BACKGROUND Acute necrotising fasciitis is a life-threatening condition, which requires urgent surgical intervention. Surgical debridement is invariably associated with large areas of tissue loss. CASE PRESENTATION We present a 58-year old woman with a past history of cervical carcinoma who presented with necrotising fasciitis of the perineum and upper thighs with associated pubic bone osteomy...

Introduction: Most periodontal treatments aim to reduce probing depths and maintaining or improving attachment. One of these techniques for treatment of intrabony defects is guided tissue regeneration (GTR). The aim of this study was to compare one-wall intrabony defects treatment with GTR and flap debridement alone. Methods: Eight patients aged 32-43 years participated in this randomized contr...

BACKGROUND Chronic gingivitis is the most prevalent in all dentate animals. Regular methods for controlling it have been found to be ineffective, which have paved the way for the use of herbal products as an adjunctive to mechanical therapy as they are free to untoward effects and hence can be used for a long period of time. OBJECTIVE The antigingivitis effect of a gel containing pomegranate ...

PURPOSE In early prosthetic joint infection after hip arthroplasty, debridement with prosthesis retention may be performed for implant salvage, but the reported success rates are highly variable. Hence we reviewed the outcome of radical debridement and retention of prosthesis using established diagnostic criteria and surgical procedures in relation to significant variables including clinical ch...

BACKGROUND Poststernotomy mediastinitis is a rare, but life-threatening complication, thus early diagnosis and proper management is essential for poststernotomy mediastinitis. The main treatment for mediastinitis is aggressive debridement. Several options exist for reconstruction of defects after debridement. The efficacy of immediate debridement and reconstruction with a pectoralis major muscl...

Aim: To compare the clinical benefit of full-mouth ultrasonic debridement against partial-mouth ultrasonic debridement in patients with chronic periodontitis up to 3 months after therapy. Materials & Methods: Sixty patients with probing pocket depth ≥ 5 mm were randomly assigned to evaluate the clinical efficacy of full-mouth ultrasonic debridement against partial-mouth ultrasonic debridement i...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this systematic review was to determine the efficacy of machine-driven compared with manual subgingival debridement in the treatment of periodontitis. BACKGROUND Mechanical debridement of the periodontal pocket plays a pivotal role in the treatment of periodontitis. METHODS A literature search for controlled clinical trials with at least 6 months' follow-up compari...
