11. Neutrophil recruitment in periodontal disease
Sammanfattning : Neutrophils are the first immune cells to arrive in infected or injured tissues, where they engulf microbes and clean up cell debris. Periodontitis is one of the typical symptoms of both neutropenia and defect neutrophil functionality, suggesting an important role for these cells in maintenance of periodontal health. LÄS MER
12. Promoting oral health : knowledge of periodontal disease and satisfaction with Dental Care
Sammanfattning : The general aims of this thesis were to evaluate if a mass media campaign, aimed as a health promoting campaign, and visits to a specialist clinic in periodontology could increase the knowledge of periodontitis, symptoms and treatment. A further aim was to analyse expectations and satisfaction with care among patients referred for comprehensive treatment to specialist clinics. LÄS MER
13. Novel methods for diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease
Sammanfattning : Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition affecting tooth-supportive structures, the periodontium. Gingival tissues respond to biofilm formation by initiating an inflammatory process. LÄS MER
14. Importance of bacterial hydrogen sulfide in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases
Sammanfattning : Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is one of many end-products of the proteolytic activities in the subgingival microbiota in patients with periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Although H2S is generally regarded as toxic, the mechanisms that underlie its production and its effects on human cells and tissues are poorly understood. LÄS MER
15. Vesicle-mediated and free soluble delivery of bacterial effector proteins by oral and systemic pathogens
Sammanfattning : Periodontitis, the primary cause of tooth-loss worldwide, is a bacterially induced chronic inflammatory disease of the periodontium. It is associated with systemic conditions such as cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, pathogenic mechanisms of periodontitis-associated bacteria that may contribute to the CVD association are unclear. LÄS MER
