In the present study we aimed to bring to the fore the most common bacteria with a role in the production of periodontal disease. We have also highlighted the way in which they act in the oral cavity, the way in which they are grafted onto the structures and tissues in the oral cavity and the concrete way in which they play their devastating role. Knowledge of the types of microbes involved in this disease can lead to the development of methods to eradicate them, so that this pathology, increasingly common especially in middle-aged and elderly people, can be stopped or even treated.

Introduction. The objectives of this study were to assess the relationship between centric relation-habitual occlusion discrepancy and temporomandibular disorder symptoms, the spatial planes in which the discrepancy is encountered and the correlation between gender and muscle pain. Materials and methods. Thirty subjects (14 females, 16 males), aged between 20-30 years, were clinically evaluated, as follows: muscle (temporalis, masseter, lateral and medial pterygoid) and temporomandibular joint examination, occlusal (static and dynamic) relationships, centric relation. Casts were mounted in centric relation using an articulator and then three-dimensionally analyzed. Results and discussion. Muscle pain was found in 57.14% females and 37.5% males. Discrepancy was higher in subjects with pain in all planes (transversal 0.92 mm vs. 0.26 mm [correlation coefficient=0.897]; sagittal 0.94 mm vs. 0.85 mm [correlation coefficient=0.249]; vertical 1.15 mm vs. 0.36 mm [correlation coefficient=0.504]) and similar in males and females. Conclusions. Transversal discrepancy was associated with muscle pain. Muscle pain and discrepancy were not correlated with gender. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The immunohistochemical staining is employed the D2 -40 antibody in visualizing the lymphatic vessels in prepared tissue sections taken from various parts of the fixed or free (jugular, gingival, papillary, labial) oral mucosa. The lymphatic vessels form rich terminal networks in the superficial structures and in the subepithelium of the oral mucosa. The specific features of the lymphatic networks in both the normal and affected oral mucosa can help the research of the role played by the lymphatic system in a series of mucosal, periodontal or potentially malign conditions.

The oral mucosa is a part of the mucosal immune system, which cannot be dissociated from systemic immune defences. Over 75% of the immunocytes producing immunoglobulin are located in the digestive tract, primarily in the Peyerplates. An impressive number of "standardized" antigens transit the mouth cavity, some of them by means of the upper airway and others along the digestive tract. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
