Examples of chronic periodontitis in the following topics:
-
- 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.
-
- Periodontal infection and inflammation can also damage the joint, causing pain and erosion in the soft tissue.
- Chronic dental problems may loosen the ligaments and lead to tooth loss or instability.
-
- 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.
-
- Chronic pancreatitis has been linked, but is not known to be causal.
- Although drinking alcohol excessively is a major cause of chronic pancreatitis, which in turn predisposes to pancreatic cancer, chronic pancreatitis associated with alcohol consumption is less frequently a precursor for pancreatic cancer than other types of chronic pancreatitis.
-
- In the upper GI tract, common changes include periodontal disease, difficulty in swallowing, reduced sensitivity to mouth irritations and sores, loss of taste, gastritis, and peptic ulcer disease.
- Some kidney diseases that are common as we age include acute and chronic kidney inflammations and kidney stones.
-
- periodontal disease, which is caused by bacterial infection and affects alveolar bone, periodontal ligament, cementum, and/or gingiva.
-
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the occurrence of chronic bronchitis or emphysema.
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), also known as chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD), chronic obstructive airway disease (COAD), chronic airflow limitation (CAL) and chronic obstructive respiratory disease (CORD), is the occurrence of chronic bronchitis or emphysema, a pair of commonly co-existing diseases of the lungs in which the airways become narrowed.
- The diagnosis of COPD should be considered in anyone who has dyspnea, chronic cough or sputum production, and/or a history of exposure to risk factors for the disease, such as regular tobacco smoking.
-
- Chronically elevated blood pressure is called hypertension, while chronically low blood pressure is called hypotension.
- Hypertension or high blood pressure, sometimes called arterial hypertension, is a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is elevated above 140/90 mmHg.
- Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke, myocardial infarction (heart attacks), heart failure, aneurysms of the arteries (e.g. aortic aneurysm), peripheral arterial disease and a cause of chronic kidney disease.
-
- 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.
-
- Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory, autoimmune disease that results in joint fusion in the vertebrae and the sacroiliac joint.
- Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the axial skeleton with variable involvement of peripheral joints and nonarticular structures.
- AS is a form of spondyloarthritis, a chronic, inflammatory arthritis and autoimmune disease.
- These first symptoms are typically chronic pain and stiffness in the middle part of the spine or sometimes the entire spine, often with pain referred to one or other buttock or the back of thigh from the sacroiliac joint .
