Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of material characteristics and/or surface topography on biofilm development
TL;DR: This systematic review aimed to evaluate critically the impact of surface characteristics (free energy, roughness, chemistry) on the de novo biofilm formation, especially in the supragingival and to a lesser extent in the subgingival areas.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: While gingival health and gingivitis have many clinical features, case definitions are primarily predicated on presence or absence of bleeding on probing, which creates differences in the way in which a "case" of gedival health or gingIVitis is defined for clinical practice as opposed to epidemiologically in population prevalence surveys.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Data support the belief that professionally administered plaque control significantly improves gingival inflammation and lowers plaque scores, with some evidence that reinforcement of oral hygiene provides further benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of lifestyle, behaviour or systemic diseases with dental caries and periodontal diseases: consensus report of group 2 of the joint EFP/ORCA workshop on the boundaries between caries and periodontal diseases.

TL;DR: Functional foods or probiotics could be helpful in caries prevention and periodontal disease management, although evidence is limited and biological mechanisms not fully elucidated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical and microbiological effects of Lactobacillus reuteri probiotics in the treatment of chronic periodontitis: a randomized placebo-controlled study

TL;DR: The results indicate that oral administration of L. reuteri lozenges could be a useful adjunct to SRP in chronic periodontitis.
