background: to determine plasma concentrations of bone resorption marker cross-linked n-terminal telopeptide (ntx) of type i collagen in periodontal health, disease and after nonsurgical periodontal therapy in chronic periodontitis group.in addition, to know the association between plasma ntx levels and the different clinical parameters. materials and methods: thirty subjects were divided on th...

The prevention of periodontal disease is a key factor in oral health. It has also become evident that periodontal health is associated with systemic health. Nonsurgical scaling and root planing is the standard of care for periodontitis. Supragingival plaque removal influences the bacterial environment in pockets up to 3 mm in depth, while subgingival scaling and root planing is essential in poc...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE A low-grade systemic inflammatory status originating from periodontal infection has been proposed to explain the association between periodontal disease and systemic conditions, including adverse obstetric outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of periodontal therapy during pregnancy on the gingival crevicular fluid and serum levels of six cytokines ...

Periodontal surgical procedures may not always offer a predictable level of success in the reproduction of a natural gingival architecture. Two different nonsurgical approaches are described for the management of soft tissue deficiencies in anterior implant-supported restorations. Clinically acceptable esthetic outcomes of anterior implant restorations can be achieved by using zirconium custom ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the condition and treatment needs of the periodontium in adults living in Podlasie region. Checked population was divided into three groups: 18 year old, 35-44 and 65-74 year old. The assessment of the periodontium status was performed on the basis of CPITN index. The study showed that young people usually did not need any periodontal treatment. The predomi...

External root resorption was recognized as a late complication of traumatic injuries to the teeth, which usually occurs after orthodontic treatment, orthognatic or dentoalveolar surgery, bleaching techniques or other similar conditions. The purpose of our paper is to discuss the predisposing factors and to present treatment options for teeth with cervical resorption, with emphasys on surgical e...
