background and aims . peri-implantitis is a chronic progressive marginal infection which is defined as an inflammato-ry reaction affecting the tissues surrounding osseointegrated dental implants resulting in loss of supporting bone. microflora of patients with implants who are edentulous mainly consists of gram positive facultative cocci and non motile rods. pre-dominantly, streptococcus sangui...

Context Local administration of antimicrobial agents offer a "site-specific" approach to the periodontal therapy and it has several benefits. Aim The present study was aimed to assess the clinical and microbial changes by subgingival irrigation using different subgingival irrigants in periodontitis patients and also to assess the mechanical effect of different local irrigation devices; if any...

INTRODUCTION The placement of fixed orthodontic appliances may lead to increased plaque accumulation and changes in subgingival microflora. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the changes in frequency of subgingival microflora that occur after placement and removal of fixed orthodontic appliance using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). METHODS This study included 33 orthodontic pat...

introduction: one of the most common problems we confront in orthodontic therapy is periodontal diseases. initial factor which causes these diseases is colonization of anaerobic microorganisms in subgingival plaque. technically, local environmental changes related to orthodontic band and brackets may influence the bacterial species in periodontal plaque. however, it seems necessary to assess va...

The influence of supragingival plaque control on the subgingival microflora and clinical parameters of ligature-induced periodontitis in the Cynomolgus monkey was investigated. No clinical changes were observed during the six-week experimental period. The total cultivable flora and the proportions of total black-pigmented Bacteroides (BPB) and asaccharolytic black-pigmented Bacteroides decrease...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to test the efficacy of a novel low-abrasive air polishing powder in subgingival plaque removal at interdental sites during periodontal maintenance therapy (PMT). METHODS Using a split mouth design, subgingival plaque was removed in 23 PMT patients using a low abrasive powder using a standard air polishing unit (test) or curets (positive control). Before an...

Aim: Clinical assessment of periodontal status and subgingival microflora in children aged 10-14 years with plaque-induced gingivitis. Materials methods: The subject the study were 34 children. real-time PCR method was used for identification 9 microorganisms. Results: studied showed a probing depth averaging 1.26±0.24 mm unsatisfactory oral hygiene (FMPS - 62.76±22.94). A generalized form ging...
