“Bromelain is a term used to describe proteolytic enzymes found in tissues, such as the stem, fruit, and leaves of pineapple…This article indicates the possible mechanisms through which bromelain may ameliorate the progression and development of periodontitis. Bromelain can act by decreasing periodontal microorganism growth, by proteolytically cleaving important cell surface molecules in leucocytes, by […]
“High-sugar, high-saturated fat, low-polyols, low-fiber and low-polyunsaturated-fat intake causes an increased risk of periodontal diseases. This pattern of nutrients is classically found in the Western diet. An individual adopting an unhealthy diet will be at risk of periodontal disease.”
Triclosan is an antimicrobial ingredient present in more than 2000 consumer and industrial products. “The study, which was conducted in mice, concluded that microbial enzymes induce colitis by reactivating Triclosan in the gastrointestinal tract. By blocking the process in mice, the researchers prevented damage to the colon and symptoms of colitis, which is a form […]
“In the present study, Triphala’s strong antimicrobial effect against Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Clostridium bacilli, and Staphylococcus aureus was detected.”
“ The oral cavity is the gateway for microorganisms into your body where they disseminate not only to the directly connected respiratory and digestive tracts but also to the many remote organs. Oral microbiota, travelling to the end of the intestine and circulating in our bodies through blood vessels, not only affect a gut microbiome […]
One-year effects of vitamin D and calcium supplementation on chronic periodontitis. “Calcium and vitamin D supplementation (≤1,000 IU/day) had a modest positive effect on periodontal health, and consistent dental care improved clinical parameters of periodontal disease regardless of such supplements”
“The number of study participants ranged between 53 and 513,258 individuals with age ranging between 20 years and 85 years (median age ranging between 34.9 ± 4.9 years and 50.9 ± 16.6 years). In all studies, a positive relationship between Chronic Periodontitis and Erectile Dysfunction was reported. In four studies, odds ratio were reported, ranging […]
“Patients with NUG or NUP may have a history of personal stress, poor oral hygiene, cachexia, heavy smoking and poor nutrition with possible vitamin deficiency. To optimize healing, adequate energy (calories) and protein intakes are critical, along with vitamin and minerals. A healthy diet is also important for maintaining oral health post-recovery. Dietary recommendations for […]
“A growing body of evidence in the literature shows the direct and indirect impact of periodontal pathogens on overall health. Recent epidemiological, clinical and experimental studies support the relationship between bacteremia or inflammation due to periodontal disease and systemic disease.”
“Toothpaste with xylitol led to a decrease in S. mutans colonies in saliva, the amount of secreted saliva, and the increase of pH value. It has a positive effect on the quality of the oral environment and it would be useful introducing it into prophylactic programmes” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4232036/…
