T he purpose of this study was to evaluate the recolonization patterns subgingival microflora adult periodontitis patients after a single session scaling and root planing. In each eight patients, three clinically diseased sites were investigated microbiologically by darkfield microscopy cultural analysis. After initial clinical microbiological parameters determined, subject received planing but no oral hygiene instructions. Clinical indices measured microbial reassessed 7, 21, 60 days...
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the clinical, microbial, inflammatory effects a diode laser as an adjunct scaling root planing (SRP) versus SRP alone for treatment generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP). Methods: Using split-mouth design, 31 patients with GAgP were enrolled in study. maxillary right left quadrants randomly assigned SRP+diode or alone. Patients examined on regular basis microbiological, mediator changes over 1-year period. Clinical...
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the treatment of peri‐implant mucositis (PM) using a nonsurgical submarginal instrumentation (NSPI) with or without chlorhexidine (CHX) solutions. Methods Fifty‐six patients (28 per group) were randomly assigned to test (NSPI + 0.12% mouthwash and subgingival CHX irrigation plus tongue brushing 1% gel) control group placebo gel). At baseline, 1, 3, 6 months, bleeding on probing (BOP), pocket depth (PPD), modified gingival index (mGI), plaque (mPlI), full‐mouth...
Surface properties may affect the clinical outcome of titanium dental implants. The aim present study was to investigate effects 3 different surfaces-smooth (S), sandblasted (SB), and plasma-sprayed (TPS)-on proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis human osteoblast-like cells, SaOS-2. Cell proliferation significantly (p < 0.05) higher on S surface, synthesis extracellular matrix proteins more abundant TPS SB than surfaces. Analysis integrin receptors showed a expression alpha2, alpha5,...
The specialty of periodontology has changed dramatically in recent years. With the long-standing goal retaining teeth a functional and esthetical state, developed high level expertise regeneration bone connective tissues that support teeth. However, periodontists have also joined maxillofacial surgeons as primary providers implant surgery.The tremendous innovations induced by marketplace resulted predictable periodontal treatment outcomes for most patients implants led to different which...
Bisphosphonates (BPs) are a class of synthetic drugs commonly used to treat bone metastasis and various diseases that cause osseous fragility (such as osteoporosis). Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis the jaw (BRONJ) is common complication in patients who received BPs, especially intravenously. Recently, (ONJ) caused by chemotherapeutic not belonging BPs drug has been reported. For this reason, it proposed recently rename BRONJ antiresorptive agents related (ARONJ), include wider spectrum...
Abstract Objective The objective of the study was to compare resolution inflammation naturally occurring peri‐implant mucositis (PM) at tissue‐level (TL) and bone‐level (BL) implants after non‐surgical mechanical debridement. Materials Methods Fifty‐four patients with 74 Implants PM were allocated in two groups (39 TL 35 BL implants) treated by means subgingival debridement using a sonic scaler plastic tip without adjunctive measures. At baseline 1, 3, 6 months, full‐mouth plaque score...
Background: The purpose of this longitudinal study was to determine the clinical status and composition subgingival microbiota dental implants natural teeth in patients with a history periodontitis. Methods: Twenty‐five partially edentulous treated for moderate advanced adult periodontitis having total 42 participated 3‐year study. assessment done 1, 2, 3 years after prosthetic loading (T1, T2, T3, respectively). Clinical parameters evaluated included probing depth (PD), attachment level...
T he aim of this study was to examine the subgingival microflora associated with failing implants, and determine their susceptibility commonly used antibiotics in periodontal therapy dental practice. Thirteen partially edentulous patients 19 implants were selected. Clinical examination included probing depth, attachment level, gingival index, plaque radiographic analyses. Two samples taken from each implant analyzed for microbial composition. Fusobacterium nucleatum, Porphyromonas gingivalis...
Abstract Background The mechanical disruption and removal of the subgingival biofilm represent most important step in treatment periodontitis. However, deep periodontal pockets, is difficult frequently incomplete. Preliminary findings indicate that use amino acid buffered sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) gel may chemically destroy bacterial facilitate its removal. Objectives To clinically evaluate efficacy minimally invasive nonsurgical therapy (MINST) pockets with or without local application an...
