The measurement process of attachment loss has been criticized in recent years. Problems with clinical interpretation, precision of the measurement, and statistical manipulation of the obtained data, are some of the problems associated with the present methodology. The purpose of the present study was to propose an alternative measurement process which addresses some of the existing problems by...

statement of the problem subgingival irrigation with an antimicrobial agent after scaling and root planing (srp) is assumed to be able to kill the bacteria left behind after mechanical debridement. 3% h2o2 is used in the treatment of periodontal disease and it has been shown effective in killing anaerobic pathogens. purpose the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effects of subgingiv...

Background: Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the supporting tissues teeth that leads to crucial changes in bony architecture. Early detection great practical significance so treatment may be administered before irreversible destruction could occur. Differences exist between different diagnostic methodology concerning relationship measurements and level lesion. The aim this study was ...

Although, a link between attachment and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms has been established, the mechanisms involved in this link have not yet been identified. Furthermore, attachment has been systematically measured by self-report questionnaires, which are prone to perceptual bias. The first goal of this study was to examine the link between PTSD symptoms and attachment security...

implant-supported craniofacial prostheses are made to restore defective areas in the face and cranium. this clinical report describes a technique for fabrication of an orbital prosthesis with three adjacent implants in the left lateral orbital rim of a 60-year-old woman. selection of appropriate attachment system (individual magnetic abutments versus bar-clip attachment) for implant-supported o...

PURPOSE The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of root planing on the reduction of probing pocket depth and the gain of clinical attachment depending on the pattern of bone resorption (vertical versus horizontal bone loss) in the interproximal aspect of premolar teeth that showed an initial probing pocket depth of 4-6 mm. METHODS In this study, we analyzed 68 teeth (15 fr...

The purpose of this study was to clinically evaluate experimental peri-implant breakdown. Hydroxyapatite-coated, titanium plasma-sprayed, and machined titanium-alloy surfaces were investigated. Eighty-four implants were placed in 14 beagle dogs. Pocket probing depths and clinical attachment level and mobility measurements were made. Dogs were sacrificed at 3 and 6 months. All experimental impla...

Purpose: Full-mouth disinfection enables to reduce the probability of cross contamination from untreated pockets to treated ones, for completing the entire SRP under local anesthesia with chlorhexidine as a mouth wash in two visits within 24 hours. This study aimed to compare the clinical effects of modified full-mouth disinfection (Fdis) after 6 months with those of conventional SRP (cSRP). Me...
