Abstract
The interest of the scientific community on sex and gender differences in health and disease has increased substantially over the past 25 to 30 y as a result of a long process of events and policies in the biomedical field. This is crucial as compelling evidence from human and animal model studies has demonstrated that sex and gender influence health, molecular and cellular processes, and response and predisposition to disease. The present scoping review aims to provide a synthesis of sex differences in oral diseases, ranging from periodontal disease to orofacial pain conditions, from risk of caries development to apical periodontitis. Overall, findings from this review further support a role for sexual dimorphism influencing disease predisposition and/or progression in oral diseases. Of note, this review also highlights the lack of consideration of additional factors such as gender and other psychosocial and external factors potentially influencing oral health and disease. New conceptual frameworks capable of capturing multiple fundamental domains and measurements should be developed in clinical and preclinical studies to inform sex-based individualized preventive and treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prevalence of Grade C molar incisor periodontitis (C/MIP) in females (F) and males (M) is controversial, although some studies suggest higher prevalence in females. The objective of this study was to evaluate differences in clinical parameters, and levels of cyto/chemokines in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and peripheral blood response. METHODS GCF and blood were collected from 79 C/MIP African-American participants (53F and 26 M) and healthy controls (58F and 38 M), aged 5 to 23. Blood was stimulated with ultrapure LPS from Escherichia coli (Ec) and Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) and we quantified levels of 14 cyto/chemokines. Clinical parameters were collected before and 12 months following treatment RESULTS: No clinical parameters or age differences were found between males and females, although age was negatively correlated with response to treatment. GCF levels of TNFα, IFNγ, MIP1α, and MCP1 from diseased and sites and healthy sites IFNγ levels were higher in M (P < 0.05). C/MIP females presented higher Pg and Ec LPS induced levels of Eotaxin, IFNγ, and GMCSF (P < 0.05), whereas healthy males presented higher Ec LPS induced levels of Eotaxin and IFNγ (P < 0.05). Inflammatory profiles were also different among genders in disease (P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS Although males seemed to present few elevated inflammatory markers in the GCF in disease and in health, females presented an elevated systemic inflammatory response to LPS in disease, which indicates a possible differential susceptibility to inflammation. Future studies need to determine if sex hormones have a role in the peripheral host response and in the pathogenesis of C/MIP.

Abstract
Background Periodontal pathogens play an important role in etiology and pathogenesis of periodontitis. Microbiological examination of sub gingival plaque is used at the present time in etiological research as well as in clinical treatment of periodontitis to select the appropriate antibiotic agent if indicated. Pine tar has been used for the treatment of various skin diseases. So the study was done to evaluate the effect of Pine Tar oil on bacteria isolated from periodontitis patients. Methods Plaque samples from volunteer patients were collected using sterile paper points. Robertson's Cooked Meat (RCM) medium was used for the transportation and cultivation of aerobic, microaerophilic, and anaerobic microorganisms. Results The result suggests the use of Pine tar oil for topical application in periodontal diseases. Disc diffusion analysis was sufficient enough to illustrate that 75 µl tar oil solution produced growth inhibition of microbial strains. Conclusion Pine tar oil has become one of the important areas of research both in pharmaceutical and periodontal research, hence in vivo studies has to be carried out with various form of pine tar.

Abstract
AIM The prevalence of aggressive periodontitis (AgP) varies considerably between studies. The aim of this meta-analysis was to estimate, throughout the world, the prevalence of this disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pubmed/Medline, Scopus, Science Direct, EBSCO and Cochrane library were systematically searched up to March 2018. Study selection criteria included cross-sectional studies reporting prevalence of AgP in non-specific population and permanent dentition. We assessed risk of bias using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool. A random effect meta-analysis model was used to estimate the prevalence of AgP. Publication bias was assessed by Begg and Egger's tests and visual aspect of funnel plot. RESULTS A total of 33 articles were included. Pooled prevalence for AgP was 1.6% (95% CI 1.1-2.3). Higher pooled prevalence rates were reported in Africa (4.2%, 95% CI 2.0-7.1) and South America (4.0%, 95% CI 0.9-9.1) compared with Europe (0.1%, 95% CI 0.1-0.2). A pooled prevalence of 1.2%, 95% CI 0.5-2.2 was found in Asia and 0.8%, 95% CI 0.4-1.4 in North America. Heterogeneity between groups was statistically significant (Q statistic p < .001). CONCLUSIONS A relatively high prevalence of AgP was found in Africa. However, the data support the weakness of the definition of this form of periodontal disease. Studies with less heterogeneity are needed to address accurately the prevalence of AgP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies assessing clinical and radiographic peri-implant parameters around short dental implants (SDIs) in treated generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP) patients are scant. OBJECTIVES This 3-year follow-up study aimed to compare the clinical peri-implant and radiographic bone status around SDIs placed in partially edentulous patients treated for GAgP and periodontally healthy patients and to assess the implant success rate between both the groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of seven patients clinically diagnosed with GAgP and seven periodontally healthy patients was included in the clinical study. Forty-eight (29 maxilla; 19 mandible) and 11 (8 maxilla; 3 mandible) SDIs were placed in the GAgP group and healthy group, respectively. Plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded at six sites around all teeth and implants. Marginal bone loss (MBL) was studied incorporating in a specialized software and examined on a calibrated computer display screen with the help of an image analyzer. Patient satisfaction was recorded using a questionnaire sheet that contained questions regarding esthetics and function of the restorations. RESULTS The implant survival rate after 3 years was 81.25%. BOP and CAL around SDIs of GAgP patients were significantly higher than in periodontally healthy subjects (P = .01) throughout the follow-up. CAL around the teeth of GAgP patients was significantly greater during the follow-up than around the teeth of periodontal healthy subjects (P = .02). The PI and BOP between the teeth and implants showed no statistical significant difference. The mean PD at teeth was 0.4 mm greater than at implants. Implants showed significantly increased attachment loss than teeth (P = .01). The overall mean satisfaction of visual analogue scale was 12.8 ± 1.45. CONCLUSION This short-term follow-up study indicates SDIs remain functionally stable in the posterior jaws of treated GAgP patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim was to review the literature on aggressive periodontitis diagnosed during or before the initiation of orthodontic treatment and to propose preventive recommendations before, during and after orthodontic treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Literature searches of free text and MeSH terms were performed by using PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library and the appropriate studies were selected. The retrieved articles were analyzed and the relevant data was tabulated according to different parameters. RESULTS A total of 220 articles were found in the preliminary search. Eighteen studies, all case reports, describing 21 cases from this search met all the criteria. The mean age of the reported cases was 21.12 years, all treated with combined periodontal and orthodontic modalities. Most of the reported cases were female. CONCLUSION An interdisciplinary dental team must approve the periodontal health prior to and during the course of the orthodontic therapy. In subjects with periodontal pathology, a periodontal consultation and interceptive/corrective therapy should be performed prior to commencing with orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic treatment should be postponed or replanned in order to shorten treatment duration and reduce the orthodontic forces exerted on the aggressive periodontitis involved dentition.

Abstract
Polymorphisms in IL-1 gene have been suggested to influence transcription of IL-1α and IL-1B and thereby the pathophysiology of periodontitis. Using genotyping IL-1 test, a pilot study was conducted on 32 Syrian patients with aggressive periodontitis (AgP) and 35 healthy controls to investigate the association between the IL-1α(−889), IL-1B(+3953) gene polymorphisms and AgP among schoolchildren. The results revealed a similar distribution of genotypes between patients and controls, and did not support an association between IL-1 gene polymorphisms and AgP, however, the association was significant in male patients only. To determine and confirm any susceptible or resistant genes for AgP, future studies should use many target genes and well-defined related periodontal outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Detailed genetic analysis of bacteria has demonstrated an unanticipated genetic diversity within species, which often reveals evolutionary lineages that are disproportionately associated with infection. There is evidence that some evolutionary lineages of bacteria have adapted to particular ethnic groups. AIM This review analyzes to what extent observed differences in periodontal disease prevalence among ethnically or geographically distinct populations may be explained by restricted host adaptation of clones of principal periodontal pathogens. RESULTS Carriage rates of several putative periodontal pathogens and particular subsets of these species vary between ethnic groups. Few of these differences can, with the limited information available, be directly related to differences in periodontal disease prevalence. Asian populations are regularly colonized with Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans serotype c with questionable pathogenic potential. Conversely, the JP2 clone of A. actinomycetemcomitans has enhanced virulence and causes significantly higher prevalence of aggressive periodontitis in adolescents whose descent can be traced back to the Mediterranean and Western parts of Africa. Some genetically distinct types of Porphyromonas gingivalis are more associated with disease than others, but additional work is required to relate this to clinical differences. CONCLUSIONS Studies that take into account differences linked to the genetics of both patients and potential pathogens are likely to give better insight into the aetiology of periodontal diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine to what extent the presence or absence of periodontal pathogens can distinguish between subjects with chronic and aggressive periodontitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS A systematic review of cross sectional and longitudinal studies providing microbiological data both from patients with chronic periodontitis (ChP) and aggressive periodontitis (AgP) at a subject level. Strict inclusion criteria were applied. The presence or absence of five microorganisms was selected as primary study parameters: Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (AA), Porphyromonas gingivalis (PG), Prevotella intermedia (PI), Bacteroides forsythus (BF), and Campylobacter rectus (CR). RESULTS The presence or absence of AA could be evaluated in 11 papers. In seven papers the presence or absence of PG could be analysed. Subject specific data on PI were available from six studies. Two studies could be used regarding the presence or absence of BF, and two regarding CR. Sensitivity and specificity of every microbiological test were individually calculated for each selected study, assuming that the clinical diagnosis of AgP or ChP was the true status the tests attempted to detect. AgP was considered to be the condition of interest and ChP was considered equivalent to 'non-AgP'. Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) diagrams were constructed using these data. ROC diagrams indicated the limited discriminatory ability of all of the test parameters to identify subjects with AgP. An additional assessment showed that the highly leukotoxic variant of AA was uniquely associated with patients suffering from aggressive periodontitis. However, in a high proportion of patients diagnosed with AgP the presence of this variant could not be detected. CONCLUSION The presence or absence of AA, PG, PI, BF or CR could not discriminate between subjects with AgP from those with ChP.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of localized and generalized aggressive periodontitis, as well as of incidental attachment loss, in a population of adolescents and young adults aging between 15 and 25 years (19.4 +/- 3.44) from Vale do Paraíba - SP, who searched for general dental care at the Department of Dentistry, University of Taubaté, São Paulo. Six hundred patients, 244 male and 356 female subjects, were included in the studied sample. The periodontal status of this population was evaluated by measuring the depth of periodontal pockets, as well as attachment loss. The data were confirmed by means of radiographic examination. Measurements were performed in six sites per tooth. Ten subjects (1.66%) were diagnosed as having localized aggressive periodontitis, 2 males (aging 18.5 +/- 2.12 years) and 8 females (aging 19.2 +/- 3.91 years); 22 (3.66%) presented with generalized aggressive periodontitis, 6 males (aging 19.1 +/- 3.06 years) and 16 females (aging 20.1 +/- 2.71 years); and 86 individuals (14.3%) presented with incipient periodontitis, 29 males (aging 20.2 +/- 2.87 years) and 57 females (aging 21.1 +/- 2.79 years). There was a positive correlation between the female gender and the occurrence of periodontal disease.
