- There is evidence from epidemiological research on the association between periodontal diseases (PD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). In spite of these significant associations, however, there is still a lack of awareness in the cardiovascular community on their possible importance. In view of this evidence, an expert panel composed by six European periodontists and four cardiologists addressed the following questions: a) How important is the association of PD and CVD?; b) How do we measure exposure (PD) and outcome (CVD)?; c) What is the pathogenic link?; d) What is the relative importance of periodontal therapy as prevention of CVD?; e) Is it justified to recommend periodontal health with the goal of reducing CV risk?; f) What clinical and experimental research is needed?. The general conclusions were that even though these proven epidemiological association between PD and CVD, there is, however, no compelling evidence that preventive periodontal care or therapeutic intervention will influence cardiac health. As Periodontitis continues to have a high prevalence within the population and the fact that CVD remains as the major cause of human death in developed countries, in light of these associations we can legitimately, based on evidence, state that oral health has an influence on systemic health in general and in CVD in particular, and therefore, we should promote oral health in general and periodontal health in particular as part of a healthy life style and hence as an important component in the prevention of CVD.

The synthetic chemoattractant Trp-Lys-Tyr-Met-Val-DMet activates neutrophils preferentially through the lipoxin A(4) receptor.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A D-methionine-containing peptide, Trp-Lys-Tyr-Met-Val-D-Met-NH(2) (WKYMVm), featuring a unique receptor specificity was investigated with respect to its ability to activate neutrophil effector functions. The peptide was found to be more potent than the N-formylated peptide N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLF) at inducing neutrophil chemotaxis, mobilization of neutrophil complement receptor 3 (CR3), and activation of the neutrophil NADPH-oxidase. The fact that binding of fML[(3)H]F was inhibited by both fMLF and WKYMVm suggests that N-formyl peptide receptor (FPR) is shared by these peptides. However, the neutrophil response induced by the WKYMVm peptide was insensitive to the fMLF antagonists, cyclosporin H, and Boc-FLFLF that specifically block the function of the FPR. These results suggest that even though WKYMVm may bind FPR the cells are activated preferentially through a receptor distinct from the FPR. Using transfected HL-60 cells expressing either the FPR or its neutrophil homologue FPRL1, also referred to as LXA(4)R because it has been shown to bind lipoxin A(4), we show that WKYMVm is about 300-fold more active at mobilizing intracellular calcium through FPRL1 than through FPR. The WKYMVm activates FPRL1-expressing cells in a cyclosporin H-independent manner with an EC(50 )of around 75 pmol/L, whereas it activates FPR-expressing cells with an EC(50 )of around 25 nmol/L. The observation that exudated cells are primed in their response to WKYMVm suggests that FPRL1/LXA(4)R like FPR is stored in mobilizable organelles. (Blood. 2000;95:1810-1818)

- Aim: The aim was to assess the potential trends in Periodontology and Periodontics in Europe that might be anticipated by the year 2025, using the Delphi method. Material and Methods: The expert opinion of 120 experts was sought through the use of an open-ended questionnaire, developed by an advisory group, containing 40 questions concerning the various trends in periodontology Results: The experts (113 responders) expect a stabilization of the prevalence of periodontitis, both for the chronic as well as the aggressive cases, but an increase in implant-related diseases up to the year 2025. Concurrently, the importance of implants is seen to be increasing. They foresee an increased demand for postgraduate periodontology and implantology training. This is mirrored in an increase in publications for implant dentistry and increase in demand and need for training. Concerning the patients, better-informed individuals seeking more routine checkups are expected Conclusion: A continued need for specialized periodontists, but also well trained dental practitioners is foreseen for next decade in Europe. Apart from periodontology they will be increasingly exposed to and trained in implant dentistry

- Prevotella bivia has been associated with female upper genital tract infections and an increased risk of preterm delivery. In this study, the adherence and invasion capacity of P. bivia was investigated using a cervix epithelial cell line. P. bivia was furthermore analysed for its ability to evoke a proinflammatory cytokine response in epithelial cells. The invasion capacity, defined as the number of bacteria recovered from lysed HeLa cells infected with P. bivia, varied considerably among five strains, all of which were isolates from women with bacterial vaginosis. One P. bivia strain (P47) gave rise to an approximately 120-fold higher number of intracellular bacteria (7 x 10(3) bacteria per 1 x 10(5) cells) compared with the least invasive strain. Three strains expressed an intermediate or low invasiveness, showing an approximately 3- to 40-fold higher number of intracellular bacteria per 1 x 10(5) cells compared with the least invasive strain. The intracellular localization of P47 in phagosome-like vesicles was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. All P. bivia strains adhered to HeLa cells to the same extent (range 14-22 bacteria per cell) as analysed by interference microscopy. No correlation was found between adhesion and invasion capacity of the strains. Furthermore, no fimbriae-like structures were observed on P47 detected by scanning electron microscopy or negative staining. Analysis of TNF-alpha, IL-1alpha, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-18 in P. bivia-stimulated HeLa cells showed low levels of only IL-6 and IL-8 for the most invasive P. bivia strain P47. Thus, the induction of IL-6 or IL-8 secretion appeared to be associated with invasion capacity. This work provides evidence that some P. bivia isolates can invade human cervix epithelial. Thus, a strong capacity for invasion and a weak proinflammatory cytokine-inducing capacity in P. bivia are suggested to be virulence factors in establishing a low-grade upper genital tract infection.

- BACKGROUND: Over the last two decades, progress in prevention and treatment of caries and periodontal diseases has been translated to better oral health and improved tooth retention in the adult population. The ageing population and the increasing expectations of good oral health-related quality of life in older age pose formidable challenges to clinical care and healthcare systems.AIMS: The objective of this workshop was to critically review scientific evidence and develop specific recommendations to: (i) prevent tooth loss and retain oral function through prevention and treatment of caries and periodontal diseases later in life and (ii) increase awareness of the health benefits of oral health as an essential component of healthy ageing.METHODS: Discussions were initiated by three systematic reviews covering aspects of epidemiology of caries and periodontal diseases in elders, the impact of senescence on caries and periodontal diseases and the effectiveness of interventions. Recommendations were developed based on evidence from the systematic reviews and expert opinion.RESULTS: Key messages included: (i) the ageing population, trends in risk factors and improved tooth retention point towards an expected increase in the total burden of disease posed by caries and periodontal diseases in the older population; (ii) specific surveillance is required to monitor changes in oral health in the older population; (iii) senescence impacts oral health including periodontitis and possibly caries susceptibility; (iv) evidence indicates that caries and periodontal diseases can be prevented and treated also in older adults; (v) oral health and functional tooth retention later in life provides benefits both in terms of oral and general quality of life and in terms of preventing physical decline and dependency by fostering a healthy diet; (vi) oral healthcare professionals and individuals should not base decisions impacting tooth retention on chronological age but on level of dependency, life expectancy, frailty, comfort and quality of life; and (vii) health policy should remove barriers to oral health care for vulnerable elders.CONCLUSIONS: Consensus was reached on specific actionable priorities for public health officials, oral healthcare professionals, educators and workforce planners, caregivers and relatives as well as for the public and ageing patients. Some priorities have major implications for policymakers as health systems need to adapt to the challenge by systemwide changes to enable (promote) tooth retention later in life and management of deteriorating oral health in increasingly dependent elders.
