This Consensus Workshop dealt with diagnostic methodologies in the context of surveillance, screening, assessment stage and grade, prognosis, monitoring prediction periodontal status. Several elements provided impetus for workshop, including limited quality available research on tests, rapid development new technologies, implementation 2018 classification declarations World Health Organisation diagnosis oral health. To update evaluate evidence methods, considering recent advances knowledge...
In this study, we investigate the prevalence of selected periodontal pathogens on oral mucous membranes before and after full-mouth tooth extractions in patients with severe periodontitis. 8 were microbiologically examined 2 x extraction; several locations membranes, saliva, supra- subgingival plaque, sampled. Besides their presence detected extraction Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (mean 0.03%), Porphyromonas gingivalis 6 9%), Prevotella intermedia 2%) other species 7%) all patients....
Abstract Background: The papillary structure of the dorsum tongue forms a unique ecological site that provides large surface area favoring accumulation oral debris and microorganisms. These micro‐organisms may be influence on flora entire cavity. normal appearance is either pinkish or has thin white coating. For present study scoring method was developed to describe in relation extent color thickness Aim: purpose this investigate discoloration coating healthy/gingivitis subjects...
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy Braun Plak Control® for removal supragingival plaque improving gingival health in a long‐term clinical trial, compare it regular manual toothbrush. Assessed were accumulation, amount inflammation, bleeding on probing, calculus. In total, 77 young individuals selected basis having moderate gingivitis'. They monitored over 8 months divided among 2 groups; control group that used toothbrush test Control. assessments...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence microbiota on oral mucosal surfaces and in peri-implant pocket edentulous subjects with a past history periodontitis. Twenty wearing dental implants for at least one year periodontitis participated study. Clinical parameters were assessed (plaque, redness, swelling, probing depth [PIPD], bleeding probing) microbiological samples taken (oral surfaces, saliva, plaque, pocket). Based clinical results, group as whole showed healthy...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect conventional periodontal treatment on prevalence Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Prevotella intermedia oral mucous membranes in patients with periodontitis. Fifteen were selected moderate severe periodontitis (mean age: 39.8 years, range: 26 58). From each patient 4 deepest sites bleeding probing for clinical microbiological evaluation. At baseline, 6 weeks after hygiene instruction extensive scaling root...
Abstract The purpose of the present study was to test effectiveness a new type BRAUN electric toothbrush (D5) in comparison with traditional (D3) and manual (M). For this study, 60 dental students were selected who had no previous experience use an toothbrush. consisted 3 experiments. Prior each experiment, all asked abstain from oral hygiene procedures for at least 24 h. In Exp I , efficacy toothbrushing studied when one investigators brushed teeth students. No toothpaste used first part...
Abstract. This survey investigated the association between efficacy of plaque removal and toothbrushing forces during a normal brushing regime. The 94 subjects participating in this study were requested not to brush 24 h prior experiment. Panellists brushed for 1 min with manual toothbrush. Before after brushing, was assessed using Turesky modification Quigley & Hein index. A second 1‐min exercise carried out assess force. mean reduction 39%, vestibular surfaces being cleaned most...
Abstract. The aims of the present study were: (1) to establish incidence gingival abrasion as a result toothbrushing. using manual and electric toothbrush: (2) influence filament end‐rounding on efficacy toothbrushing: (3) assess whether speed brush has feedback‐effect brushing force used correlate with force. 2 experiments were earned out. In first experiment, 50 subjects brushed for 3 weeks every other day either (Butler 411) or an toothbrush (Braun/Oral‐B Ultra Plaque Remover‐D9). All...
The prevalence of selected putative periodontal pathogens colonizing oral mucous membranes was investigated in 26 denture-wearing subjects with a history periodontitis. microbiota the cavity these examined on average 9.3 years after extraction (range: 1-40 years). Samples were taken from several locations membranes, saliva and plaque attached to upper lower denture. Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans not detected any edentulous subjects. Porphyromonas gingivalis 2 (proportion cultivable...
The present study was designed to evaluate if different periods of supervised oral hygiene prior the experimental gingivitis trial have an effect on amount inflammation which develops in 'toothshield' model. Two groups were compared. One group (Group A) over a 5-month period before gingivitis. Six months later Group A participated second trial, this time receiving only 1-month pretrial. B) served as control pre-trial start phase. During all subjects undertook regime vigorous included...
The purpose of the present study was to examine composition oral microbiota in subjects who had previously demonstrated develop either a weak or strong response experimental gingivitis. For this study, were selected from pool 25 individuals participated twice an gingivitis trial. Out these panellists, 6 developed 2X gingival inflammatory and 7 response. Approximately 9 months after 2nd trial, we evaluated clinical condition prevalence panel micro-organisms subjects. clinically examined for...
Abstract Objectives: The study was designed to test the efficacy in plaque removal of three toothbrushes: two manual brushes, Butler GUM 311 ® and Dr Best X‐Active , one electric toothbrush Braun Oral‐B 3D Plaque Remover (3D) . Method: a split‐mouth, single‐blind, randomized clinical consisting identical experiments testing combinations toothbrushes (experiment 1: versus Butler; experiment 2: Best; 3: Best), which teeth panellists were brushed by dental hygienist. In fourth experiment, their...
Abstract Aim: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate in a group periodontal maintenance patients, effect using dentifrice and mouthrinse containing amine fluoride (AmF) stannous (SnF 2 ) as compared with both sodium (NaF) regard their root caries experience. Material: In total, 80 patients who had been treated for moderate‐to‐severe periodontitis agreed participate this study. Subjects received supportive therapy at regular intervals 3–4 months least period 1 year. were randomly...
Abstract Aim: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate beneficial effect using a dentifrice and mouthrinse containing amine fluoride (AmF) stannous (SnF 2 ) in group periodontal maintenance patients. Efficacy parameters were plaque, gingival inflammation, pocket depth attachment loss. An additional parameter development stain. Material Methods: In total, 80 patients who had been treated for moderate‐to‐severe periodontitis agreed participate this study. Subjects received supportive...
Purpose: To investigate the effect of vitamin C supplementation with or without flavonoids on periodontal conditions, and microbial systemic variables before after non-surgical treatment (NSPT). Materials Methods: A case series derived from a randomized controlled trial was conducted to explore effects daily supplementation, flavonoids, conditions. The study population recruited patients periodontitis who had been referred Department Periodontology at Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam...
Abstract Aim: To investigate the intra‐oral spread of an erythrosine mouthwash in relation to rinsing period.
