Neutrophil Serine Proteases in Health and Disease
(2022-05-17)Neutrophils are filled with many antimicrobial agents, including the neutrophil serine proteases (NSPs); a group of proteases including Elastase, Proteinase 3, and Cathepsin G. Synthesized as inactive proforms, the NSPs ... -
On antimicrobial approaches to arrest and control chronic periodontitis
(2009-05-08)The main objectives were to study the effect of frequently repeated supragingival plaque removal on the subgingival microbiota and periodontal pocket reduction and to analyze the adjunctive effect of different antimicrobial ... -
On Approaches to Periodontal Infection Control
(2007-10-09)The purpose of the project was to gain understanding of clinical possibilities and applicability of non-surgical periodontal therapy. A clinical study was designed to compare a full-mouth ultrasonic debridement approach ... -
On Approximal Caries Prevention using Fluoridated Toothpicks, Dental Floss and Interdental Brushes
(2008-09-10)Although dental health has improved during the last 40-50 years, approximal caries still constitutes a problem in many age groups. It is important that fluoride (F) toothpaste is used when brushing the teeth. In some ... -
On biological response and wear particles around oral implants and implant components
(2023-11-01)ABSTRACT Wear particles released from implant components are gaining interest in the dental literature. In orthopedic medicine, wear particles are known to cause bone loss around medical implants in an aseptic manner and ... -
On CAD/CAM generated fixed dental prostheses, fit and effect of ceramic veneering
(2016-11-28)The general aims of this thesis were to study CAD/CAM production processes, material aspects on cobalt-chromium (CoCr), clinical performance, and fit of tooth-, and implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). A ... -
On Carbohydrate Intake and Dental Status in the Elderly
(2008-11-11)People’s dental status has the potential to affect dietary intake and, at the same time, diet may affect the health of the dentition. To study the associations, the elderly appear to be an appropriate group and carbohydrates ... -
On Caries Risk Profile and Prevention in an Adult Saudi Population
