BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to examine the long-term effect of diode laser therapy on periodontal pockets with regard to its bactericidal abilities and the improvement of periodontal condition. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty patients were randomly subdivided into two groups (laser-group and control-group) and microbiologic samples were collected. There have bee...

AIM The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and subjective oral health indicators of type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM) with age and gender matched non-diabetic controls. A second aim was to identify clinical and subjective oral health indicators that discriminate between well-controlled and poorly controlled T2DM patients as well as between patients with long and short duration of t...

The purpose of this study was to compare differences in pocket reduction rate between different tooth types and sites after initial treatment. Forty-one adult periodontitis patients (mean age 40.8) whose O'Leary plaque records during initial treatment were maintained at a level of less than 10% (mean level 9.02 +/- 4.93%) were selected for this study. A total of 5983 surfaces were monitored by ...

Background: Chronic periodontitis is a condition of inflammation in periodontal tissue. This can be treated by reducing plaque and calculus using full mouth debridement with gingival curettage.
 Objective: To reduce deep pockets before planning flap surgery.
 Case Report: A 49-year-old woman presented complaint bleeding gums mobility upper anterior teeth. Probing depths patient’s teet...

this study aimed to compare the efficacy of mta and cem cement in class ii furcation defects in human mandibular molars.forty furcation defects were treated in 16 patients with chronic periodontitis. the clinical parameters of probing depth (pd), vertical and horizontal clinical attachment levels (vcal and hcal), open vertical and horizontal furcation depths (ovfd and ohfd), and gingival margin...

Aim To assess the efficacy of a commercially available adjunctive phototherapy protocol (“Perio-1”) in treatment periodontitis. Materials and Methods In an examiner-blind, randomized, controlled, split-mouth, multicentre study, 60 periodontitis patients received root surface debridement (RSD) sextants either alone (control sextants) or with (test sextants). Re-evaluation was performed at 6, 12 ...

The minimum depth d B,A of a subring B ⊆ A introduced in the work of Boltje, Danz and Külshammer 2011 is studied and compared with the tower depth of a Frobenius extension. We show that d B,A < ∞ if A is a finite-dimensional algebra and B has finite representation type. Some conditions in terms of depth and QF property are given that ensure that the modular function of a Hopf algebra restricts ...

OBJECTIVE Low quality of the bone and insufficient bone due to the size of the sinus and resorption of the alveolar ridge decrease the long-term survival of implants in the posterior maxilla compared to other regions of the jaws. Surgical procedures to increase bone volume make it possible to place implants longer than 8 mm. In this situation sinus elevation makes it possible to place implants....

This summary is organized into four parts. In the first section (News) I discuss the SuperKamiokande results on atmospheric neutrino oscillations, as well as recent results from cosmology. The second section (Refinements) focuses on electroweak tests, recent results in the flavor sector and in probing QCD, as well as searches for new particles. The third section (Mysteries) discusses issues ass...
