In 2016, the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) embarked on a best evidence consensus (BEC) model scientific inquiry to address questions clinical importance in treatment periodontal and peri-implant diseases conditions. For each focused question addressed below, there is critical mass evidence. However, by itself, that is, judgment an expert panel convened AAP, insufficient support broad conclusions and/or practice guidelines. Members assembled for this BEC have extensive knowledge...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate differences in marginal bone level (MBL) and survival rates implants (ISR) placed lateral-window sinus floor elevation (LSFE) sites compared other sites. Patient with a history LSFE following implant placement were identified. Clinical radiographic data was collected by 2 calibrated examiners divided into three cohorts for the analysis, including (1) LSFE-grafted sinus, (2) maxilla at than grafted (3) mandible. ISR MBL recorded calculated. potential...
Abstract Background The aim of this study is to evaluate the immune regulation and tissue remodeling responses during experimental gingivitis (EG) naturally occurring (NG) provide a comprehensive analysis host responses. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) was obtained from 2 human studies conducted in university settings. Methods EG enrolling 26 volunteers provided controls for baseline (Day 0) healthy disease‐free participants, while Day 21 (the end induction same group) used represent EG....
The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the clinical radiographic outcomes single implants with a platform-switched rough collar (PSRC) platform-matched smooth (PMSC).Twenty-six patients missing tooth in anterior maxilla (through premolars) were randomly assigned PSRC or PMSC group. All placed flapless approach restored an early loading protocol. Clinical measurements performed at surgery, loading, 3, 6, 12 months after loading. In addition, evaluations carried out using...
Lateral-window sinus floor elevation (LSFE) is a reliable procedure to reconstruct the posterior maxilla for implant therapy. This retrospective study aimed investigate risk factors associated with Schneiderian membrane perforation (SMP) occurrence during LSFE and longitudinal regenerative outcomes following up 9 years.Patients who had between 2010 2019 were included. All demographic surgical-related data retrieved from existing electronic health records. Radiographs used evaluate vertical...
Background: Vertical bone augmentation (VBA) remains unpredictable and challenging for most clinicians. This study aims to compare hard tissue outcomes of VBA, with without recombinant human morphogenetic protein (rhBMP)‐2, under space‐making titanium mesh in a canine model. Methods: Eleven male beagle dogs were used the study. Experimental ridge defects created form atrophic ridges. VBA was performed via guided regeneration using allografts. In experimental hemimandibles, rhBMP‐2/absorbable...
Focused Clinical Question: How are bone replacement grafts for various periodontal and implant indications properly selected? Summary: The purpose of this paper is to review the properties available materials provide guidelines how choose certain graft different clinical (e.g., defects, peri‐implant socket augmentation, ridge sinus augmentation). Conclusion: Full understanding material meticulous case selection may help maximize benefit in tooth‐ implant‐related regeneration.
The interdisciplinary approach has been a trend for comprehensive dental treatment. Within modern dentistry, periodontics and prosthodontics share an intimate inseparable relationship in multiple aspects, including treatment plan, procedures execution, outcome achievement maintenance. By controlling inflammation preparing sites proper prosthetic prostheses, periodontists no doubt can provide solid foundation successful outcomes. On the other hand, prosthodontists could construct
Focused Clinical Question With the 2018 AAP/EFP disease classification with staging and grading systems, does risk assessment for different ethnic group result in a focus clinical needs? This comparative analysis aimed to assess two previously reported cohort studies African‐American (Af‐A) Asian‐American (As‐A) as these populations attachment loss (CAL) gingival phenotype. Summary In comparison of As‐A Af‐A cohorts, had higher frequency thin tissue phenotype, less width keratinized gingiva...
/purpose: Bacterial infection was the major etiology for pulpal/root canal infection. This study aimed to investigate activation of toll-like receptor-3 (TLR) on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) PGF2α production human dental pulp cells (HDPCs) associated signaling. HDPCs were exposed different concentrations Poly (I:C) (a TLR3 activator). Cell viability determined by 3- (4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay alkaline phosphatase...
Gingival recession (GR) is an unhealthy root exposure that could result in sensitivity, abrasion, caries and higher chance of plaque collection. The prevalence GR on the facial surfaces but also affect lingual tooth surfaces. Despite etiology location GR, treatment warranted to improve long-term periodontal stability around affected teeth. This case report describes use partly deepithelialized free gingival graft (PE-FGG) augment post orthodontic treatment.The current evaluates results...
Introduction: Ridge deformities in implant sites are common challenges that clinicians face. Great benefits, including reduced treatment cost and time, can be achieved if simultaneous placement guided bone regeneration feasible. This case report presents an innovative approach using platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF) autografts to correct atrophic ridge conjunction with placement. Case Presentation: A 48‐year‐old male patient lost a molar tooth due severe chronic periodontitis. Because of active...
With the rising popularity of short dental implants, effects crown-to-implant (C/I) ratio on stress and strain distributions remain controversial. Previous research disagrees results interest level necessary technical detail. The present study aimed to evaluate distribution its functional implications in a single implant-supported crown with various C/I ratios placed maxillary molar region. A high-fidelity, nonlinear finite-element model was generated simulate multiple clinical scenarios by...
