Microanalysis of Root Cementum in Patients with Rapidly Progressive Periodontitis

چکیده
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the microanalysis of various elements, and assess the surface characteristics of progressive periodontally diseased roots in comparison to sound root surface. Materials and Methods: 50 teeth were collected, 25 teeth from patients have progressive periodontitis, and 25 teeth from healthy patients. Measurements of probing depth and clinical attachment loss were taken prior to extractions. After the horizontal fracturing process of root specimens, healthy and diseased cementum layers of roots were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X ray analysis (DXA). SEM and DXA. The collected data were statistically evaluated using t-test. The level of significance was set at p<0.001. Results: The results of this study showed a significant decrease in the calcium and phosphate contents along the entire cementum of root teeth of the progressive periodontitis and a significant increase in the magnesium and sulphur of the same root teeth in comparison to the control group. In addition, there were remarkable destructions of root cementum, crack lines and deep cavities reaching to the underlying dentin. Conclusion: In conclusion, the alteration in cementum structures and composition due to progressive periodontitis might have an important implication on periodontal therapy. The influence of alteration of cementum composition and structure on periodontal regeneration warrants further exploration.

One of the special kinds of periodontal disease is rapidly progressive periodontitis (RPP). This form of periodontitis is an aggressive disease, which results in bone destruction and loss of periodontal attachment 4 to 5 times more than adult periodontitis or slowly progressive periodontitis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the presence of Actinobacilius actinomyct-em comitans (Aa)...

In the late 1800s, what is now known as chronic periodontitis was clinically characterized as a slowly progressive destruction of the periodontium due to the accumulation of lime deposits on the teeth (21), or calcic inflammation of the peridental membrane secondary to deposits of salivary and ⁄ or serumal calculus (13). The calcified deposits were considered to be mechanical irritants that led...

UNLABELLED Periodontitis is a complex disease that has both oral and systemic consequences. The treatment of periodontitis may be both surgical and non-surgical but, in recent years, there has been a shift towards managing disease non-surgically in preference to surgery. Fundamental to all types of therapy is the patient's role in disease control, in the form of self-performed plaque control, a...

Introduction & Objective: Chronic periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the tooth supporting tissues by a specific group of microorganisms, leading to progressive destruction of the periodontal ligament. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of amoxicillin and metronidazole as an adjunct, after scaling and root planning in reducing pocket depth and clinical attachment loss in...
