A large number of home use products have been tested and used the management dentinal hypersensitivity. This 8 week clinical trial investigates temporal efficacy commercially available calcium sodium phosphosilicate containing toothpaste in comparison to potassium nitrate toothpaste.A total 20 subjects between ages 18 65 years were screened visual analogue score (VAS) sensitivity 5...

Abstract Background The measurement of the thickness gingival tissues has been done using different techniques. Trans‐gingival probing with a graduated probe, use vernier calipers, ultrasonography and cone‐beam computed tomography ( CBCT ), have all tried, but no one technique shown to be consistent better than others. present study was evaluate compare as measured digital caliper ultrasonography. Methods A total 30 systemically healthy, non‐smokers were included in study. measurements made...

Background: Various biomarkers have been evaluated for understanding the systemic inflammatory response (SIR) to periodontitis. Hematological markers reported be useful in a variety of diseases, including periodontal diseases. The role neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) periodontitis their possible SIR are not extensively documented. Therefore, this study assessed NLR PLR chronic (CP) patients before after treatment, which best knowledge has literature....

<b>Background:</b> Dentin hypersensitivity is a recurrent condition causing discomfort and sometimes pain to the patient, which also deters him from maintaining adequate oral hygiene. Home care office measures are used for treatment of this malady.<br> <b>Aim:</b> To evaluate compare efficacy 2 modalities dentinal hypersensitivity, iontophoresis with acidulated phosphate gel (APF) gel, dentin-bonding agent application.<br> <b>Materials Methods:</b> This split mouth randomized clinical study...

Chronic periodontal disease (CPD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) share common pathogenic pathways. This study aimed to estimate levels of serum interleukin (IL-10), an anti-inflammatory cytokine also associated with T2DM evaluate its association hyperglycemia.This investigation involved sixty participants divided into four groups comprising 15 each: Group 1 (healthy controls), (CPD patients), 3 (T2DM patients CPD) 4 patients). Plaque index, gingival probing pocket depths (PPD), clinical...

Background: Honey has a potent broad‐spectrum antibacterial action that may make it suitable for “anti‐infective” treatment of periodontal disease. The aims this study are as follows: 1) to evaluate the efficacy honey against oral bacteria and compare same with 0.2% chlorhexidine; 2) antiplaque in vivo chlorhexidine. Methods: was conducted two parts. In vitro part, inhibitory effects three test agents, chlorhexidine gluconate, mouthwash, saline, six at concentrations 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,...

Chronic periodontal disease (CPD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) share common pathogenic pathways involving the cytokine network resulting in increased susceptibility to both diseases, leading inflammatory destruction, insulin resistance, poor glycemic control. Periodontal treatment may improve The aim of this study was evaluate effect scaling root planing (SRP) T2DM patients with CPD on hyperglycemia levels serum interleukin-10 (IL-10).Forty-five subjects were divided into three groups...

Objectives: To compare the linear measurements of Radiovisiography (RVG) and Digital volume tomography (DVT) to direct surgical in detection periodontal infrabony defects.Study design: RVG DVT images were taken prior surgery for 28 defects.After defect debridement, bony made from cemento enamel junction (CEJ) base (CEJ-BD) alveolar crest (CEJ-AC) with a probe.These same on then compared values.Results: correlated strongly measurements, whereas less favorably (P=0.0109,P=0.0193...

Various antibacterial and antiplaque agents are used in chemical plaque control but none without their shortcomings. Chlorhexidine considered a gold standard, also has an array of side effects. To overcome these, numerous herbal extracts have been tried tested one among them is holy basil. The present study evaluated the efficacy basil vitro against some periodontopathogens its effect vivo.Thirty periodontally healthy volunteers were randomly divided into three groups refrained from all...

Dentine hypersensitivity (DH) is a common and harrowing dental condition. A novel BioMin-F technology that contains 5% fluorocalcium phosphosilicate bioactive glass has been introduced. It forms fluorapatite, which more stable towards acid erosion. There lack of literature with the utility this toothpaste in treating DH. Therefore, authors randomised clinical trial have aimed to compare evaluate efficacy an 8% arginine calcium carbonate placebo toothpaste. total 75 patients clinically...

The palatal masticatory mucosa is widely used as a donor material in periodontal plastic surgery. thickness of graft tissue an important factor for the survival. purpose this study was to determine by bone sounding technique. association age and gender with also examined.Twenty four healthy subjects had participated study. younger group 16-30 years consisted 12 7 females 5 males, older 31-54 subjects, males. A method using probe done assess at 15 measurement sites defined according gingival...

The aim of this randomized, split-mouth, single-masked study is to compare the efficacy a gel and microspheres as drug-delivery systems in treatment periodontal disease.Microspheres were prepared, release patterns formulations analyzed using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer, particle shapes studied under scanning electron microscope.
