Periodontitis is a serious case of gingivitis associated with gum infection that damages the soft tissue and destroys the bone that supports your teeth as a result of long-term poor oral hygiene
Periodontitis is preventable if the progression of gingivitis stages is stopped
Gingivitis is a common and mild form of periodontal disease caused by inflammation of the gingiva, leading to symptoms of irritation, redness, and swelling of the gum that lines the base of the teeth.
Gingivitis dental plaques formed around the base of the teeth are sticky biofilms of bacteria associated with the interaction of the food intake and bacteria in the mouth. Over time, if untreated, the condition can lead to periodontitis and advanced periodontitis.
At this early stage, the bone and connective tissue that hold the teeth in place are not yet affected. The problems can be reversed by more frequent and proper brushing and flossing.
Epidemiologically, risk factors that induce the onset of gingivitis are smoking or chewing tobacco. diabetes and long-term use of certain medications including oral contraceptives, steroids, anticonvulsants, and calcium channel blockers.
Some people under the treatment of chemotherapy may also experience symptoms of gingivitis.
The Colgate Professional examined the symptoms and advised that if you have experienced some of the symptoms that do not heal themselves in a short time, such as puffy or swollen, or tender, bleeding during brushing or flossing,... and constant bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth, you may have gingivitis.
Cranberry is an evergreen dwarf shrub, genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern America and Southern Asia. Because of its health benefits, cranberry has been cultivated in some parts of the world for commercial profit and used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat wounds, urinary disorders, diarrhea, diabetes, stomach ailments, and liver problems.
In finding a potential compound for the treatment of periodontitis, researchers examined the effect of cranberry and rice extracts as a potent gingipain inhibitor.
Based on the tested analysis, cranberry and rice extracts interfere with gingipain activity that causes the slowing down the progression of adult periodontitis.
Furthermore, the extracts prevented the growth and biofilm formation of periodontal pathogens and induced the onset of periodontitis.
Moreover, the extracts also inhibited a broad spectrum of host proteases in the induction of undesirable side effects
As of today, the ideal gingipain inhibitor has yet to be discovered, however, cranberry and rice extracts may be a promising gingipain inhibitor comapred to gingipain N-terminal pro domains, synthetic compounds, antibiotics, antiseptics, antibodies, and bacteria which may induce undesirable side effects
The results strongly suggested that cranberry promotes oral health by inhibiting the onset and progression of periodontitis through its anti-bacterial activity
Taken together, cranberry may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of periodontitis, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
