Periodontal

Ligaments cannot usually be regenerated naturally; however, there are periodontal ligament stem cells located near the periodontal ligament which are involved in the adult regeneration of periodontal ligament.

Journalist Heather Parton Digby that Vance's plan "would take us back to the time when I was denied health insurance because I had periodontal disease.

Treatment for periodontal disease may involve dental cleaning, antibiotics, and potentially tooth extraction.

A periodontal pocket develops as the plaque bacteria from the biofilm continues to accumulate and moves below the gum line.

Periodontal disease is the most common dental disease affecting those living with diabetes and it may also make it hard for you to control your blood glucose levels.

The oral health challenges include increasing incidence of dental caries, otherwise known as tooth decay, Gum Disease (Periodontal), bad breath (Halitosis), sensitive tooth and coloured tooth.

According to government estimates, more than 70% of school children are suffering from dental caries and more than 90% of the adult population is affected by periodontal disease.

Beyond its primary effects on the mouth, periodontal disease can also have effects on the health of the entire body, with some studies showing microscopic changes at the level of the kidneys, liver, and heart in dogs.

Periodontal disease has also been associated with labor and a low birth-weight baby.

The doctors have come up with strategies that can help an individual to deal with such conditions or even better, help to prevent your gums from undergoing periodontal infections such as: brushing and flossing your teeth everyday the right way.

If the gums are inflamed due to bacteria that cause periodontal disease, same bacteria can actually get into the bloodstream causing the arteries to build up plaque and harden.

Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory process caused by bacteria affecting the soft and hard structures holding the teeth in place.

Plaque is what causes tooth decay, inflamed gums (gingivitis), periodontal disease, and eventually tooth loss.

The cause of this situation is usually a periapical or periodontal infection of a maxillary posterior tooth, where the inflammatory exudate has eroded through the bone superiorly to drain into the maxillary sinus.

This may localize all the force of the bite onto one tooth, and cause inflammation of the periodontal ligament and reversible increase in tooth mobility.
