Comparison between scaling-root-planing (SRP) and SRP/photodynamic therapy: six-month study
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this long-term clinical study was to examine the additional efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) to scaling and root planing (SRP) in patients with chronic periodontal disease. METHODS A total of 22 patients (mean age: 59.3 ± 11.7 years) with chronic periodontal disease and four teeth with probing depth ≥ 5 mm were enrolled in the study. Inclusion criteria were: ...
متن کاملA Spiderless Arachnophobia Therapy: Comparison between Placebo and Treatment Groups and Six-Month Follow-Up Study
We describe a new arachnophobia therapy that is specially suited for those individuals with severe arachnophobia who are reluctant to undergo direct or even virtual exposure treatments. In this therapy, patients attend a computer presentation of images that, while not being spiders, have a subset of the characteristics of spiders. The Atomium of Brussels is an example of such an image. The trea...
متن کاملScaling and root planing with and without periodontal flap surgery.
Complete removal of calculus is a primary part of achieving a "biologically acceptable" tooth surface in the treatment of periodontitis. Rabbani et al. reported that a single episode of scaling did not completely remove subgingival calculus and that the deeper the periodontal pocket, the less complete the calculus removal. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of sc...
متن کاملEffectiveness of antimicrobial adjuncts to scaling and root-planing therapy for periodontitis.
Periodontal diseases are bacterial infections that occur at or below the gum line. In contrast to gingivitis, which affects only the gums, periodontitis (severe periodontal disease) may involve the soft tissue and bone supporting the teeth. An estimated 70 percent of the adult U.S. population is affected by these infections. This includes 20–30 percent who have periodontitis that threatens the ...
متن کاملEfficacy of Carisolv as an adjunctive therapy to scaling and root planing on subgingival calculus removal.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of subgingival application of Carisolv gel as an adjunctive therapy to scaling and root planing (SRP) on calculus removal compared to conventional instrumentation. Forty-five teeth requiring extraction due to severe periodontal disease were randomized to the following treatments: 1) SRP alone; 2) placebo gel + SRP; 3) Carisolv gel + SR...
