The Revisited Origin of Systemic Diseases: Leak Periodontal

Dahye Lee*

Microorganisms enter your body through the oral cavity, where they spread to numerous distant organs in addition to the directly related digestive and respiratory tracts. In addition to affecting the gut microbiome profile, oral microbiota that travels to the end of the intestine and circulates in our bodies through blood vessels also contribute to a number of systemic disorders. In order to emphasise the significance of the oral cavity in systemic health, we propose the important role of "leaky gum," as an analogy to "leaky gut," by compiling facts accumulated from the era of focused infection theory to the age of revolution in microbiome research. which, because it has a poorer structural foundation than a desmosome, is more susceptible to microbial infiltration. Microbial biofilms in the GS can form and persist for a long time, in contrast to biofilms on the skin and intestinal mucosa, which naturally shed. Therefore, we stress that the GS and the JE are the weakest points for germs to enter the human body, making the leaky gum equally as significant as, if not more important than, the leaky gut.

Development, Analysis and Experimental Findings for Oral Organisms

Sebastian Magierowski*

Researchers' focus has recently been drawn to the link between oral cells and gum disorders, which pose a serious threat to people's overall health as a result of recent advancements in periodontal studies. Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductors (CMOSs), one of many microfabrication technologies, allow for the creation of inexpensive integrated sensors and circuits for the quick and precise evaluation of living cells that can be used for the early detection and management of periodontal diseases. The CMOS capacitive sensing platform described in this study can be used as an alternative for the investigation of salivary cells, such as oral neutrophils. This platform is made up of two sensing electrodes that are linked to a read-out capacitive circuitry that was created and manufactured on the same chip utilising Austria Mikro Systeme (AMS) 0.35 m CMOS technology.

Clinical Effects Of SRP (Scaling And Root Planning) With Probiotics And SRP (Scaling And Root Planning) With Placebo In The Treatment Of Periodontitis–A Pilot Study

Nilofer Farjana*

Background: Periodontitis is a chronic host immune mediated inflammatory response involving the supporting periodontal tissues resulting in tissue breakdown and bone loss. It eventually results in tooth loss. Probiotics are live microorganisms when given in adequate amounts attenuates the normal body health. It recently finds its benefit in oral health. It stimulates the immune response and interfere with the growth and adhesion of microorganisms. Probiotics can be used as an adjunct in the treatment of periodontitis. This is a pilot study which evaluates the clinical periodontal parameters in generalized periodontitis patients, on giving the oral supplement of probiotics or placebo as an adjunct to nonsurgical treatment, Scaling and Root Planning (SRP).

Methods: A total number of 10 generalized periodontitis patients were included. They were divided into two groups randomly. One group were given probiotic blend along with SRP and the other group were given placebo along with SRP. Both the groups are evaluated for periodontal parameters after the period of 4 weeks.

Results: The results were obtained and statistically analyzed. The treatment group where probiotic supplement intake were found to have effective reduction in gingival index, plaque index, probing pocket depth and gain in clinical attachment level than the placebo group. It was found to be statistically significant, p<0.5.

Conclusion: Probiotics can be used as an effective adjunct to SRP, scaling and root planning in treating periodontitis.

Pattern and Factors Associated with Utilisation of Dental Services among adult Patients at Ndola Teaching Hospital

Kaitwa Mbuya*

Introduction: Oral health has not been a priority in most low to middle income countries, Zambia inclusive despite being among the top ten global health challenges. There is a need not only to treat but also to put preventive measures in place to reduce the prevalence and future occurrence of oral diseases.

Objectives: To find out the utilisation patterns, socioeconomic factors that affect the utilisation patterns of dental services, and dental anxiety levels as well as their effect on utilisation patterns of patients visiting the dental department at Ndola teaching hospital.

Methods: The study design was a quantitative study, to be conducted as a cross-sectional survey, gathering information from patients that attend the dental department at Ndola teaching hospital. The information was collected through structured interviews using a modified questionnaire from the World Health Organization (WHO).

Results: Among the participants, 2.08% of patients were currently regular attenders, 3.82% were former regular attenders, 94.10% were never regular attenders and none of the patients were always regular attenders. The time since the last dental visit showed that 31.25% of patients had visited the dentist within a year before the current visit, 12.5% had last visited the dentist within a period of 2 to 5 years prior, 31.25% had visited more than 5 years ago, while 25% had never been to the dentist.

Conclusion: The time since the last dental visit was correlated to both the gender of the patients and the type of insurance policy held by the patient, while the pattern of dental attendance was not correlated with any of the socioeconomic variables investigated.

The Influence of Oral Infectious Focus on the Physical Performance of an Athlete: Case Report

Caio Vinicius G. Roman Torres*, Rodrigo P. da Silva PE, Camila B. Barbieri, Joelbert Benign, Humberto Oswaldo Schwartz Filho and Marcelo de Melo Quintela

The influence of oral pathologies on sports performance seems to be clarified, but there are few case reports and research that show this relationship. The aim of the present case report was to show whether a localized oral infection could influence the results of physical tests in an athlete. Patient R.P., 37 years old, physical education teacher, swimmer, hiker and bodybuilder since he was 17 years old, sought emergency dental care due to painful symptoms in element 17. After radiographic examination, a periapical lesion was observed, through the probing, a periodontal pocket measuring 10 mm was observed in the distal and buccal region of this tooth and tooth 18. After the diagnosis of an infectious condition, the patient was proposed to perform pre and post-treatment physical tests at intervals of 30, 90 and 120 days: strength maximal bench press, resistance with 50% of the maximum load in the bench press, 100 meters free swimming and one-minute abdominal resistance applied by a physical education teacher. An extraction was performed. And the new tests were carried out. The physical tests performed show improvement 120 days after the extraction. The bench press maximal strength test had an improvement of 9.3%; the endurance test improved by 21.5%; the 100 meters swimming test obtained an improvement of 3% in the time obtained and in the abdominal resistance test there was an improvement of 10%. The patient reported that he looked like he had peaked during training 4 years ago, and this recent improvement surprised him. The improvement in all tests performed on an experienced athlete in a short period of time may allow us to assume a relationship of interference of dental infection in sports performance.
