  • Furthering Knowledge of the Pathogenesis of Periodontal Disease in the Evaluation of Biomarkers for Monitoring Disease Susceptibility and Activity
    Furthering knowledge of the pathogenesis of Periodontal Disease in the evaluation of biomarkers for monitoring disease susceptibility and activity. A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MPhil Cardiff University 2015 Bindhu Koshy Tissue Engineering and Reparative Dentistry School of Dentistry College of Biomedical and Life Sciences Cardiff University i Summary The development of periodontitis is a multifactorial process initiated by a bacterial-induced inflammation which is further modified by genetic and environmental factors contributing towards an exaggerated host response and associated tissue destruction. Pro-inflammatory mediators such as cytokines play an important role in the resulting inflammation leading to degradation of periodontal connective tissue, several of which may be detected in GCF and may be of diagnostic and prognostic value. However, our limited understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease restrains the effectiveness of current diagnostic and management techniques in assessing true periodontal health, identify susceptible patients, monitor response to therapy or implement the use of biomarkers which may assist in the management of patients with periodontal disease. The refore, this thesis aims to further our understanding of the pathology of periodontal disease through a series of in-vitro and in-vivo studies. In recognising that as a consequence of periodontal disease is the degradation of the extracellular matrix, clinical studies investigated the release of proteoglycan components from the periodontal tissue in patients with chronic periodontitis. Increasing levels of chondroitin sulphate (CS), a proteoglycan metabolite was observed with progressive clinical attachment loss, highlighted periods of activity and inactivity, with only a few sites demonstrating disease activity over a 21 month period.

  • Improving the Evidence Base for Oral Assessment in Stroke Patients
    Improving the evidence base for oral assessment in stroke patients By Hazel Ann Dickinson A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire May 2016 STUDENT DECLARATION FORM Concurrent registration for two or more academic awards *I declare that while registered as a candidate for the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another award of the University or other academic or professional institution __________________________________________________________________ Material submitted for another award *I declare that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work __________________________________________________________________ Signature of Candidate Type of Award PhD School Nursing Abstract Oral care is essential in maintaining oral hygiene and oral health. When oral care is neglected individuals are at risk of oral and systemic complications affecting general health. Stroke patients are one group who are at risk of poor oral health due to their physical and cognitive dependency. Providing oral care is normally the responsibility of the nurses, and currently there is little evidence to support oral care provided. Through a series of studies this thesis aims to explore oral care in hospitalised stroke patients with the aim of developing an oral assessment to inform oral care. An integrative literature review examining oral assessments developed for use in a dependent population, identified that an oral assessment for use in stroke patients did not exist. The majority of oral assessments had been developed using the empirical literature and/or expert opinion, with a focus to assess oral health and cleanliness.
