Abstract Background A new classification for Periodontal and Peri-implant Diseases Conditions was introduced in the 2017 World Workshop. In past 1999 Armitage Classification commonly used practice. This study aimed to assess ease practicability of retroactively diagnosing a subset patients formerly diagnosed using AAP/CDC with AAP/EFP disease classification. Methods random 10% all referred over 7-year period (2011–2018) Post-Doctoral Periodontics Clinic at Columbia University College Dental...

A practical method to identify people who are most affected by periodontitis in their age group is currently unavailable. We focused on individuals with mean clinical attachment loss (CAL) above the 80th percentile within each of 10 groups (5-y intervals between 30 and 74 y as well ≥75 y). developed predictive models using combined data from 2 cohorts (2009 2010 2011 2012) NHANES (National Health Nutrition Examination Survey; development cohort [DC], n = 6,757), we carried out external...
Alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) is indicated to attenuate anatomic and physiologic changes following tooth extraction. A properly contoured ovate pontic placed immediately into an extraction socket may be adequate maintain alveolar architecture for improved esthetic results. This prospective clinical study evaluated the ability of pontics in conjunction with ARP postextraction tissue dimensional zone contour. Ten patients (11 sites) completed study. All subjects received a combination...
