Genotypic and phenotypic characterization of Porphyromonas gingivalis in relation to virulence
(2007-05-23)The present thesis was designed to increase the knowledge on the role of pathogenic potential of Porphyromonas gingivalis as a putative periodontal pathogen. P. gingivalis was selected to be the model species for periodontal ... -
Influences of Statistical Analyses on Result Presentations of Oral Implant Treatment
(2007-05-23)Abstract Evaluation of oral implants involves at least three major components: statistical methods, study design and success criteria. The aims of the current thesis were to investigate how different statistical methods ... -
Individual prediction of treatment outcome in patients with temporomandibular disorders. A quality improvement model.
(2007-05-23)The general aim of this thesis was to create and evaluate a quality improvement model for prediction of treatment outcome in patients diagnosed with Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) of either Muscle or Mainly TMJ ... -
On nano size structures for enhanced bone formation
(2007-09-04)Purpose The general aim of the present thesis was to investigate early bone response to titanium implants modified with nano size structures. Therefore, 1. a model to evaluate titanium implants modified with nano size ... -
On Approaches to Periodontal Infection Control
(2007-10-09)The purpose of the project was to gain understanding of clinical possibilities and applicability of non-surgical periodontal therapy. A clinical study was designed to compare a full-mouth ultrasonic debridement approach ... -
Epidemiological Aspects on Apical Periodontitis. Studies based on the Prospective Population Study of Women in Göteborg and the Population Study on Oral Health in Jönköping, Sweden
(2007-10-09)The objectives of this thesis were to describe endodontic status in Swedish populations, to study clinical and socio-economic risk factors for apical periodontitis (AP) and to explore a possible association between AP and ... -
Studies on the Prevention of Periodontal Diseases
(2007-11-30)Studies on the Prevention of Periodontal Diseases Anna Bogren Dental plaque contains bacteria that colonize the subgingival area and causes periodontal diseases. Effective plaque removal is therefore a key issue in the ... -
On the role of number of fixtures, surgical technique and timing of loading
(2008-05-13)Aims: The aims of this thesis were to analyze reduced number of implants supporting full arch fixed mandibular prostheses and fixed partial dentures (FPDs), non-submerged healing and early loading in the edentulous mandible. ... -
Radiographic follow-up analysis of Brånemark® dental implants
(2008-05-15)Radiography plays an important role in clinical routine practice and in research projects evaluating dental implants, among them Brånemark® System. Presence of a peri-implant radiolucency has been used in studies as a ... -

(2008-05-22)On Dental Caries and Caries-Related Factors in Children and Teenagers Anita Alm, Department of Cariology, Institute of Odontology, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Box 450, SE-405 30 Göteborg, Sweden Dental ... -
On Approximal Caries Prevention using Fluoridated Toothpicks, Dental Floss and Interdental Brushes
(2008-09-10)Although dental health has improved during the last 40-50 years, approximal caries still constitutes a problem in many age groups. It is important that fluoride (F) toothpaste is used when brushing the teeth. In some ... -
Soft tissue integration to dental implants
(2008-09-26)Soft tissue integration is a prerequisite for implant success. The role of the soft tissue barrier at implants is to provide an effective seal that protects the underlying bone and prevents access for microorganisms and ... -
Molecular and Cellular Control of Palate Development in the Mouse
(2008-10-27)The formation of a definitive secondary palate in mammals is a multistep process that comprises growth, elevation, contact and fusion of the two palatal shelves. Disruption at any step generates cleft palate, a major ... -
On Carbohydrate Intake and Dental Status in the Elderly
(2008-11-11)People’s dental status has the potential to affect dietary intake and, at the same time, diet may affect the health of the dentition. To study the associations, the elderly appear to be an appropriate group and carbohydrates ... -
On antimicrobial approaches to arrest and control chronic periodontitis
(2009-05-08)The main objectives were to study the effect of frequently repeated supragingival plaque removal on the subgingival microbiota and periodontal pocket reduction and to analyze the adjunctive effect of different antimicrobial ... -
Gene Polymorphisms and Related Cell Markers in Periodontitis Lesions
(2009-05-18)Inflammatory and immune reactions to microbial plaque are the predominant features of periodontitis. Epidemiological studies revealed that differences in periodontitis among individuals could not be explained by ... -
The peri-implant tissues from an esthetic perspective
