prednisone and Dental Plaque

prednisone has been researched along with Dental Plaque in 6 studies

Prednisone: A synthetic anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid derived from CORTISONE. It is biologically inert and converted to PREDNISOLONE in the liver.
prednisone : A synthetic glucocorticoid drug that is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant, and affects virtually all of the immune system. Prednisone is a prodrug that is converted by the liver into prednisolone (a beta-hydroxy group instead of the oxo group at position 11), which is the active drug and also a steroid.

Dental Plaque: A film that attaches to teeth, often causing DENTAL CARIES and GINGIVITIS. It is composed of MUCINS, secreted from salivary glands, and microorganisms.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In conclusion, profound marginal periodontal bone loss does not seem to be a prominent side-effect of long-term glucocorticosteroid treatment, although the degree of induced osteopenia in the mandible corresponds to that in other cortical bones of the skeleton."1.28Steroid-induced mandibular bone loss in relation to marginal periodontal changes. ( Klausen, B; Olgaard, K; von Wowern, N, 1992)
