    The aim of this study was to determine the periodontal status in relation to the quality of the adjacent proximal tooth surface. The gingival index (GI) and probable pocket depth (PD) were measured in 144 contra-lateral pairs of sound vs. restored and 95 contra-lateral pairs of sound vs. carious surfaces in 124 patients. The restorations studied were silver amalgams and tooth-coloured filling materials, the margins of which were supragingival or level with the gingival margins. The results showed that the GI and PD were greater for both restored and carious tooth surfaces than for the contra-lateral sound surfaces. When all the teeth were grouped together, the differences in the mean values of GI and PD were statistically significant at the P less than or equal to 0.05 level. A comparison between restored and carious (non-paired) tooth surfaces revealed higher mean values of GI and PD for the latter, which were highly significant at the P less than 0.001 level. Thus the present study shows that proximal tooth surface quality influences the health status of the adjacent periodontium.

    BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to compare clinical periodontal parameters and to assess the release of C-telopeptides pyridinoline cross-links (ICTP) and C-terminal crosslinked telopeptide (CTX) from gingival collagen of naswar (NW) and non-naswar (control) dippers.

    MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eighty-seven individuals (42 individuals consuming NW and 45 controls) were included. Clinical (plaque index, bleeding on probing, probing depth and clinical attachment loss) and radiographic (marginal bone loss) periodontal parameters were compared among NW and control groups. Gingival specimens were taken from subjects in NW and control groups, assessed for ICTP and CTX levels (using ELISA) and analyzed using micro-Raman spectroscopy. The significance of differences in periodontal parameters between the groups was determined using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. The percent loss of dry mass over exposure time and the rate of release of ICTP and CTX from all groups were compared using the paired t-test to examine the effects of exposure time.

    RESULTS: Clinical and radiographic periodontal parameters were significantly higher in the NW group than the control group (P
