The purposes of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of peri-implant diseases; mucositis and periimplantitis of patients received dental implant at Riyadh city, KSA. In addition to the assessment of the relationship between peri-implant diseases and other related risk factors such as plaque accumulation, smoking, diabetes, and overall periodontal condition. A cross-sectional study was carri...

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting almost half of the adult US population. Gingiva is an integral part of the periodontium and has recently been identified as a source of adult gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs). Given the prevalence of periodontitis, the purpose of this study is to evaluate differences between GMSCs derived from healthy and diseased gingival ...

GCF is a serum transudate or inflammatory exudate that derived from the periodontal tissues and can be collected at orifice within gingival crevice.(1) The potential diagnostic importance of fluid was recognized more than 60 years ago serious investigation dynamics production did not begin until late 1950s with reports Brill co-workers.(2,3) component derives primarily microvascular leakage. Ad...

The study evaluated the biochemical effects of chronic exposure to oil refining industry on levels pro-inflammatory cytokines and lipid peroxidation processes in saliva hazardous production workers. workers main specialties Bukhara refinery were examined. both shops employees plant management determined by amount destruction epithelial attachment gums, value CPI index. At same time, with an inc...

the biologic width (bw) includes attached epithelial cells and connective tissue attachment complex being very important in the periodontal health during prosthetic treatments as invading this zone can cause bone resorption and gingival recession. the present study investigated biologic width values in the normal periodontium in anterior and posterior teeth. 30 patients that referred from resto...

Case description: A 20-year-old male patient presented for routine dental treatment. By radiographic examination we noted an extensive radioluscent area, laterally to the permanent maxillary right lateral incisor, with possibility of communication with the lateral periodontium, suggestive of a chronic apical periodontitis. Due to external root resorption detection, we used a calcium hydroxide r...

The tooth root transmits and balances occlusal forces through the periodontium to the alveolar bone. The periodontium, including the gingiva, the periodontal ligament, the cementum and the partial alveolar bone, derives from the dental follicle (DF), except for the gingiva. In the early developmental stages, the DF surrounds the tooth germ as a sphere and functions to promote tooth eruption. Ho...

Periodontal therapy aims at arresting periodontal infection and maintaining a healthy periodontium. The periodic mechanical removal of subgingival microbial biofilms is essential for controlling inflammatory periodontal disease. Mechanical periodontal therapy consists of scaling, root planing and gingival curettage. The sonic and ultrasonic scalers are valuable tools in the prevention of period...

This review paper investigates the possible transformation of endosseous dental implant, primarily from the current osseointegrated to the future ligament anchored implant within which a new class of implants with enhanced feature of “neuro-ligament integration” may appear. Endosseous dental implants used presently to replace missing teeth get fused with bone but they do not have any periodonta...
