BACKGROUND Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) is a composite of proteins that was demonstrated histologically to work as an adjunct to periodontal regenerative surgical therapy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and histologic effects of EMD as an adjunct to scaling and root planing. METHODS Four patients with severe chronic periodontitis and scheduled to receive complete den...

A case of a 9-year-old child with hereditary gingival fibromatosis, supernumerary tooth, chest deformities, auricular cartilage deformation, joint laxity and undescended testes is described. The exact mode of inheritance is unclear; a new mutation pattern is possible. These features resemble but differ from the previously reported Laband syndrome. The dental treatment consisted of surgical remo...

The successful manufacturing of glulam from several important Australian commercial timbers is quite challenging due to difficulties in gluing. Improvements adhesive bond performance spotted gum, Darwin stringybark, and southern pine timber have been achieved using alternative pre-gluing surface machining methods, e.g., face milling sanding-post planing, when compared conventional planing metho...

Planing hulls, commonly used in many areas, have different hydrodynamic behavior than the displacement even calm water. Therefore, this makes calculation of maneuvering parameters these hulls appealing. In present study, a planing hull's numerical static drift analyses are performed using unsteady RANS approach to evaluate sway force and yaw moment at angles attack advance velocities. The resul...

In recent years, high-speed vessels such as passenger ships, fishing boats, and pleasure have been operated in various applications. Japan, the method of towing test, characteristics hydrodynamic forces acting on hull, kinetic during running waves studied many occasions particularly for planing semi-planing vessels. However, foreign countries, rectangular-shaped that a large flap at fore part E...

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as an adjuvant treatment for scaling and root planing (SRP) for the treatment of induced periodontitis in simvastatin-modified rats. Material and Methods A total of 180 rats were evenly divided into two groups: Veh - receiving oral administration of polyethylene glycol (vehicle); S - receiving oral administration o...

This case report presents orthodontic camouflage treatment and the correction of transposed canine-first premolar teeth in a patient who presented with skeletal Class III familial periodontal problem. A 28-year-old female was diagnosed generalised aggressive periodontitis treated by scaling root planing plus adjunctive use systemic antibiotics surgical therapy prior to referral department. Afte...
