Although laser treatment has generated considerable interest among dentists and the public, there is no evidence that any laser system adds clinical value over and above scaling and root planing and conventional surgical treatment for periodontitis. Following a brief explanation of the mechanism behind soft tissue lasers, the evidence on the use of laser therapy in addition to traditional nonsu...

systemic antibiotics in conjunction with scaling and root planing (srp), can offer an additional benefi t over srp alone in the treatment of periodontitis, in terms of clinical attachment loss (cal) and pocket depth change, and reduced risk of additional cal loss. however, antibiotics are not innocuous drugs. their use should be justifi ed on the basis of a clearly established need and should n...

Local anesthesia is administered to control pain, but it may induce fear and anxiety. Root planing is a non-surgical periodontal therapy; however, when it is performed in an extensive manner, some tissue removal is inevitable. Notably, this removal may be so painful that local anesthesia is required to be administered to the area scheduled for the treatment. Although patients tend to accept roo...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical efficacy of InGaAsP diode laser as adjunct to traditional scaling and root planing. BACKGROUND DATA The use of laser is one of the most recent methods in nonsurgical periodontal treatment. Efficacy and side effects of each type of laser treatment have yet to be determined. METHODS Thirty patients suffering from moderate periodontal di...

Title of dissertation: Dynamics and Control of Non-Smooth Systems with Applications to Supercavitating Vehicles Vincent Nguyen, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Dissertation directed by: Professor Balakumar Balachandran Department of Mechanical Engineering The subject matter of this dissertation relates to the dynamics of non-smooth vehicle systems, and in particular, supercavitating vehicles.

AIM The aim of the present study was to evaluate the short-term clinical and microbiological effect of chlorhexidine varnish when used as an adjuvant to scaling and root planing in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A split-mouth design was conducted in 11 patients suffering from chronic periodontitis. The control site underwent scaling and root planing, and the exp...

Aim: To evaluate the potency of systemic anti-oxidants in non-surgical treatment generalised chronic periodontitis. Objective: Purpose this short term clinical study is to ascertain whether or not daily supplementation antioxidants adjunctively used after scaling and root planing (SRP) would improve condition periodontitis using C-reactive protein (CRP) as inflammatory markers index needs (CPTI...
