background: the success of combined periodontal and orthodontic approach in the treatment of aggressive periodontitis patients with the pathologic extruded anterior teeth is a main concern and stability of the treatment results is an important factor to evaluate the treatment. the present study investigated the periodontal parameters at the end of the orthodontic treatment in patients with the ...

AIM To compare two treatment strategies regarding the effect of orthodontic treatment on periodontal status in patients with plaque-induced periodontitis. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This was a randomized clinical trial. Fifty periodontal patients were randomly assigned to the test or control groups according to periodontal treatment timing. All patients received supra- and subgingival debridement f...

Key Study Factor The criteria for selecting the trials were as follows: (1) Human subjects with periodontitis; (2) intervention group receiving periodontal treatment (PT) and a non-intervention group receiving no periodontal treatment (NPT); and (3) outcome variables must be clinical CVD parameters and/or markers of atherosclerosis and CVD risk, including markers of systemic inflammation and th...

A sequence of interrelated steps is inherent to effective periodontal treatment: early and accurate diagnosis, comprehensive treatment, and continued periodontal maintenance and monitoring. A primary goal of periodontal therapy is to reduce the burden of pathogenic bacteria and thereby reduce the potential for progressive inflammation and recurrence of disease. Emerging evidence of possible per...

AIM The aim of this cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA), performed from a societal perspective, was to compare costs and consequences of an individually tailored oral health educational programme (ITOHEP) based on cognitive behavioural strategies integrated in non-surgical periodontal treatment compared with a standard treatment programme (ST). MATERIAL AND METHODS A randomized (n = 113), evalu...

OBJECTIVE This study was aimed at determining periodontal treatment needs, as determined by the Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Need (CPITN), in a sample of adults from the Mixteca region of the State of Puebla, in Mexico. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, single-centre study. Previous informed consent was obtained; 60.0 % of the sample were women whose m...

Pulpal and periodontal problems are responsible for more than half of the tooth mortality. There are some articles published in the literature about this issue. Many of them are quite old. There has been also lack of knowledge about the effect of endodontic treatment on the periodontal tissue healing and suitable treatment interval between endodontic and periodontal treatments. In this case rep...

PATIENT A fifty-two-year old female patient visited our dental hospital due to periodontal disease and aesthetic complaint by median diastema. A resin bonded retainer for the upper anterior teeth was placed after periodontal treatment and minor tooth movement. Median diastema and periodontal disease have not relapsed for these 6 years. DISCUSSION Prosthetic treatment combined with minor tooth...
