In the study we determined the total entioxidant capacity (TAC) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum in dogs with different severity of periodontal disease. The results of our study suggest that the local delivery of antioxidants may be useful adjunctive treatment for periodontitis in dogs and probably in humans

In previous period of research program we studied the role of herpes viruses in pathogenesis of periodontal disease in humans. With the use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) we found in 66 samples of gingival crevicular fluid taken from the patients with periodontal disease, Epstein-Barr virus in 43.9%, HHV in 24.2% and HCMV in 3% in the samples of periodontal patients with no periodontal disease the viruses were not found.

In cooperation with scientists from NIDCR in Bethesda, USA we studied the role of nitric oxide (NO) in diabetic patients with periodontal disease. The results shown the proinflammatory and antimicrobial role of NO in GCF in diabetic patients with periodontal disease.

The purpose of the study was to characterize the expression of TrkA receptor in trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons. In conclusion, the majority of neurons in TG that innervate the rat gingivomucosa are small or medium - sized, contain TrkA receptor and are most probably nociceptive

In clinical study we evaluated and compared the long-term clinical outcomes of Er:YAG laser-assisted periodontal flop surgery versus conventional treatment with the modified Widman flop procedure. We are concluding that surgical treatment of single-rooted teeth with chronic periodontitis using Er:YAG laser yields greater PD reduction and gains of CAL for up to 3 years compared to onventional Widman flap surgery.
