| first report of severe acute otitis media caused by campylobacter rectus and review of the literature. | campylobacter rectus is a member of the human oral flora and is associated with periodontal disease. we report the first case of severe acute otitis media (aom) due to c. rectus in a previous healthy 15-year-old boy, which was confirmed by 16s ribosomal rna gene sequencing. c. rectus is a possible causative pathogen of aom. | 2016 | 27363873 |
| clinical, radiographic and microbiological evaluation of high level laser therapy, a new photodynamic therapy protocol, in peri-implantitis treatment; a pilot experience. | aim. endosseous implants are widely used to replace missing teeth but mucositis and peri-implantitis are the most frequent long-term complications related with dental implants. removing all bacterial deposits on contaminated implant surface is very difficult due to implant surface morphology. the aim of this study was to evaluate the bactericidal potential of photodynamic therapy by using a new high level laser irradiation protocol associated with hydrogen peroxide in peri-implantitis. materials ... | 2016 | 27379251 |

| the oral microbiome and adverse pregnancy outcomes. | significant evidence supports an association between periodontal pathogenic bacteria and preterm birth and preeclampsia. the virulence properties assigned to specific oral pathogenic bacteria, for example, fusobacterium nucleatum, porphyromonas gingivalis, filifactor alocis, campylobacter rectus, and others, render them as potential collaborators in adverse outcomes of pregnancy. several pathways have been suggested for this association: 1) hematogenous spread (bacteremia) of periodontal pathoge ... | 2017 | 28848365 |
