  1. 21. Periodontitis and invasive oral treatment in relation to myocardial infarction : epidemiological studies

    Författare :Eva Nordendahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Cardiovascular disease and periodontitis are major global health problems that are a large burden for the individual and society. During the last 30 years, it has been discussed whether there is an association between the two diseases. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Salivary glands and oral lesions in diabetes mellitus : an experimental and clinical study with special reference to the influence of metabolic control and duration of the disease

    Författare :Carl-Olof Reuterving; Erik Hägg; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; diabetes mellitus; salivation; salivary glucose; saliva; submandibular gland; pilocarpine; root surface caries; periodontal disease; alloxan; feeding behavior; rats; humans;

    Sammanfattning : Diabetes mellitus is associated with several clinically significant abnormalities in the oral cavity and salivary glands, the most common being periodontitis, salivary gland enlargement and a sensation of dry mouth. The pre­valence of dental caries in diabetics is mostly reported to be decreased or unaffected. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Prostaglandin E synthases in periodontitis-affected gingival tissue and in gingival fibroblasts

    Författare :Tove Båge; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :c-Jun N-terminal kinase;

    Sammanfattning : Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease resulting in the destruction of the tissue and alveolar bone supporting the teeth and leading ultimately to tooth loss. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is an important inflammatory mediator in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Sensory-motor regulation of human biting behavior

    Författare :Krister Svensson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : In order to control oral motor behavior, such as biting and chewing, we rely on information provided by a variety of sense organs, including periodontal mechanoreceptors (PMRs). The PMRs, located among the collagen fibers in the periodontal ligament that attaches the root of the tooth to the alveolar bone, send signals to the central nervous system when the surrounding collagen fibers are stretched by loading of the tooth.
