Background: Chronic periodontitis is a condition of inflammation in periodontal tissue. This can be treated by reducing plaque and calculus using full mouth debridement with gingival curettage.
 Objective: To reduce deep pockets before planning flap surgery.
 Case Report: A 49-year-old woman presented complaint bleeding gums mobility upper anterior teeth. Probing depths patient’s teet...

Biofilm and calculus removal are very important components of periodontal therapy, and a variety of instruments may be used for debridement purposes. In recent years, the application range of sonic and ultra sonic scalers in such debridement procedures has been extended to the subgingival area as slim instrument tips allowing good access to the root surfaces have been developed. Treatment using...

PURPOSE The study was aimed at investigating changes in periodontal parameters and superoxide dismutase activity triggered by root surface debridement with and without micronutrient supplementation in postmenopausal women. METHODS Forty-three postmenopausal chronic periodontitis patients were divided into two groups: group 1 (n=22) were provided periodontal treatment in the form of scaling an...

The inflammatory components of plaque induced gingivitis and chronic periodontitis can be managed effectively for the majority of patients with a plaque control program and nonsurgical and/or surgical root debridement coupled with continued periodontal maintenance procedures. Some patients may need additional therapeutic procedures. All of the therapeutic modalities reviewed in this position pa...

An Endo perio lesion has been one of the most common problems associated with the tooth. The simultaneous involvement of pulpal problems and inflammatory periodontal disease can complicate diagnosis and treatment planning. The present case report shows the importance of periodontal therapy that includes open debridement of the defect followed by placement of alloplastic bone graft (G-bone) in f...

BACKGROUND Plasminogen deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disease, which is associated with aggressive periodontitis and gingival enlargement. Previously described treatments of plasminogen deficiency associated periodontitis have shown limited success. This is the first case report indicating a successful therapy approach consisting of a non-surgical supra- and subgingival debridement in...

Aim: The present study proposes an assessment of the clinical effects on periodontal level generated by the adjunctive periodontal therapy with sub-antimicrobial doses of doxycycline in patients with chronic periodontitis and osteoporosis. Materials and Methods: The study group comprised 26 patients with chronic periodontitis and osteoporosis, divided in the study group (classical periodontal d...

Introduction: Clinicians tend to encounter unfavorable situations in the treatment of teeth with severe attachment loss. Periodontal regeneration has been a successful therapeutic approach treatments that require long-term prognosis improvement. This case shows benefits combined regenerative periodontal therapy patient molar severely compromised by furcation, intrabony defects and loss apex. Ca...

Radicular groove are one among the morphologic defects of the teeth, which have been reported as predisposing factors for periodontal disease. Palatogingival grooves may be of varied length and depth and once exposed to oral environment, bacterial plaque and calcified deposits may lodge in it. It acts as a plaque retentive area, and also impairs attachment of periodontal fibers, thus causing pe...
