Polymerase Chain Reaction
In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
Chi-Square Distribution
A distribution in which a variable is distributed like the sum of the squares of any given independent random variable, each of which has a normal distribution with mean of zero and variance of one. The chi-square test is a statistical test based on comparison of a test statistic to a chi-square distribution. The oldest of these tests are used to detect whether two or more population distributions differ from one another.
Biofilms
Encrustations, formed from microbes (bacteria, algae, fungi, plankton, or protozoa) embedding in extracellular polymers, that adhere to surfaces such as teeth (DENTAL DEPOSITS); PROSTHESES AND IMPLANTS; and catheters.

Effect of Porphyromonas gingivalis PrtC on cytokine expression in ECV304 endothelial cells and its level in subgingival plaques from patients with chronic periodontitis. (1/253)

AIM: To investigate the effect of the collagenase gene (prtC) product of Porphyromonas gingivalis on inducing host cells to secrete inflammatory cytokines, and to discuss the correlation between the PrtC level in subgingival plaque samples and clinical parameters. METHODS: A prokaryotic expression system pET32a-prtC-Escheria coli BL21DE3 was constructed. Antigenicity and immunoreactivity of the recombinant PrtC protein (rPrtC) was identified by Western blotting. ELISA was applied to detect interleukin (IL)-1alpha, IL-8, and TNF-alpha levels in supernatants from rPrtC-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) originated ECV304 cells. Clinical parameters recorded at baseline and after treatment included bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), and attachment loss (AL). ELISA was established to measure the PrtC level in 196 subgingival plaque samples from 49 patients with chronic periodontitis. RESULTS: After coincubation with 1 microg/mL rPrtC for 24 h and with 5 or 10 microg/mL rPrtC for 12 h, the levels of IL-1 alpha, IL-8, and TNF-alpha secreted by the ECV304 cells increased significantly (P<0.05). The PrtC level in the BOP-positive or the > or =5 mm AL or > or = 6 mm PD sites was higher than that in the BOP-negative or the < or =2 mm AL or < or =6 mm PD sites (P<0.05), respectively. Compared with baseline, the PrtC levels in different AL sites or in the < or =6 mm PD pockets decreased remarkably after treatment (P<0.01), but in the BOP-positive or in the > 6 mm PD sites, the PrtC levels changed insignificantly (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: rPrtC is able to directly induce host cells to synthesize and secrete IL-1 alpha, IL-8, and TNF-alpha. The PrtC level in subgingival samples is correlated with BOP, AL, and PD.  (+info)

Transmission of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans between Brazilian women with severe chronic periodontitis and their children. (2/253)

This study evaluated the transmission of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) in women with severe chronic periodontitis and their children. Thirty women (mean age = 36.1+/-6.0 years) who were mothers of at least one child aged 7 to 16 years were enrolled. In order to investigate mother-child transmission of Aa, the children were also evaluated when their mothers were colonized by the bacterium. Subgingival plaque samples of each woman were collected from 3 sites (mean probing depth of 7.3+/-1.2 mm and mean clinical attachment level of 7.9+/-1.5 mm) and pooled in reduced transport fluid (RTF). These samples were processed, inoculated onto TSBV-agar selective medium and incubated at 37 degrees C in microaerophilic atmosphere for 5 days. Aa was identified on the basis of colony morphology, Gram staining, catalase and oxidase reactions. Aa was found in 8 out of 30 women. Therefore, 8 children from these women (mean age= 12 +/- 3.7 years) were evaluated, but Aa was found only in 2 of them. Aa strains of the two mother-child pairs were evaluated by arbitrarily-primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR), although it was not found similarity between the amplitypes of each pair. No Aa transmission was found between Brazilian women with severe chronic periodontitis and their children.  (+info)

A double-blind randomized clinical trial of subgingival minocycline for chronic periodontitis. (5/253)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the presence of A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. gingivalis, P. intermedia, E. corrodens and F. nucleatum in 30 subjects with chronic periodontitis treated by scaling and root planing (SRP) plus minocycline (test group) during 12 months with regular trimester maintenance care. Additionally, we evaluated whether the beneficial effects of the therapy on the microbial flora persisted for 24 months. The test group (n = 15) and the control group [SRP plus placebo (n = 15)] were randomly assigned. After SRP, subjects received minocycline or placebo at the baseline, and at 3, 6, and 9 months at all sites with a periodontal pocket depth (PD) of >or= 6 mm. Moreover, two homologous teeth, initially PD >or= 6 mm, were clinically and microbially monitored by PCR at the baseline, and at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 months. Differences in mean PD values between groups were analyzed by Student's t-test (P < 0.05). The results for bacterial frequencies showed no significant differences between groups (Fisher's Exact test, P < 0.05) or between time-points (Friedman test, P < 0.05). We failed to detect any differences between groups related to the presence of target pathogens for 12 months. The effects of both therapies on the microbial flora did not persist for 24 months. The group without supportive periodontal therapy showed an improvement in the pattern of pathogens with either of the therapies.  (+info)

* Heart disease
* Stroke

Note: This definition is a general overview of chronic periodontitis and is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice. If you suspect you have chronic periodontitis, it is important to consult with a dentist or other qualified healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Periodontitis is a type of gum disease that affects the tissues surrounding teeth, including the gums, periodontal ligament, and jawbone. It is a progressive inflammatory disease that can lead to the destruction of the supporting structure of the teeth, causing tooth loss if left untreated.

The main causes of periodontitis are poor oral hygiene, smoking, and certain medical conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. The symptoms of periodontitis include:

* Redness and swelling of the gums
* Bad breath
* Bleeding while brushing or flossing
* Pocket formation between the teeth and gums
* Loose teeth or changes in the bite
* Changes in the color or shape of the gums

If left untreated, periodontitis can lead to serious complications such as:

* Tooth loss
* Bone loss around the teeth
* Infection of the dental implant or prosthetic tooth
* Spread of bacteria to other parts of the body, leading to systemic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.

Periodontitis can be treated by a dentist or periodontist with a combination of non-surgical and surgical procedures, including:

* Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning of the teeth and roots)
* Antibiotics to treat infection
* Bone grafting to restore lost bone tissue
* Gum grafting to cover exposed roots
* Dental implants or prosthetic teeth to replace missing teeth.

It is important to practice good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing regularly, to prevent periodontitis. Early detection and treatment can help prevent the progression of the disease and save teeth from being lost.

Periodontal Pocket: A triangular-shaped space that forms between the tooth and the surrounding gum tissue as a result of periodontal disease. The pocket provides a haven for bacteria to grow and can eventually lead to the loss of the tooth if left untreated.

Aggressive periodontitis is a severe and rapidly progressing form of periodontal disease that affects young adults, typically under the age of 30. It is characterized by rapid attachment loss, bone destruction, and exuberant inflammation. The condition can lead to tooth loss if left untreated.

The exact cause of aggressive periodontitis is not fully understood, but it is believed to be linked to factors such as genetics, smoking, and poor oral hygiene. Treatment options include antibiotics, surgical therapy, and lifestyle changes such as improved oral hygiene and quitting smoking.

A more detailed definition of aggressive periodontitis is: "An acute or chronic form of periodontitis that is characterized by rapid attachment loss, bone destruction, exuberant inflammation, and pain, and often affects young adults who are otherwise healthy. The condition can lead to tooth loss if left untreated."

Periodontal attachment loss is a condition where there is a loss of periodontal ligament and cementum (the attachment apparatus of the tooth) due to inflammation, bone resorption or other factors. This can lead to loosening of the teeth and potentially tooth loss if not treated properly.

It is common for people with poor oral hygiene habits, smokers or those with systemic diseases such as diabetes or heart disease to experience periodontal attachment loss. It can also be a consequence of aging, as the supporting bone and gum tissue around the teeth can degenerate over time.

There are several risk factors for periodontal attachment loss, including:

* Poor oral hygiene habits
* Smoking
* Systemic diseases such as diabetes or heart disease
* Genetic predisposition
* Poor diet
* Inadequate salivary flow
* Malocclusion (bad bite)

There are several treatment options available for periodontal attachment loss, including:

* Scaling and root planing (a deep cleaning of the teeth and beneath the gum line)
* Guided tissue regeneration (a surgical procedure to promote new bone growth)
* Bone grafting (a surgical procedure to repair or replace damaged bone)
* Dental implants (artificial tooth roots that are placed in the jawbone to support a dental crown or bridge)

It is important to note that periodontal attachment loss can be prevented with proper oral hygiene habits, regular dental check-ups and prompt treatment of any oral health issues.

Gingival hemorrhage is a condition where there is bleeding from the gums, which can be caused by a variety of factors such as poor oral hygiene, gum disease, or injury to the gums. It is important to seek professional dental care if you experience gingival hemorrhage, as it can be a sign of a more serious underlying condition that needs to be addressed.

Here are some common causes of gingival hemorrhage:

1. Poor oral hygiene: When you don't brush and floss regularly, plaque and tartar can build up along the gum line, leading to inflammation and bleeding.
2. Gingivitis: This is an early stage of gum disease that can cause swollen, red gums that bleed easily.
3. Periodontitis: This is a more advanced stage of gum disease that can cause the gums to pull away from the teeth and create pockets where bacteria can grow, leading to bleeding.
4. Injury to the gums: If you accidentally bite your lip or tongue, or if you have a sharp object pierce your gum, it can cause bleeding.
5. Medications: Certain medications such as aspirin, warfarin, and prednisone can thin the blood and increase the risk of gingival hemorrhage.
6. Hormonal changes: Changes in hormone levels during pregnancy, menstruation, or menopause can increase the risk of gingival hemorrhage.
7. Vitamin deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins such as vitamin C and K can impair the body's ability to clot blood and increase the risk of bleeding gums.
8. Systemic diseases: Certain systemic diseases such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and liver disease can increase the risk of gingival hemorrhage.

If you experience gingival hemorrhage, your dentist may perform a thorough examination to determine the underlying cause. Treatment options will depend on the severity of the condition, but may include professional cleaning, antibiotics, or surgery. It is important to maintain good oral hygiene practices and visit your dentist regularly to prevent and manage gingival hemorrhage.

Gingivitis is a common and mild form of gum disease that affects the gums around the teeth. It is caused by the buildup of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, on the teeth. Plaque can cause inflammation (swelling) of the gums, leading to redness, bleeding, and tenderness.

Gingivitis can be treated with good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing regularly, and by visiting a dentist for regular check-ups and professional cleanings. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease that can lead to permanent damage and tooth loss.

Some common symptoms of gingivitis include:

* Red and swollen gums
* Bleeding during brushing or flossing
* Bad breath
* Tenderness or pain in the gums
* A decrease in the amount of saliva

Treatment for gingivitis typically involves a combination of good oral hygiene practices and professional dental care. This may include:

* Regular brushing and flossing to remove plaque and bacteria from the teeth
* Professional cleanings ( scaling and root planing) to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth
* Antibiotics to treat any underlying infections
* Changes to diet and lifestyle to reduce the risk of further irritation to the gums.

It's important to note that while gingivitis is a mild form of gum disease, it can still have serious consequences if left untreated. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices are essential for preventing and treating gingivitis.

Alveolar bone loss refers to the resorption or loss of the alveolar bone, which is the bone that surrounds and supports the teeth in their sockets (alveoli). This type of bone loss can occur due to various reasons such as periodontal disease, injury, or surgery.

The alveolar bone is a specialized type of bone that forms the socket in which the tooth roots are embedded. It provides support and stability to the teeth and helps maintain the proper position of the teeth in their sockets. When the alveolar bone is lost, the teeth may become loose or even fall out completely.

Alveolar bone loss can be detected through various diagnostic methods such as dental X-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans. Treatment options for alveolar bone loss depend on the underlying cause and may include antibiotics, bone grafting, or tooth extraction.

In the context of dentistry, alveolar bone loss is a common complication of periodontal disease, which is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gums and bone. The bacteria that cause periodontal disease can lead to the destruction of the alveolar bone, resulting in tooth loss.

In addition to periodontal disease, other factors that can contribute to alveolar bone loss include:

* Trauma or injury to the teeth or jaw
* Poorly fitting dentures or other prosthetic devices
* Infections or abscesses in the mouth
* Certain systemic diseases such as osteoporosis or cancer

Overall, alveolar bone loss is a significant issue in dentistry and can have a major impact on the health and function of the teeth and jaw. It is essential to seek professional dental care if symptoms of alveolar bone loss are present to prevent further damage and restore oral health.

Dental plaque is a biofilm that forms on teeth and gums, composed of bacteria, food particles, and other organic matter. It is a sticky, colorless film that can build up over time if not properly removed through regular brushing and flossing. Plaque contains acids that can damage tooth enamel and cause cavities, as well as inflame the gums, leading to conditions such as gingivitis and periodontal disease.

Plaque is a key risk factor for dental caries (tooth decay) and periodontal disease, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. In addition, research suggests that there may be a link between oral bacteria and certain systemic diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes. Therefore, maintaining good oral hygiene practices, such as regular brushing and flossing, is essential to prevent the accumulation of plaque and promote overall health.

Bacteroidaceae infections refer to a group of bacterial infections caused by members of the family Bacteroidaceae, which includes several genera such as Bacteroides, Parabacteroides, and Chryseobacterium. These infections can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, respiratory tract, urinary tract, and digestive system.

Some common types of Bacteroidaceae infections include:

1. Bacteroiditis: This is an infection caused by Bacteroides fragilis, which is a common resident of the human gut microbiome. Bacteroiditis can occur when the bacteria enter the bloodstream or other parts of the body, causing symptoms such as fever, chills, and swelling.
2. Parabacteroides infection: This type of infection is caused by the bacterium Parabacteroides distasonis, which is found in the gut microbiome. Parabacteroides infections can cause a range of symptoms, including diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever.
3. Chryseobacterium infection: This type of infection is caused by the bacterium Chryseobacterium spp., which is found in the environment and can enter the body through wounds or other openings. Chryseobacterium infections can cause symptoms such as fever, chills, and swelling.

Bacteroidaceae infections can be diagnosed through a variety of tests, including blood cultures, urine cultures, and tissue biopsies. Treatment typically involves the use of antibiotics, and in some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to remove infected tissue or repair damaged structures.

Preventive measures for Bacteroidaceae infections include good hygiene practices such as handwashing, proper wound care, and avoiding close contact with people who are sick. In some cases, antibiotic prophylaxis may be recommended to prevent infection in individuals who are at high risk of developing Bacteroidaceae infections, such as those with weakened immune systems or chronic medical conditions.

In conclusion, Bacteroidaceae is a family of bacteria that can cause a variety of infections in the body, ranging from mild to severe. Understanding the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for these infections can help healthcare providers provide effective care for individuals who are affected by Bacteroidaceae infections. Preventive measures such as good hygiene practices and antibiotic prophylaxis can also help reduce the risk of developing these infections.

Periapical periodontitis, also known as periapical granuloma, is a type of periodontal disease that affects the pulp of the tooth and the surrounding tissues. It occurs when bacteria enter the dentinal tubules of the tooth and cause an inflammatory response. This can lead to the formation of a granuloma, which is a mass of immune cells that attempt to wall off the infection.

Symptoms of periapical periodontitis may include:

* Pain or tenderness in the affected tooth
* Swelling and redness in the gum tissue
* Bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
* Discharge of pus from the affected tooth

Periapical periodontitis is typically diagnosed through a combination of clinical examination and diagnostic tests such as radiographs (x-rays) or dental scans. Treatment may involve antibiotics, a root canal, or extraction of the affected tooth, depending on the severity of the infection and the extent of damage to the pulp and surrounding tissues.

Peri-implantitis is a condition that affects the soft and hard tissues surrounding dental implants, causing inflammation and progressive loss of supporting bone. It is a common complication of dental implant placement and can lead to failure of the implant if left untreated.

Peri-implantitis is characterized by symptoms such as bleeding, swelling, pain, and difficulty chewing. The condition is caused by a combination of factors, including poor oral hygiene, smoking, poorly fitted dentures, and an excessive amount of bacteria on the implant surface.

Treatment for peri-implantitis typically involves a thorough cleaning of the implant surface and surrounding tissues, as well as antibiotics to reduce inflammation. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to remove any infected tissue and restore the health of the implant and supporting bone.

Preventative measures for peri-implantitis include good oral hygiene practices such as regular brushing and flossing, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and ensuring proper fit and maintenance of dentures and other prosthetic devices. Early detection and treatment of the condition can help prevent more severe complications and ensure the long-term success of the implant.

Furcation defects are a type of dental defect that occurs when the furcations, or the branches of the root of a tooth, do not properly form or close. This can lead to various oral health issues, including sensitivity, pain, and increased risk of infection. Furcation defects can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, trauma, and poor oral hygiene. Treatment options for furcation defects depend on the severity of the condition and may include dental fillings, root canal therapy, or extraction.

Periodontal disease (also known as gum disease) is a progressive inflammatory disease that affects the supporting and surrounding tissues of the teeth, including the gums, periodontal ligament, and jawbone. It is caused by the bacterial plaque that accumulates on the teeth and leads to chronic inflammation, which can cause damage to these tissues and eventually result in tooth loss.

There are several types of periodontal diseases, including:

1. Gingivitis: This is the mildest form of periodontal disease, characterized by redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums. It is reversible with proper treatment and good oral hygiene.
2. Periodontitis: This is a more severe form of periodontal disease, characterized by the destruction of the periodontal ligament and the jawbone. It can cause teeth to become loose or fall out.
3. Advanced periodontitis: This is the most severe form of periodontal disease, characterized by extensive bone loss and severe gum damage.
4. Periodontal abscess: This is a pocket of pus that forms in the gum tissue as a result of the infection.
5. Peri-implantitis: This is a condition that affects the tissues surrounding dental implants, similar to periodontal disease.

The causes and risk factors for periodontal diseases include:

1. Poor oral hygiene
2. Smoking
3. Diabetes
4. Genetic predisposition
5. Hormonal changes during pregnancy or menopause
6. Poor diet
7. Stress
8. Certain medications

The symptoms of periodontal diseases can include:

1. Redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums
2. Bad breath
3. Loose teeth or teeth that feel like they are shifting in their sockets
4. Pus between the teeth and gums
5. Changes in the way teeth fit together when biting down

Treatment for periodontal diseases typically involves a combination of professional cleaning, antibiotics, and changes to oral hygiene habits at home. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove infected tissue and restore the health of the teeth and gums.

Preventing periodontal diseases includes:

1. Brushing teeth at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste
2. Flossing once a day to remove plaque from between the teeth
3. Using an antibacterial mouthwash
4. Eating a balanced diet and avoiding sugary or acidic foods
5. Quitting smoking
6. Maintaining regular dental check-ups and cleanings.

Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (NUG) is a severe, painful condition that affects the gums and can lead to gum tissue death if left untreated. It is most commonly seen in individuals with poor oral hygiene, smokers, and those with a history of periodontal disease.

Symptoms of NUG include:

* Severe pain in the gums, especially when chewing or biting
* Swollen, tender gums that may be purple or blue-gray in color
* Pus-filled abscesses on the gums
* Bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
* Difficulty opening the mouth or swallowing
* A high fever

If you suspect you have NUG, it is essential to seek medical attention as soon as possible. A healthcare professional will diagnose the condition based on your symptoms and a physical examination of your mouth. Treatment typically involves antibiotics to clear up any infection and surgery to remove dead tissue. Good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing regularly, can also help prevent the condition from returning.

While NUG is a severe condition, early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent complications and restore the health of your gums. It is essential to practice good oral hygiene and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups to prevent this condition from occurring in the first place.

Actinobacillus is a type of gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria that can cause infections in humans and animals. Actinobacillus infections are relatively rare but can be serious and potentially life-threatening. In this article, we will explore the definition, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of Actinobacillus infections.

Definition:

Actinobacillus infections are bacterial infections caused by the Actinobacillus genus of bacteria. These bacteria can cause a range of illnesses, from mild to severe, and can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, respiratory tract, digestive system, and bloodstream.

Causes:

Actinobacillus infections are typically caused by exposure to contaminated food or water or through contact with an infected animal or person. The bacteria can enter the body through cuts or wounds or through the respiratory tract. People with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS or undergoing chemotherapy, are more susceptible to Actinobacillus infections.

Symptoms:

The symptoms of Actinobacillus infections can vary depending on the severity of the infection and the location of the infection. Common symptoms include fever, chills, muscle aches, joint pain, and swollen lymph nodes. In more severe cases, Actinobacillus infections can cause pneumonia, meningitis, or sepsis.

Diagnosis:

Diagnosis of Actinobacillus infections typically involves a combination of physical examination, medical history, and laboratory tests. Blood cultures, PCR tests, and imaging studies such as X-rays or CT scans may be ordered to confirm the diagnosis and determine the severity of the infection.

Treatment:

The treatment of Actinobacillus infections depends on the severity of the infection and the location of the infection. Mild cases may be treated with antibiotics such as penicillin or amoxicillin, while more severe cases may require hospitalization and intravenous antibiotics. In some cases, surgical drainage of abscesses or removal of infected tissue may be necessary.

Prevention:

Prevention of Actinobacillus infections is key to avoiding the potential complications of these bacterial infections. Practicing good hygiene, such as washing your hands frequently and thoroughly, can help prevent the spread of Actinobacillus infections. Avoiding close contact with people who are sick and covering wounds or cuts can also help prevent infection.

Prognosis:

The prognosis for Actinobacillus infections is generally good if treated promptly and effectively. However, in more severe cases or those with underlying medical conditions, the prognosis may be guarded. It is important to seek medical attention immediately if symptoms persist or worsen over time.

Complications:

Actinobacillus infections can lead to a variety of complications if left untreated or if treatment is delayed. These complications include:

* Abscesses: Actinobacillus infections can cause abscesses, which are pockets of pus that form in response to the infection. Abscesses can be painful and may require surgical drainage.
* Cellulitis: Actinobacillus infections can also cause cellulitis, a more widespread infection of the skin and underlying tissues.
* Sepsis: In severe cases, Actinobacillus infections can lead to sepsis, a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body's response to an infection becomes uncontrolled and causes widespread inflammation.
* Amputations: In some cases, Actinobacillus infections may be so severe that they require amputation of affected limbs or digits.

It is important to seek medical attention immediately if you suspect you have an Actinobacillus infection. With prompt and effective treatment, the prognosis for these infections is generally good. However, delays in treatment can lead to serious complications and long-term consequences.

A chronic disease is a condition that lasts for an extended period of time and requires ongoing management and care. Unlike acute diseases, which have a specific beginning and end, chronic diseases are long-term and often persistent, affecting daily life and activities. Examples of chronic diseases include diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, asthma, and cancer.

The burden of chronic diseases is significant, with over 70% of deaths worldwide attributed to them, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In addition to the physical and emotional toll they take on individuals and their families, chronic diseases also pose a significant economic burden, accounting for a large proportion of healthcare expenditure.

In this article, we will explore the definition and impact of chronic diseases, as well as strategies for managing and living with them. We will also discuss the importance of early detection and prevention, as well as the role of healthcare providers in addressing the needs of individuals with chronic diseases.

What is a Chronic Disease?

A chronic disease is a condition that lasts for an extended period of time, often affecting daily life and activities. Unlike acute diseases, which have a specific beginning and end, chronic diseases are long-term and persistent. Examples of chronic diseases include:

1. Diabetes
2. Heart disease
3. Arthritis
4. Asthma
5. Cancer
6. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
7. Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
8. Hypertension
9. Osteoporosis
10. Stroke

Impact of Chronic Diseases

The burden of chronic diseases is significant, with over 70% of deaths worldwide attributed to them, according to the WHO. In addition to the physical and emotional toll they take on individuals and their families, chronic diseases also pose a significant economic burden, accounting for a large proportion of healthcare expenditure.

Chronic diseases can also have a significant impact on an individual's quality of life, limiting their ability to participate in activities they enjoy and affecting their relationships with family and friends. Moreover, the financial burden of chronic diseases can lead to poverty and reduce economic productivity, thus having a broader societal impact.

Addressing Chronic Diseases

Given the significant burden of chronic diseases, it is essential that we address them effectively. This requires a multi-faceted approach that includes:

1. Lifestyle modifications: Encouraging healthy behaviors such as regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and smoking cessation can help prevent and manage chronic diseases.
2. Early detection and diagnosis: Identifying risk factors and detecting diseases early can help prevent or delay their progression.
3. Medication management: Effective medication management is crucial for controlling symptoms and slowing disease progression.
4. Multi-disciplinary care: Collaboration between healthcare providers, patients, and families is essential for managing chronic diseases.
5. Health promotion and disease prevention: Educating individuals about the risks of chronic diseases and promoting healthy behaviors can help prevent their onset.
6. Addressing social determinants of health: Social determinants such as poverty, education, and employment can have a significant impact on health outcomes. Addressing these factors is essential for reducing health disparities and improving overall health.
7. Investing in healthcare infrastructure: Investing in healthcare infrastructure, technology, and research is necessary to improve disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment.
8. Encouraging policy change: Policy changes can help create supportive environments for healthy behaviors and reduce the burden of chronic diseases.
9. Increasing public awareness: Raising public awareness about the risks and consequences of chronic diseases can help individuals make informed decisions about their health.
10. Providing support for caregivers: Chronic diseases can have a significant impact on family members and caregivers, so providing them with support is essential for improving overall health outcomes.

Conclusion

Chronic diseases are a major public health burden that affect millions of people worldwide. Addressing these diseases requires a multi-faceted approach that includes lifestyle changes, addressing social determinants of health, investing in healthcare infrastructure, encouraging policy change, increasing public awareness, and providing support for caregivers. By taking a comprehensive approach to chronic disease prevention and management, we can improve the health and well-being of individuals and communities worldwide.

Gingival Recession Definition

Gingival recession is a condition where the gums (gingiva) pull back or recede from the teeth, exposing the roots and increasing the risk of decay and sensitivity. It can be caused by various factors such as poor oral hygiene, smoking, grinding or clenching teeth, gum disease, or a misaligned bite.

Gingival recession can lead to tooth sensitivity and pain, and if left untreated, it can progress to more severe conditions such as periodontitis (gum infection) and tooth loss. Treatment options for gingival recession include deep cleaning, gum grafting, and changes to oral hygiene practices.

Gingival Recession Causes and Risk Factors:

Poor oral hygiene
Smoking
Grinding or clenching teeth
Gum disease
Misaligned bite
Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause)
Crooked teeth or teeth with large fillings
Teeth whitening products
Diabetes
Stress

Gingival Recession Symptoms:

Tooth sensitivity
Pain when eating or drinking hot or cold foods and beverages
Redness, swelling, or bleeding of the gums
Exposure of the roots of the teeth
Darkening of the teeth due to root exposure
Bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
Gum recession can also lead to:

Periodontitis (gum infection)
Tooth loss
Bone loss around the teeth
Increased risk of heart disease and stroke

Prevention and Treatment of Gingival Recession:

Good oral hygiene practices such as brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing once a day, and regular dental cleanings can help prevent gingival recession. Quitting smoking, reducing stress, and maintaining a healthy diet can also help prevent or slow the progression of the condition.

If you have gingival recession, your dentist may recommend:

Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth and beneath the gum line
Gum grafting to cover exposed roots and protect the teeth
Medications such as antibiotics or pain relievers to treat any infections or discomfort
Lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, reducing stress, and improving your diet to help manage the condition.

If you suspect you have gingival recession, it is important to see a dentist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. With proper care and management, it is possible to prevent or slow the progression of the condition and maintain good oral health.

Gingival Overgrowth is an abnormal growth of gum tissue that extends beyond the normal borders of the teeth and into the surrounding dental arch. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor oral hygiene, smoking, genetics, and certain medical conditions such as diabetes.

Gingival Overgrowth can cause a range of symptoms, including redness, swelling, bleeding, and sensitivity in the gums. It can also lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Treatment for Gingival Overgrowth typically involves a combination of professional dental cleaning, antibiotics, and changes to the patient's oral hygiene routine. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the excess tissue.

Gingival Overgrowth can be prevented by maintaining good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing and flossing regularly, and visiting a dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings. Early detection and treatment of Gingival Overgrowth can help to prevent more severe complications and improve the overall health of the teeth and gums.

Gingivitis8
  • If not treated, gingivitis could progress to periodontitis, characterized by the destruction of supporting tissues of the teeth. (jscimedcentral.com)
  • From the progression from gingivitis to periodontitis, several ecological succession occur in the subgingival microbiome, leading to both an increased biomass and the establishment of distinct dysbiotic communities. (jscimedcentral.com)
  • Periodontitis occurs when inflammation or infection of the gums ( gingivitis ) occurs and is not treated. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Preventing and treating gingivitis reduces your risk of developing periodontitis. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Of the 23 patients, 10 (43%) had gingivitis, a precursor of periodontitis, 9 (39%) had periodontitis, and only 4 patients (17%) had healthy periodontal tissue. (acrabstracts.org)
  • Most of our patients with early and chronic RA had gingivitis or periodontitis on formal examination, although they received regular dental care. (acrabstracts.org)
  • Periodontitis exhibits similar signs to gingivitis except it also results in gum tissue and jawbone loss. (medicinenet.com)
  • Chromate dusts can also produce irritation of the conjunctiva and mucous membranes, nasal ulcers and perforations, keratitis, gingivitis, and periodontitis [Cohen and Costa 1998]. (cdc.gov)
Inflammation7
  • Periodontitis is characterized by a chronic inflammation produced in response to a disease-associated multispecies bacterial community in the subgingival region. (jscimedcentral.com)
  • Periodontitis is inflammation and infection of the ligaments and bones that support the teeth. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Chronic periodontitis is inflammation caused by bacterial plaque that can cause periodontal tissue damage and ultimately cause tooth loss. (oraljournal.com)
  • Because nasal airway inflammation usually accompanies chronic sinusitis and rhinitis symptoms precede it, the term chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a more accurate term. (medscape.com)
  • Chronic inflammatory conditions, such as periodontal disease, may contribute to systemic inflammation and development of MetS. (nih.gov)
  • Chronic nonsuppurative inflammation is PERIAPICAL GRANULOMA. (curehunter.com)
  • Chronic irritation and inflammation induced by foreign bodies in the epithelium of the mouth, pharynx, and nose can lead to formation of squamous cell carcinoma. (nih.gov)
Severe5
  • Methods Fifteen patients with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis, with at least 2 pairs of comparable contralateral defects (pocket depth ≥6 mm), were selected. (bvsalud.org)
  • Conclusion The findings suggest that 10% Doxycycline hyclate applied subgingivally as an adjunct to conventional periodontal treatment, did not promote additional benefit when compared to scaling and root planing with a placebo gel in patients with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis. (bvsalud.org)
  • Severe periodontitis was defined as having ≥2 inter-proximal sites with clinical attachment loss ≥6 mm (not on the same tooth) and ≥1 inter-proximal site with pocket depth ≥5 mm. (cambridge.org)
  • Intake of vitamin D alone was not associated severe with periodontitis. (cambridge.org)
  • By age 75, roughly two thirds of all adults have severe periodontitis and one third of them have 6 mm or more of attachment loss. (nih.gov)
Severity3
  • Significance of processes of freelipid peroxidation, local immunological disorders and features of biocenosis of periodontal tissues and their role in the occurrence of purulent process in the periodontium in 64 patients with chronic generalized periodontitis of I-II severity degree is proved. (uran.ua)
  • 16 Given that people living with HIV present with an elevated risk for periodontal disease as well as HPV-related oral diseases, it is possible that oral HPV infection could further exacerbate the risk and severity of periodontitis and/or periodontal pockets may serve as a reservoir for persistent virus in this population. (nih.gov)
  • Levels, Disease Severity periodontitis and investigated correlations with clinical variables of the disease. (who.int)
Adults6
  • Periodontitis is the primary cause of tooth loss in adults. (medlineplus.gov)
  • The 2009-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycle is the first to include a full-mouth periodontal examination for U.S. adults (aged ≥30 years) and provides the most direct evidence for the true prevalence of periodontitis in this population. (cdc.gov)
  • The purposes of this periodontitis in adults report are to discuss and raise awareness of differences in the characteristics of people with periodontal disease and to prompt actions to reduce these disparities. (cdc.gov)
  • To examine racial/ethnic disparities in the estimated percentage of adults aged ≥30 years with periodontitis by age, sex, education, poverty levels, and smoking status, CDC analyzed data from the 2009-2010 NHANES cycle. (cdc.gov)
  • 1. Clinical and other risk indicators for early periodontitis in adults. (nih.gov)
  • Early identification of oral diseases and subsequent preclinical treatment of chronic oral conditions and a modification of risk factors related to oral health may help older adults improve general health. (nih.gov)
Abstract1
  • ABSTRACT Smoking is a major, preventable risk factor for periodontitis. (who.int)
Clinical8
  • A few studies were showing a strong association between amyloidosis and poor oral health, presence of periodontitis -associated bacteria, tooth loss and clinical signs of periodontitis. (jscimedcentral.com)
