Science: Blocking fibrin holds promise for the treatment of periodontal disease
In a new study, researchers from the National Institute of Dental Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) have found that blocking the function of a coagulation protein prevents bone loss caused by periodontal (gingival) disease in mice. According to animal and human data, they found that the accumulation of this clotting protein called fibrin triggers an excessive immune response that damages the gingiva ...

Laser Application in Periodontics
The use of lasers for periodontal treatment has become more complicated because the periodontium consists of both hard and soft tissues. Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy Dental plaque is known as the principal etiologic factor for the inflammatory periodontal disease; therefore, it is evident that treatment of the disease is dependent upon how much the plaque and its retentive factors are ...

Link Between Periodontal Disease and Oral Cancer
There is a strong relationship between periodontal disease and oral cancer. In patients with tongue cancer, the periodontal disease preceded the tongue cancer. Although periodontal disease and oral cancers are both located in the mouth, until recently, there was never thought to be a connection between the two. New evidence is coming to light to show that those with periodontal disease increase ...

Dental Problems Linked To Heart Disease and Diabetes
Dental Problems Linked To Heart Disease and Diabetes Over the last ten years there has been a growing body of evidence linking periodontal disease and systemic diseases. Every day new research is making the link stronger. Periodontal infection is the advanced stages of gum disease that causes bone loss. The bone loss is irreversible. Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease and with early ...

Dental Problems Often Cause Bad Breath
The Direct Link between Bacterial Plaque, Bad Breath, and Dental problems Bad breath or halitosis, dental decay, periodontal disease, and gingivitis are all caused by the anaerobic bacteria that live in the mouth. Anaerobic means living in the absence of air. These types of bacteria are mostly pathological. Bad breath is the odor produced by bacteria living off food particles, each other and ...

Inflammation in Periodontal Disease a Red Flag for Cancer
By not taking care of your teeth there is more on the line than tooth decay and periodontal disease – although that’s bad enough. Practicing good oral hygiene may be lifesaving according to a number of research studies.Studies show a connection between Gum disease and a 63% HIgher Pancreatic Cancer in Men The link between several systemic illnesses including diabetes, heart disease, ...

Pathogenicity of Heparin Dependent Antibodies
Many of the heparin dependent antibodies, including those with the IgG isotype, are asymptomatic, and only a subgroup of antibodies is positive in platelet activation assays. What differentiates pathogenic from asymptomatic antibodies is not fully understood, with the exception that there is some relationship between antibody concentration and occurrence of HIT, and that antibodies with the ...

Uses of Recombinant Human Collagen
Collagen is the main structural protein in vertebrates. It plays an essential role in providing a scaffold for cellular support and thereby affecting cell attachment, migration, proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Natural animal collagen and its recombinant collagen are favorable replacements in human tissue engineering due to their remarkable biomedical property. However, this ...

CD Genomics Perspective: High-Throughput Sequencing Approach to Explore the Human Microbiome
The Use of Microbiome Sequencing in Cancer Research A growing body of evidence now suggests that human microbial dysbiosis has a crucial role in cancer development and progression. Unlike earlier studies relying on culturing bacteria from the tissue of cancer, high-throughput sequencing methods have enabled genotyping the microbial ecosystem within cancer tissue from hundreds to thousands of ...

Applications of 16S/18S/ITS Amplicon Sequencing
16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing has now been a well-established method. Due to its low cost, shorter cycle and low quality requirement of the sample, 16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing is widely used in the study of microorganisms. 16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing reveals the species of microorganisms in environmental samples and their differences, relative abundance, population structure and ...

Introduction of Chitosan as Nano-drug Delivery Carrier
Chitin is the second largest natural polymer after cellulose, and it exists widely in nature, such as shells of crustaceans such as shrimps, crabs, insects, and cell walls of fungi. Although chitin has good biocompatibility and biodegradability, its poor solubility limits its practicality in the field of biomedicine. The product of chitin deacetylation is chitosan. Chitosan is structurally ...

HBOT for Complementary Therapy
If you’re considering HBOT, it’s important to understand the benefits and risks this therapy entails. The treatment should be discussed with a certified healthcare professional to develop a plan of action based on scientific evidence and tailored to your exact condition. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be used as complementary therapy to address several medical problems. The theory ...
