ON APPROACHES TO PERIODONTAL INFECTION CONTROL Cristiano Tomasi Department of Periodontology, Institute of Odontology, The Sahlgrenska Academy at Göteborg University, Box 450, SE 405 30 Göteborg, Sweden The purpose of the project was to gain understanding of clinical possibilities and applicability of non-surgical periodontal therapy. A clinical study was designed to compare a full-mouth ultras...

Background Tetracycline is one of the primary antibiotics prescribed for antimicrobial therapy in periodontics. It has a broad spectrum of activity being effective against most bacteria as well as spirochetes. Due to limitations of systemic drug therapy, recent formulations of the drug for local administration in the subgingival area have been introduced, including collagen fibers impregnated w...

Background:Periodontal health has great impact on overall oral conditions which reflects subjects health. With the radical change that happened to human diet in past several decades specially wide spread of finely processed over raw complex diet, it led increase problems among them is periodontal diseases. The therapy had been relaying hygiene where a lot researches implied adjunctive products ...

Scaling and root planing (SRP) has been used effectively in periodontal therapy for more than 100 years [1,2], but produces only modest, transient reductions in bacterial load [3,4]. Up to two-thirds of dental patients carry microbes incorporating antibiotic resistance genes, the expression of which can impair systemic or locally-administered adjunctive antibiotic therapy [5]. Photodisinfection...

Aim: To screen whether or not classical non-surgical periodontal therapy improved over the last four decades and how adjunctive local or systemic measures influenced its clinical outcome. Methodology: Starting from the year 1970, the entire annual sets of publications of every 5th year of the “Journal of Clinical Periodontology” and the “Journal of Periodontology” were hand searched for article...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Phenytoin (PHT) has been known to promote wound healing in some medical conditions owing to its proliferative as well as anti-inflammatory effects. Yet, its application in oral lesions was less investigated. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in periodontal indices following the topical use of phenytoin in chronic periodontitis. MATERIALS AND METH...

Causes of the progression periodontitis such as an imbalance between immune response by host release inflammatory mediators in oral pathogenic dysbiotic biofilm have been identified. New insights on specific cell signaling pathways that appear during attracted attention researchers study new personalised approaches for treatment periodontitis. The gold standard non-surgical therapy involves rem...

BACKGROUND The adjunctive use of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors with scaling and root planing (SRP) promotes new attachment in patients with periodontal disease. This pilot study was designed to examine aspects of the biological response brought about by the MMP inhibitor low dose doxycycline (LDD) combined with access flap surgery (AFS) on the modulation of periodontal wound repair ...

background and aims. along with conventional periodontal therapy, subginigval application of platelet-rich plasma (prp) may provide more effective improvements in clinical parameters due to the presence of multiple growth factors. the aim of this double-blind, split-mouth, randomized study was to evaluate the adjunctive use of prp with scaling and root planing (srp) in the treatment of chronic ...

objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of an herbal medicine, piascledine, on the treatment of chronic periodontitis. materials and methods: twenty-four patients with chronic periodontitis participated in this interventional case control investigation. after initial screening the subjects were divided into case and control groups. clinical measurements including ...
