Aggressive periodontitis during adolescence has a poor prognosis due to rapid alveolar bone resorption. Few studies have investigated long-term follow-up after surgical orthodontic treatment performed in conjunction with that for invasive periodontitis. Here, we report case of mandibular prognathism accompanied by generalized aggressive and crowding. A 31-year-old woman was referred our departm...

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 Scaling and root planing (SRP) is a conventional treatment for chronic periodontitis; however, it has limitations in treating deep pockets. To enhance its efficacy, chlorhexidine (CHX) proposed as adjunctive therapy with SRP due to broad antimicrobial spectrum, low systemic toxic activity humans, absence of oral microorganism resistance, lack teratogenic effects. This study aimed kno...

Introduction: A multifactorial condition characterised by an increase in size is called gingival enlargement. Most common form drug induced Different treatment options to manage overgrowth are categorised as non-surgical approach and surgical approach. Non-surgical mechanical periodontal gold standard of therapy first recommended control infections. Objective: To determine clinical effect scali...

AIM Root debridement by scaling and root planing may not completely remove contaminated cementum particularly in more apical areas. The smear layer formed during root planing inhibits cell migration and attachment leading to impaired marginal periodontal healing. The present study was done to compare the morphological effects of root surface demineralization using citric acid and EDTA as root-c...

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted much attention for the treatment of pathogenic biofilm associated with peridontitis and peri-implantitis. However, data from randomized controlled clinical studies (RCTs) are limited and, to some extent, controversial, making it difficult to provide appropriate recommendations. Therefore, the aims of the present study were (a) to provide an...

BACKGROUND Periodontitis is chronic inflammation that causes damage to the soft tissues and bones supporting the teeth. Mild to moderate periodontitis affects up to 50% of adults. Conventional treatment is quadrant scaling and root planing. In an attempt to enhance treatment outcomes, alternative protocols for anti-infective periodontal therapy have been introduced: full-mouth scaling (FMS) and...
