The Role of Osteoporosis as a Systemic Risk Factor for Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease is an infectious and inflammatory disease with a high incidence in the global population and an extremely complex etiopathogenesis. Osteoporosis is one of the systemic diseases that can affect the integrity of periodontal tissues. Osteoporosis, as a skeletal disease, causes a reduction in bone mass and microarchitectural changes in the bone. Discussions about the connection between the two diseases affecting the bone began in 1960, but, contrary to the high number of studies, discoveries are still being made regarding the pathophysiological mechanisms that link the two diseases. The chapter proposes a systematized description of data on the influence of osteoporotic disease on the periodontal structures, therapeutic methods to address the patient with periodontal disease and osteoporosis and data on the potential influence of conventional and adjunctive periodontal treatment on systemic parameters in patients with osteoporosis

Cytokines’ Involvement in Periodontal Changes

The bacterial challenge on the periodontal tissues triggers an inflammatory reaction, driven by pro-inflammatory cytokines, that eventually leads to the periodontal structures’ damage. The pathogenic mechanisms of this inflammatory reaction are complex and are influenced by the type of host-immune response and certain local and systemic factors. These factors can influence periodontal inflammation, through the action of the various pro-inflammatory cytokines. Periodontal disease and certain systemic conditions can have a mutual association, as the pathogenic mechanisms of these diseases can involve similar molecular and cellular elements. The concept of ‘periodontal medicine’ comprises these pathogenic connections, focusing on the key role that periodontal health has on the general homeostasis and well-being

Antibacterial Polysiloxane Polymers and Coatings for Cochlear Implants

Within this study, new materials were synthesized and characterized based on polysiloxane modified with different ratios of N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) and crosslinked via UV-assisted thiol-ene addition, in order to obtain efficient membranes able to resist bacterial adherence and biofilm formation. These membranes were subjected to in vitro testing for microbial adherence against S. pneumoniae using standardized tests. WISTAR rats were implanted for 4 weeks with crosslinked siloxane samples without and with NAC. A set of physical characterization methods was employed to assess the chemical structure and morphological aspects of the new synthetized materials before and after contact with the microbiological medium

The Complex Relationship of Periodontal Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis

The relationship between periodontitis and systemic diseases is an important part of clinical periodontal research, which has been growing steadily. Even though the etiologies of periodontal disease and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) differ, these pathologies have many common features, both being multifactorial diseases characterized by localized chronic inflammatory reactions, which are fuelled by an analogous set of cytokines (among many, the most prominent being Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF), Interleukin (IL) 6 and 17), leading to high systemic circulating concentrations of inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP). It was not until the discovery of peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) mediated citrullination of proteins by Porphyromonas gingivalis that the link between the two diseases was purely speculative. This citrullination initiates a series of events which culminate in the production of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) and, finally, in the clinical manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis. Another common denominator is the bone destruction caused by proinflammatory cytokines secreted by T 17 helper cells (TH17) which is the pathological hallmark of both diseases. Other notable common areas are shared risk factors such as environmental and genetic risk factors. Regarding treatment, neither pathologies have a definitive cure, however, several strategies are employed, some of which are common, such as diet and lifestyle changes, and immunomodulating medication applied locally or systemically

Advances in Locally Delivered Antimicrobials for Periodontitis Treatment

Periodontal disease represents an inflammatory disease of the tissues supporting the maintenance and functionality of the teeth on the dental arches. The main cause of periodontitis consists in periodontal dysbiosis, which will trigger an inflammatory response, progressively leading to periodontal tissue breakdown. Scaling and root planing represent the gold standard in treating periodontal diseases but, as it was already established, these measures are unable to completely eliminate the subgingival bacterial plaque. Therefore, new adjunctive therapies have emerged, involving systemic and local delivery of various antimicrobial products. This chapter aims to provide current knowledge on the local application of different periodontal supplementary therapies. The chapter focuses on local forms of antimicrobials, such as irrigations, gels or controlled release systems but also on laser/LED-assisted periodontal pocket photodynamic antibacterial therapy (PDT), along with various photosensitizers. Moreover, we present data from current guidelines regarding the recommendations for the main locally delivered antimicrobials

The Synthesis and Characterization of Polycaprolactone Composites for Potential Biomedical Applications

Nanofiber technology has received significant attention as a possible solution to the current challenges associated with the biomedical industry. Nanofibers have been used because of their availability from a wide range of materials including natural and synthetic polymers, metals and metal oxides, carbon-based, and as composite nanomaterials. Due to their great flexibility, and ability to form 3D-network structures, nanofibers have been excellent candidates for various biomedical applications, such as dressings for wound healing and drug delivery systems. Electrospinning, an easy fabrication technique, is used to produce biocompatible nanofibers. This technique uses a syringe, power supply and the collector to produce nanofibers from polymer solutions under high electric fields at room temperature. The electrospun nanofibers can mimic the physico-chemical properties of the Extracellular matrix (ECM), which helps give cell-material and cell-cell interactions. Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a widely used synthetic polymer in nanofiber synthesis for biomedical applications such as drug delivery and as long-term implants devices. It is biocompatible, biodegradable and its low melting point makes it customizable for specific purposes. In this study, we seek to synthesize nanofiber matrix of PCL and PCL-Zinc at different solution ratios. The fibers were characterized for their surface morphology using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and will later be characterized for mechanic property using tensile testing. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to identify the functional groups and chemical interactions of the samples. We will expose the nanofibers directly and indirectly to cells for cell proliferation and cytotoxicity studies as future works for potential biomedical application

The Effects Of Periodontal Therapy On Biochemical Inflammatory Markers On Renal Dysfunction Patients

Introduction Recent studies have shown an association between high levels of C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and chronic periodontitis, association which is diminished after the periodontal treatment. Due to this association, chronic periodontitis was recently considered as a risk factor for chronic kidney disease. The aim of the study The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that the inflammatory chronic response observed on patients with chronic kidney disease is influenced by the chronic periodontitis that induces high levels of expression of inflammatory markers, such as IL-6 and CRP. Materials and methods The patients in the study were divided in two groups (a group of patients with CKD that were submitted to conservative periodontal treatment and a control group of patients without any systemic disease with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis). The periodontal therapy included root planning and debridement. After the periodontal treatment completion the patients were recalled at 15, 30, 60 and 90 days. We determined the levels of IL-6 and CRP initially and at 3 months after therapy. Results IL-6 and CRP levels have significantly decreased after the periodontal treatment in both groups. Additionally, significantly higher levels of haemoglobin and ferritin were observed in the control group patients, associated with the periodontal treatment. Conclusions Our results demonstrate that chronic periodontitis is more severe on chronic kidney disease patients, inducing a systemic inflammatory response. The periodontal therapy reduces the inflammatory component and decreases the levels of the serum markers, indicating an important interventional therapy on patients with chronic kidney disease
