crevicular fluid has been extensively explored during the last twenty years, from initially just …

The discovery of biomarkers for periodontal disease requires an in‐depth understanding of
the molecular basis of the initiation and progression of the disease. The gingival crevicular …

Generally, clinical parameters are used in dental practice for periodontal disease, yet
several drawbacks exist with the clinical standards for addressing the needs of the public at …

Recent evidence suggests that smoking affects the composition of the disease-associated
subgingival biofilm, yet little is known about its effects during the formation of this biofilm. The …
