Description:

Periodontal diseases and dental caries are almost universally prevalent across the world, and oral cancer, the commonest cause of cancer in some developing countries, is a growing problem also in industrial populations. Nevertheless, severe oral disease exists in only a minority of any population, and the three volumes forming Risk Markers for Oral Diseases set out to characterize these at-risk groups and define markers by which they may be identified. Reviewing epidemiological, clinical and laboratory data, these volumes point the way towards improved diagnostic and prognostic testing, an exciting and rapidly expanding aspect of dentistry. This volume discusses in detail the distribution…

Introduction: current concepts of the nature and natural history of periodontal diseases and the need for disease markers



Evidence for the Existence of High Risk Groups and Individual



The distribution of periodontal destruction in the populations of industrialized countries



The distribution of periodontal destruction in the populations of non-industrialized countries: evidence for the existence of high risk groups and individuals



Severe forms of periodontitis in children, juveniles and adults: worldwide prevalence



Methods for the Characterization of High Risk Groups and Individuals



Unchanging, subject-based risk factors for destructive periodontitis: race, sex, genetic, congenital and childhood systemic diseases



Changing subject-based risk factors for destructive periodontitis



Clinical markers of active periodontal disease



Immunological procedures for diagnosis and risk assessment in periodontal diseases



Markers of periodontal disease susceptibility and activity derived from saliva



Markers of periodontal disease susceptibility and activity derived from gingival crevicular fluid: specific vs. non-specific analyses



Host-derived enzyme activities in gingival crevicular fluid as markers of periodontal disease susceptibility and activity: historical perspective, biological significance and clinical implications



Prostaglandins and other eicanosoids in gingival crevicular fluid as markers of periodontal disease activity



The connective tissues of the periodontium and their breakdown products in gingival crevicular fluid as markers of periodontal disease activity



Do bacterial markers exist in subgingival plaque for predicting periodontal disease susceptibility?



New methods for microbial screening in the diagnosis of periodontal infections: cultural, immunological, gene probes



Practical Applications and Implications
