Differential expression of transcription factors NF- κB and STAT3 in periodontal ligament fibroblasts and gingiva of healthy and diseased individuals
Periodontal disease is a multifactorial disease which is initiated by microorganisms in dental plaque, but disease progression is predominantly mediated by host immnoinflammatory response which is dictated by genetic susceptibility and environmental factors (Kornman, 2008). Risk factors like diabetes mellitus, smoking etc can influence this host response. The exact molecular events happening in the host response are still not completely understood. Multiple cell signaling pathways and many intermediate factors take part in this inflammatory response. (Source: Archives of Oral Biology)

Food Transit Duration is Associated with the Number of Stage II Transport Cycles when Eating Solid Food
In the traditional description of swallowing, the oral phase has been sub-divided into the oral preparatory phase and the oral propulsive phase (Logemann, 1998). During the oral preparatory phase, food is taken into the oral cavity, masticated, mixed with saliva, re-collected by the tongue, and shaped into a bolus in preparation for transport into the pharynx when swallowing is initiated. The oral propulsive phase of swallowing is the propulsion of the bolus into the pharynx. Although this simple, 2-phase model has served clinicians well as a rudimentary description of the oral stage of ingesting liquids, it does not accur...

Identification of oral cavity biofilm forming bacteria and determination of their growth inhibition by Acacia arabica, Tamarix aphylla L. and Melia azedarach L. medicinal plants
Oral health is integral to general well-being and relates to the overall quality of life. Oral diseases are one of the leading health problems associated with majority of people around the globe. Connection between oral infection and activities of microbial species that form part of the microbiota of the oral cavity has well been recognized (Salam, Sarker, Haq,& Khokon, 2015). Reports have shown that over 1000 bacterial strains inhabit in the dental plaque (50% of which are unidentified) and a number of these are associated with oral diseases (R.

Effect of follicular dendritic cell secreted protein on gene expression of human periodontal ligament cells
Periodontal ligament (PDL) plays quite important roles in proprioception, tooth support and acts as a receptor of biting forces and shock absorber against the mastication impact (Lv et al., 2009; Ralph 1982; Poiate, de Vasconcellos, de Santana,& Poiate, 2009). It is an unmineralized connective tissue that connects cementum and alveolar bone, which located between the alveolar bone and the tooth. Periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) are considered as an ideal cell type for periodontal regeneration including the restoration of periodontal ligament, cementum and alveolar bone, due to their mesenchymal stem cell-like properties ...
