Eikenella corrodens in Subgingival Plaque: Relationship to Age and Periodontal Condition

Abstract

Since the distribution of E. corrodens is significantly higher in JP, post-JP, and PP, E. corrodens might play an important role in the occurrence or progression of periodontitis in young patients.

Analysis of the periodontal microbiota in childhood-type hypophosphatasia

“…E. corrodens has been associated with adult gingivitis (Ashimoto et al, 1996), prepubertal periodontitis (Delaney and Kornman, 1987), chronic periodontitis (Ximenez-Fyvie et al, 2000a) and aggressive forms of periodontitis (Suda et al, 2002). On the other hand Albandar et al (1997) showed that E. corrodens was present equally in subjects with and without early-onset periodontitis.…”

The influence of estrogen on the gingival health of girls

“…Prema ovome, odnos vrednosti 17β estradiol u serumu i inflamacije gingive je the findings of several authors who suggest an increased trend of gingival disorder in girls during puberty maturation 2,15,25 , which depends on the fluctuating levels of sex hormones, age, bacterial composition of dental plaque, inflammatory cell response, vascular reactions, morphological differences, etc 30,31 . During puberty, an increased gingival bleeding index significantly grows with development of puberty, while significant downward trend is seen after 14 years of age for girls 15 .…”

“…Zbog nedostatka adekvatnih istraživanja, koja će istražiti uticaj polnih hormona na zdravlje gingive, u ovom istraživanju tačno je određen nivo polnog hormona estradiola 17β u serumu i pljuvački i njegov odnos sa gingivalnim indeksom. Rezultati eksperimentalne grupe pokazali su prisutnu inflamaciju gingive, koja je u skladu sa nalazima drugih autora koji ukazuju na inflamaciju gingive kod devojčica u pubertetu 2,15,25 , koja zavisi od promenjenih nivoa polnih hormona, starosti, bakterijskog sastava oralnog biofilma, inflamatornog odgovora ćelija, vaskularne reakcije, morfološke razlike itd 30,31 . Istraživači ističu da je u pubertetu povećan gingivalni indeks, koji značajno raste sa razvitkom puberteta, a njegov pad je uočen posle 14 godina kod devojčica 15,25 .…”

“…Smatra se da pubertet može uticati na pojavu inflamacije i uvećanja gingive kod osoba oba pola, sa većom prevalencijom kod devojčica. Različiti rezultati su dobijeni u istraživanju gingivitisa u pubertetu, jedni, za razliku od drugih, jasno potvrđuju povećanje gingivitisa 1,2 . Smatra se da su promene u nivou estrogena i progesterona kod devojčica prolazne i da se posle puberteta vraćaju na normalan nivo.…”

“…It is considered that this period may influence the occurrence of gingival inflammation and gingival enlargement in both sexes, with greater prevalence among girls. Pubertal gingivitis is a topic on which conflicting results may be found, some of which clearly confirm the trend of increased signs of gingival disease, and others their absence 1,2 . In girls, it is considered that changes in levels of estrogen and progesterone are transient and at postpuberty they return to normal levels.…”
