Research progress on the association of neurological disorders and periodontal diseases

endondonics, Oral Microbiome, Parkinson's Disease, Pre-PD /

Periodontal diseases are inflammatory diseases caused by oral pathogens around the periodontal supporting tissues, leading to systemic and chronic inflammatory conditions. The continuous chronic systemic inflammation may be a trigger of neuroinflammation, which is the prominent feature of a variety of neurological disorders. It implies that there may be a causal link between periodontal diseases […]

Is amalgam removal in patients with medically unexplained physical symptoms cost-effective? A prospective cohort and decision modelling study in Norway

endondonics, Periodontitis, Root Canal /

There are many patients in general practice with health complaints that cannot be medically explained. Some of these patients attribute their health complaints to dental amalgam restorations. This study examined the cost-effectiveness of the removal of amalgam restorations in patients with medically unexplained physical symptoms (MUPS) attributed to amalgam fillings compared to usual care, based

two American cohorts

Periodontitis triggers systemic repercussions, such as elevated levels of high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). This has neverbeen studied within Parkinson’s Disease (PD). The aim of this study is to compare hs-CRP levels of self-reported periodontitis casesversus cases without periodontitis in PD patients. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2015–2016 and2017–2018 waves) were analyzed.

Periodontal inflammatory disease is associated with the risk of Parkinson’s disease: a population-based retrospective matched-cohort study

endondonics, Oral Microbiome, Parkinson's Disease /

Individuals exposed to PID were 1.431 times more likely to develop PD than those who were not exposed. However, future long-term, larger or national data sets combined with genes, environmental exposure, lifestyle changes, dietary habits, and accurately defined PD diagnosis should be investigated to support the current research results.

Periapical Disease and the Prefrontal Cortex. Is there a Relationship between Calcium-Binding Protein and Neurodegenerative Diseases?

endondonics, Endotoxin, Periodontitis /

Apical periodontitis (AP) or periapical lesion (PL) is an inflammatory disease that causes pain, loss of bone and destruction of other tissues of teeth support. This condition could be caused by caries, dental trauma and/or periapical microleakage wich is regulated by the immune system or inflammatory response. Several analyses have shown that endodontic infection can

Clinical evaluation of the periodontal health condition and oral health awareness in Parkinson’s disease patients

endondonics, Oral Microbiome, Parkinson's Disease, Periodontitis, Pre-PD /

Objective and background The objectives were to compare periodontal status between subjects with and without Parkinson’s disease (PKD) to determine the influence of PKD on periodontal disease. This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship of periodontal status with severity of PKD. Conclusion There is a need for dental care and encouragement to use plaque
