Is persistence of Porphyromonas gingivalis a negative predictor in patients with moderate to severe periodontitis after nonsurgical periodontal therapy?
Persistence of P. gingivalis combined with a high GCF level of calprotectin may have a negative predictive value on response to periodontal therapy.
RSG prevents albuminuria and nephrin downregulation in experimental diabetes independently of glycaemic and blood pressure control. This effect likely occurs via correction of diabetes-induced inflammatory processes.
