The severe tissue destruction associated with periodontitis may be caused by a deranged antioxidant state. Smoking contributes significantly to the oxidative stress of periodontal tissues in addition to periodontitis. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate and compare the levels of glutathione reductase (GR) in the saliva of smokers and non-smokers with and without periodontitis after non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT). Smokers with periodontitis (n = 19), smokers without periodontiti

Periodontal health and disease are significantly influenced by sex hormones. For instance, a woman's periodontal health is impacted by puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, menopause, and the use of oral contraceptives. These events alter the periodontal microbiology by altering the vasculature and function of gingival cells, as well as the local immune system and inflammation process. Consequently, it is crucial to gauge women's knowledge about the impact of hormones on their periodontal he

Diabetes mellitus micro and/or macrovascular complications are associated with persistent hyperglycemia. Diabetes and periodontitis have a reciprocal relationship, and they are both characterized by inflammation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the severity of periodontal disease and the quantity of periodontal tissue damage in type 2 diabetics about the number of chronic vascular problems. 127 individuals with type 2 diabetes who experienced at least one ch

The function and appearance of patients are negatively impacted by periodontitis and gingivitis, which also have a direct impact on their oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Periodontitis has been associated with several systemic problems, such as poor pregnancy outcomes, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), respiratory disorders, fatal pneumonia in hemodialysis patients, chronic renal disease, and metabolic syndrome. The present review study aimed to investigate the

Sexuality, which plays an essential and significant role in human life, is provided through healthy sexual organs. Therefore, any disease in the genital area, including vaginitis, can interfere with these tendencies and thus affect the quality of life of the individual. The researchers, therefore, conducted a study aimed at comparing sexual satisfaction in pregnant women with vaginal candidiasis. This is a cross-sectional study to evaluate the effect of Candida vaginitis infection on sexual sati

Dental biofilm is a major source of bacteria that produce toxins, peptides, lipopolysaccharides, and organic acids, contributing to gingival inflammation and tooth decay. If plaque persists, it can progressively damage surrounding soft and hard tissues. In patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment, appliances such as arch-wires, brackets, and elastic modules serve as significant sites for plaque accumulation, complicating oral hygiene maintenance. A major challenge for dentists is the limi

This research aimed to reexamine the interrelationship between gingival thickness (GT), keratinized gingiva width (KGW), papilla height (PH), and crown ratio (CR) using two assessment approaches: transgingival probing and an intraoral scanner (IOS). A total of 360 maxillary anterior teeth from 60 individuals were analyzed in this cross-sectional study. GT was recorded via transgingival probing with an endodontic spreader, while KGW, PH, and CR were measured digitally using an IOS. Statistical an

Only a limited number of investigations have focused on how the coexistence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and periodontitis (PD) influences serum Vitamin D concentration, especially in developing nations such as India. This aspect requires more scientific attention. The goal of this study was to explore how serum Vitamin D values relate to periodontal disease in individuals affected by T2DM, and to determine whether socioeconomic and demographic factors have any bearing on Vitamin D concent

Various guided tissue regenerative procedures have been used in treatment of furcation defects. A combination of various graft materials and barrier membranes have been used over a period of time. The present study was designed to test whether autologous platelet‑rich fibrin (PRF) can be effectively used as a barrier membrane along with porous hydroxyapatite (HA) bone graft in the treatment of Grade II furcation defects. The present study was a split‑mouth design, in which a total of thirty pati
