The nexus between periodontal inflammation and the polymicrobial biofilm in the gingival
sulcus is critical to understanding the pathobiology of periodontitis. Both play a major role in …

Microbial communities are complex and dynamic, composed of hundreds of taxa interacting
across multiple spatial scales. Advances in sequencing and imaging technology have led to …

Periodontal diseases are initiated by bacterial species living in polymicrobial biofilms at or
below the gingival margin and progress largely as a result of the inflammation elicited by …

Studies from the 1960s indicated that increased microbial diversity and a succession in the
predominant bacterial species in plaque correlate with the appearance of gingival …

The article elaborates on the various periodontal diseases caused by microorganisms that
reside at or below the gingival margin and discusses the different periodontal therapies for …

Porphyromonas gingivalis can inhibit chemically induced apoptosis in primary cultures of
gingival epithelial cells through blocking activation of the effector caspase‐3. The anti …

Porphyromonas gingivalis is an oral/systemic pathogen implicated in chronic conditions,
although the mechanism (s) whereby it resists immune defenses and persists in the host is …

Objective: The aim was to compare the effect of scaling and root planing (SRP) alone, diode
laser treatment (LAS) alone, and SRP combined with LAS (SRP+ LAS) on clinical and …

INTRODUCTION: Microorganisms are able to survive and cause persistent infection in the
extraradicular area. The aims of this study were to investigate the primary bacterial flora and …
