Effect of initial periodontal therapy
Background : Volatile sulfur compounds (VSC), such as hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan and dimethyl sulfide, are toxic metabolites produced by periodontal pathogens. These VSC are also released from the tongue dorsum. Currently, limited data are available on how periodontal treatments may affect sulcular/ tongue sulfide level. The aim of this study was to determine effect of initial therapy i...
متن کاملLasers for initial periodontal therapy.
With a greater understanding of the components that initiate the host into the downward spiral of periodontal disease, the clinician must look for better treatment and therapy options. Clinical observations and studies show good results, making incorporation of the laser into the first phase of nonsurgical periodontal therapy an excellent choice.
متن کاملEvaluation of Cariogenic Bacteria
OBJECTIVES The evaluation of Mutans streptococci (MS) is one of the index for caries risk. Dentocult(TM) and CRT(TM) are commercial kits to detect and evaluate MS, conveniently. However, the evaluation of MS has also been carried out simply using an instruction manual. But the instruction manual is not easy to use for evaluation of MS. The aim of this study was to examine the utility of modifie...
متن کاملRelationship of cariogenic bacteria levels with periodontal status and root surface caries in elderly Japanese.
OBJECTIVE The relationship of the levels of cariogenic bacterial species with periodontal status and decayed root surfaces was investigated in elderly Japanese subjects. METHODS Three hundred and sixty-eight individuals (each 75 years old) were examined for periodontal status (pocket depth, attachment loss), root surface caries and salivary levels of mutans streptococci (MS) and lactobacilli ...
متن کاملVirulence properties of cariogenic bacteria
The importance of Streptococcus mutans in the etiology of dental caries has been well documented. However, there is growing recognition that the cariogenic potential of dental plaque may be determined by the composite interactions of the total plaque bacteria rather than solely the virulence properties of a single organism. This study will examine how the interactions of S. mutans with other bi...
