reported the overall pattern is that periodontal disease in Yugoslavia has similar characteristics to the disease found elsewhere in Europe. Data for tooth loss indicate the importance of periodontal disease as a reason for extractions in those who are over 35 years of age. A nationwide survey of the prevalence of gingivitis and periodontitis was begun in 1984 and the results are awaited with interest. The recent improvement in dentist:population ratio in Yugoslavia will favour prevention and allow disease to be combatted at an earlier age. The steps required are outlined.

Objective: Aim: Optimization of conservative treatment schemes for generalized periodontitis (GP) against the background of somatic pathology, depending on the indicators of the Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN).

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: CPITN was performed in 134 patients with GP against the background of various somatic pathologies and divided into main and comparison subgroups. Treatment scheme No.

Unlabelled: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a prevalent malignancy in the oral-maxillofacial region with a poor prognosis. Oral microbiomes play a potential role in the pathogenesis of this disease. However, findings from individual studies have been inconsistent, and a comprehensive understanding of OSCC-associated microbiome dysbiosis remains elusive.

Aim: Tissue-invasive bacteria have been proposed to be a crucial factor in the etiopathogenesis of periodontitis, with the probable interaction of tissue-invasive bacteria with the innate immune response through inflammasomes, perpetuating periodontal attachment loss. This study aims to reveal the correlation between such tissue-invasive bacteria in upregulating inflammasomes and pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Materials And Methods: This study recruited a total of 10 patients with stage III/IV and grade C periodontitis based on the bone loss to age ratio.

Aim: To assess hard as well as soft peri-implant tissues within cases having two lost adjacent anterior teeth treated through placing either two implants with two separate crowns or only an implant along with a crown with a cantilever, and evaluating the effect of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) restoration on cantilever design up to 18 months after functional loading.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-seven participants (15 males and 12 females; mean age, 38.6 years; range 20-50 years) with missing two adjacent anterior teeth were treated with implant system (Flotecno implant system, Italy).

Background/purpose: Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family caspase recruitment domain containing protein 5 (NLRC5) plays a regulatory role in innate and adaptive immunity. However, its role in periodontitis remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of NLRC5 on periodontitis and the underlying mechanism.
