periodontitis

Examples of periodontitis in the following topics:

• Periodontal Disease

  • Plaque-induced inflammatory lesions make up the vast majority of periodontal diseases, which are divided into peridontitis or gingivitis.
  • Periodontal disease is a type of disease that affects one or more of the periodontal tissues, which include:
  • the periodontal ligament, which are the connective tissue fibers that run between the cementum and the alveolar bone.
  • Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease affecting the periodontium, or the tissues that surround and support the teeth.
  • Using periodontal trays to maintain dentist-prescribed medications at the source of the disease.

• Fusobacteria

  • Fusobacterium are anaerobic, non-spore forming, gram-negative bacteria that are associated with periodontal disease and Lemierre's syndrome.
  • The Fusobacterium are associated with infection and disease including periodontal diseases, topical skin ulcers and Lemierres's syndrome.

• Tooth and Gum Infections

  • The levels of oral spirochetes are elevated in patients with periodontal diseases.
  • Among this group, Treponema denticola is the most studied and is considered one of the main etiological bacteria of periodontitis.
  • Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative oral anaerobe strongly associated with chronic adult periodontitis.
  • Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is considered an oral pathogen due to its virulence factors, its association with localized aggressive periodontitis in young adolescents, and studies indicating that it can cause bone loss.
  • If not taken care of, via brushing or flossing, the plaque can turn into tartar (its hardened form) and lead to gingivitis or periodontal disease.

• Aging and the Digestive System

  • Periodontal disease, which is caused by bacterial infection and affects alveolar bone, periodontal ligament, cementum, and/or gingiva.

• Erectile Dysfunction and the Blue Pill

  • The number of hours on a bike and/or the pressure on the penis from the saddle of an upright bicycle is directly related to erectile dysfunction A recent study suggests an epidemiological association between chronic periodontitis (periodontal inflammation) and erectile dysfunction, similar to the association between periodontitis and coronary heart diseases, as well as cerebrovascular diseases.
  • In all the three conditions (erectile dysfunction, coronary heart disease, and cerebrovascular diseases), despite the epidemiological association with periodontitis, no causative connection has yet been proven.

• Fibrous Joints

  • It also pumps blood and lymph from the periodontal membrane into the dental veins and lymph channels and stimulates sensory nerve terminals in the membrane to send signals to the brain centers that control the muscles of mastication.

• Gomphoses

  • Periodontal infection and inflammation can also damage the joint, causing pain and erosion in the soft tissue.

• Campylobacter

  • Infection produces an inflammatory, sometimes bloody diarrhea, periodontitis, or dysentery syndrome, mostly including cramps, fever and pain.

• Structural Elements of Connective Tissue

  • Elastic fibers are found in the skin, lungs, arteries, veins, connective tissue proper, elastic cartilage, periodontal ligament, fetal tissue, and other structures.

• Classification of Joints on the Basis of Structure and Function

  • The tooth is connected to the socket by a connective tissue called the periodontal ligament.
