Abstract
Inflammation is a highly organized event impacting upon organs, tissues and biological systems. Periodontal diseases are characterized by dysregulation or dysfunction of resolution pathways of inflammation that results in failure to heal and in a dominant chronic, progressive, destructive and predominantly unresolved inflammation. The biological consequences of inflammatory processes may be independent of the etiological agents, such as trauma, microbial organisms and stress. The impact of the inflammatory pathological process depends upon the tissues or organ system affected. Whilst mediators are similar, there is tissue specificity for the inflammatory events. It is plausible that inflammatory processes in one organ could directly lead to pathologies in another organ or tissue. Communication between distant parts of the body and their inflammatory status is also mediated by common signaling mechanisms mediated via cells and soluble mediators. This review focuses on periodontal inflammation, its systemic associations and advances in therapeutic approaches based on mediators acting through orchestration of natural pathways to resolution of inflammation. We also discuss a new treatment concept in which natural pathways of resolution of periodontal inflammation can be used to limit systemic inflammation and promote healing and regeneration.

Abstract
The last 25 years have brought unprecedented advances to our understanding of periodontal disease. Consider that in 1970 periodontitis was believed to effect most individuals over the age of 35 years, to progress steadily in an individual once initiated until teeth were lost, to be the primary cause of tooth loss in adults, to be caused by the bacterial mass accumulating on the tooth surface and subgingivally, and to involve the host in some fashion or another. In the 25 years since then, impressive research advances in the epidemiology of periodontal disease, the specific bacterial etiology of periodontal disease and the immunoinflammatory mediators of periodontal tissue destruction have greatly altered our view of periodontal disease. Thus, given these research advances in the understanding of periodontitis, what may the future hold for improved diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease? Impressive research into new ways to diagnose the periodontal diseases is well underway. Investigators are seeking new ways to diagnose an individual's degree of risk for periodontal disease initiation, susceptibility to disease progression, level of disease "activity" and the likely response to treatment and recurrence of active disease. New diagnostic tests should greatly advance our ability to more accurately and specifically diagnose periodontal disease. The future also looks promising for new treatment strategies to slow or arrest periodontal disease progression. The bacterial specificity of periodontal disease etiology revealed since 1970 has logically led to the use of antibiotics in periodontitis treatment. In the late 1980s the concept of locally delivering antibiotics to the periodontal pocket was introduced, and subsequent clinical trials have indicated that it is possible to reduce pocket depth and inflammation with tetracycline locally delivered to the periodontal pocket. Likely, we have barely scratched the surface in studying the efficacy of locally delivery antimicrobial agents to alter the progression of periodontal disease. As new agents are developed and better delivery systems to the periodontal pocket are developed, the future should see a variety of antimicrobial agents available which can slow periodontal disease progression. The future also holds promise for slowing periodontal disease progression by blocking inflammatory pathways important in periodontal tissue destruction. Clinical trials of flubiprofen, naproxen and ketoprofen indicate that it is possible to slow periodontal disease progression with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs which inhibit one destructive pathway. In addition, data from animal models indicate that chemically modified tetracycline as an inhibitor of collagenase can slow disease progression in animals. Again, we have likely only just begun to explore the wide range of molecular mediators of tissue destruction which may be targeted for blocking and thereby slow or arrest periodontal disease progression. Last, research into regenerating periodontal structures lost as a result of disease has had a noteworthy record of progress in the past 25 years. Techniques that utilize bone grafts, root treatments, tissue guiding membranes or polypeptide growth factors have ably indicated that it is possible to regenerate new attachment structures in humans. As investigators continue to unravel the mysteries of the embryonic development of the periodontium, the ability to predictably regenerate lost periodontal attachment structures holds great promise for the future.

Abstract
A major purpose of this study was to examine inhibitory effect of the catechin derivatives from Japanese green tea Camellia sinensis on collagenase activity. The crude tea catechins, which contain (+)-catechin (C), (-)-epicatechin (EC), (+)-gallocatechin (GC), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC), (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECg), and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), were tested for their ability to inhibit the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell derived collagenase activities. Among the tea catechins tested, ECg and EGCg showed the most potent inhibitory effect on collagenase activity when an optimal concentration of tea catechins (100 micrograms/ml) was added to reaction mixture containing collagenase and collagen. Preincubation of collagenase with tea catechins reduced the collagenase activity as well. In contrast to ECg and EGCg, the other four tea catechins (C, EC, EGC, and GC) did not show any collagenase inhibitory effect. Our results suggest that the steric structure of 3-galloyl radical is important for the inhibition of collagenase activity. The collagenase activity in the gingival crevicular fluid from highly progressive adult periodontitis was completely inhibited by the addition of tea catechins. These results demonstrated that tea catechins containing galloyl radical possess the ability to inhibit both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell derived collagenase.

Abstract
In an in vivo model of osteoclastic bone resorption, we previously showed that osteocalcin-deficient bone particles (BPs), derived from warfarin-treated rats, were resorbed 50% as well as normal BPs and that they recruited fewer osteoclastic cells with decreased tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity. In order to determine the specificity of the resorption response, we evaluated the fate of implanted mixtures of normal and osteocalcin-deficient BPs. Normal and warfarin-treated donor rats were prelabeled in vivo with oxytetracycline to permit identification of BPs from either source. Normal, osteocalcin-deficient, and 50:50 mixtures of BPs (either labeled or unlabeled) were implanted into normal rats and recovered 12 days later for enzymatic (TRAP) and nondecalcified histomorphometric analyses. The incorporated oxytetracycline had no significant effect on resorption of bone particles. The recovered osteocalcin-deficient BPs were surrounded by fewer osteoclastic cells, were resorbed less, and contained less extractable TRAP activity than normal BPs. In mixed BP implants with normal and osteocalcin-deficient BPs, each type of bone particle elicited the same tissue response as when implanted separately. Remarkably, the different particles evoked dissimilar osteoclastic responses and were resorbed to different extents, even when adjacent within the same implant. These data suggest that osteocalcin may act as a substrate signal for resorption and that osteocalcin in the normal BPs does not influence the cellular response to adjacent osteocalcin-deficient BPs.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to assess the ability of a scintillation camera method to detect areas of active bone loss due to periodontitis. Technetium 99m methylene diphosphonate was used as the bone-seeking radiopharmaceutical. Bone-seeking radiopharmaceutical uptake (BSRU) was imaged and quantified in alveolar bone regions of interest with a scintillation camera and a computer. Analysis of the sequential radiographs over six months constituted the basis for determination of sites of active disease. The study was composed of two parts. First, 18 subjects, nine with adult periodontitis and nine controls, were enrolled in a cross-sectional study to determine whether the quantitative scintillation amera methodology detected differences in BSRU in periodontitis vs. periodontally healthy patients. Second, the nine patients with periodontitis were studied longitudinally in order to determine whether the BSRU examination was indicative of bone loss subsequently measured radiographically. In the cross-sectional study, the mean uptake ratio for the periodontitis group was significantly higher than that for the control group (1.63 +/- 0.06 and 1.42 +/- 0.04, respectively, p less than 0.01, t test). From the longitudinal study, the mean patient scintillation image uptake ratios were highly correlated with the mean bone loss determined from serial radiographs (p less than 0.01). The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the quantitative gamma camera method for detecting site(s) of active bone loss within the region of interest were assessed relative to the longitudinal radiographic data. The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were 85%, 90%, and 79%, respectively. Alveolar bone scintigraphy with a gamma camera and computer may provide a simple and valid technique for the immediate indication of areas of periodontal disease activity.

Abstract
Clinical measurement of periodontitis has historically focused on the concept of periodontitis as a slow, continuous process which has emphasized measurements of the static condition of periodontal pockets. Observations based on longitudinal measurement of attachment loss in untreated subjects have indicated that periodontal destruction occurs in discrete episodes of short duration. Based on these studies, it has been suggested that chronic periodontal disease proceeds through a series of random episodic attacks. Periodontal sites are considered as existing in 2 states, either disease active or inactive. During periods of disease activity, sites increase in their probable depth, whereas during the inactive state, no significant change in probing depth can be detected. The detection of changes at periodontal sites from time series data has been addressed by 3 analytical procedures: regression, running medians, and tolerance. The standard deviation of differences between replicate measurements of 48,064 sites for 56 subjects was 0.7727 mm. From this estimate, the computed standard deviation for a single measurement was 0.5464 mm and for the mean of 2 measurements was 0.386 mm. The expected error rates of each method have been estimated by computer simulation. The type-I error for the regression (p = 0.028), running median (p = 0.000025), and tolerance (p = 0.00012) methods were all sufficiently low to consider it unlikely that reported observations could be accounted for by methodologic error. The estimated type-II error for the regression (p = 0.446), running median (p = 0.152), and tolerance (p = 0.068) methods suggests that a substantial fraction of disease active sites was not detected by these methods. Several data set properties have been investigated. Intraclass correlation coefficients were computed from attachment level changes on 8,130 sites in 105 patients. By this analysis, 7% of the variation was associated with the subject and 93.3% with the individual sites, indicating that attachment level changes at periodontal sites exhibit a high degree of statistical independence. Autocorrelation within sequential attachment level measurements was computed and found low (0.081 in 22 subjects and 0.099 in 45 subjects), indicating that computed variance is not systematically underestimated due to autocorrelation within the data set. Clinical measurements which have failed to exhibit association with episodic attachment loss include gingival redness, bleeding on probing, suppuration, supragingival plaque, and darkfield microscopic bacterial counts.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Active tissue destruction in experimental periodontitis has been positively correlated with subgingival spirochetes and total number of organisms. The present study was designed to inhibit spirochete populations and evaluate the effect upon periodontal destruction. Metronidazole was administered orally to four squirrel monkeys (100 mg/kg/bwt) for 17 days. After 3 days, marginal periodontitis was induced around bicuspids and molars by tying silk ligatures at the gingival margins. Subgingival plaque samples were taken baseline and 14 days after ligature placement. Dark-field microscopy quantitated motile forms, spirochetes, straight and curved rods, filament, cocci and fusiforms. Periodontal destruction was evaluated at 2 weeks by histometric analysis of connective tissue attachment, crestal alveolar bone and infiltrated connective tissue. Bacterial and histometric comparisons were made with experimental periodontitis data from four animals (control) which had not received metronidazole. Subgingival plaque prior to periodontitis induction was dominated by cocci, but fusiforms and straight rods were also present. Straight rods formed a greater proportion of the plaque which developed in metronidazole-receiving animals. The absence of spirochetes and motile rods contrasted with the control group where spirochetes were the predominant type. The total number of bacteria was also larger in the control animals. Histometric analysis showed that areas of infiltrated supracrestal connective tissue were similar in both groups. Loss of connective tissue attachment and alveolar bone was significantly less in experimental animals, and the latter values did not differ significantly from baseline dimensions. The results indicated that the subgingival bacterial populations which developed during metronidazole administration did not result in an experimental periodontitis.

Abstract
The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, flurbiprofen, a potent cyclooxygenase inhibitor, significantly decreases the resorption of alveolar bone in naturally occurring chronic destructive periodontal disease in beagles. This observation indicates that arachidonic acid metabolites are important in the alveolar bone loss of periodontitis and suggests a use for flurbiprofen in the management of bone resorption disease.

Abstract
The effect of systemic tetracycline on gingival inflammation and alveolar bone resorption was studied in beagle dogs. Seventeen dogs were divided into three groups receiving either no treatment, 250 mg tetracycline HCl, or 500 mg tetracycline HCl daily. The severity of gingival inflammation and activity of alveolar bone resorption during a 6-month pretreatment period was compared to a 24-month treatment period for each individual tooth studied. In the first 12 months of treatment there was a significant decrease in the severity of gingival inflammation and the activity of alveolar bone loss in the tetracycline treated dogs. By 24 months of treatment increased gingival inflammation and rate of bone loss was evident in the treated dogs. In the untreated control dogs there was a statistically significant association between the severity of gingival inflammation and activity of alveolar bone resorption about the teeth studied. In the tetracycline treated dogs, no such association existed.
