The severe tissue destruction associated with periodontitis may be caused by a deranged antioxidant state. Smoking contributes significantly to the oxidative stress of periodontal tissues in addition to periodontitis. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate and compare the levels of glutathione reductase (GR) in the saliva of smokers and non-smokers with and without periodontitis after non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT). Smokers with periodontitis (n = 19), smokers without periodontiti

Periodontal health and disease are significantly influenced by sex hormones. For instance, a woman's periodontal health is impacted by puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, menopause, and the use of oral contraceptives. These events alter the periodontal microbiology by altering the vasculature and function of gingival cells, as well as the local immune system and inflammation process. Consequently, it is crucial to gauge women's knowledge about the impact of hormones on their periodontal he

Diabetes mellitus micro and/or macrovascular complications are associated with persistent hyperglycemia. Diabetes and periodontitis have a reciprocal relationship, and they are both characterized by inflammation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the severity of periodontal disease and the quantity of periodontal tissue damage in type 2 diabetics about the number of chronic vascular problems. 127 individuals with type 2 diabetes who experienced at least one ch

The function and appearance of patients are negatively impacted by periodontitis and gingivitis, which also have a direct impact on their oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Periodontitis has been associated with several systemic problems, such as poor pregnancy outcomes, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), respiratory disorders, fatal pneumonia in hemodialysis patients, chronic renal disease, and metabolic syndrome. The present review study aimed to investigate the

With the advancement of CAD/CAM technology, accurate digital data is crucial for the long-term success of prosthetics. The present study aimed to find and comprehensively review the literature on the digitization process of CAD/CAM crowns using CBCT and compare it with the results obtained using standard scanners to determine fit. The PRISMA guidelines were used. “Does the scanning technique (I) provide better accuracy and marginal fit (O) in teeth that require full veneer crowns (P) compared wi

Depending on the patient's growth potential, the degree of malocclusion, and patient compliance, class II correction calls for different strategies. The aim is to evaluate the changes in the soft and hard tissues of the orofacial region using three distinct treatment modalities: camouflage, AMO, and en-masse distalization. Based on the treatment strategy used, 45 adult skeletal class II patient records were evenly divided into three clusters. FACAD software was used to trace lateral cephalog
