Although the evidence is clear on long-term effects of removable partial dentures (RPDs) periodontal health abutment and non-abutment teeth, little work has been done outcomes remaining teeth previously treated with therapy. The aim this study was to evaluate effect denture loading exposed treatment additional photo-disinfection. Twelve partially edentulous patients classified as having mandibu...

In periodontology, lasers have been suggested for the nonsurgical treatment of chronic periodontitis. Many wavelengths were tested, but unfortunately, most parts not efficient. An Nd:YAG laser was applied in a specific protocol named laser-assisted new attachment procedure (LANAP). LANAP seems to facilitate refurbishment tissues from supporting structures periodontium, wherein unhealthy surface...

Peri-implant infections are the most common complications related to placement of dental implants. There many microbial similarities between peri-implantitis and periodontitis but due current laboratory techniques there just as differences. This review was performed assess changes in oral microbiota at sites with peri-implant disease, according state art. The presents a lower quality than perio...

CE Incisor malocclusion is common in rabbits. If this condition occurs as an isolated entity at an early age, it probably has a genetic origin. Incisor malocclusion in older animals is usually secondary to, or occurs concomitantly with, premolar–molar malocclusion. Therefore, patients with incisor malocclusion should always receive a comprehensive oral examination. Incisor–premolar–molar malocc...

PURPOSE The aim of the present exploratory study was to evaluate extraction socket healing at sites with a history of periodontal and endodontic pathology. METHODS The mandibular 4th premolar teeth in 5 adult beagle dogs served as experimental units. Periodontal and endodontic lesions were induced in 1 premolar site in each animal using wire ligatures and pulpal exposure over 3 months (diseas...

PURPOSE The present study was conducted to evaluate the impact of scaling and root planing (SRP) on the C-reactive protein (CRP) levels of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum in chronic periodontitis patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM-CP) or without type 2 diabetes mellitus (NDM-CP). METHODS Forty-eight human participants were divided into two groups: an experimental (T2DM-CP)...

Objective: To evaluate the effects of Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy (NPT) on periodontal clinical parameters and Serum Inflammatory Factor (CRP, IL-6, TNF-α) levels of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and periodontitis. Methods: Fifty-three patients were randomly divided into Groups A and B, and another 30 patients with periodontitis but without systemic diseases were included as Gr...

Regenerative treatment of periodontal defects with an agent, or procedure, requires that each functional stage of reconstruction be grounded in a biologically directed process. With this paradigm, we contended the way of periodontal regeneration through the application of current knowledge in the fields of molecular and cell biology, developmental biology and tissue engineering principles as ap...

INTRODUCTION Endodontic-periodontal combined lesion is a clinical dilemma because making a differential diagnosis and deciding a prognosis are difficult. METHODS Twenty-six cases from 14 articles involving the successful management of endodontic-periodontal lesions with concurrent regenerative procedures were reviewed. This article also presents successful treatment of an endodontic-periodont...

Today's knowledge and studies show a firm correlation between osteoporosis and periodontitis, particularly in postmenopausal women. This review study deals with epidemiological and etiopathogenetic association between chronic periodontitis and an osteoporosis. A special emphasis is put on explanation of possible relations between a premature tooth loss and decrease of length and density of jaw ...
