  • Learned and unlearned concepts in periodontal diagnostics: a 50‐year perspective
    Periodontology 2000, 2013
    Co-Authors: Gary C. Armitage
    Abstract:

    In the past 50 years, conceptual changes in the field of periodontal diagnostics have paralleled those associated with a better scientific understanding of the full spectrum of processes that affect periodontal health and disease. Fifty years ago, concepts regarding the diagnosis of periodontal diseases followed the classical pathology paradigm. It was believed that the two basic forms of destructive periodontal disease were chronic inflammatory periodontitis and 'Periodontosis'- a degenerative condition. In the subsequent 25 years it was shown that Periodontosis was an infection. By 1987, major new concepts regarding the diagnosis and pathogenesis of periodontitis included: (i) all cases of untreated gingivitis do not inevitably progress to periodontitis; (ii) progression of untreated periodontitis is often episodic; (iii) some sites with untreated periodontitis do not progress; (iv) a rather small population of specific bacteria ('periodontal pathogens') appear to be the main etiologic agents of chronic inflammatory periodontitis; and (v) tissue damage in periodontitis is primarily caused by inflammatory and immunologic host responses to infecting agents. The concepts that were in place by 1987 are still largely intact in 2012. However, in the decades to come, it is likely that new information on the human microbiome will change our current concepts concerning the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal diseases.

  • Outcomes in patients visiting hospital emergency departments in the United States because of periodontal conditions
    Journal of periodontology, 2010
    Co-Authors: Satheesh Elangovan, Romesh Nalliah, Veeratrishul Allareddy, Nadeem Y. Karimbux
    Abstract:

    Background: The chances of presenting to hospital emergency departments (EDs) are significantly higher in individuals who ignore regular dental care and in those with medical conditions. Little is known about nationwide estimates of hospital-based ED visits caused by periodontal conditions in the United States. The objective of this study is to determine the incidence of ED visits caused by periodontal conditions that occurred in a 2006 nationwide sample and to identify the risk factors for hospitalization during the ED visits.Methods: The Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS) for 2006 was used for this study. Patients who visited the ED with a primary diagnosis of acute gingivitis, chronic gingivitis, gingival recession, aggressive or acute periodontitis, chronic periodontitis, Periodontosis, accretions, other specified periodontal disease, or unspecified gingival and periodontal disease were selected for this study. Estimates were projected to the national levels using the discharge weights. The...

  • Ocular surface squamous neoplasia in Papillon-Lefevre syndrome
    American journal of ophthalmology, 2005
    Co-Authors: Ramesh Murthy, Santosh G Honavar, Geeta K. Vemuganti, Sanghamitra Burman, Milind N. Naik, A. Parathasaradhi
    Abstract:

    Purpose To report the occurrence of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) in a patient with Papillon–Lefevre syndrome. Design Interventional case report. Methods A 14-year-old boy presented with a progressively growing limbal lesion in the right eye for 2 months. He had associated erythematous scaly lesions on the elbows, knees, and feet with Periodontosis suggestive of Papillon–Lefevre syndrome. An excision biopsy of the limbal tumor and a skin biopsy was performed. Results The limbal tumor showed features of carcinoma in situ with clear margins. The skin biopsy showed epidermal hyperplasia and hyperkeratosis with perivascular infiltrates, consistent with Papillon–Lefevre syndrome. Conclusions Ocular surface squamous neoplasia may occur in patients with Papillon–Lefevre syndrome, an association that to the best of our knowledge has not been previously reported.
