Regeneration processes in the periodontium occur by the interaction of different cell populations. It is known that these cells are also capable of forming new periodontal tissue after culture in vitro. The present study investigated whether replanted cultured cells from the periodontium could contribute to attachment formation. Primary cell cultures from alveolar bone and periodontal ligament ...

A bone autograft obtained from the iliac crest was implanted into the periodontal region of the lower first molar (36) in a patient suffering from juvenile periodontitis. In the present paper we describe the results of a biopsy obtained 5 years after the graft implantation. The radiological, histological and ultrastructural images obtained suggested that neoformation of bone, cementum-like tiss...

Melatonin is an indoleamine derivative synthesised mainly in the pineal gland. Its association with periodontal disease and treatment exogenous supplementation of via oral route, topical application as local drug delivery has been documented evidences literature.

Localized juvenile periodontitis is a disease of the adolescent periodontium characterized by rapid alveolar destruction around molar and incisor teeth of the permanent dentition. Early treatment methods were variable and often empirical due to lack of knowledge concerning etiology. Elucidation of factors associated with the disease has led to different therapeutic approaches. A comprehensive r...

Osteomyelitis of the jaws following dental treatment is a rare condition which usually occurs in immuno-compromised patients both locally and generally. A case is presented with the alveolar bone necrosis resulting from leakage of an arsenical devitalizing paste into the periodontium. The treatment procedures and the outcomes are discussed in this article.
